**★★★★★ — Henry Mallari-D’Auria, Dec. 2020**

> I really can’t say enough about how happy I am with the work that Ralph and his team put into the renovation of my home.  My 25 year old house needed updating to make the space fit with modern living and expand the number of bedrooms for a big family. Mackin helped me understand the possibilities, offered me just enough options and the result was better than I could have ever imagined.  The space works incredibly well and the high quality details are beautiful. Ralph was great in setting my expectations on the time to complete the project and helped me select a contractor who could deliver on time.

**★★★★★ — Kathleen Walsh Interiors, LLC, Feb. 2017**

> Ralph Mackin and his firm have an impeccable eye for detail, never let a detail go out of place and are a privilege to work with. I've decorated 2 houses that he had designed and am working on another and am constantly impressed at his sensitivity to site planning, his choice of materials and that no project ever looks the same. I recommend Ralph and his team without hesitation and look forward to working with them for years to come.

**★★★★★ — Summit Woodworkers LLC, Feb. 2017**

> I have had the pleasure of working With Ralph on several projects in the last few years and as a cabinet maker I can say that his attention to detail and ease to work with is second to none

  - Description: “The current owners affectionately call their twice-expanded lakeside home “a Jekyll and Hyde house.” From the street, it still strongly resembles the weekend home built in 1937, which was a replica of one the builder’s wife fell in love with on their Cape Cod honeymoon. It retains the cottage feel that is appropriate for the site and surroundings." - from South Salem Renovation by Janice Gibson, The HOME Monthly - October 2007

The home’s second story is in the roofline of the Dutch roof, giving it an approachable scale. This with wrap a…

The residence is in the Shingle Style, with a touch of Colonial Revival symmetry and porch detailing. It is subtle yet majestic, with 11 foot high ceilings and deep wrap around porches.

It is wrapped in cedar shingles curving gently around arches, complemented by a dark green trim, anchoring the home to the landscape. The lot being longer than wide, required the architecture to be the same.
