Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Wenham
If you have been putting off additions & remodeling in Wenham because you dread the process, that is usually a communication problem rather than a construction one. We give Wenham homeowners an itemised estimate, a start date we can hold, and one person to call — then we keep to it.
Wenham is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1643 and home to roughly 5,000 people. That makes it one of the oldest communities in the state, so the older streets carry genuine antique stock — post-and-beam frames, hand-cut joinery, plaster over lath, and additions layered on across three centuries. For a contractor that makes it a small community where most work is word-of-mouth and your neighbours will notice who you hired. It sits in the North Shore. It is about 55 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
We treat your Wenham home the way we'd want our own treated: clean job sites, clear daily communication, and respect for your time and property. When the additions & remodeling project wraps, the only thing we leave behind is work you'll be proud to show off.
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 Wenham, 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 Town of Wenham, the filing goes to Wenham'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 Wenham's office before any work starts.
