Kitchen Remodel Before & After — Local Know-How
The "before" we see most in East Providence: east Providence has Colonial Revival and Victorian homes in Rumford, bungalows and Capes in Riverside and Kent Heights, and a large share of post-war single-family homes. Many houses still have their original small kitchens and single bathrooms, making them ideal remodeling candidates.
Riverside's bay-front streets face wind and moisture exposure, while older homes throughout the city frequently need lead-safe renovation and electrical updates. Planning for these conditions from the start is what makes the "after" last.
Permits & Rules in East Providence
- Building permits in East Providence 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 East Providence can fall within FEMA flood zones or Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) jurisdiction, which affects footprints, elevations and materials.
