Specialty Additions: Non-conforming Lots & FEMA Restrictions

If you need more space but can't expand your footprint, transform your home by adding an additional story. 

In historic seaside communities across coastal Massachusetts, where non-confirming lots and FEMA restrictions may apply, one way to add space to your home may be to add a third floor. Awl's extensive experience navigating FEMA guidelines makes us a great partner for these types of projects. Many of our clients' additions have included.

  • Luxury Bathrooms - Relax in your new soaking tub or rain shower, and stay warm with heated floors.
  • Master Bedrooms - The bedroom you've always wanted with an Instagram-worthy walk-in closet.
  • Bonus Rooms - Turn your new floor into a private oasis or the work-from-home office you've always wanted.
  • Outdoor Living Spaces - Enjoy the views with a 3rd-floor outdoor deck or entertaining space.

What to Expect When You Work With Awl Carpentry

The Awl Carpentry Process

Any contractor can claim to work with a streamlined process to simplify the customer experience. But only Awl Carpentry lives that message every day. As one of the South Shore’s most trusted, experienced home remodelers, we bring our dedication to quality and commitment to honest communication to every site, delivering a renovation experience and proven process that is second to none. 

Same-Day Out Reach

We’ll be in touch fast, usually the same day, to introduce ourselves, get your project underway, and give you a clear picture of what Awl Carpentry can do. During our initial conversation, we’ll ask about your plans, where you are in the renovation process, design ideas, and financing options. This process helps us tailor the experience to your requirements.

On-Site Walkthrough

When you’re ready, we conduct a full walkthrough of your proposed space. We answer questions, check utilities and measurements, make inquiries, and offer helpful suggestions to avoid unforeseen costs or construction delays. This helps us determine precisely how you want to live in your new space and tailor our work to that need. 

Budget Breakdown

Once you’re happy with our remodeling proposal, we will break down your unique budget, item by item, and explain all costs to your satisfaction. We then help you with all materials, scheduling, and ordering appointments to relieve stress and take everything one step at a time so you avoid decision fatigue.

Friday Follow-Up

When all materials are on-site, we take control of the project, and remodeling can begin. At the end of the week, we communicate with you during our exclusive “Friday Follow–Up,” providing status updates using sophisticated 3D modeling software, upcoming project stages and design work, as well as clearly defined payment, and invoice schedules in the spirit of full transparency and continuous communication.
