Farmhouse Additions - Enlarge Your Farmhouse Home The Right Way

Share Simply Additions

A customer of our previous home improvement company, Simply Additions LLC, called us because their farmhouse was in need of some room additions.

The family decided to add a dining room with a bump-out, living room, master bedroom, bathroom, and a 3 car garage with an unfinished bonus room above.

Their lovely home is situated on the Connecticut River in Portland CT, and it has been there for a very very long time.

This home addition posed some challenges because the existing house was sagging in the areas where we had to blend the new additions. Nevertheless, our crews worked day and night and made our customers dreams come true.

Relocating the Sewer Pipe

We had to relocate the sewer pipes

The new addition would interfere with the neighbors city sewer connection, we had to relocate the sewer to bypass the foot print of the 3,600 square foot addition.


Please Remove These Trees

Tree & Deck Removal

Our customer had plenty of trees on their property already, but these two Pine Trees in back of their home constantly filled their gutters with needles. We removed the trees and also their existing deck (shown in this photo).


Concrete Footers (Main Addition)

Concrete footers were poured

The main addition included a full basement, here you can see how we poured the footers. Notice the orange safety fencing around the perimeter, this prevents children and animals from getting hurt during this phase.


Foundation Has Cured

The foundation for the main addition cured quickly in the summer heat.
