Home Renovation Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in Smithfield: smithfield includes 1950s–80s ranches, raised ranches and Colonials, mill-village homes in Georgiaville and Esmond, and lakefront homes. Open kitchens, primary bath upgrades and garage improvements are common projects.
Lakefront properties and homes on well and septic need careful planning, and many mid-century homes need exterior and mechanical updates. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
