Planning a major remodel? Cost is only part of the equation.

A project may fit your general budget and still need to change based on the home, property, zoning, structure, or existing conditions. That’s where feasibility comes in.

Our guide explains how cost and feasibility work together and how understanding both can help you make smarter decisions before design gets too far along.

Today, we're heading over to Wibird Street in Portsmouth to check out a project for some returning clients.

On the way, Brad points out another front door Oxland worked on in the neighborhood. As it turns out, that door is what led these clients to give us a call about creating a beautiful front entrance of their own.

There are some great front entrances on classic New England homes, and we always enjoy working on projects that help bring that character to a house.

Always nice when good work leads to more work.

This Rye kitchen had good bones, but it was dark, narrow, and hiding one big unknown inside the walls.

We used our design-build process to rethink the space to bring in more light and improve the view, while planning around a concealed chimney we couldn’t fully measure until demolition.

Back at The Getty Bagel for the taste test. ☕️

The verdict: 8.2.

And the parmesan and pepper bagel was pretty hard to beat too.

If you’re in downtown Portsmouth and looking for a delicious bagel and good coffee, it’s worth a stop!

Another episode of Builders in Trucks Drinking Coffee, this time in Portsmouth.

Brad stopped by The Getty Bagel on Islington Street, the old Getty gas station that’s been turned into a bagel and coffee shop.

Good bagels, good coffee, garage doors open in the summer—very cool spot.

Everybody knows the rule: one sip.

Except this time, it was not our coffee order.

A quick check-in on the Exeter addition.

The main work is paused for the moment while the homeowners are away, but we were able to leave the project in a good spot before they left.

There are still a few small things we can do to help keep things moving, like getting the countertops templated. Getting that step done now helps keep the project moving and on track.

Drafty rooms. Damp basements. Uneven temperatures. High energy bills.

In Seacoast homes, those issues are often connected, and the most effective solution is not always the most obvious one.

Another episode of Builders in Trucks Drinking Coffee, this time with a story from Brad’s recent trip to Paris.

While he was there with his family, they had the chance to attend Mass at Notre-Dame. After everything that building has been through, seeing it restored was something special.

What stood out most was the recognition given to the craftsmen who helped put it back together — the carpenters, stonemasons, artists, and everyone whose work brought that space back to life.

A good reminder that behind every finished building, there are people who know their craft and take pride in doing the work well.
