Home Addition Building in Exeter

More usable space, designed as a natural extension of your home

WHAT WE DO

J.R. Heald Builders provides home addition construction for Exeter homeowners who want to gain space without starting over somewhere else. We build additions that support new needs while keeping the home’s existing layout and character in view.

Depending on the project, the addition may create bedrooms, expanded living areas, a larger kitchen, or flexible space, with the new rooms designed to connect naturally to the rest of the house.

Our home addition services plan new space around your existing home so the layout, structure, and exterior details work together naturally.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used J.R. Heald to build a 4-season room in our house.  The work and craftsmanship were outstanding, and we couldn't be happier with the completed project.  We would definitely work with Justin and team again on a similar project in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used JR Heald Construction for a kitchen remodel.  We couldn't be happier with the results!  Justin and his team showed up, cleaned up, communicated very well throughout the project and most importantly - the quality of work was impeccable.  High quality workmanship all around.  I'm bringing them back to do my 3 bathrooms.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heald Builders goes the extra mile. Had a leak in basement, that no one could fix.  They went above and beyond to find the source and replaced an exterior French door that had been installed incorrectly 20 years prior.  Transformed a dull, dated exterior deck with vertical lattice and formal stairs that changed the entire flow of our backyard. Great attention to detail. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The craftmanship and care Justin and his team provide make him a contractor you should wait for. We adore working with him because we know that our work will be made to look even better because of how diligently he pays attention to those details. Some of those details you may not have even thought of- but he does.
