Serving Providence, Newport, and all of Rhode Island.
A small space with a full home inside it.
An ADU packs a kitchen, bathroom, heating, and electrical into a footprint where every inch counts, and Rhode Island towns each handle the zoning a little differently. We help you figure out what is actually feasible on your lot before you spend money on drawings, then build it.
What this work includes
- Detached ADU construction
- Garage conversions
- Basement and attic apartments
- In-law suites
- Feasibility and zoning guidance
- Full kitchen and bath build-out
No mystery, no runaround.

Verbatim from Google. Nothing edited, nothing invented.
“Ethan took care of every detail, asking QUALITY questions on small details I hadn’t thought of but in the end knew would make a huge difference. … They cleaned up extremely well after each work day which was noticed and appreciated.”
“Shining Armor was quickly available, did a great job, and was very affordable. There was never a problem when we would make a change or addition to our “to do” list.”
“I love my new bathroom — it’s even more beautiful than I imagined it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work to add value to your home.”
