Newton Deserves Better Than a Cookie-Cutter Contractor

Newton is one of the most desirable communities in Greater Boston. The homes here — from classic Colonials in Newton Centre to mid-century ranches in Waban — have real value and real character. When it's time to add space, remodel a kitchen, or renovate a bathroom, the work needs to match what's already there.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to. We've built two-story additions with walk-out basements, expanded kitchens with custom finishes, added screened porches, and renovated bathrooms — all while respecting the architectural integrity of the original home. The addition should look like it was always part of the house, not bolted on.

North Heritage Construction is a licensed and insured general contractor based in Massachusetts, serving Newton and surrounding communities since 2004. Every project is managed by our own experienced team — coordinating every trade from start to finish.

What We Build in Newton

Additions, renovations, and custom builds designed for Newton's established neighborhoods.

Two-Story Additions

When your family outgrows the house but you love the neighborhood, building up and out is the answer. We build two-story additions with walk-out basements, expanded living rooms, new kitchens, and screened porches — all matched to the existing architecture.

Kitchen Remodels

Full kitchen renovations with custom cabinetry, countertops, and layout reconfiguration. We handle everything from demolition to final trim — designed to match the character of your Newton home while modernizing how you use the space.

Bathroom Renovations

Master baths, guest baths, and powder rooms — rebuilt with quality fixtures and finishes. Whether it's part of a larger addition or a standalone renovation, every bathroom we build is done right the first time.

Screened Porches and Decks

Extend your living space outdoors with a screened porch or custom deck. We build structures that integrate seamlessly with the addition and existing home — using premium materials that hold up to New England weather.

Featured Project

Two-Story Addition — Albemarle Road, Newton

This Newton home needed additional space for a growing family. The client came to us with architectural plans for a two-story addition, and we brought those plans to life. The project added a walk-out basement, expanded living room, new kitchen with custom finishes, and a screened porch. We also renovated an existing bathroom — ensuring all finishes matched the quality of the new construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a home addition cost in Newton, MA?

Home additions in Newton typically range from $200 to $400 per square foot depending on complexity, existing structure, and finish level. A first-floor addition generally runs $80,000–$150,000. A two-story addition with full interior finish typically starts at $200,000. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate after walking your property.

Do I need a permit for a home addition in Newton?

Yes — all structural additions require a building permit in Newton. This includes framing, electrical, and plumbing permits where applicable. North Heritage handles all permit applications and inspections as part of every project. Newton's building department typically takes 4–8 weeks to approve permits; we factor this into the project schedule from day one.

How long does a home addition take in Newton?

Most home additions take 3–6 months from permit approval to final walkthrough. A first-floor addition can be completed in 10–14 weeks. A two-story addition with full interior finish typically takes 4–6 months. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and stick to it.

Will my addition match the existing house?

Yes — matching the existing structure is one of the most important parts of the job. We match rooflines, siding materials, window styles, and exterior trim so the finished addition looks like it was always part of the original home. Newton's established neighborhoods have distinct architectural character, and we respect that in every project we build here.

Can you add a second story to my Newton home?

Yes — second-story additions are one of our specialties. The process involves reinforcing the existing foundation and structural walls, building new second-floor framing, and tying in a new roof. We have completed multiple second-story additions in Newton and surrounding communities.

Do you handle architectural drawings and permits?

Yes. We coordinate architectural drawings as part of the design-build process and pull all required permits directly. You do not need to hire a separate architect or manage the permitting process yourself. One point of contact from design through final inspection.

Do you use subcontractors?

Our own crew handles all carpentry, framing, roofing, siding, and interior finish work. For licensed trades — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, and plaster — we work with trusted specialists we've coordinated with for years. Our team manages the site every day. You will never come home to a job site with no one in charge.
