  • Mark McCullough explains cobblestone aprons. The crew reinforces floor joists. Tom Silva and Jeff Sweenor install a drop finial and a swinging window. Kevin O'Connor meets with paint experts.

    The homeowners have opted for a crushed stone driveway for permeability, but they would like to upgrade it with a more elegant touch. Kevin O’Connor finds Mark McCullough and the masonry crew out front with a pile of cobblestones to be used for aprons and edging.
    Inside, the floor joists on the second floor of the old house had several problems, not the least of which was the fact that they were under sized. Over the summer Jeff Sweenor’s crew spent a lot of time giving them reinforcement. Jeff gives Kevin a rundown of what happened.
    The Queen Anne features on the entire house are worth saving, and the drop finial on the corner of the second floor is a quintessential example. Tom Silva finds Jeff installing one.
    The homeowners love to entertain outside, so they designed a cabana at the back of the garage that opens to the back yard. Tommy and Jeff install a special lift so the cabana window swings up easily.
    A Victorian house screams “Look At Me” in both trim and paint color, and this house is no exception. Kevin meets with local paint expert Harry Adler and exterior painter Mike Moffitt and to discuss the importance of putting effort into selecting colors to celebrate the architectural details.

    Sweenor builders and Moffitt painting, two of the most expensive contractors in RI, but they have their demographic customer base locked in - the millionaires who don’t care about cost, just get it done. I got 5 quotes to paint my house, all 7-8500k, Moffitt was 16,2k…I can’t imagine what the cost for this project was. I personally didn’t hire the cheapest and definitely didn’t hire Moffitt, paid about 8k and the company did a great job, now I just maintain it.

      Yes, it seems it went "down" in the last couple of years or so before they bought it. On the other hand, it was nice to look at (if you check the view from previous years) with all those trees and bushes.
      Funny enought, on satellite view it's already finished.

    Watching the painting and wondering what type or brand of paint brushes are being used. I can’t find a decent brush that one can “feather” the paint into a fine line. Brushes these days just blow out every direction and lose bristles in the paint. Trying to find boar or camel hair is impossible. Love to know where to get quality paint brushes.

      @@AncientAli3n777 You are a bot but i will respond anyway. You wear a respirator when spray painting, not on a ladder painting trim with a brush, nor with a paper mask halfway on your face which does absolutely nothing for germs or fine particles or chemical vapors. If wearing a mask is standard while working construction, why isn't Tom Silva ever wearing one? You are a true believer I see so nothing is going to convince you.

    I don’t see the point of this remodel, keeping existing material, not any of it. Leveling a house worth of old lumber, then sistering it all with a bunch of ripped 2x6? Enormous cost. Why? To preserve some old unseen lumber inside the walls and ceiling?
    This entire house could have been demo’s to the ground in a day, new foundation dug in a day. New foundation and basement walls formed up and poured in three days. The entire original Queen Ann floor plan, if that’s what you want, could have been built w new modern material up to the roof and house wrap in three weeks. Then add all the trim details, but none of that needs w 120 yr old material.
