"The Curtice Group completely designed and rebuilt my home. The house was an outdated 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath home needing new electrical, plumbing and heating systems. Scott's group transformed it into a new four bedroom 4 bath house. To do something like this with virtually no hassle was amazing. I cannot say how pleased we are with everything. Everyone was professional, courteous, and accommodating."

"I was buying a new house, the home inspector had some questions about the attic joists and suggested I have a professional take a look at them. I needed it done quickly and I called three contractors. Matt from MMP was the only one that called me back the same day and agreed to come look at them the next day. He showed up on time, suggested a remedy and gave me an estimate. After buying the house I had him complete the work. It was done as promised in a very tight and dirty attic space, they cleaned up before leaving. I also chose Matt to replace my roof after getting three estimates. The crew did the complete job, chimney flashing, ice and water shield, small roof repair and venting channels in the attic. Clean up was great, no mess left in the yard. He was not the lowest estimate but all the work was done without any additional charges. I was very pleased with the results."

"We were happy to meet Mike and George after starting a job with a different contractor. We had been told that our wall could not be removed. However, Mike and his crew not only removed that wall, but also made our other doorways larger. We have heard that permitting in our town of Westwood can be a challenge, but the process went well for us. Their workmanship was meticulous and we felt that he treated the job like he was working on his own house. Chris, his foreman, brought a fresh approach to the job and helped us, with his years of knowledge, create a beautiful and functional space. Mike stayed within budget and we weren't shocked at the end with any additional expenses. We highly recommend Mike and his crew for home renovations."

"I hired Victor to build a new house to specification and it came out great. The finishes were high quality and working with him was a breeze. I appreciated how organized he was and how he kept the project on schedule. Would very much recommend him to others and use him again."

"I didn’t previously understand the difference between a great architect and a poor one. After a frustrating experience with an unresponsive budget architect, working with Vahe and the team at Boston Architects and Builders was a complete turnaround. Communication was seamless from design through completion, and their support with permitting and construction gave us total peace of mind. Their knowledge of the historical commission was impressive—even joining meetings outside their scope, including one Vahe attended from overseas at 2:00 a.m. The final result exceeded expectations. A special thank you to Carine, who went above and beyond with site visits and care, treating the project as if it were her own home. I now truly understand what a great architect is, and I wouldn’t work with anyone else."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

A frequent mistake during home building in Dover is assuming permit timelines match neighboring towns. Homeowners also overlook strict setback rules and maximum lot coverage constraints. Failing to identify protected wetlands before starting causes severe project delays. You must also account for required distances from private Title 5 septic systems. Address these factors early to keep your project compliant and on track.

Helpful?

Gather your current plot plan showing lot boundaries, existing structures, and setbacks before starting home building. Secure your most recent Title 5 septic inspection report and the system's as-built plan. You also need copies of prior building permits, a certificate of occupancy, and any wetland delineation reports. Documenting this information helps local MA professionals accurately assess your property and streamline the planning process.

Helpful?

Home building in Dover involves unexpected expenses related to the town's geography and infrastructure. Excavating subsurface ledge requires specialized equipment and significantly increases foundation expenses. Upgrading an undersized or failing private septic system to meet health codes adds substantial expense. You will also encounter extra fees and delays if your project requires a variance, wetland environmental review, or new MA utility connection permits.

Helpful?

Well-executed home building strongly supports resale value in Dover. Expanding livable space and adding bedrooms attracts family-oriented buyers drawn to the top-rated local school district. However, any added bedrooms must align with your permitted septic system capacity. Constructing accessory structures like barns or garages also boosts appeal. Always secure proper permits, as unpermitted work creates liabilities during the mandatory MA resale inspection process.

Helpful?

To determine if your property is ready for home building, review your zoning district for permitted uses and setback requirements. Check local MA conservation maps to identify restricted wetlands or riverfront areas. Because Dover relies on private sewer, your existing Title 5 septic system must have the capacity to handle added bedrooms. Finally, evaluate the soil for shallow bedrock, which complicates foundation work.
