Bathroom Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in North Smithfield: north Smithfield includes historic mill houses in Slatersville and Forestdale, rural Colonials and farmhouses, and newer suburban homes. Larger lots make garage additions and expansions popular.
Many homes use private wells and septic systems, and historic mill-village homes often require structural upgrades during renovation. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
