Home Renovation for Providence Homes
Providence is Rhode Island's capital and largest city, with historic neighborhoods, universities and some of the finest 18th- and 19th-century architecture in New England.
Providence has Colonial and Federal homes on College Hill, Victorian and Queen Anne houses in the Armory and Elmwood, early 20th-century Colonials and Tudors in Elmhurst and Blackstone, and thousands of two- and three-family homes. Renovations range from careful historic restorations to modern kitchen and bath remodels.
Properties in local historic districts require review by the Providence Historic District Commission for exterior changes, and older homes commonly need lead-safe practices and updated mechanicals.
