Feasibility Visit
We measure, check zoning setbacks, and discuss whether your goals fit within local bylaws — before any design fees.
Home Additions in Massachusetts
Single-room and second-story home additions designed to match your existing architecture. Master suites, sunrooms, family rooms, and seamless extensions.
OVERVIEW
Schlickmann Construction designs and builds home additions across Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire — from a 200-square-foot sunroom to a full second-story master suite. We integrate seamlessly with your existing home's architecture, foundation, and rooflines.
A home addition is a major investment in your property's value and your family's comfort. Done well, it looks like the addition was always there — same siding, same trim, same rooflines — and it adds 50% or more of its construction cost back to your home's resale value.
We handle every phase: structural engineering, foundation, framing, roofing, exterior finishes, windows, insulation, drywall, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and final interior finishes. Every addition is designed to match your home's siding, window style, trim profile, and roof pitch — so it disappears into the existing architecture instead of standing out.

FAQ
Common Questions About Home Additions
It depends on your lot and the addition's footprint. We pull setback and zoning data on the feasibility visit and tell you upfront whether you'll need a Zoning Board variance — most additions in Stoneham, Woburn, Reading, and similar towns don't need one if you stay within existing setbacks.
Yes. We match clapboard, vinyl, cedar shake, and brick. For older homes with discontinued siding, we either match by color/profile or we re-side the affected wall plane to maintain visual continuity.
Single-room additions in our market run $80K–$180K. Second-story additions run $180K–$320K. Master suite additions with bath run $150K–$280K. Sunrooms run $90K–$160K. Your detailed proposal in step 02 has a fixed price, not a range.
From foundation to final inspection: 3–4 months for a single-room addition, 5–7 months for a second story, 6–8 months for a complete master suite with bath. Permitting adds 4–8 weeks before we break ground.
