## The honest read

South Coast Creations is the crew Plymouth-area homeowners call when the ocean is eating their yard - seawalls, rip-rap revetments, boulder retaining walls, and the permitting fights with Conservation Commissions and the DEP that come with building on the water. Liam Delowery runs it, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active.

The written record runs seven years deep, and the specialty shows in job after job: rebuilding a collapsed sea wall on Cape Cod, chinking rip-rap walls, replacing a septic system on a three-acre waterfront island while working with Conservation and the Board of Health, and restoring wetlands and erosion control on beachfront property. When a customer's water main failed and flooding threatened the house, reviewers describe the crew coming the same day. Several clients say they have used SCC across multiple projects over the years - a seawall one season, lawn maintenance and landscape design the next.

There's a real crack in that record worth knowing about. In a tight stretch from mid-May to early June 2025, several reviewers described the company agreeing to take on a project and then going quiet - unanswered calls, an unsent contract, one reviewer wrote simply "Zero communication." Two of those accounts came from people in genuinely difficult circumstances: a widow trying to rebuild a collapsed sea wall to sell her late husband's home, and someone handling a sea wall repair after their father's death, both describing Liam as several hours late to scheduled visits and then increasingly hard to reach. A separate 2025 reviewer called a pre-hire phone call with staff member Freddie "very pushy." An August 2024 review described a promised completion date that slipped, with a follow-up call left unanswered, though that reviewer still called the crew itself skilled and hardworking.

Nothing like that shows up in the three most recent reviews on file, all from the last six months, and the company's Better Business Bureau page carries an A+ grade. For coastal work, drainage, or excavation, South Coast Creations has a deep track record of technically capable, well-reviewed jobs - but given the cluster of communication breakdowns in 2025, it's worth getting a firm start date and a direct point of contact before signing anything, especially for time-sensitive work.

**Strengths:**
- Coastal specialty — seawalls, revetments and erosion control across dozens of reviews
- Emergency response — reviewers describe same-day help during active flooding and erosion
- Permitting help — praised for navigating Conservation Commission and DEP requirements
- Repeat clients — several reviewers used SCC across multiple projects over years

**Concerns:**
- Communication lapses — several 2025 reviews describe unanswered calls and unsent paperwork
- Vulnerable-client complaints — two 2025 reviewers described being left waiting during family loss
- Pushy sales call — one reviewer described a pre-hire conversation as very pushy
