NORTH COAST Builders I am happy and excited to be building in the Dominican Republic. I have more than 30 years of experience and this will be my 28th year as a business owner.

I am ready to ensure clients receive the service and quality they deserve. Welcome to the DR!🇩🇴 DR NORTH COAST BUILDERS

Hola and Welcome to DR North Coast Builders. Im Michael Norton Jr, Am the owner of North Coast Builders here in SOSUA, DR.

I Have been coming to the Dr for five years now and this is my third year of being a villa owner at Sosua Ocean Village (SOV), I love he weather here, liv

ing next to the ocean, the people and the overall 'VIBE'' of the island. I remember during my first visit.. i had the idea of living here someday while focusing on building, real state and rentals, i am now ready to assist people in building their
''TROPICAL DREAM VILLAS''
I am Originally from Rochland, Maine in the UNITED STATES AKA '' The Lobster Capital of the World'' Both my parents had their own business, my father had Norton + Masters, CPA Firm and My Mother Owner Andrus Flowers and Gifts. She also sold real state when i was in highschool. i started my building career at the age of 19 and now have over 30 years of experience. When i decided to build at SOSUA OCEAN VILLAGE (SOV) i was able to find a builder similar to myself. WAYNE was a Canadian builder who has lived here in DR since 2008. Wayne is now retired. He and I did my entire Project on a handshake. it was more than helpful to have a builder here that i trust and who will follow through with what i have asked. it was key to know things were running smoothly while i was over 1,500 miles away in Maine. i was very grateful when Wayne xplained to me that the Fiber Glass Windows here are double the money compare to metal windows, however, he said ''The metal windows will leak'' i choose fiberglass, Wayne also made sure my shower floors were Sloped properly towards the drain. I have stayed at many Airbnb's here in sosua an most bathroom floors are completely level-Flat. Their Solution to the water on the floor issue, is to put a mop next to the shower. he also added ''Niches'' to both showers at no added cost. there are some of the small things that make a tremendous difference i feel. Americans, Canadian and Europeans are used to a certain level of quality and have an expectation of how things should be done in a professional manners. My Goal here is to follow in Wayne's footsteps so to speak while incorporating my own knowledge and skills as a builder. i am constantly thinking and looking into better ways to work an to accomplish my projects well. i am very excited to live here and to serve people like myself so they may feel confident their investiment is being done in a timely manner an with quality, i have review and referrals and reviews availablee upon request. i make a daily effort to return calls and answer texts and emails. i feel its important to treat people how i would like to be treated. please contact Michael Norton to begin the process if manifesting your TROPICAL DREAM VILLA! Gracias,

Michael Norton

Hola, I brought some help with me yesterday and we quickly cleaned up the remaining trash, bottles and miscellaneous piles of sticks on the beach landfill I had collected after the storm about a month ago.

The guys who work at the beach have increased their cleaning efforts which was great to see. Today, there were people sitting in the area where the remaining bags of trash and bottles were yesterday so that made me smile.

I was a little disheartened after the three day weekend recently because the beach was looking fairly nice, but after that weekend, there was trash everywhere’s. There must be some type of disconnect  because it’s a beautiful island not a landfill. It’s also difficult to advertise as a stunning tourist destination when there is trash all over the place I feel.

I remember going to St. Thomas when I was in high school and the areas around the resorts were very clean. Then my family went scuba diving on the other side of the island and once we left the resort areas there was more trash than I ever seen in my life.

I watched the report recently on YouTube where the person said a big reason for the flooding here is because there’s so much trash blocking the waterways which causes overflowing.

Hopefully with time this will get better because there are a lot more pros than cons and I definitely love coming here. I wish you all the best! 🙏🏼🇩🇴❤️

Hola, today I would like to promote Franco's business. I have known Franco for two years and not only does he do a great job, he is also an extremely kind person. He follows through on what he says, is punctual, and knows what he is doing. His workers are also pleasant people and follow his example.

I would recommend his services to anyone who needs landscaping work, pool cleaning, and his other services.

One of the things I like most about Franco is that he always responds to me as soon as he can. If he is driving, he lets me know and will get back to me later. Franco will also recommend other people if he feels he cannot do a particular job, which I admire because that is not common here.

His business practices are solid and consistent. Franco is a family man who practices what he preaches, and if you need any of the services he offers, I would recommend him 110%.

Thank you for your time, and I hope everyone has a great day! 🙏🏼🇩🇴❤️

La Playa de Alicia, I was back to my weekend project for a few hours today. When I arrived, there was at least four or five bags more than I had left yesterday along with this container full of bottles. I walked the bags to the garbage cans at the other end of the beach before I thought to take a picture so I only got the container of bottles. I was very pleased to see that other people had been chipping in after I left yesterday. It’s catching on!

I almost got everything picked up today but I ran out of bags. They must’ve have been dumping there for some time because it was layers of trash and every time I pulled a vine up more trash would come up. I ended up removing a lot of overgrowth and weeds because it was all mixed in with the trash. I feel when I’m done it will be a nice little secluded area.

People seem to enjoy going way down to that end of the beach but there are no containers to put trash in so people just end up leaving it or throwing it over in this spot. The trees and overgrowth will deteriorate over time, but the trash will be there much much longer, especially the styrofoam and bottles.  There has been a positive response to all this which I appreciate.🙏🏼

It would be nice to burn the tree limbs and other wood debris, but I’m not sure if that’s allowed or if a permit is needed.
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Mike 🙏🏼

Hola, I decided to start cleaning the area at the end of the beach today. It’s been an eye sore long enough. Recently, I saw a couple teenage kids, smashing bottles in that area. I didn’t say anything because I might’ve done the same thing at that age but then I thought if there were no bottles. Then there wouldn’t be anything to smash. Plus, once I start cleaning something it’s difficult for me to stop until it’s completely done.

I ended up removing a lot of over growth in order to get all the garbage out. In the process, I did take my knuckles across the volcanic rock. It was a beautiful day at Playa Alicia and I noticed a couple other people picking up some trash as well. My goal is to get enough construction work during the week to where I can hire someone to help me and to clean areas throughout Sosua. So when the people come to visit, or when the full time people travel around Sosúa and the north coast there not looking at miscellaneous trash everywhere’s. May all of you have a wonderful weekend!

Hola from North Coast Builders, I’m pleased to announce that we are offering high end work at a more than reasonable cost. I recently had these pictures estimated for a job here in Sosua (the main villa with pool and the casita without the pool).

The estimate also included a water tank, sewage tank, frontal and lateral fences, trimming and lot cleanup, drawing of custom plans and approvals taxes quote.

My subcontractor has more than 20 years of building experience here in Sosua and is also an engineer. We both share the same philosophies on building and are willing to offer high quality work done in a timely manner, at or below the cost of industry standards.

I am forthright and here to provide an honest service to those seeking a clean quality project that you will be proud of upon completion. I’m here to make sure your investment and experience meets your needs. This is my 28th year as a construction business owner and I’m able to provide references from previous clients as well.

Thank you and please contact Michael for more info and have a wonderful day!

Hola, I was asked to post a video yesterday so here’s one from today. It’s a good workout and I got plenty of sun this weekend!
This is me cleaning at the far end of the beach. The styrofoam really got crammed into the small spots in between the sand and rock but I made sure I got it all.
It’s a happy beach again!❤️🇩🇴🙏🏼

Hola! Another successful day at La Playa de Alicia! My leftover Playero bags came in handy. The little pieces of styrofoam are very time consuming to pick up but I was able to fill more than 10 bags.

I cleaned the far end of the beach where I left of yesterday. It’s definitely satisfying to see someone laying out in an area that I just cleaned a half hour earlier. I’m happy to report things are back to normal for the most part.😊

Mike from the Waterfront Restaurant beach crew was thoughtful enough to bring me a water. I also spoke with Ivan the owner of Parazules umbrellas and chairs. Ivan and his helper were cleaning when I arrived and he said he would get a wheelbarrow and pick up the piles I made.

It felt good watching the beach being transformed back into its beautiful self.
I was asked to make some videos, so I will post a couple of those next. ❤️🇩🇴🙏🏼

Happy Place update! I borrowed a rake and cleaned a 200’ long section of the beach. The area with chairs and umbrellas was cleaned by the beach crew and even tourists chipped in!
It was nice to see the beach improving with everyone’s assistance. It has inspired me to go back tomorrow to clean so more.
I prefer to have things neat and in order whether it’s at the beach or the job site.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 🙏🏼❤️
