Toensing Construction serves Jamestown homeowners on Conanicut Island with bathroom remodels, custom decks, outdoor showers, and whole-home renovations. Island living deserves craftsmanship that lasts.
Request an EstimateJamestown sits on Conanicut Island in the middle of Narragansett Bay, connected to the mainland by the Jamestown-Verrazzano Bridge and to Newport by the Pell Bridge. It is a community of waterfront properties, historic farmhouses, and summer cottages that have become year-round homes, and the remodeling needs here are as diverse as the homes themselves.
Toensing Construction designs and builds remodeling projects tailored to island life: outdoor showers that can stand up to salt air, decks and porches built with materials that hold up through coastal winters, bathroom renovations designed for homes that see both summer guests and winter storms. We bring the same precision and care to every Jamestown project we take on.
We are based in Warren, an easy drive over the Jamestown bridge. No travel markups, responsive communication, and a contractor who shows up when they say they will.
Jamestown occupies Conanicut Island between Newport and the mainland, with a walkable village center, the shoreline areas near Beavertail and the East and West ferry landings, and a mix of historic homes, classic summer cottages, and newer coastal construction. Island homes face wind, salt air, and weather, so durable, well-built work is essential. We bring careful carpentry and finish work to Jamestown's older homes and its waterfront properties alike.
Jamestown's entire identity is tied to the water — Beavertail Light, at the island's southern tip, has marked the entrance to Narragansett Bay since 1749 (the current granite tower dates to 1856), and that same shoreline exposure means most near-water projects here involve coastal setbacks, RI CRMC review, and flood-zone requirements. Many homes outside the village also rely on private wells and septic, which factors into additions. We account for those conditions early and coordinate with the Jamestown building department so permitting and construction stay on schedule.
Jamestown kitchens come with a logistics problem mainland jobs do not have. Everything crosses a bridge, and a missing filler strip or a wrong-handed hinge is not a ten-minute errand, so we order complete and stage materials on site before demolition rather than working out of the back of a truck. The houses split two ways: historic farmhouses near the village, where the kitchen was fitted into a building that predates it, and summer cottages that became year-round homes without ever getting the insulation or the electrical service to match. See our kitchen remodeling in Rhode Island page for scopes, published price ranges, and the full process.
