Xtreme Shotcrete sprays concrete for a living: its site describes shotcrete work on pools, retaining walls, slope stabilization and structural repairs for homes and businesses on the North Shore. Local news coverage of the Winthrop company is about seawalls. A May 2023 Boston Globe article quoted owner Michael Whitehead racing the tide to stabilize dirt before the water came up, and a May 2023 Daily Item article said the city hired him to spray concrete on the wall right after it collapsed. In April 2024, the Item reported a Xtreme Shotcrete crew stripping damaged concrete from the King's Beach seawall in Swampscott. BBB lists Mike Whitehead as president of a business started in 2007 with an A+ rating.
