and third stories of the house into a half
stor y look ," Ch r is says . " The house is
actually quite large, but from the street
out front and the patio in the rear, it looks
like a much smaller home."
A renovation project in Newbur ypor t,
Massachuset ts was completely g ut ted
and rebuilt from the studs, and brought
back to its original costal New England
self but with fully updated mechanicals
and code-compliant improvements. The
home features an enchanting eyebrow
porch and dormers. " Like many of our
renovation projects, this one presented
many intricate replications, including the
existing moldings , which were accom-
plished in our millwork shop."
To CM Ragusa Builders, the question
shouldn't be, "Can you do it? " but rather,
" When can you get started? "
