Kelsey Mill Construction

Kelsey Mill is the street Michael Haroutunian grew up on. It is also, by the company's own telling, the name he put on the construction business he founded in 2010 and still runs himself as owner-builder. The Amesbury, Massachusetts company describes itself as full-service — new homes, remodels and additions worked across the Seacoast, into New Hampshire and Maine. Its Houzz profile sits under design-build firms and shows a kitchen remodel. It is a one-owner shop, so put the questions to Haroutunian directly: who is on site day to day, what his schedule looks like for your start date, and which state's licensing covers your job. Get the scope, the allowances and the payment schedule in writing, and ask to see a recent finished project near you.
