North Shore Home Builders is Mike Buonfiglio's Peabody general contractor, working on custom builds, major renovations, additions and site work. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 214695, is active on the state registry. The accounts that describe actual jobs are the useful ones, and they lean toward ground and structure rather than finishes. A June 2026 customer needed a shed pad in a root-bound corner of a backyard, with shrubs to clear, and credits the crew with researching the pad specification before building it. In April 2025 a homeowner described an unfinished basement turned into a finished extension of the house, naming Joe and Ben as project managers. A January 2025 reviewer had a yard redesigned in a congested neighborhood with difficult access. Back in 2023, another described soil removal, a retaining wall and new fill placed to a deadline so a shed could be assembled on delivery day. Then there is the shape of the record. Twenty-seven of the forty-five reviews were posted in eight days in April 2024, and a striking number are not from homeowners at all: one reviewer describes the company as 'some of the nicest people I deal with business to business', another as a long-standing business partner, another praises its 'subcontractor list', a home stager writes as a trade contact, and several credit North Shore Property Group — the affiliated property company — rather than the builder. Peer and counterparty praise is not the same thing as a customer describing their own house, and the star average does not distinguish between them. Only one review has been written in the past six months. The supporting records disagree with each other, too. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as not accredited with two years in business, while a Houzz profile for North Shore Design-Build, LLC describes a woman-owned design-build firm operating since 2012. A sensible call for site work, foundations, additions and full renovations on the North Shore, especially where the ground is the hard part. Read the star average with the above in mind: ask which entity your contract will be with, ask for two or three completed homeowner projects you can visit, and confirm registration 214695 yourself on the state registry.
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!
