Addition Types
Home Addition Options for Beverly Homeowners
When Beverly homeowners call us about more space, we start by naming the four paths: room addition, bump-out, second-story, and in-law suite or ADU. Each one carries a different cost, timeline, and permitting path, and the wrong pick wastes money.
A bump-out is the lightest lift because it borrows from the existing structure, while a second-story build is the biggest commitment. On tight Essex lots where historic estates in Beverly Farms and older homes near downtown often add layout and access constraints limits your options, an ADU often unlocks the space you thought you could not add.

Structure First

DeFaria Construction has a 5.0 rating from 15 reviews on Google. See all reviews on Google.
Luiz has done many projects, from major renovations to minor repairs, for us in multiple homes over the last ten years. He and his company always do excellent and timely work. I would recommend him any time.
We used DeFaria Construction twice, once for a gut remodel of a condo unit and the other for a basement and garage upgrade. They are very professional, reasonably priced, do a great job, stick to their timelines and leave the work area totally clean at the end of every day. I highly recommend Luiz…
My husband and I are so grateful for the beautiful work Luis did to get our home move-in ready. We had a newborn and a tight move-in window, and Luis went above and beyond to get everything done in time. He helped us with multiple projects including building a gate, repairing walls/doors…
During construction
Living at home during a Beverly addition
Most Beverly families stay in the house while the addition is built, and the plan should make that easy. The new space is framed and closed in before the wall into the existing house is opened, so the connection happens as late as possible and for as short a time as possible. Dust barriers go up at the opening, floors on the path in and out are protected and the site is cleaned at the end of each day.
You get a schedule in writing, one point of contact for questions and advance notice whenever power, water or heat has to be off for part of a day. Keeping driveway access and a clear route for kids and pets is part of the plan from the first walkthrough.
