Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Cumberland: cumberland homes range from mill-era houses in Valley Falls, Ashton and Berkeley to 1950s–70s Capes, splits and ranches and larger Colonials around Diamond Hill and Arnold Mills. Kitchen expansions, primary-suite baths and finished basements are among the most requested upgrades.
Sloped lots and ledge in parts of town affect basement and garage work, and many homes from the 1960s and 70s are ready for full mechanical and envelope upgrades. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
