Tides Construction is a full-service construction and real estate company based in coastal Newport, Rhode Island. We specialize in custom modular homes, renovations, and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), with a focus on thoughtful design, efficient execution, and high-quality craftsmanship tailored to the unique needs of coastal living.

We bring together innovative building practices, decades of hands-on experience, and deep local knowledge. Our modular homes offer a modern, customizable, and time-efficient alternative to traditional construction, ideal for homeowners creating a primary residence, vacation home, or investment property. From design through delivery, we guide clients through every step, helping navigate permitting, zoning, and other regulatory hurdles to ensure a smooth, stress-free process.

In addition to new construction, we offer renovation services for both historic and contemporary homes. Whether it’s a full remodel or a targeted upgrade (kitchen, bath, or beyond), we help enhance functionality while preserving each property’s character and charm. We also specialize in building ADUs, which are increasingly in demand as guest houses, in-law suites, rental units, or work-from-home studios.

Our services extend beyond construction. We manage a portfolio of short- and long-term rentals throughout Newport County, offering full-service property management and investment support. Our hands-on approach and deep market expertise help ensure high occupancy, excellent guest experiences, and strong returns. As a licensed Rhode Island Realtor, we also assist clients in buying, selling, or investing in Rhode Island real estate, providing end-to-end support from acquisition through build-out and beyond.

We’ve built our business on relationships, transparency, and a shared love for coastal living. Whether you’re building, renovating, investing, or renting, we bring a deep understanding of Newport’s architecture, permitting landscape, and lifestyle to every project.

Let’s build something beautiful together.
