Room additions and home expansions for properties in Charlestown, New Hampshire.
Your home in Charlestown no longer fits your family, but moving means leaving a location, school district, or mortgage rate you want to keep. Adding square footage to your existing structure gives you the space you need without the cost and disruption of relocating. Whether you need a primary suite, office, mudroom, or expanded living area, a well-planned addition integrates with your current floor plan and looks like it was always part of the house.
T2B Carpentry, LLC designs and builds home additions that match your existing roofline, siding, and foundation type. The process includes pulling permits, pouring a frost-protected foundation, framing walls and roof, and tying the new structure into your home so it functions as one continuous space. You choose finishes, window placement, and layout details that make the addition work for how you live.

Add Space Without Moving or Rebuilding
How the Addition Gets Built and Connected
Construction in Charlestown starts with excavating and pouring a foundation that extends below frost line and matches the height of your existing slab or crawl space. T2B Carpentry, LLC frames the addition with walls, floor systems, and roof structure that align with your home's existing framing. The new roof either ties into the existing slope or creates a transition that sheds water properly and matches the pitch.
When the addition is complete, you will have new living space that stays the same temperature as the rest of your home, with no drafts or temperature differences at the connection point. Floors sit level with existing rooms, and interior doorways open into the addition without steps or transitions. The exterior looks cohesive because siding, trim, and roofing materials match or complement what is already on your house.
The work includes foundation, framing, roofing, siding, insulation, drywall, and interior finish carpentry. It does not include plumbing, electrical, or HVAC unless those systems are part of the contract scope. If your addition requires cutting into an existing exterior wall or relocating utilities, T2B Carpentry, LLC coordinates those tasks so the project stays on schedule and passes inspections.
What type of foundation works for a home addition?
Most additions in Charlestown use a poured concrete foundation that matches the depth and style of your existing foundation. Frost footings go at least four feet below grade to prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles.
How do you match the existing roofline?
T2B Carpentry, LLC ties the new roof into your existing structure by removing a section of shingles, extending rafters or trusses, and flashing the connection so water does not collect at the seam. The pitch and material match your current roof to maintain a consistent appearance.
Will the addition affect my existing HVAC system?
Adding square footage increases heating and cooling demand, so your current system may need upgrading or the addition may require a separate zone. T2B Carpentry, LLC works with HVAC contractors to plan ductwork and equipment sizing during the design phase.
How long does a home addition take to complete?
A single-room addition typically takes two to three months from permit approval to final inspection. Larger or multi-story additions take longer depending on complexity, weather, and the extent of interior finish work.
What permits are required for a home addition in New Hampshire?
You need a building permit, and depending on the addition size and location, you may also need zoning approval or septic system review. T2B Carpentry, LLC handles permit applications and coordinates inspections throughout the project.
2B Carpentry, LLC builds home additions throughout Charlestown, and each project starts with a site evaluation to confirm setbacks, access, and utility locations before design begins.
