Coastal Construction Management

About Coastal Construction Management

A February northeaster comes at Portsmouth sideways, off the Sakonnet, and by the time it quits, the stone walls along East Main Road are only soft white ridges with fenceposts for punctuation. Coastal Construction Management works this stretch of Aquidneck Island through the whole turning year — construction management and general contracting, remodeling, historical restoration, and excavation that opens the ground before anything is asked to stand on it — and in winter, snow removal that hands a driveway back to its owner in the blue dark before the commute. There is a plain, physical pleasure in the last pass of a plow: pavement dark and honest again, banks squared off, salt air already going to work on the edges. From Portsmouth down to Newport, the aim is simple enough to say and hard enough to do — leave a place steadier than you found it, a sill made true, a lot cut clean, a lane open on a morning that had no intention of giving one.
