Akaza Builders

Akaza Builders is a Massachusetts licensed general contractor based in Grafton, MA. We specialize in residential home additions, including primary suites, in-law additions, over-garage expansions, and expanded living areas. Our local experience helps homeowners navigate permitting, inspections, and construction requirements efficiently.

Why Hire a Home Addition Contractor?

Home additions involve more than framing new space. Structural integration, foundation work, roofing tie-ins, mechanical systems, and permitting all need to be coordinated correctly to avoid delays and costly mistakes.

Hiring an experienced home addition contractor helps homeowners:

  • Understand what is structurally possible
  • Plan layouts that integrate with the existing home
  • Anticipate permitting and zoning requirements
  • Establish realistic budgets early
  • Coordinate licensed trades and inspections

Our role is to manage complexity so your addition feels like a natural extension of your home, not an afterthought.

Types of Home Additions We Manage

As a home addition contractor, we plan and build additions that support how families actually live.

Primary Bedroom & Suite Addition

Private bedroom suites with bathrooms and closets designed for long-term comfort and accessibility.

In-Law & Multigenerational Additions

Additions designed for extended family living, privacy, and future flexibility.

Over-Garage Additions

Second-story living space built above existing garages with careful structural planning.

Expanded Living Areas

Kitchen expansions, family rooms, and open living spaces that improve daily flow.

Home Additions vs ADUs: Which Is Right for You?

Home Additions

Homeowners often consider both home additions and accessory dwelling units when they need more space.

A home addition expands your existing living area and is ideal when you want:

  • Direct connection to the main home

  • Shared utilities

  • A seamless interior layout

ADUs

An ADU may be a better fit when privacy or independent living is a priority.

We help homeowners evaluate both options early so the final decision aligns with zoning, budget, and long-term goals.

What to expect:

Building Excellence, Tailored to Your Vision.

Planning & Feasibility:

We review your home, listen to your goals, and discuss zoning, structure, and budget considerations.

Design & Pre-Construction:

Layouts, scopes, and selections are finalized before construction begins to prevent surprises.

Construction Management:

We coordinate licensed trades, inspections, and schedules with consistent communication.

Final Walkthrough:

Every addition concludes with a detailed walkthrough and professional cleanup.
