House Extensions in Hudson, NH
A house extension in Hudson changes an exterior wall into an opening between rooms. ML20 General Construction builds the extension beyond that wall first, on a foundation of its own, under its own roof, and removes the old wall near the end, beneath a beam sized to carry the load above.

House Extensions in Hudson
Making Your Hudson Rooms Bigger
Hudson faces Nashua across the Merrimack River, linked by the Taylor Falls bridges where Route 102 and Route 111 cross. For a house extension in Hudson, we grow a kitchen, living room, or family room toward the back or side, and one general contractor coordinates the engineer, crews, and inspections.
How we extend Hudson homes:
- Extensions for older homes near Hudson Village
- Kitchens and living rooms extended to the back
- Siding, windows, and trim matched to the house
- Side and wraparound extensions where lots allow
- Exterior walls opened under engineer-sized beams
Local conditions
Extending Hudson Houses
Route 3A, Route 102, and Route 111 carry steady traffic, so deliveries near the bridges are planned around busy hours. Because an extension changes the footprint, we confirm setbacks and lot coverage before the layout, and the lot, soil, and existing structure shape which direction works best.
What we review before anything is drawn:
- Free space at the back or side of the house
- The beam over the new opening
- Where the new roof joins the old one
- What the panel and HVAC can carry
- The soil under the new footings
Extending the house can make sense when:
- Your kitchen is too tight for the family
- The living room does not fit the whole family
- The eating area feels crowded for family meals
- The layout feels closed toward the yard
- You want to stay in the neighborhood
At the free estimate, we look at the wall that would open, the roof above it, and the electrical panel and HVAC, since the beam, the tie-in, and the systems all depend on what is there now.
Our process
From Footings to Open Wall in Hudson
Each part of a Hudson extension has its own specialists: an engineer for the beam, a concrete crew for the footings, framers plus roofers for the shell, siding installers for a matched exterior, and electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades for the systems. One team keeps the order, so every trade starts at the right point.
- 01
Design and Direction
The size, the direction, and the new opening are set with you ahead of any digging.
- 02
Matching Footings
Footings and foundation walls set to line up with the existing foundation, then inspected.
- 03
Shell and Roof
The extension is framed, roofed, and closed in with the old wall still in place.
- 04
Matching the Exterior
Siding, windows, and trim chosen to match the house, so the extension looks original from the street.
- 05
Systems Extended
Circuits, lighting, and heat extended into the new space, plus plumbing for a larger kitchen, all inspected.
- 06
Opening the Wall
The old wall is opened near the end under a beam sized for the load, with dust barriers up.

Cost factors
What Affects House Extension Costs in Hudson
Six things set the price of a house extension in Hudson: the size and direction, the foundation and site, the beam over the opening, the roof design, the systems it needs, and matching the siding and finishes. Enlarging a kitchen costs more than a living room, so we quote every extension on its own.
The cost depends on:
- Direction and size of the extension
- Footings and site conditions
- Beam and structural work for the opening
Also in the estimate:
- Tying into the roof and exterior matching
- Wiring, plumbing, and HVAC run into the new area
- Permits, materials, and finishes

FAQ
House Extensions in Hudson: Common Questions
Before extending a house, Hudson homeowners usually ask the same few things: the permit and zoning check, how the extension opens into the house, which way the house can grow, and the first step. Each gets a short answer below. Need more detail? Give us a call.
Do I need a permit to extend my Hudson home?
Yes, you do. Adding an extension calls for a building permit plus a zoning review, because the footprint grows and setbacks and lot coverage apply. Our team files the applications, books every inspection from the footings to the final, and leaves each phase ready for the inspector.
How is the new space joined to my Hudson home?
Most of the work falls on the beam: it carries the load the opened wall held, so the larger room runs straight into the extension. Beyond that, the new footings match the house, the roofs meet at the tie-in, and windows, siding, and trim are matched outside, so the extension looks original.
Which way can a house be extended?
It depends on the lot, the setbacks, soil conditions, and the condition of the house. Certain lots leave room only for a rear extension, while other lots have space for a side or wraparound design. We review each of those during the in-home estimate, and then suggest the direction that suits the room you want to enlarge.
What is the first step to extend my Hudson home?
It starts with a free in-home consultation: request one online or call (978) 917-9072. We measure the lot and the setbacks at your Hudson home, go over your plans for the room, and explain the directions the lot allows ahead of any design. There is no obligation.
