Home Additions
Tight lot? Historic district? Zoning challenges? Boston properties present unique constraints. We specialize in maximizing buildable space while navigating complex regulations. Strategic additions create room for growing families without leaving the neighborhood you love.
Seamless architectural integration separates quality additions from obvious tack-ons. We match rooflines, replicate trim details, coordinate siding and windows. The result? You can't tell what's new versus original. Our team designs additions honoring Boston's diverse architecture: Victorian brownstones, Federal row houses, Colonial revivals, contemporary condos.
Popular addition types for Boston properties:
Vertical expansions on narrow lots
Primary suite additions with spa baths
First-floor extensions for open-concept living
Roof deck additions with city views
Mudroom and entryway expansions
We're experts at Boston's zoning ordinances, setback requirements, and historic district guidelines. Foundation work on challenging sites? Handled. Structural engineering for multi-story additions? Coordinated. Neighbor notification and board approvals? Managed. HVAC and electrical integration? Standard. Our design-build process means one team handles permits through final inspection.
Urban additions require technical expertise and regulatory knowledge. We deliver both.
