Thirty-seven of this Peabody builder's forty-five Google comments landed inside two single weeks — one in April 2023, one in April 2024. That shape is the first thing worth knowing about an otherwise unbroken five-star page. North Shore Home Builders works out of 49 Tremont St in Peabody and describes itself as a full-service general contractor: custom home builds, major renovations, additions, and the landwork and site development that goes underneath them. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The company's own site names Mike as owner and CEO, and the reviews back that up — Michael Buonfiglio's name runs through the history, with Joe and Ben named as the project managers on a 2025 basement build-out. The work homeowners describe most concretely is ground-level: earth, access and prep. A customer writing in June 2026 had a shed pad put in over a root-bound corner of yard with shrubs to clear, and singled out the research that went into the pad spec. In a 2023 review, another described soil taken out, a retaining wall built and new fill brought in against a deadline set by a Reeds Ferry shed delivery. A January 2025 reviewer had a yard in a congested neighborhood redeveloped to a design the crew proposed rather than the one they had asked for, and preferred it. The 2025 basement finish is the largest indoor job on the page. Then the clusters. Twenty-seven comments are dated between 12 and 19 April 2024 and ten more fall in a week of April 2023, and a sizeable share of those are written by people describing a professional relationship rather than a job they paid for: a home stager who works with builders, a contact who deals with the company "business to business", an investor who has "been investing with North shore property groups for years". Real people saying real things — but not customers, and they carry most of the page's volume. Set them aside and the homeowner record is much smaller, with one review in the last six months. There is a tenure question too. The BBB lists the company as not accredited with two years in business, while the Google history reaches back to April 2023 and one 2023 reviewer recalls a landscaping company Mike ran before this one. Reviewers also use several trading names — North Shore Property Group, Build North Shore, North Shore Builders — so it is worth asking which entity would sign the contract. A reasonable call for site work, yard redevelopment, additions and whole-house renovation on the North Shore, with a live state registration behind it. Before booking, ask for two or three recent references from homeowners specifically, and get the contracting entity and registration number written into the agreement.
I needed a shed pad installed in my backyard in an area that had a lot of roots and a couple of shrubs that needed to be removed. The team from North Shore Home Builders did an excellent job from start to finish. Communication was easy and on time , they did the research on pad size and depth and built a solid, level shed pad.<br>The crew was professional, hardworking, and clean . The finished pad looks great, and I’m very happy with the quality of their work. I would highly recommend North Shore Home Builders to anyone looking for reliable and skilled site work or outdoor construction projects.
Very good!
Working with Build North Shore to finish our basement was an incredible experience from start to finish. They flawlessly transformed our previously unfinished and unused space, creating a beautiful and highly functional extension of our home. Joe and Ben, our project managers, were outstanding—communicative, transparent, and truly masters of their craft, offering their knowledge and expertise at every step. Their attention to detail and commitment to our project made us feel like a top priority, regardless of how many other jobs they had going on simultaneously. Every member of their extended team who entered our home to complete work was respectful, noninvasive, and efficient. Mike, the owner and CEO of NSHB, has built an exceptional team, setting the bar incredibly high for any other building companies in the area. We couldn’t be happier with the process and the final result—and we already know who we’ll be calling for our next project. Whether the job is large or small, there is truly no one else we’ll be working with moving forward.
Mike and his team did a fantastic job of redeveloping my yard into a much more user friendly space. They came in with a fresh design that we weren't even thinking of and it works perfectly. The access to the space wasn't easy as I live in a congested neighborhood , but even with the obstacles in place, they were able to rebuild the stairs off the back of my house, repave my entire backyard, and build a retaining wall with access to the back gate, which is 6 feet higher than my yard.
Having just completed an home maintenance and repair project with North Shore Home Builder’s we couldn’t have been more pleased.<br><br>These guys check all the boxes. Led by Michael Buonfiglio.We had a wide variety of projects to complete from tree removal to replacing a nearly 100 year old wooden garage doors, as well as replacing gutters and downspouts, power washing the house and a whole lot of painting.<br><br>I was concerned weather one company could handle it all. NSHB was up to the challenge. The project with multiple jobs and contractors went like dream. Communication and coordination was the key and as I found out this was just one of skills that NSHB excelled at.<br><br>The biggest challenge was the garage doors. Michael recommend one of his skilled craftsmen to do the job. He did an a amazing job, way beyond our expectations my wife and I were thrilled with the results.<br><br>If you are in need of a full service contractor you can trust that’s on time and on budget with most skilled team of contractors, I highly recommend North Shore Home Builder’s, you will not be disappointed!
