What happens during a full remodel

Your remodel begins with an evaluation of your existing structure and a clear plan for the changes you want to make in your Harrisville home. The team assesses load points, foundation conditions, and how walls, floors, and ceilings will be affected by the work. This planning phase includes determining what needs permits, what materials are required, and how long the project will take based on the scope of structural changes involved.

Once work begins, you will notice walls opened up, new framing installed where rooms are being expanded or added, and old materials removed to make way for updated layouts. After framing and structural work are complete, systems such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are updated or relocated to match the new design. You end up with rooms that feel larger, layouts that make more sense, and a home that functions the way you need it to without the limitations of the original floor plan.

The project includes coordination with inspectors to ensure all work meets Rhode Island building codes. NLD Construction has over two decades of experience upgrading older homes, so the crew knows how to work around surprises that come with opening up walls in homes built in the mid-20th century. The result is a home that feels new in the ways that matter most, with improvements built to last and support how you actually use the space.
