What We Do
Master Architects, Interior Designers, & General Contractors—All Under One Roof.
Many homeowners wonder if they should hire an independent architect, a boutique interior design firm, or a dedicated general contractor for their project. At Red House, you don’t have to choose. We are a premier design-build company composed of specialized, dedicated teams—meaning you get the exact same tier of talent you would from an independent specialist, with the seamless collaboration of an integrated firm.

FAQ's
Should I hire an independent architect, an interior designer, or a design-build firm like Red House?
Traditionally, homeowners had to hire separate architectural design firms, interior designers, and general contractors, which often led to miscommunication and budget overruns. Red House is an integrated design-build company, meaning we house all three disciplines under one roof. Our in-house architects and interior designers possess the same elite talent as standalone boutique firms, while our general contracting team ensures seamless execution. You get the specialized expertise of independent professionals combined with the efficiency, accountability, and cost-control of a single, unified team.
What locations do you serve in Rhode Island and Massachusetts?
Red House Custom Building provides high-end design-build services throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern, MA. We frequently work in the historic neighborhoods of the East Side of Providence, the coastal communities of Barrington, East Greenwich, and North Kingstown, RI, as well as the metro-west suburbs like Needham, MA. Our deep familiarity with local building codes, zoning regulations, and regional architectural styles across RI and MA ensures a smooth, compliant construction process.
Do you have experience with historic home renovations and whole-house remodels?
Yes. Preserving the character of a historic home while updating it for modern living requires specialized general contracting and architectural design expertise. We regularly execute complex historic home restorations, particularly on the East Side of Providence and surrounding coastal areas. Whether you are planning a full-gut historic renovation or a modern whole-house remodel, our team balances meticulous craftsmanship with modern structural engineering and building performance.
What types of residential remodeling projects do you specialize in?
We specialize in large-scale, high-end residential transformations. Our portfolio features luxury kitchen remodels, custom primary suites, seamless home additions, and comprehensive whole-house remodels. Because our architectural design, interior design, and construction teams work hand-in-hand from day one, we are uniquely equipped to handle complex structural changes, custom cabinetry layouts, and high-end finishes that smaller general contractors or independent designers cannot manage alone.
How does your design-build process keep my remodeling project on budget?
When you hire an independent architect or interior designer separate from your general contractor, a design can easily be created that is beautiful but vastly exceeds your construction budget. At Red House, our architects, interior designers, and estimating teams work together from the very first conceptual sketch. We provide real-time cost-feedback throughout the design phase, ensuring that the beautiful home addition, kitchen remodel, or primary suite we design is exactly what we build—on time and on budget.
