Room additions, second stories, and attached or detached garages, matched to the house that is already there.
Irwin sits right next to our shop. Most of the housing is pre-war to mid-century, which means a lot of our work here is additions, garages, porch rebuilds, and full restorations on older homes. We have been doing custom home additions and garages here since 2015, and the same project manager runs your job from the first site visit to the final inspection.

Custom Home Additions & Garages Built for Irwin Properties
A few things come up again and again on Irwin jobs: older homes on stone or brick foundations that need a look before addition work, and narrow lots that make second-story additions more practical than ground-floor ones. We plan for both before we price the work, and we know what the local building department wants to see on a permit application, which keeps the review from dragging on.
Common challenges we address here
- Older homes on stone or brick foundations that need a look before addition work
- Narrow lots that make second-story additions more practical than ground-floor ones
- Lead paint and asbestos in pre-1978 homes where we tie in
Seasonal Considerations
A lot of Irwin's older homes have little insulation, so when we open a wall for an addition in winter we tent and heat the tie-in to protect the existing house. Spring and fall are the easiest seasons to build here.

What Irwin Customers Say
JP Construction built our two-car garage from the ground up and it came out better than we imagined. They pulled all the permits, kept us informed throughout, and finished on schedule. Quality workmanship and zero headaches.
We added a master suite and laundry room to our 1980s colonial. JP Construction matched the roofline and exterior perfectly, and neighbors have asked us if the house was always that size. Their crew was on-site consistently and that level of involvement made all the difference.
Getting permits for our older home was intimidating, but JP Construction navigated the whole process without any delays. The addition came out exactly as designed. Honest pricing, clear communication, real craftsmanship.
