Kitchen Remodeler in Cumberland RI

Cumberland has a longer history than most people realize. The Blackstone Canal — completed in 1828 to carry goods from the mills of Worcester, Massachusetts down the river valley to Providence's port — ran directly through Cumberland. It was one of the great infrastructure projects of its era: forty-five miles of hand-dug canal, forty-nine locks, built in three years by Irish immigrants who arrived specifically to build it.

The older homes in Cumberland's river valley neighborhoods carry that history. 19th-century farmhouses and village houses built before the triple-decker era arrived. Homes from the 1840s and 1850s that predate the peak mill construction period and were built to a standard that reflected the agricultural and commercial character of the valley before industry consumed it. When we work in these homes, the kitchen conditions are different from a Pawtucket triple-decker — more space, often better original construction, but the same plaster walls and original plumbing that pre-war construction universally presents.

Northern Cumberland, away from the river valley and toward the Massachusetts line, is suburban development from the postwar decades: Colonials and ranches on streets that filled in as families moved north out of Pawtucket and Central Falls seeking more space. These homes have their own kitchen renovation profile — original 1960s and 1970s kitchens that are functional but dated and ready to be transformed.

We work throughout Cumberland. The older homes near the canal route and the newer suburban homes further out. One crew, one standard.
