Teheen Construction is an Ipswich, MA carpentry and remodeling company run by owner Michael Teheen, whose Houzz profile lists an extensive menu of trim, crown molding, custom cabinetry, built-ins and doors — the kind of finish carpentry the company is filed under on that platform. BBB records list a Massachusetts construction license (#149787) for the business, and BuildZoom separately reports the same license as active as of its last check in March 2026. The five written reviews on file run from 2016 to 2021, and the more recent ones describe substantial projects done well. In a 2021 review, a customer said Mike and his crew repaired and replaced portions of a rotting foundation, calling the company "efficient and thorough" and describing Mike putting in long days to make the new foundation solid. A 2020 review described the crew as early, clean and organized, with Mike explaining options as unexpected issues came up mid-project. In 2018, one customer said Michael and his team demolished an old bathroom and built a new one "professionally, accurately and efficiently," with excellent communication throughout, and another Houzz review that year credited the company with sticking to budget and timeline and staying available for questions. There's also one sharply negative account among the five reviews on file. A 2016 review described the company as not showing up on time, working half days, and charging about $4,000 more than quoted, calling the finished work subpar. It's the only account of its kind, and it's now a decade old — but worth asking about directly, especially around scheduling and how estimates are handled. For carpentry, foundation repair, or a full bathroom rebuild, the 2018–2021 reviews describe a company that communicates well and finishes carefully; given how few written reviews there are and how much time has passed since the most recent one, it's worth asking for references from recent work before booking.
Teheen Construction is efficient and thorough. Mike and his crew repaired & replaced portions of our rotting foundation and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mike went above and beyond to make sure our new foundation is very solid, putting in some really long days. His finishing work on the exterior is flawless. This was done on time and within budget. I 100% plan to use Teheen Construction for my future projects.
Very professional. Mike and his crew were always early and very very clean and organized. As to be expected with any project there was a few surprises while taking a house apart. During these instances Mike went out of his way to explain what could be done while giving me many scenarios and options along with his personal critique and opinion. I can’t say enough good about these guys I recommend them to all my friends and family.
Highly recommend. Michael and his team stick to budget and timeline. Michael is always available for questions and advice. High quality work.
Michael Teheen and his team demolished an old, outdated bathroom and completed a new one for us. They did the job professionally, accurately and efficiently. All aspects were well coordinated, communication between us was excellent, and everyone involved put in a hard day's work, never leaving a mess behind. The job was finished in a timely manner and we are more than happy with the result.
Worst experience I've had with a contractor. Did not show up on time, worked half days, and charged me 4 grand more than I was quoted. AND work was subpar. This man is a hack. Do NOT do business with this man.... Will post pictures later.
