Home Addition Medford NY

What's Included in Your Project

Every Rich’s Construction project includes proper permits, quality materials, skilled tradespeople, and project management that keeps everything on track. We handle roofing, siding, window installation, concrete work, painting, and complete home remodeling.

For Medford homeowners, this means working with contractors who understand local building codes, know which materials hold up best in our climate, and have relationships with local suppliers for faster delivery and better pricing. We’re not learning on your job – we’re applying decades of experience to get your project done right.

Whether you’re expanding your kitchen to accommodate family gatherings, adding a bedroom for a growing family, or updating your home’s exterior to boost curb appeal, we coordinate every aspect so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors or worry about whether everyone shows up when they’re supposed to.

How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in Medford?

Most kitchen remodels in Medford take 4-8 weeks, depending on the scope of work and whether we’re moving plumbing or electrical. A simple cabinet and countertop replacement might take 2-3 weeks, while a complete gut renovation with new layout takes 6-8 weeks. The key factors are permit approval time (usually 1-2 weeks in Medford), material delivery schedules, and whether we encounter any surprises when we open up walls. We always build a small buffer into our timeline estimates because it’s better to finish early than late. We’ll give you a detailed schedule before work begins, including when to expect your kitchen to be out of service and when you’ll be cooking in your new space.
Most home additions in Medford require a building permit from the Town of Brookhaven, and depending on the size and scope, you may also need electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permits. If you’re adding square footage, you’ll need architectural plans that comply with local setback requirements and zoning regulations. We handle all permit applications for our clients because we know exactly what Medford’s building department requires, which inspections are needed at each stage, and how to avoid common delays. The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks, and we don’t start construction until everything is properly approved. For additions over a certain size, you may also need to meet current energy code requirements, which can affect insulation, windows, and HVAC planning. We factor all of this into our initial planning so there are no surprises later.
We prevent most cost overruns by doing thorough planning upfront and building contingencies into our estimates for common unknowns. Before starting any project, we discuss potential issues we might encounter and what they would cost to address. If we do find something unexpected – like outdated electrical that needs updating or structural issues that weren’t visible initially – we stop work, explain the situation, and give you options with clear pricing before proceeding. No work gets done without your approval. Our contracts specify exactly what’s included in the base price and what would be considered a change order. This protects both of us and ensures you’re never surprised by costs you didn’t approve.
Yes, all Rich’s Construction work comes with warranties that vary by the type of work performed. Structural work typically carries a longer warranty than finish work, and we honor manufacturer warranties on all materials and appliances we install. For most remodeling projects, you’ll get a one-year warranty on workmanship, which covers any issues that arise from installation errors or defects in our work. Roofing and siding projects often come with extended warranties based on the materials used. We also provide you with all manufacturer warranty information for materials and appliances, help you register products when required, and remain available to address any warranty issues that come up. Our goal is your complete satisfaction, not just project completion.
Our pricing is detailed, transparent, and based on 36 years of knowing exactly what projects actually cost to complete properly. We don’t give artificially low estimates to win jobs, then surprise you with change orders and extras. Every estimate includes quality materials, proper permits, skilled labor, and project management. We break down costs so you can see exactly what you’re paying for, and we explain any allowances or assumptions built into the price. We’re typically not the cheapest bid, but we’re often the best value because our projects finish on time, on budget, and without the headaches that come from working with contractors who cut corners to offer lower prices.
We plan every project to minimize disruption to your family’s daily routine. This means establishing work hours that respect your schedule, protecting areas of your home that aren’t part of the project, and maintaining access to essential areas like bathrooms and kitchens whenever possible. For kitchen remodels, we help you set up a temporary kitchen space and coordinate the work sequence to restore basic functionality as quickly as possible. We also schedule dusty work when you’re not home, contain work areas with plastic sheeting, and clean up thoroughly each day. Our crew arrives on time, works efficiently, and respects your home like it’s our own. We understand that construction is disruptive by nature, but good planning and consideration can minimize the impact on your daily life.
