Can I add an in-law apartment in Kingston, NH?

Kingston has an Accessory Family Apartment Ordinance that sets the rules for in-law units. We review it with you before design, then build the addition to meet it and handle the permit with the town.

How long does a building permit take in Kingston?

It depends on the project and the season. Kingston's building department has noted that busy-season responses can take at least 10 to 15 business days, so we submit early and plan the start date around it.

Do you build new homes in Kingston?

Yes. We build custom single-family homes in Kingston on lots our clients own, starting with a review of septic, well, frontage and shoreland or wetland limits.

Do you manage the whole project in Kingston?
