We have had an absolutely first-class experience with Colonial Reproductions. The quality of the construction is extremely high and they operate with a service-oriented approach to delivering projects, which is refreshing. Whenever an issue arises, which invariably happens in a construction project, Colonial is there with a balanced approach and a proposed solution. We would recommend them without hesitation.


CHRISTINE + JEFF, EDGARTOWN, MA

Norman and his staff were efficient from the start and very pleasant to work with. We were informed of dates and expectations. 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 and updates of progress, and the project was completed ahead of schedule. Beautiful work. We are planning to use them again.

Norman Rankow and Colonial Reproductions did an outstanding job renovating our summer home on Martha’s Vineyard. Since we live in Dallas, Texas, we needed a builder we could trust and rely on to get the project completed without our supervision. The team’s attention to detail and quality of work exceeded our expectations and produced a special place our family will enjoy for many generations to come.


BETSY + DAN, EDGARTOWN

We have known Norman Rankow and his team for over 18 years and have used them 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.

I was warned that building a house on Martha’s Vineyard would be a nightmare. My experience with Colonial Reproductions and Norman Rankow was anything but. The quality of the job was great and they were easy to deal with. Our house was completed on time and within 1% of budget. I would definitely work with them again.

A good friend referred me to Norman Rankow and his team at Colonial Reproductions, Inc. I feel he is extremely talented and the most sensational builder on the Vineyard. I am wondrously happy with our newly renovated project. Truly a success story!

Patrick Ahearn, Architect

We have a passion for historic architecture. It fits so beautifully on Martha’s Vineyard. That’s why we are so pleased when our clients choose to work with Norman Rankow and Colonial Reproductions, Inc. We know their love for perfecting every detail will help make our vision a reality.


Jill Coyle, Engineer

Norman Rankow and the entire Colonial Reproductions team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the process of managing a construction project while off-island extremely easy and efficient, resulting in a beautiful finished product! It’s comforting to know that someone is making the right decisions when you can’t be there.

Colonial architecture, with its timeless elegance and historical significance, has been a defining style in America since the early settlements. On Martha’s Vineyard, Colonial Reproductions, in partnership with renowned architect Patrick Ahearn, brings this classic style to life.
