Garage Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Foster: foster has many antique Colonial farmhouses, capes with post-and-beam framing, and newer homes on large lots. Renovating antique houses often means leveling floors, reinforcing old framing and bringing utilities up to code while keeping historic character.
Rural lots with wells, septic and long winters make insulation, heating efficiency and durable exterior finishes high priorities. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
