Expertise in the
Most Challenging Properties
Coastal and historic properties come with unique challenges—complex permitting, strict regulations, and the delicate balance of preserving character while meeting modern needs. At Hill & Harbor, we’ve built our expertise around these exact complexities, handling every regulatory hurdle so you can focus on the excitement of creating your dream home.
Coastal Homes Engineered to Weather Time & Tide
Building along Rhode Island’s beautiful coast means mastering FEMA flood zone restrictions, CRMC requirements, local zoning rules, septic system approvals and much more. Our team interprets these regulations on your behalf to maximize your build’s potential while maintaining project timelines.
Through thoughtful material selection and construction techniques, every decision serves decades of durability to defy salt air, hurricane-force winds, and relentless moisture commonly affecting coastal homes. Whether you desire a modern coastal aesthetic or traditional New England shingle style, the result is a home that harmonizes with its natural surroundings while standing strong against the elements, without compromising on the beauty that drew you to waterfront living.
Historic Homes for Modern Lives
Transforming a treasured historic property requires artistry, precision, and deep expertise in period architecture. From colonial refinement to Victorian grandeur, we approach each historic renovation project with profound respect for the original design while integrating today’s comforts and technology. Our team sources bespoke elements and period-authentic finishes that harmonize with the home’s character, so additions feel as though they’ve always belonged.
While regulations surrounding historic homes can feel overwhelming, our team navigates the complex approval processes on your behalf, developing plans that align with neighborhood character, building codes, and historic district requirements.
