Meet The Team
We are a full-service home-building crew with widely ranging skills and backgrounds, tailored to meet the complex needs of our clients and their homes; hopefully also having a little fun along the way.
Modern Heritage builders excel at the art of fine home building in New England, where new and old, antique and contemporary, and high-tech and old school intersect across structures, projects, and goals. Andrew Brewin, Ian Mentasti, and Steve Slade founded Modern Heritage in 2015, with decades of fine home building and design partnership experience between them. The firm was founded on the notion that the client experience could be elevated through the balance of a strong commitment to craftsmanship and efficient, forward-thinking processes and technology. Our in-house staff is composed of highly skilled project managers, carpenters, fine woodworkers, drafters, and design support specialists. Together with our best-in-trade partners across the industry, we deliver creative, comfortable, valuable solutions to every project.
In addition to our ability to work on all styles and scopes of residential construction, framing through fine finishes, we are also working every day to build trust and lasting relationships with our clients. Modern Heritage was created to bring back the art that skilled builders brought to the great homes and estates of New England’s past while operating as a forward-thinking, tech-savvy, 21st-century firm.

“Modern Heritage is one of the best general contractors we’ve worked with. Our collaboration on a solarium addition and renovation needed a team with a high understanding of construction and design.
