Episode Overview
Host Kevin O'Connor discovers general contractor Tom Silva working in the backyard, getting ready to set the footings for new porch columns. Landscape contractor Roger Cook enlists civil engineer Mike Kosmo to conduct a perk test, crucial for the landscaping project. To explore design inspiration, architect Treff LaFleche takes Kevin on a tour of a stunning Shingle-style home he renovated and sold three years prior. This early 1900s residence boasts a sweeping wrap-around porch, an impressive entry hall, and a cozy inglenook, along with an updated open kitchen and family room that harmonize with the rest of the space. Meanwhile, Roger supervises certified arborist Matt Foti as he and his crew use a crane to remove a decaying red maple from the side yard.
