Construction work and television production started on the new project in Narragansett, RI, but Covid put a halt to TV and placed restrictions on building. Five months later, we pick up where we left off with our 1887 Queen Anne Victorian.
Kevin O’Connor, Richard Trethewey and Tom Silva set the stage for the restoration efforts. The house has been standing prominently in Narragansett for over a century, but it’s a shadow of its former self. Kevin goes back in time to when he found Jeff Sweenor in the front yard and they took a look at the exterior.
The homeowners, Michael and Kassiane, were excited about renovating a historic home in this oceanside community. Kevin met them to hear about their plans to preserve the historic details while updating the interior space for modern living and creating a new wing for a garage and master suite. The first floor of the house was something of a jumbled mess with amazing details, like the 23 light windows with stained glass. Kevin got a tour from Michael and Kassiane. Jeff gave Kevin a tour of the second floor with its unusual bathroom.
Five months after that original tour, Jeff has made good progress on the new wing. Tom gets a tour of the garage, master suite and mudroom.
The basement was a dirt crawl space with five foot headroom. Kevin finds Richard down there and they discuss how the crew dug out the space and poured a slab to create a mechanical room.
There is plenty of work left to do on this Queen Anne Narragansett project, including extensive hardscaping. Jeff talks about the work ahead.

What year was this filmed?
Lib state not for me
Ahh, the shutdown is why the first 4 episodes were best of….glad we got back to work….
He likes “old houses” means we’re rich af and we can afford to upgrade this spot
Why does every season have to be about rich uptight doofuses buying turds of a house by the ocean in uppity historic districts and then basically building an entire new house while calling it a "remodel"?
Watch since day one
How much do the homeowners have to pay for something like this? Does this old house help with the cost?
Sorry guys nowhere in the NORTHEAST is GREAT. It’s disgusting 10 months of the year and the beaches are pathetic.
I don’t understand people sometimes. Spending so much money for such a disgusting neighborhood filled with 150 year old homes that puritans lived in. With a beach that can only be used July and august and that’s brown and frozen no matter how hot it is. JUST go to southern Florida or the Caribbean somewhere and build.
JAWS and Narragansett beer 🍺 🍻
It's nice to see the gang back together again!
So asbestos not an issue?
Nice mask outside, 🤡
