"This land overlooking Briggs Marsh has been in my family for years. The goal was to build a house that would take advantage of the great views while fitting well into the landscape. In fact, Tom Arkins and his crew had to overcome the significant challenge of building in an area of stone outcroppings. Tom’s suggestion that we incorporate antique and recycled materials into a modern home created a unique and beautiful result. I am proud to say that the house won a Rhode Island Monthly magazine design award."

"Our farmhouse is 200 years old, and the goal was to update and renovate while preserving the building’s architectural heritage and integrity. The entire Arkins Construction team worked closely with us to 'reveal' antique features that had been hidden as a result of previous renovations. In many ways, our home now looks even older than it did before."

"When we decided to locate our office in an antique barn, we had no idea that the building itself would attract so much attention. Many of our clients comment on the uniqueness and beauty of the building and its surroundings. We have Tom Arkins to thank for working with us to reclaim a wonderful old structure and turn it into a special place in which to do business."

"Our house, built by our family in the 1920s, has beautiful views over Round Pond and has been the site of many wonderful times. However, it needed extensive renovation to serve as a full-time retirement home. Tom Arkins worked closely with our architect to create an addition that satisfies our space needs and looks as if it’s been part of the house forever. The Arkins crew met – or exceeded – our expectations during every phase of the project. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall integrity were superb."
