NEWPORT COTTAGE
This late 1800’s waterfront property needed a facelift. The roof received a full strip with a ½” plywood decking layover. Along with the new roof, we stripped and resided the house with red cedar shingles. The customer chose to use a vapor barrier and cedar breather underlayment. The cedar breather allows the natural cedar to breathe and equalize, extending the life span of the shingles and allowing the vapor barrier to better do its job.

EDGEWOOD BASEMENT
The customer wanted a finished basement as a play space for their active children. We worked with the moisture remeadiation contractor to design a moisture management system PRIOR to any remodeling. New windows, finished walls, floor and drop ceiling were installed. With attention to moisture management system access ports and the customer’s growing needs, we created a beautiful and much appreciated space.

NEWPORT COLONIAL COTTAGE
Newport’s lower fifth ward is lined with homes built in the mid to late 1800’s. This house (one of 5 exact replicas on the same street) needed a major overhaul. Although built with skill and craftsmanship, 100 years of neglect was getting the better of the home and it’s owners. The Home received a new roof (decking and shingles) and a new chimney. The leaking roof had destroyed all soffets and crowns. All soffets, crowns, fascia, frieze boards and water boards were replaced. Even the wooden gutters were rotten and replaced. The porch had no footings and was sinking in the dirt while pulling away from the house. Consequently, the porch had to be rebuilt starting with new concrete footings. Most of the siding was replaced. All windows were stripped, treated and restored.

NEWPORT OCEAN DRIVE
This 60’s era Cape has a unique location, nearly surrounded by Atlantic Ocean. All the Trim, Fascia, and Soffits had rotted. The customer also needed 10 new windows that met the rigid requirements for coastal insurance coverage. We were able to install Andersen coastal windows with Stormwatch protection to meet the insurance provider’s recommendations. We also utilized factory dipped White cedar Shakes. To further provide a Low maintenance exterior, All the trim, Fascia, Moldings, and Soffits were constructed using AZEK. This customer will never have to paint our work.

WAKEFIELD CAPE
T-111 Siding. If you’ve heard of it, you haven’t heard anything good. Plywood, as it has turned out, is not a good material for exterior or exposed applications. The gable ends had been sided with T-111 plywood, and true to form, the siding had expired. We replaced the T-111 with James Hardie Concrete fiber siding. We were able to replicate (exactly) the look and feel of the T-111 siding. Same 60’s look and style with durability and Low maintenance.
