FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FOR HOME ADDITIONS
What are the zoning restrictions and permits I will need to build an addition?
This depends on your town’s zoning setback requirements, which vary widely.
Common setbacks: 10–25 ft from front, 5–15 ft from sides/rear
There is also usually a total lot coverage percentage of all structures on your property as well. This varies and depends on your specific location and zoning district
Strict rules are in place regarding wetlands and watercourses. 100 feet is a common setback from any wetland or watercourse
- If your proposed addition violates setbacks, you’ll need a variance from the local Zoning Board of Appeals.
- Depending on location, septic limitations may apply to the addition of a new bedroom
- If your plan infringes on a wetland setback, you will need to file for a wetlands permit and follow the procedures for your municipality and state.
- Building permits and proper construction plans/blueprints are always required for any structural addition.
Can I build up (second floor) or only out?
Both are possible, but:
- Height limits usually apply (e.g., 35 feet max)
- Adding a second story might require a structural assessment of the existing foundation and framing
- Engineered beams and support will likely need to be added.
- Your home is left completely exposed to the elements, minus tarps, during the construction phases
- It is difficult to occupy the house during construction of a complete second floor.
How much will an addition cost in CT or MA?
- Typical costs (2025):
- $175 (simple with limited features) – $350 (custom designs and features with plumbing) per sq ft, depending on complexity and location
- Costs are much higher if plumbing is involved (e.g., adding a bathroom or kitchen)
- Structural or Code Required upgrades and repairs to existing home or HVAC systems could add to the above costs.
What types of home additions offer the best return on investment (ROI) in Connecticut or Massachusetts?
Focusing on ROI is smart for any home addition in CT or MA. Generally, additions that add functional living space and improve home flow yield the best returns. Top performers include:
- Kitchen Expansions: A larger, updated kitchen significantly boosts home value and appeal.
- Bathroom Additions: Especially a new full or half bath, which greatly enhances functionality.
- Master Suites: Creating a dedicated primary bedroom with en-suite bath and walk-in closet is highly desirable.
- Family Room/Great Room Additions: Open-concept living spaces are popular and add significant square footage.
Our 25+ years of experience in the CT and MA markets helps us advise on additions that not only meet your needs but also maximize your property’s value.
How do you ensure a new addition seamlessly blends with my existing home's style?
Ensuring a seamless blend between your existing home and a new addition is a cornerstone of our design-build process at Platinum Construction. With 25 years of experience in CT and MA, we focus on:
- Architectural Harmony: We carefully analyze your home’s original architectural style, rooflines, window patterns, and exterior materials. Our designers create plans that complement these elements, making the addition look like it was always part of the original structure, not an afterthought.
- Material Matching: We prioritize sourcing materials that match or perfectly complement your home’s existing siding, roofing, windows, and trim. This attention to detail ensures aesthetic continuity.
- Integrated Flow: Internally, we design the layout to ensure logical transitions and a natural flow between old and new spaces, enhancing both functionality and comfort.
Our goal is an addition that enhances your home’s value and character, looking as if it were always there.
