Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Central Falls: central Falls is dominated by two- and three-family homes, classic New England triple-deckers and converted mill buildings, most built before 1940. Owner-occupied multifamily properties are common, so many projects involve updating one unit at a time.
Most homes here pre-date 1978, so lead-safe work practices are required for renovation that disturbs painted surfaces, and multifamily work must respect fire separation and egress rules between units. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
Permits & Rules in Central Falls
- Building permits in Central Falls 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.
