Ryan did an awesome job, he was pleasant and punctual, and I’m going to use him for a lot of other jobs in the spring. I would highly recommend these people.
New Canaan additions are at their best when they look like they were always part of the house. That takes more than carpentry — it takes design that respects the original architecture, framing that ties cleanly into existing structure, and finish work that doesn't betray a seam between old and new. White Hills Property Management plans and builds home additions for New Canaan homes, from primary suite expansions on traditional colonials to thoughtful additions on Mid-Century Modern homes where preserving the architecture is non-negotiable.
Additions That Fit New Canaan Homes
New Canaan's mix of historic colonials, classic farmhouses, and Mid-Century Modern landmarks means there's no one approach. Mid-Century additions usually keep the flat or low-pitch rooflines, ribbon windows, and material palette of the original. Colonial additions match siding, trim, roof pitch, and window proportions. We start every project with a careful architectural read of the existing home before we put a single line on a drawing.
We handle the full project: design, structural engineering, permitting with the Town of New Canaan, foundation, framing, roofing, exterior finish, mechanicals, and interior work.
