Remodel a Nica style home

10 years ago
Curious if anyone has experience upgrading a Nica style home to more modern standards, what the benefits to, and pitfalls of this approach are. I'm not talking McMansions, but a comfortable home with H/C water, A/C, ceiling fans, real doors and windows, a ceiling, etc.
Also wondering about the electrical supply and if people are using battery back-ups with inverters as in much of the developing world and if so are the costs reasonable.
