Colonial Reproductions’ houses are well known for their form and function. Norman has great attention to detail and keeps a project on track, which is very important on Martha’s Vineyard. Since, Summer is the vacation season.

We remain completely satisfied with their work and would not hesitate to recommend them. **Comment from Colonial Reproductions, Inc.:** > Thank you for your review Bill & Pat - we appreciate it very much and hope to see you around town soon! **★★★★★ — martha246, Feb. 2015** > Colonial Reproductions is an independent building contractor,owned by Norman Rankow. He has built two homes for me . My experience with Norman and his employees has been nothing short of exceptional.

Deadlines were met. If we needed to make selections, the staff gave us a heads-up and suggested several options which was invaluable since we were doing this remodel from a distance. They provided us with pictures, updates of progress, and the project was completed ahead of schedule. Beautiful work. We are planning to use them again. **Comment from Colonial Reproductions, Inc.:** > Thank you Christine & Jeff we appreciate your trust in us to work on your project while you were so far away. We hope to see you around town this summer! **★★★★★ — betsypfau, Feb. 2015** > We have known Norman Rankow and his team for over 18 years, and used him on countless projects on our 1829 historic Edgartown home. He and his team have always delivered the highest quality product which we are proud to display. They are responsive if we have problems and we return to them time and again when we have needs. Indeed, they are now close friends. Through a variety of projects, we have renovated the house from top to bottom including bathrooms, kitchen, adding HVAC, building out a usable third floor and other customized features. The house has been on house tours and was once featured in a design magazine. **Comment from Colonial Reproductions, Inc.:** > Thank you for your review Betsy- we appreciate it very much and hope to see you around town this summer! **★★★★★ — aheyward, Feb. 2015** > We hired Norman Rankow and his accomplished team at Colonial Reproduction to build a new home for us on Martha's Vineyard. The experience could not have been more positive, or gone more smoothly. We couldn't be happier. Despite the almost 3,000 miles between us, and this new construction, Norman and the team kept us informed with regular updates, photos, videos every step of the way. The project was completed under budget and they made extra effort to complete it months ahead of schedule which allowed us to enjoy our first summer in the house, instead of the scheduled Oct move-in. Through the process, we became and remain friends, and whenever an issue arises (though we've never had anything serious...they did a rock-solid job), Colonial is always an easy phone call away to fix any problems that come up. They're great people. They're great builders. And they are a pleasure to work with. We LOVE the house they built for us, and remain grateful to Colonial for creating our dream home. **Comment from Colonial Reproductions, Inc.:** > Thank you A2 for having the confidence in our team with your build from afar. We enjoyed working with both of you and always look forward to your summer/fall visits! ## Selected projects - [Join Us In Celebrating 40 Years](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/join-us-in-celebrating-40-years-pj-vj~2820036) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 3 - [31 South Water Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/31-south-water-street-pj-vj~290276) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 21 - Description: This 1860's vintage captain's home sits along the harbor in the charming historic district of Edgartown. - [Captains House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/captains-house-pj-vj~934714) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 17 - Description: Colonial blue shutters and beautifully flowered window boxes highlight the stark white siding on this historic property - [Faulkner Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/faulkner-drive-pj-vj~2171752) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 25 - [Historic Water Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-water-street-pj-vj~2172221) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 18 - [Outer Harbor Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outer-harbor-residence-pj-vj~942466) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 11 - Description: This Martha's Vineyard waterfront home boasts spectacular coastal views of the nearby harbor. - [Katama Bay Compound](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/katama-bay-compound-pj-vj~950987) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 20 - Description: This New England style home, situated on Katama Bay, Martha's Vineyard, offers coastal design features highlighted with historic details. - [Squibnocket](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/squibnocket-pj-vj~2172330) - Location: Chilmark, MA - Photos: 15 - [Herring Creek Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/herring-creek-farmhouse-pj-vj~1223023) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 10 - Description: This New England style home blends the look of a modern farmhouse with a coastal appeal - [Flip Flop](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flip-flop-pj-vj~2171989) - Location: Aquinnah, MA - Photos: 18 - [Barn at Field Club](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barn-at-field-club-pj-vj~2171672) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 16 - [Harbor Restoration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harbor-restoration-pj-vj~950659) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 8 - Description: This colonial style home is nestled on the quaint streets of downtown Edgartown, on the historic island of Martha's Vineyard. - [West Chop Waterfront](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-chop-waterfront-pj-vj~942660) - Location: Tisbury, MA - Photos: 4 - Description: This waterfront home sits on the shores of Martha's Vineyard overlooking a spectacular coastal landscape. - [South Beach Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-beach-retreat-pj-vj~1208907) - Location: Edgartown, MA - Photos: 10 - Description: This spectacular waterfront home boasts expansive views of South Beach, Martha's Vineyard.
