Dan was extremely easy to work with. He made our families emergency renovation process simple and was always available for questions. His company did fantastic work in a timely manner and Everything fell within budget. I would definitely recommend Dan for all your home remodeling needs.
From the beginning of the porch being knocked down. To the rebuilding of my new enclosed porch. Dan and his workers were amazing people. Very professional and courteous people. Beautiful job from start to finish.
Dan and his team just added on a 12×12 composite deck to a existing deck at my home. It came out amazing and we are so happy with it. Dan and his team were excellent and will be using them in future projects, thank you Dan
Best construction company!!! Very responsible and professional. Always on time, always ready to answer all questions!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking either to build a house, to do extension, build a porch or something else. They do free estimates and do the job quickly.
Dan’s Construction just completed a Trex deck with two sets of stairs for me. I am thrilled with the outcome! Dan was pleasant and efficient in overseeing our deck project, his crew worked tirelessly to complete their work, despite bad weather and the issue of trash on my site…
I came across Dan’s Construction by accident while searching the internet and I’m glad I did. I read the reviews and checked out the company and contacted for an estimate. He was quick and professional and reached out enthusiastic to work…
Dan is super nice and easy to work with. His team worked all day to get our roof replaced which had damage down to the rafters. He is knowledgeable, fair and trustworthy. I highly recommend this company and will definitely hire them for future projects.
We called after seeing a recommendation on Facebook and we are very happy we did. We had them build a covered pergola off our back sliders, and since we live in a log home, we wanted rough hewn lumber. Not only did they order the perfect stuff…
Dan and his team completed a full replace of the deck, staircase and balcony at my home. From the beginning Dan was knowledgeable and responsive to my inquiry including being quick to respond to any changes to material or additional items…
Bump-outs, suites, dormers and second stories
Bloomfield's mid-century ranches, splits and colonials each want a different addition. A ranch can go out, a colonial can go up or back, and a split-level is the awkward case, because a new wing has to choose which level to join. The most common asks in Bloomfield are a primary suite, a family room off the back, a dormer to make upstairs usable, and a garage that finally fits the cars. All four are routine work for us, and on housing of this era the structure is usually predictable enough that we can talk about cost early rather than after demolition. Whether the extra space becomes a bedroom, a home office or more living space changes the mechanicals more than it changes the shell.

Foundation and structural work
New foundation below the 42-inch frost line, or a frost wall and slab where that suits the use. Where the addition opens into the existing house we carry the load properly with a sized header and a continuous path down to the footing, which is the part that gets skipped and the part an inspector checks. On a split-level the connection level decides the foundation, the roof tie-in and how many steps you live with afterward, so that gets settled first.

Matching the roofline and the street
Housing in Bloomfield runs to mid-century ranches, splits and colonials, with larger homes toward the Simsbury line, and on a street where the houses share a vocabulary an addition that ignores it stands out for the wrong reason. We match roof pitch and overhang, keep the siding exposure and trim consistent, and size the windows to the originals rather than to the current catalog. Curb appeal is the test: from the street it should not read as an addition at all.
Zoning, setbacks and the building permit
Setbacks, lot coverage and building height come from Bloomfield's zoning code and they decide the footprint before anything is designed. We check them first, file the permit with the Bloomfield Building Department in our name, and are licensed in Connecticut as well as Massachusetts.
Finishing it, plus remodeling and everything outside
A shell is the easy half. Whether the new living space works comes down to layout, daylight and mechanicals, so we plan those first, then handle bathroom remodeling inside the addition, updated finishes chosen to match the house, and insulation and windows for real energy efficiency. Most Bloomfield additions turn into more than an addition, and that is usually the right call: our remodeling services cover roofing, siding, gutters, windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, decks and sunrooms, so the whole project runs on one schedule with one point of contact.

Common questions about home additions in Bloomfield
Will adding a bedroom affect my septic?
If the property is not on town sewer, yes, and it is the first thing to settle. Under the Connecticut Public Health Code an added bedroom has to be reviewed against the septic system by the local health department before it is a building question at all, and the answer can change the design or the cost. Whether your street in Bloomfield is on town sewer is the first thing we check, before design work starts.
What does an addition cost in Bloomfield?
On Bloomfield's housing the structure is usually predictable, so the number is driven by footprint, how far the layout moves, and the level of finish rather than by surprises. We still price it at the house rather than over the phone, because the estimate is free and an itemized number you can trust is worth the visit.
How long does the whole process take?
A spring start gets the shell closed in before the weather turns, which is the sequence you want. Later starts work but carry the shell into the cold. The build itself is the predictable part; design and approvals are where the range comes from, which is why we start those first.

More about home additions in Bloomfield
Where the space usually is in a Bloomfield house
Bloomfield's housing runs to mid-century ranches, splits and colonials, with larger homes toward the Simsbury line. Houses of that era were built to a plan that assumed a smaller kitchen, one bathroom upstairs and a garage for one car, which is why the same four additions come up again and again here.
The good news is that the structure is predictable, so the conversation moves quickly to what you actually want: a primary suite, a family room off the back, a dormer that makes the upstairs usable, or a garage that fits the vehicles you own now.
The larger homes toward the Simsbury line often have room for a full wing or a second story, while on the tighter lots nearer Hartford a rear addition is usually the better value.
Adding on in Bloomfield
Bloomfield's housing changes as you move from the Hartford line toward the ridge: tighter mid-century streets first, then larger wooded lots near Penwood.
Toward the ridge, lots get larger and more wooded and the ground starts to slope. A rear addition there can include a walk-out lower level, which adds a lot of space for the cost.
In the neighborhoods closer to Hartford, the lots are regular and the houses are mostly mid-century. A family room off the back or a primary suite over a garage are the common ways to add space there.
How the season shapes the build
An addition in Bloomfield has one deadline the calendar sets for us: get the shell closed in and weathertight before the cold. That makes the start date matter more than it does on most jobs, because a foundation poured in May and a foundation poured in September lead to very different winters.
Interior finish carries the cold months and is the right work for them. We would rather give you a date that holds than the earliest one we can say out loud.
Zoning and permits in Bloomfield
Work in Bloomfield is permitted by the Bloomfield Building Department under the Connecticut State Building Code, and we file in our name so the code responsibility sits with us rather than with you. We are licensed in Connecticut as well as Massachusetts, and inspections are ours to schedule and meet.
An addition runs two approvals in parallel, and the zoning one is the slower half. Setbacks, lot coverage and height come from Bloomfield's zoning code, and where the design cannot meet them the route is a hearing for a special permit or a variance. We establish which case you are in before design work starts, because it changes both the drawing and the timeline.
If the house sits inside a local historic district, that review can govern windows, siding and anything that changes a street elevation. We check whether one applies at the start, prepare the submission where it does, and build to what gets approved.
