Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Middletown: middletown has post-war ranches and Capes, 1970s–90s Colonials and contemporaries, and coastal homes near Second and Third Beach. Many homes are ready for kitchen, bath and exterior updates, especially rental and military-family properties.
Salt air and wind from the ocean side of the island accelerate wear on siding, windows and decks, so durable exterior materials pay off. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
Permits & Rules in Middletown
- Building permits in Middletown 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.
- Waterfront and low-lying properties in Middletown can fall within FEMA flood zones or Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) jurisdiction, which affects footprints, elevations and materials.
