Garage Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Johnston: johnston has many post-war Capes, raised ranches and split-levels, along with older homes in Thornton and Graniteville and newer construction in the western part of town. Raised ranches here are frequently updated with open kitchens and finished lower levels.
Many 1950s–70s homes still have original windows, siding and electrical service, so interior remodels often pair well with exterior and mechanical upgrades. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
Permits & Rules in Johnston
- Building permits in Johnston 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.
