3. One of the recent projects completed by Tate
Builders involved a 2,000-square-foot home on
the rocks overlooking Vineyard Sound, scarcely
a dozen feet from the water. Designed by
Thomas Tate, the house includes some of the
company's most detailed work, such as custom-
built hand railings, cabinetry, windows, and
doors. Tate Builders selected primarily recycled
and antique materials for the job. Building the
home also involved an impressive array of
custom stonework that required nearly a year to
complete.
