Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Exeter: exeter's homes are mostly single-family Colonials, ranches and contemporaries on large wooded lots, along with antique farmhouses. Detached garages, outbuildings and spacious kitchens are common project focus areas.
Nearly every property relies on a private well and septic system, and long driveways and wooded lots affect material delivery and site logistics. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
