Bathroom Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Newport: newport has one of the largest concentrations of colonial homes in the country on The Point and Historic Hill, Victorian and shingle-style houses along Kay-Catherine, Gilded Age estates on Bellevue Avenue and Ocean Drive, and dense multi-family homes in the Fifth Ward and Broadway area.
Exterior work inside Newport's local historic district generally requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Commission, and harbor-front properties face salt, wind and flood exposure. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
Permits & Rules in Newport
- Building permits in Newport are issued by the town's building official under the Rhode Island State Building Code — we prepare the applications and schedule every inspection.
- Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, so renovation that disturbs painted surfaces follows Rhode Island and EPA lead-safe work practices.
- Parts of Newport include historic districts or historic properties where exterior changes such as siding, windows and doors may require local review before work begins.
- Waterfront and low-lying properties in Newport can fall within FEMA flood zones or Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) jurisdiction, which affects footprints, elevations and materials.
