Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Jamestown: jamestown features shingle-style summer homes, Victorian cottages in Shoreby Hill, mid-century houses at Jamestown Shores and high-end waterfront properties. Island homes frequently get full renovations that balance modern comfort with coastal New England character.
Island logistics, CRMC coastal jurisdiction, strict water use and constant salt exposure all influence material choice, scheduling and exterior detailing. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.

- Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, so renovation that disturbs painted surfaces follows Rhode Island and EPA lead-safe work practices.
- Parts of Jamestown include historic districts or historic properties where exterior changes such as siding, windows and doors may require local review before work begins.
