Utilizing renewable materials we aim to make, create, and restore history while mitigating our carbon footprint.

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS IN BUSINESS
Our History
How We Started
Tom Arkins was born and raised in County Clare, Ireland, where he began working in construction. After his arrival in the U.S. in 1988 – he spent four years with the Talbot Construction Company in Adamsville, Rhode Island. During this period he took part in a variety of projects, including new construction, additions and historical restoration, and architectural millwork.
The Arkins team has developed into a full service design+build & contracting firm specializing in custom millwork, high-end carpentry, and sustainable design.
Projects begin with careful consideration of our clients’ goals, ideas and needs, and – while we provide guidance and technical expertise – our clients are involved in the full design process to ensure that the final product is true to their intentions.
Ultimately, our aim is to design and build safe and healthy architecture that precisely matches the expectations of the client.
Who We Are
