Bristol County, Rhode Island

Remodeling & Renovation in Bristol, RI

Bristol is a historic harbor town on Narragansett Bay, known for its waterfront, its Federal-era downtown and the oldest continuous Fourth of July celebration in the country.

Bristol's housing stock includes Federal, Greek Revival and Victorian homes in the historic downtown, post-war Capes and ranches in the Highlands and newer waterfront houses on Poppasquash Neck. Older homes often have plaster walls, balloon framing and tight floor plans that benefit from careful, code-compliant opening up.

Exterior changes to properties inside Bristol's local historic district typically require review by the Bristol Historic District Commission, and salt air near the harbor shortens the life of cheap fasteners, trim and siding.
