A 2025 Google reviewer had a very tall wooden fence in Newport, built to an intricate design by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, that needed replacing after 20 years without adequate maintenance. That 2025 reviewer said several other contractors declined the project, but Val, the chief honcho at Empire, said it was just their cup of tea, and that the job was done at a very reasonable price. Empire Construction and Design says on its website that it specializes in finish carpentry and historic restoration in Newport, RI, handling trim, doors, built-ins and detailed repair work. It holds 5 stars from 11 ratings on Google. A 2024 customer wrote about a custom fence, praising the design, craftsmanship and attention to detail, and said the team was punctual. A 2024 reviewer wrote of plans to have them finish a basement as well. A 2025 customer said the price was reasonable and that they had already recruited the company for more work.
