Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Pawtucket: pawtucket has Victorian and Colonial Revival homes in Oak Hill and Quality Hill, bungalows and capes in Darlington, many two- and three-family homes, and converted mill lofts. Owner-occupied multi-family homes are often renovated unit by unit.
Most of the housing pre-dates 1978, so lead-safe renovation practices, updated electrical service and proper fire separation in multi-family homes are common requirements. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
