My husband and I purchased an old colonial home in Rhode Island the end of 2021. She was built in 1740, so we can actually call her old. Discovering she was a tavern during the American Revolution made it extremely important that we stay true to that time period and equally important, bring her back to her glory. She was in remarkably good shape, but the exterior shingles were worn out and needed to be replaced. The interior is still all original. The floors, doors, windows and blacksmith hardware are all original. Some wood... read more

Unfortunately the siding didn’t hold up well. I couldn’t fully explain the reason for the siding's deterioration or a possible solution and a number of qualified perso... read more

We hired Modern Yankee Builders to design the remodel of our traditional cape after admiring their portfolio of work online. This was an extensive model of the entire ground floor and exterior, including converting the garage to a family room and adding a breezeway to standalone garage. So glad we chose MYB because of Joe Cracco's thoroughness with every aspect of the project. He spent countless hours with us to understand our vision and style so that the final design exceeded all expectations. We relied on Joe throughout th... read more
