Home Addition Contractors in Glastonbury, CT
D-Core Construction is a home addition builder serving Glastonbury, CT, on the east bank of the Connecticut River. We take on room additions and second-story additions for houses of every age here, with the structure, roof tie-in, and finish work planned as one project from the start.
Every addition we build starts with a question about daily life. Maybe the kitchen needs room for a real table, the kids need their own bedrooms, or a parent is moving in and needs a suite on the first floor. Once we know what the space is for, we can work out where it goes, how big it needs to be, and how it connects to the rest of the house.
From there, the work follows a set order. We pour the foundation, frame the walls and floor, and tie the new roof into the existing one so the joint stays tight through winter. Windows and insulation come before the interior, and electrical and plumbing are coordinated with the framing instead of added at the end. Keeping one team on every phase is how affordable home additions stay realistic: fewer handoffs, fewer surprises, and a clear scope you approve up front.

Building on Glastonbury's Older Houses
Glastonbury was established in 1693 and has 154 houses built before 1800, the second-highest count of any town in the country after Marblehead, Massachusetts. The South Glastonbury Historic District was listed on the National Register in 1984 and enlarged in 2009, and the town's Historic District Commission runs its own Certificate of Appropriateness process, with an application that asks for a scale drawing of existing and proposed buildings for any addition.
For the building permit, the town asks for full construction plans drawn to scale, and depending on where the addition sits, the Building Division may also ask for a plot plan certified A-2 by a professional engineer or land surveyor. We factor both into planning so the paperwork is ready when it is time to apply.

Questions About Home Additions in Glastonbury, CT
What does Glastonbury require for an addition permit?
The town requires a building permit to construct or alter a building, with full construction plans to scale for an addition. Depending on the location of the addition, the Building Division may also require a plot plan certified A-2 by a professional engineer or land surveyor. We plan for those documents early.
Is South Glastonbury reviewed differently?
Properties under the Historic District Commission go through a Certificate of Appropriateness review, and its application asks for a scale drawing showing existing and proposed buildings. We check with you whether your address falls under that review before the design is final.
Can you add on to a house built in the 1700s or 1800s?
Yes, but older framing and foundations need careful inspection before the plan is set. We look at the condition of the structure where the addition will connect, and we design the new work to respect the proportions of the original house.
Will you keep the job site clean?
Yes. We protect the parts of the house and yard that are not being worked on, keep materials organized, and clean up as phases finish. A tidy site is also a safer one for your family.
