Kitchen remodeling and layout upgrades

Kitchen remodels are where function matters as much as finishes. We help you think through workflow, storage, lighting, ventilation, and the details that make the space feel intentional. Whether you are keeping a similar footprint or reworking the layout, we focus on clean execution and trim details that elevate the final look.

Bathroom remodeling and practical durability

Bathrooms in Rhode Island need good ventilation, water management, and materials that stand up to daily use. We build bathrooms that feel calm and well finished, with careful tile work coordination, clean transitions, and thoughtful placement of niches, lighting, and accessories.

Home additions and expansion projects

When your home needs more space, an addition can be the right long term solution. Home additions in Rhode Island often come with structural considerations, tie in details, and exterior matching. We help you plan an addition that feels like it belongs, not something tacked on. This can include bedroom expansions, family rooms, mudrooms, and other space additions that support how you actually live.

Whole home renovations and phased remodeling

Many clients are balancing priorities. Some want to renovate the whole home, while others prefer a phased approach that keeps life moving. We can help you plan a sequence that makes sense, starting with what has the biggest impact and moving through the home with a clear timeline and decision schedule.

Custom carpentry and finish work

A carpentry contractor in Rhode Island needs to understand both structure and detail. Custom trim, built ins, stair details, and architectural woodwork can transform a space. We prioritize craftsmanship that looks clean up close, with crisp lines, consistent reveals, and thoughtful material selection.

What this service includes

A good general contractor does more than build. You need someone who can plan, communicate, and coordinate the work in a way that protects your home and your time.

Typical scope support includes:

• Site visit and project discovery to understand goals and constraints

• Budget alignment and scope clarification so the plan matches reality

• Scheduling and coordination of trades and deliveries

Common reasons homeowners choose a general contractor

• Your home has age related quirks that require experience
