Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Dover
If you have been putting off additions & remodeling in Dover because you dread the process, that is usually a communication problem rather than a construction one. We give Dover homeowners an itemised estimate, a start date we can hold, and one person to call — then we keep to it.
Dover is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1836 and home to roughly 5,900 people. Its growth came with the mills and the railroads, so much of the older housing is mid-1800s worker and merchant stock — balloon framing, deep sash windows, and porches that have usually been rebuilt at least once. For a contractor that makes it a small town, which usually means a mix of older centre-of-town housing and newer subdivisions on the edges. It sits in the MetroWest region. It is about 25 miles from our Northborough shop — about 30 to 40 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Homes around Dover range from classic New England colonials and capes to newer construction, and each one calls for a slightly different approach. We tailor every additions & remodeling project to the age, style and condition of your home — never a one-size-fits-all template — so the finished work looks like it was always meant to be there.
From permits and materials to the final finish and clean-up, you work directly with the owner from start to finish — one accountable point of contact for your whole additions & remodeling project in Dover.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.

An addition always needs a permit, and usually more than one.
780 CMR only exempts minor finish work and small detached structures. Anything that changes the footprint, cuts into a load-bearing wall, alters a means of egress or touches the mechanical systems requires a building permit — typically alongside electrical, plumbing and gas permits. As your licensed contractor we file all of them and book the inspections.
For additions & remodeling work in the Town of Dover, the filing goes to Dover's building department. As a Massachusetts Registered Home Improvement Contractor (HIC #196540) we pull the permit in our name, book the inspections and meet the inspector on site — you never have to take a day off for it. Requirements do change, so we confirm the current position with Dover's office before any work starts.
