Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Glocester: glocester has 18th- and 19th-century homes in Chepachet Village, rural Colonials and capes, and lakefront homes around Smith and Sayles Reservoir and Waterman Lake. Lake cottages being converted to year-round living are common projects.
Most properties use wells and septic, and lakefront work may need setbacks and erosion controls, so planning ahead with permits is important. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
