Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Richmond: richmond homes include village houses in Wyoming and Carolina, rural Colonials, capes and ranches, and newer homes on large lots. Expanding kitchens and garages is common.
Almost all properties rely on private wells and septic systems, which must be considered when adding bathrooms or expanding living space. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
