About 39 Mountain Laurel

39 Mountain Laurel is a new custom home that Fontaine Brothers is building from the ground up in Tiverton, Rhode Island. The home has a covered front porch, an attached garage, and a two-story layout finished in blue siding with white trim.

​

Like every build we take on, this one started with careful planning: a site evaluation, a detailed scope, and a fixed contract price before construction began. Chris Fontaine, a licensed Rhode Island builder (CRLB #19127), is overseeing the project from start to finish. The photos below follow the build so far, and we’ll add finished photos when the home is complete.

Build Highlights

Here is how 39 Mountain Laurel has come together so far.

Foundation walls and footings formed on the cleared lot at 39 Mountain Laurel in Tiverton, RI

1. Site Work & Foundation

We cleared the lot, set the footings, and formed the foundation walls, so the home would sit level and solid.

Two-story home wrapped in green sheathing with window openings framed, ready for dry-in

2. Framing & Dry-In

​The walls, floors, and roof went up, then sheathing and house wrap closed in the structure so interior work could begin.

3. Exterior & Interior

Blue siding, white trim, and the covered porch took shape outside while insulation and framing details inside.
