They will be green again: Old Nugent Farm Monster Exterior Reno Project! 20M+ and scores of condos remodeled all at once #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

Out with the old exterior and in with the new! The Old Nugent Farm condominiums are getting some love in the summer of 2024. There are 70+ (72?) condos and SPS was contracted to take care of each one. The exterior components to be demoed and replaced are all the biggies: Roofs (some with skylights). Siding. Windows. Deck. Chimney repointing. The completion date is expected before the summer of 2025.

A unique construction staging area was tucked away to manage the scale of this project. Besides deliveries and garages, a mini mockup condo model was constructed to test the materials in the field, and problem solve optimum execution and training (such as the flashing performance).

The original great design of the Old Nugent Farm condos, which deferred to nature, will remain. They will be green again. Do you remember before there were condos?

Margarita Monday At Lobsta Land

Posted on by Pat D

Lobsta Land on Causeway St was open for a rare Monday so we jumped on the opportunity to celebrate Margarita Monday there last week. The blackberry margarita was mixed to perfection and was deliciously refreshing. We had a late lunch which included the Fisherman’s platter (holy cow) and a turkey club (“real” turkey!). It was a lovely afternoon celebrating Margarita Monday!
