The clocks changed yesterday, and it's dark by 4:30.

This is the time of year landscape lighting becomes as useful as it is good-looking. Done well, it adds elegance to the property and keeps the fixtures out of view. You see a lit driveway leading to the house, steps you can see clearly, and a house that looks warm from the road.

Wrapping up the exterior of this waterfront build designed by Hutker Architects on Monomoscoy Island.

Situated between the Great River and the Little River, every material was selected to withstand the salt air while honoring the view—from painted cedar shingles with matching rot-proof vertical shiplap siding and trim in ACRE by .mill to windows.

A shower niche is a small detail that takes a lot of care. It has to be waterproofed, pitched so water runs out, framed, and tiled so the grout lines meet cleanly at every edge.
It's a small thing, but it makes a shower easier to use and easier to keep clean.

Two years ago today we lost Ralph Cataldo – it feels like yesterday. Ralph never met a stranger, and he could tell a story about every job we ever did together.

He built this company on hard work and treating people fairly, and so many of his clients ended up as friends. That's rare in this business, and its still the standard we hold ourselves to.

Every home we build carries a little bit of Ralph. We're proud to keep doing it his way. Thinking of the whole Cataldo family today.

Did you see our feature in Cape Cod HOME’s Summer issue: "The Art of Welcome?"

It isn’t the view people photograph – but it’s the first impression.

There is an art to designing an entrance that feels grounded, intentional, and welcoming.

From custom mahogany arches set into fresh cedar shingles to entrances with custom glass crafted to pull natural light into dark foyers, a front door should be as carefully considered as any room in the house.

Swipe through five distinct front entries we’ve built—from coastal slate blues to rich natural oaks.

Which entry style is your favorite?

Tear it down or bring it back?

For this home, keeping the original footprint, orientation, and classic Cape charm was non-negotiable. Instead of starting over, we rebuilt the porch, brought in a new kitchen featuring a custom soapstone backsplash, and updated and refreshed trim work so it looks like it’s been there forever.

A custom remodel isn't the easy route—it’s actually much harder than a new build. But for some properties, keeping the soul of a place you love is worth it.

How long do you hold out until the last outdoor shower?

An outdoor shower is the most Cape Cod thing we build and the one clients are most surprised we take seriously. Ours get framed, flashed and drained like any other wet space — cedar that silvers instead of rots, a floor that drains to daylight, and a valve that shuts down clean in October and comes back in May without a plumber.

Built right, it's the last thing you use before you close the house up.

Full house tour of one of our recent favorites! A two-story entry with a navy door. A kitchen island that seats eight. A coffered great room that looks straight out at the water. A game room under the eaves.

And every summer resident’s favorite detail - the cedar outdoor shower, tucked into the shingle wall like it was always there.

Up on the roof in North Falmouth with Rob.

That glass in the deck is a skylight, and its job is to pull daylight down into the house below. Up here it also has to handle sun, salt air and a February nor'easter, so the framing, flashing and drainage around it matter as much as the glass.
More from this house all fall.
