Two names come up in nearly every review of Southcoast Building: Mike and Roy. The Assonet company says Roy Cabral brings 39 years on job sites and Mike Bicho 35 years running budgets and schedules, and that they set the business up in Westport in 2020 — more than $9 million of homes, additions and ADUs built or under contract since, by their own count. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and its BBB page carries an A+ grade. The written history is unusually consistent: 20 reviews since 2022, every one of them five stars, with Google showing 4.8 across 25 ratings. What people describe changes with the year. Windows dominate the 2023–2025 comments — 16 windows and a front door in a March 2025 review, all the windows in a four-unit investment property in October 2023, a replacement job tied to the MBTA Rail project in July 2025 — and reviewers keep noting the crew fixed what it found underneath. One October 2025 customer wrote that they "didn't just plop the windows in place" but replaced rotting wood, leveled out earlier defects, painted chipped trim, and re-secured a flapping strip of siding nobody had asked about. Roofs are the other recurring job in those years: a February 2025 roof replacement described as cleaned up beyond expectation, a one-day tear-off and replacement ahead of a solar install in September 2023. The newer end of the record is bigger work — a January 2026 whole-house gut with a three-bedroom, two-bathroom addition and new kitchen, praised for holding to timeline and budget, and a July 2026 buyer of one of their homes who liked being walked through the build whenever they stopped by. What to know before you call: the company now presents itself as taking a limited number of projects a year starting around $200,000 — new homes, ADUs and major additions — while its BBB profile still lists roofing, siding and softwash. If your job is a few windows or a single roof, ask first whether they still take it. Two other things to confirm: everything written about them sits on Google (the BBB page carries no reviews at all), and BBB lists a Rhode Island contractor registration alongside the Massachusetts ones, so ask which registration covers your address. For a South Coast homeowner planning an addition, an in-law suite or a build from plans, this is a small outfit whose customers consistently say the schedule and the budget held. Ask for the current project minimum, the written warranty they advertise, and a certificate of insurance before you sign.
“Southcoast Building really came through when our business needed a new roof and exterior doors.”
We had a great experience working with Mike and Roy throughout the construction of our home. Even though the home was already planned when we purchased it, they made the process of customizing the layout and choosing finishes easy and enjoyable. Roy was always happy to walk us through the progress whenever we stopped by, and both he and Mike took the time to answer our questions and keep us informed throughout the build. They were knowledgeable, easy to work with, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. We're very happy with our new home and would definitely recommend Southcoast Building to anyone looking for a quality new construction home.
We cannot say enough good things about Mike and Roy with Southcoast Building. From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. We met with a few contractors, but after our first sit-down with Mike and Roy, we knew they would be the team we wanted to work with. They stuck to the agreed-upon timeline, stayed on budget, and their communication was seamless throughout the entire project. They were incredibly transparent and trustworthy. Our project was a complete gut of our existing house and a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom addition with a brand new kitchen. The workmanship was outstanding, and every crew and subcontractor they brought in did amazing work. If Mike or Roy ever noticed a potential issue or improvement on the blueprints, they took the time to sit down with us and walk through practical, well-thought-out solutions together before moving forward. As a young couple who had never built before, I was expecting the process to be overwhelming, but they made everything feel smooth and manageable. They took the time to explain things, answered every question, and truly had our best interests in mind. We felt confident and supported every step of the way. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality builders. We are excited for the many years to come in the home Southcoast built for us.
I had a great experience working with Mike and Roy from start to finish. Roy and his crew came and did a great job. They were conscientious and professional. They didn’t just plop the windows in place but they corrected and replaced any imperfections be it rotting wood to leveling out prior window defects. They would definitely be on my call list for any other renovations needed. Not only did they install the windows but painted the trim and walls if there was any chipping. Roy even repaired a flapping siding strip we had on the side of the house without knowing how we would repair it. He did it without us asking and it was much appreciated. They put in full days, cleaned as they went. If anyone has renovations to be done, don’t hesitate in calling them.
Great experience! Competitive quote, timely scheduling, and professional workmanship. We couldn’t be happier with our 16 new windows and new front door.
Southcoast Building LLC, did an excellent job installing my windows. They are very professional.
