Toensing Construction serves East Providence homeowners with bathroom remodels, basement finishing, custom built-ins, and more. Quality craftsmanship from a contractor that treats your home like their own.
Request an EstimateEast Providence is a thriving community right across the Providence River from downtown, with a rich mix of older colonials, capes, and ranch homes that represent decades of New England residential history. Many of these homes are well-built and just need updating, and that is exactly what Toensing Construction specializes in.
From bathroom renovations that make older tile work a thing of the past, to finished basements that add real living space, to custom built-ins that put unused wall space to work, we design and build remodeling projects that make East Providence homes more livable and more valuable. Every project is handled personally, with the same care we would give our own homes.
We are based in Warren and serve East Providence as part of our greater Providence area service territory. Our small crew size means you get consistent quality and direct communication throughout your project.
East Providence runs along the Seekonk River and Narragansett Bay, with established neighborhoods like Riverside, Rumford, Kent Heights, and Watchemoket and waterfront areas near Bullocks Point and the old Crescent Park shoreline. Its homes are largely early-twentieth-century colonials, capes, and bungalows, which often call for updated kitchens and baths, finished basements, and additions that work within their original footprints. We bring detail-focused carpentry to these solid, character-rich homes.
Because East Providence grew up along the Seekonk River and Narragansett Bay, plenty of its housing stock — especially in Riverside, once a summer cottage colony built around the old Crescent Park amusement park, and in the waterfront pockets of Phillipsdale near the former Washburn Wire Company mills — sits on low-lying or shorefront parcels where FEMA flood zone maps and coastal jurisdiction affect additions, lower-level finishing, and exterior work. We factor those requirements into the plan from day one and coordinate permitting directly with the East Providence building department so the project keeps moving instead of stalling in review.
East Providence kitchens divide along the same line the city does. In Rumford and Kent Heights, the early-1900s colonials and capes put the kitchen at the back with a pantry beside it, and the cleanest gain almost always comes from absorbing that pantry rather than pushing an exterior wall out. In Riverside, where much of the housing started as summer cottages around the old Crescent Park, kitchens were added to buildings that were never framed for year-round use, so we open the floor and look before quoting finishes. See our kitchen remodeling in Rhode Island page for scopes, published price ranges, and the full process.
