Bathroom Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Block Island (New Shoreham): block Island homes include Victorian-era hotels and cottages around Old Harbor, shingle-style summer houses and newer custom homes across open, windswept land. Island renovations need sturdy, low-maintenance materials that stand up to constant wind and salt.
Every material, fixture and crew member arrives by ferry, so projects require detailed planning, early ordering and realistic scheduling around the island season. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
