Coastal Home Improvements is a Rehoboth Beach-based remodeling company founded by Miguel Aceves in 2010. We work with homeowners across Sussex County who want their renovation done right the first time, by a team they can trust to be in their home day after day.

What sets us apart is the experience itself. Covered floors. Contained dust. A predictable schedule. Updates you don't have to chase down. The finished kitchen, bath, or basement matters — but so does what the next few months feel like while we're getting there.

From homeowners we've built for.

  • T-012 months ago

    This was an exceptional experience, and I am thoroughly satisfied with the outcome. The installation team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and executed a flawless job throughout the entire process. A significant advantage was their meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that no debris was left behind. Miguel was instrumental in scheduling and guiding me to select a visually appealing and cost-effective carpet. The entire process spanned approximately two weeks, with the installation itself taking three hours. If you are seeking a high-quality carpet installation, I highly recommend Coastal Home Improvement.

    Miguel and his team did a fantastic job on our new en-suite bedroom. Their attention to detail, from dropping our floors so they would stay clean, to scheduling the inspections and overall the quality of the construction was awesome. The bathroom turned out fantastic and our new bedroom is quite the room. Thanks Coastal team. Awesome job.

    My experience with Coastal Home Improvements surpassed my expectations. I expected a quality job, but the customer service was far above average, as well. The entire staff was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Coastal constructed a build out for an electric fireplace I had purchased. I wanted to be sure it looked as though it came with the house and not just added in. It was done very professionally and looks perfect with my contemporary style. Initially, the owner of the company met with me personally to discuss the project, my desires and my expectations. He offered excellent suggestions, assured me that he understood what I wanted and upon completion, he delivered on his promises. I'm very excited with my new fireplace and would highly recommend Coastal Home Improvements.

    My wife and I moved into Hatteras Hills in early September, 2024. We were interested in remodeling our basement to add a recreational room, extra bedroom/office space, and a full bathroom. Miguel Aceves was referred to us by one of our Realtors. Miguel was very accommodating and thorough in offering his insights and expertise. We decided upon a floor plan and Miguel's team was able to complete the project. We elected to have a laminate floor installed vs. a rug. We are very happy with the results. We also contracted with Miguel to cleanup and paint the basement floor for our storage space. Our family is very impressed.

    We have used Coastal Home Improvements for several major renovation projects in our home. Miguel, the owner, is a shining star! He has so many great ideas and always shows up with a positive attitude and a solid work crew that do amazing work. He transformed our unfinished upstairs space into a beautiful space complete with a bedroom, full bath, and sitting area! In addition to new construction, they have replaced our basement carpeting with luxury vinyl flooring and have built us a custom stage for music events. They do everything from electrical, HVAC, drywall, painting etc. and have always left a clean workplace when the daily work has been completed. Highly recommend using them on your upcoming projects!

    Miguel and his team did an outstanding job with our project. We had an existing closet that we enlarged to put in a powder room. The final result was beautiful. It looks like it was always part of the house. Throughout the process, Miguel was easy to communicate with and he was able to stay within the timelines to get the job completed. His crew was hard working, very nice and always cleaned up after each work day. I highly recommend Coastal Home Improvement.

    I couldn't be happier with the work Coastal Home Improvements did for us! They tackled our shower and bath grout and caulk, along with some drywall repairs, and the results are fantastic. What impressed me most was their efficiency — they completed everything in just one day! The crew was incredibly professional and super nice to work with. They were courteous, cleaned up after themselves, and made the whole experience stress-free. The quality of their work is excellent, and I love how fresh and clean everything looks now.

    We have used Coastal Home Improvements for many of the upgrades to our home including tile placement behind the stove in the kitchen and the sink in the butler's pantry. They have painted many of our rooms, installed new light fixtures and ceiling fans, stained our garage doors and front doors, installed a heating unit and remodeled a bathroom, to name just a few of the projects. Miguel and his crew have been great to work with. I have referred him to others. He also has done work on several homes in our community. I highly recommend Miguel. He's the first person I call when I have a home improvement in mind. Don't hesitate to contact him!

    After receiving rather high estimates for a wet bar to go in the nook of my dining area, I purchased KraftMaid cabinets through Lowes for a dry bar. The cabinets will hold my pup's bedding, treats, and other things I use to take care of him. I planned to do the install myself, then realized to do it correctly it was going to be a 2-person job. I tried several installers but had no luck — calls and texts unreturned. I saw a Coastal Home Improvements trailer parked in front of a house in my neighborhood, took a photo of the name and phone number, and called them the next day. Miguel quickly responded and his crew did beautiful work. Highly recommend.

    Miguel and his guys did awesome work building out the fireplace. Framing, electrical, stonework and finishing touches were all done with great care and detail. Making sure the homeowner is satisfied is always on top of Miguel's mind and he did not disappoint. He always made himself available to address concerns and unlike many other contractors, he actually follows up on the work to make sure it is done right. I highly recommend him for your home improvement project!

    I recently had Coastal Home Improvements install wainscoting in my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, Miguel's team was professional, timely, and detail-oriented. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the wainscoting adds such an elegant, timeless touch to my home. The crew was respectful of my space, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and made sure everything was done to perfection. I was particularly impressed with how they took the time to listen to my vision and offered expert suggestions to enhance the design. Highly recommend Coastal Home Improvements to anyone looking for quality work and outstanding customer service!

    Miguel and his team were there to put in a much needed ramp in my house so my husband can go from room to room in his wheelchair. When I told him my concerns of him getting out of the hospital soon, Miguel had his men come the very next day to install it. They were pleasant and very professional and did a great job. Thank you Coastal for getting everything done so quick. I will definitely use them for my next project.

    Coastal Home Improvements has been such a wonderful experience. Miguel and his team are truly excellent craftsmen. Always on time, very professional, and experts in their field. They created a master bedroom in our home that is show stopping. They expanded the room and added an additional bathroom which is ocean view dreamy. They also recreated my basement and added a kids play room which is not only practical but so fun! We are still currently working with them to see what else they can upgrade in our home. Thank you Coastal Home Improvements! You have truly helped create our dream home.

    Spur of the moment home improvement project made possible — thanks to the professional craftsmanship of Coastal we now have an oversized sink and cabinet addition to our laundry room. Not only is it a great addition to the room but it has also increased our work space. Coastal was very flexible in taking our initial suggestions, making a few of theirs, resulting in an improvement that has exceeded our expectations.

They have done the full range of projects from building an office in an unfinished room, installing hardwood floors, building a feature wall in the loft, building a cedar chest into a built-in bench on a stairway landing, replacing under-cabinet lighting, removing a pergola and installing siding to match the house, as well as exterior and interior painting and more. The worksite is left clean every time! Miguel operates his business with a high degree of integrity and honesty. I trust his pricing and his work!

    Miguel and his talented crew did a fantastic job designing and installing a "bump out" wall to accommodate an electric fireplace (which they also installed). It proved evident that Coastal Home Improvements provided attention to detail, pride of workmanship, on-time dependable arrival, professionalism, and left the work area in spotless condition. In fact, we like the finished result so much that we contracted him to furnish and install ship lap around the base of our kitchen island. Needless to say, we highly recommend Coastal Home Improvements for anyone desiring an exceptional end result.

    Coastal Home Improvements completed a 400-square-feet job of an unfinished space over our garage. It included a bedroom with multiple closets (for storage and linen) and a full bath with fully tiled walking shower and a double-sink vanity. The entire project space was conditioned with a new Mitsubishi mini-split unit. The entire project was completed on time and within the estimated budget. The owner, Miguel, was extremely professional, cooperative and responsive to our needs and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire project.

    I have had three excellent experiences with Coastal Home Improvement: re-sealing the grout in my bathroom, hanging cabinets in my laundry room, and replacing the vinyl ceiling in my sunroom with wood. For all three jobs, the quality of work was outstanding, the pricing was reasonable, and Miguel was communicative and easy to work with. The sunroom project was particularly impressive because the original builder had done a poor job, especially with the wooden flashing where my skylights meet the ceiling. Now, my sunroom looks beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend Coastal Home Improvement for all of your needs!

04 / Process

How it works.

Four phases, each with a written deliverable and a homeowner checkpoint. Most of what goes wrong on a remodel comes from skipping the early phases — we don't.

  1. Phase 01Same week

    Initial contact

    Tell us about your project through the contact form or give us a call. We'll set up a time to come out.

  2. Phase 0260–90 min

    On-site visit

    We meet at your home, walk the project, and ask the questions that shape an accurate quote. No high-pressure pitch.

  3. Phase 03Within 2 weeks

    Written proposal

    We send a detailed proposal with scope, materials, and timeline laid out clearly. You get the time you need to review.

  4. Phase 04Phase-dependent

    Build & follow-up

    Floors covered, dust contained, schedule communicated. We follow up after handoff to make sure everything stays right.

07 / FAQ

Common questions.

The questions homeowners ask us most before they sign on. If yours isn't here, send us a note — we're happy to answer it.

  • How do you handle it when something unexpected comes up mid-project?

    Older homes — and especially coastal ones — almost always have something hidden behind a wall. When we hit something unexpected, we stop, document it, talk you through the options, and price the change in writing before moving forward. No surprise charges at the end.

  • What's it actually like to live in my house while you're working?

    We work hard to keep it livable. Floors get covered, work zones get sealed off to contain dust, and we clean up at the end of every day. You'll get a clear schedule up front and proactive updates throughout — so you always know what's happening and what to expect tomorrow.

  • Can you walk me through your proposal and timeline before I commit?

    Yes. After our on-site visit, we send a written proposal with scope, materials, and a project timeline. We walk you through it line by line, answer questions, and give you the time you need to review before signing anything.

  • What's your typical project range and timeline?

    Our projects typically run from $50,000 for focused remodels up to $5 million for full custom renovations. Timelines range from about three months for a single-room remodel to twenty-four months for whole-home builds.

  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes — fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Delaware. We can provide certificates of insurance on request before work begins.

  • What areas do you serve?

    We serve Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Georgetown, Milton, Dewey Beach, and Slaughter Beach, with a 50-mile service radius from Rehoboth Beach. If you're just outside the line, give us a call — we'll let you know if we can help.

08 / Service area

Where we work.

We work across the Delaware coast, with a 50-mile service radius from Rehoboth Beach. If you're nearby and don't see your town listed, give us a call — we may already be working in your neighborhood.
