"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

Henry Showah Construction can skillfully design and remodel all types of projects. We take pride in our attention to detail. Please give us a call to set up an appointment.
"We contracted Henry as our GC to lead a 175K addition/renovation of our home. We added a master suite (w/ walk-in closet), another bedroom, a play/rec-room, and a workshop. We also took down the walls of an existing room to open up the common areas and built a hallway of pocket doors. We found him to be a great communicator. His subs were professional and courteous. Highly recommend him for others and would be happy to hire him again for future projects."

I have been in the service business for over 35 years. Originally from Ridgefield CT - starting out in the moving business, learning the great value of listening and learning from customers during one of life's most stressful times. Eventually moving into corporate sales in Manhattan with long hours of commute and travel and starting a family. In 2004 I decided to explore other professional opportunities where I could have more control over my time, energy, and creativity.
"I worked with Rob about two and a half years ago on a full renovation of my apartment, including a gut-renovated kitchen and bathroom, along with updates throughout the space. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, transparent, and just easy—exactly what you hope for but rarely get in a renovation project. Rob was incredibly organized and stuck to the agreed-upon timelines, which made the whole process feel frictionless. He was also very easy to communicate with—approachable, responsive, and always willing to talk through options. What really stood out to me, though, was his ability to navigate the unexpected. As issues came up (as they always do in a gut reno), he addressed them calmly and offered thoughtful, honest solutions. At no point did I feel like he was upselling or trying to inflate the scope—there was real trust there, and that made all the difference. I highly recommend working with Rob!"

"I highly recommend DDR. There are so many contractors out there and it is difficult to know what youâ ll get when you hire someone, from the quality of the work to the level of communication. This team did a great job from start to finish, and delivered a beautiful new space for my family. We selected DDR after getting multiple bids to update our walk-out basement into a more livable space. Key in this selection -- the price was competitive, and the team seemed attentive to the project needs as outlined. I had a tight budget and relatively aggressive timeline for this project. Admittedly the timeline was impacted by a few things that were out of DDRâ s control, including the Town building inspectorâ s schedule and a delivery delay (a new window arrived damaged and had to be reordered.) Nevertheless, the team stayed on budget and delivered a wonderful new basement. What a great project team -- led by Alex, the team (including John + Angel) truly transformed a dark dingy space into a bright fresh room. Alex was very thoughtful in suggesting options that would improve things and was exceptionally attentive to detail. He was super responsive to any texts or questions. In particular, I appreciated his high level of â perfectionismâ in how the finished product turned out. For phase 2, we need some custom cabinetry built for the space and I look forward to having the DDR team return to work on this next phase."

Addition to existing structure building services FAQs
How far you can push a room depends on the structure you choose. A cantilevered bump-out can extend 24 inches before building codes require its own footing or foundation. Anything longer needs engineered support and a permit. Check local codes or consult with a structural professional before finalizing plans to ensure your design remains safe and compliant.
Most bump-outs are completed within one to four weeks, even with minimal electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work. Their compact size means less demolition, simpler inspections, and fewer weather-related delays compared to a full-scale addition. Your contractor can provide a more precise timeline once they have determined the scope, materials, and permit schedule, but plan on having the extra square footage ready in approximately a month.
