Yes, copper gutters and rain chains move water, but they also bring movement to the design. On this Metrowest project, that warm copper detail draws the eye along the roofline and adds a beautiful finishing touch.

This may not be the room guests ask about, but it’s one of the most important spaces in the home. By keeping the mechanical room clean, organized, and accessible, we’re setting the home up for smarter maintenance and better long-term function.

Every fortress needs a roof built for the long haul. This one brings together 7,000+ square feet of slate, copper gutters with twisted bar hangers, snow guards, and detailed flashing to create a roof system that’s strong, timeless, and ready for the next century.

Let’s talk Siga, baby!! Not the flashiest part of the build—but one of the most important.
We’re using Fentrim tape to fully air seal this @themarvinbrand Infinity window into the rough opening. In a space like a shower, that airtight seal matters—performance, durability, and no surprises down the line. We use this stuff all the time for a reason! @siga_north_america

You’d never know where the original house ends and the addition begins. That was the goal with this Hingham project—and it all comes down to the details. Matching proportions, thoughtful design, and a lot of coordination behind the scenes to make it feel effortless.

The finish is only as good as what’s behind it. This plywood install in the media room is all about creating a solid base for the fabric panels to come—glued, screwed, and locked in place so nothing shifts over time.
You won’t see it—but you’ll notice if it’s not done right!

You don’t even have to look—you can feel it. Restoring original woodwork like this takes time. Sanding, filling, and refining every surface until it’s smooth, consistent, and ready for finish.

Swipe for a fun surprise! 👀 What looks like traditional paneling along the stair actually opens up to a hidden nook—designed for a little extra function (and a lot of personality).
It’s details like this that make a house feel like home.

Skipping this step is how finishes fail. ❌
Moisture too high? Problem.
pH too high? Problem.
Before priming, we test both—because the goal isn’t just a good finish, it’s one that holds up!

When asked by a potential client what word describes you best? A great question which got me thinking! I believe anyone that works with us may have many answers to this. Have a great weekend all.
Good trim work starts with tight joinery. This casing was custom milled to match the original detail—and assembled with glue, fasteners, and a @lamello_community system to pull everything together tight.
Before it even gets installed, this joint isn’t moving.
