OUR SPECIALTIES

Custom Building & Historic Restoration
Whether building a new coastal estate or restoring a registered historic landmark, we manage the entire structural lifecycle. We blend modern building science with Old World craftsmanship—preserving the character of the past with the materials of today. From navigating complex zoning requirements to executing intricate structural details, we ensure your home is built to withstand the coastal elements for generations.
-
Fine Interior and Exterior Painting
The durability of your home depends on the quality of its finish. We specialize in high-performance exterior coatings designed to withstand salt air and coastal elements. Inside, we provide museum-quality finishes—including cabinet-grade spraying and fine trim detail. Crucially, we carry EPA Lead-Safe certification, essential for working safely on Stonington and Watch Hill’s antique properties.

Cabinetry and Architectural Millwork
Designed and built in our local shop in Pawcatuck. We create custom kitchens, libraries, and built-ins that fit your space perfectly. We also specialize in replicating historic mouldings and running custom, one-off profiles. By milling our own stock, we ensure every detail matches your home’s specific history—a level of precision that factory suppliers simply cannot match.
