Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Waltham
If you have been putting off additions & remodeling in Waltham because you dread the process, that is usually a communication problem rather than a construction one. We give Waltham homeowners an itemised estimate, a start date we can hold, and one person to call — then we keep to it.
Waltham is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1738 and home to roughly 65,000 people. It was settled well before the Republic, which usually means a core of Federal and Greek Revival homes surrounded by later infill — plenty of hand-framed structure, and rooflines never meant to carry today's insulation. We know the town well — from Moody Street, the Bleachery and Warrendale to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Waltham quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 25 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic.
Homes around Waltham 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.
We stand behind what we build. If something isn't right after we've gone, you call and we come back — that's the point of being licensed, insured and easy to find in Waltham, rather than a number that stops answering.
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 City of Waltham, the filing goes to Waltham's building and inspectional services 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 Waltham's office before any work starts.
