We consider larger additions and extensive renovations across a wider area, while smaller remodeling projects are generally scheduled closer to our home base.Tell us where your home is located and what you would like to change.

What areas does Aureli Construction serve?
Aureli Construction is based in Medford, MA, and serves Medford, Arlington, Belmont, Winchester, and Stoneham as its core service area. We also build additions and larger renovations in Lexington, Cambridge, Somerville, Melrose, Wakefield, Reading, Burlington, Newton, Brookline, Brighton, Wellesley, and as far as Newburyport.
What types of home additions do you build?
We build second-story additions, dormer additions, kitchen additions and bump-outs, primary suite additions, first-floor family-room additions, in-law additions, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), as well as the decks, porches, and exterior work that often go with them.
How much does a home addition cost in the Medford and Arlington area?
Most full home additions in Greater Boston are six-figure projects. The final cost depends on the size, whether a new foundation is needed, structural changes to the existing house, how much kitchen or bathroom work is included, and the finishes you choose. After a free on-site consultation, we provide a written scope and estimate with allowances and exclusions, so there are no surprises.
How long does a home addition take?
Design, engineering, and permitting usually take two to four months before construction starts. Construction of a typical addition takes three to six months depending on size and scope, and a second-story addition can take longer. We give you a schedule before work begins and keep you updated as the project moves.
Do I need a permit for a home addition or remodel in Massachusetts?
Yes. Additions, structural changes, and most kitchen, bathroom, and basement remodels require a building permit from your town, and often electrical and plumbing permits as well. Aureli Construction prepares and submits the permit application and coordinates inspections as part of every project.
Can you build an ADU or in-law apartment on my property?
In most cases, yes. Massachusetts allows an ADU of up to 900 square feet, or half the floor area of the main house, whichever is smaller, by right in single-family zoning districts. We review your lot, your town's ADU bylaw, and your goals, then design and build the unit as a basement apartment, attached addition, garage conversion, or detached structure.
Do you handle the design, or do I need my own architect?
You do not need to hire your own architect. Aureli Construction works closely with our architectural partner and coordinates structural engineering when it is required, so design and construction stay connected from the first meeting.
Can we live in the house during construction?
Usually, yes. For most additions and basement projects, we keep the new work separated from the living space and plan the tie-in so you are without a kitchen or bathroom for as short a time as possible. For whole-home renovations, we discuss the options with you up front.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Aureli Construction holds a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License and is a registered Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor, and we carry liability and workers' compensation insurance.
