Another episode of Builders in Trucks Drinking Coffee, this time in Portsmouth.

Brad stopped by The Getty Bagel on Islington Street, the old Getty gas station that’s been turned into a bagel and coffee shop.

Good bagels, good coffee, garage doors open in the summer—very cool spot.

Everybody knows the rule: one sip.

Except this time, it was not our coffee order.

A quick check-in on the Exeter addition.

The main work is paused for the moment while the homeowners are away, but we were able to leave the project in a good spot before they left.

There are still a few small things we can do to help keep things moving, like getting the countertops templated. Getting that step done now helps keep the project moving and on track.

Drafty rooms. Damp basements. Uneven temperatures. High energy bills.

In Seacoast homes, those issues are often connected, and the most effective solution is not always the most obvious one.

Another episode of Builders in Trucks Drinking Coffee, this time with a story from Brad’s recent trip to Paris.

While he was there with his family, they had the chance to attend Mass at Notre-Dame. After everything that building has been through, seeing it restored was something special.

What stood out most was the recognition given to the craftsmen who helped put it back together — the carpenters, stonemasons, artists, and everyone whose work brought that space back to life.

A good reminder that behind every finished building, there are people who know their craft and take pride in doing the work well.

Brad is back in the truck, and this episode comes with a pretty special update.

While he was away in Europe with his family, the team hit a big milestone at the Northwood Lake home. For the first time, we closed, received the certificate of occupancy, and had a customer move into a new home we built.

The homeowners are loving it, and we’re wishing them many happy years there.

A big thank you to the Oxland team who kept everything moving, especially Kate on the project management side and Matt with our field staff. It is a good feeling to be able to step away and know the work is in good hands.

Moving is not always the best answer.

Brad’s back.

After a couple weeks in Europe with his family, we’re back in the truck and back to the usual coffee decisions.

He did find a Dunkin’ Donuts in Amsterdam, but the cappuccinos and continental breakfasts made quite an impression too.

Anyway, Builders in Trucks Drinking Coffee continues.

A lot of renovation conversations start with some version of, “We love our home, but…”

The kitchen feels cut off. The entryway doesn’t work well. The backyard is hard to access. The house needs more usable space, or there are older issues that have been waiting for the right time to address.

Those are the kinds of things that often shape a remodel or addition. It’s not always about changing everything. Sometimes it’s about looking at the home carefully and figuring out what needs to work better for the people living there now.

That’s where thoughtful planning makes a difference.
