Home Renovation for Charlestown Homes
Charlestown is a South County shoreline town of barrier beaches, salt ponds and open space, with a large seasonal population.
Charlestown has a mix of beach cottages, shingle-style summer homes, year-round ranches and newer custom homes set back from the salt ponds. Many former summer cottages are being converted into full-time residences that need insulation, updated kitchens and modern baths.
Properties near the shoreline and salt ponds may fall under Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) jurisdiction and FEMA flood zones, which affect footprint changes, elevation and exterior materials.
