"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

Henry Showah Construction can skillfully design and remodel all types of projects. We take pride in our attention to detail. Please give us a call to set up an appointment.
"We contracted Henry as our GC to lead a 175K addition/renovation of our home. We added a master suite (w/ walk-in closet), another bedroom, a play/rec-room, and a workshop. We also took down the walls of an existing room to open up the common areas and built a hallway of pocket doors. We found him to be a great communicator. His subs were professional and courteous. Highly recommend him for others and would be happy to hire him again for future projects."

"I wish I could give zero stars. We hired Douglas for a kitchen remodel which involved installing a kitchen island, pantry, and all the related plumbing and electrical work. The communication between Douglas and his carpenter was terrible. We submitted sketches and agreed upon the design for the cabinets which were meant to be overlaid. When the island arrived, the cabinets were inset which did not match the rest of the kitchen. In addition, the kitchen island has split and cracked at more than half of the joints. The pantry cabinet has split and areas of unpainted MDF are showing. We have needed to paint and touch up many of these spots. Regarding the plumbing, we have had multiple significant leaks from piping and tubing that the team installed. Water has leaked even through the floor and into the basement. Upon review from other plumbers, all have confirmed the parts used were cheap and of low quality, and the workmanship was subpar. After a major leak in the middle of the night, we reached out to Douglas and respectfully voiced our issues and complaints. He ignored us for a full month, and then instead of simply stopping by to take a look at the problems (which would have been the first major step to alleviating our frustrations), he responded in a despicable manner. He even included the following quote from his lawyer, He laughed saying that perhaps you lost your job (due to the CoronaVirus) and were probably scrounging for any money you could scrape up. Who would want to work with someone like this?"

I have been in the service business for over 35 years. Originally from Ridgefield CT - starting out in the moving business, learning the great value of listening and learning from customers during one of life's most stressful times. Eventually moving into corporate sales in Manhattan with long hours of commute and travel and starting a family. In 2004 I decided to explore other professional opportunities where I could have more control over my time, energy, and creativity.
"I worked with Rob about two and a half years ago on a full renovation of my apartment, including a gut-renovated kitchen and bathroom, along with updates throughout the space. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, transparent, and just easy—exactly what you hope for but rarely get in a renovation project. Rob was incredibly organized and stuck to the agreed-upon timelines, which made the whole process feel frictionless. He was also very easy to communicate with—approachable, responsive, and always willing to talk through options. What really stood out to me, though, was his ability to navigate the unexpected. As issues came up (as they always do in a gut reno), he addressed them calmly and offered thoughtful, honest solutions. At no point did I feel like he was upselling or trying to inflate the scope—there was real trust there, and that made all the difference. I highly recommend working with Rob!"

Addition to existing structure building services FAQs
You can typically raise your roof by four to eight feet, depending on your home's structure and roof design. The exact amount depends on factors like roof slope and framing support. Raising the roof creates additional interior space, enhances natural light, and increases your home's value. Consult a professional to determine the feasible height increase for your home.
Yes, you need a building permit to raise your roof. Obtaining a building permit ensures your project complies with local building codes and safety regulations. A professional contractor can assist with the permit and inspection process and ensure all legal and safety requirements are met. Your contractor will be familiar with building codes in your area, which can differ between cities or states.
While it's possible to raise a flat roof, it requires extensive structural modifications. Flat roofs lack the attic space and support structures of pitched roofs, so raising them involves significant engineering to ensure safety and durability. This process can be complex and costly, so professional assessment is essential before undertaking a project of this magnitude.
