Custom built, every time.

We joke that our slogan should be "we agonize over every doorknob." Because we do. Nothing we design, build, or select is cookie cutter, which makes every decision on every house fresh and new. And it shows. 

From renovations to bottom-up and brand-new builds, Windward Shaw takes pride in every piece of craftsmanship.


Everything. Plus a pool.

West End, Newburyport, Massachusetts

When a busy family of four decides they love their home, but are quickly outgrowing it, they call on us.

By adding a large addition, the square footage jumped from 2100 to 3100 square feet – with nearly every inch of the house renovated or custom built. But it’s not just about more space, it’s about using the space more efficiently. This project included a complete reflow, creating shared spaces for the family and modernizing throughout. 

And that’s just the inside. We turned the backyard into an oasis with a brand-new gunite pool, stone paver patio, deck, and screened-in porch. Their summer family vacation plans? Days in the pool and nights by the fire pit.


Whole house renovation

North End, Newburyport, MAssachusetts

Sometimes you have to tear down walls (and even old, outdated additions) to bring a project together. 

That’s what we’re doing in this single family whole-house renovation, which will add not only 1250 square feet, but also a sense of spaciousness.

We’re modifying the existing first-floor space to create an airy open concept, with an expanded kitchen and living area, new walk-in pantry, new mudroom, and new bathroom.

On the second floor? Every bedroom and every bathroom gets renovated, and we’re adding a new master suite with a walk-in closet and laundry room.
