Home Additions and Remodeling in Newtown, CT
Additions and remodels done with an eye toward Newtown's colonial farmhouses and historic center.
Newtown's housing stock runs old, plenty of it colonial and farmhouse construction from the seventeen and eighteen hundreds, especially around the flagpole and along the older roads leading out to Sandy Hook. Additions on these homes take more care than a typical suburban build, matching roofline, siding, and window proportions so the house still reads as period correct once the work is done.
Outside the village centers, lots get large and rural, most running on well water and septic same as the rest of Fairfield County's outer towns. The Fairfield Hills campus and the area around the Pootatuck River show the range in this town, from converted institutional buildings to working farms. Permitting here means working with a town that takes its historic character seriously, and that is part of the job.
