Garage Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Cranston: cranston offers early 20th-century Colonials, Tudors and Victorians in Edgewood, post-war Capes and ranches in Garden City and Oaklawn, and larger newer homes in Western Cranston. Older eastern neighborhoods often need kitchen and bath reconfiguration to suit modern living, while western homes focus on upscale finishes and additions.
Edgewood and Pawtuxet Village contain older housing where plaster, knob-and-tube wiring and lead paint are common, so demolition and rewiring must be planned carefully. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
