Bathroom Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Providence: 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. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
Permits & Rules in Providence
- Building permits in Providence 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 Providence 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 Providence can fall within FEMA flood zones or Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) jurisdiction, which affects footprints, elevations and materials.
