The Short Version
A. Will Construction is a remodeling and general contractor serving Salem, NH from its base in Haverhill, MA, just across the state line. Anthony Rivera manages kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions, and whole home renovations across Salem and southern New Hampshire. Every job gets a written schedule, daily photo reports, and written change orders.
Why Salem Homeowners Choose A. Will Construction
Salem sits right on the Massachusetts border along Route 28 and I-93. The town has grown steadily over the past two decades – ranch homes and split-levels from the 1960s and 70s sit next to newer subdivisions near the Canobie Lake area. A lot of those older homes were built for a different era and their kitchens and bathrooms show it.
Salem is about 15 minutes from our Haverhill base, north on I-495 to I-93, so daily site presence works the same as it does on a Haverhill job. Older homes along Route 28 and in the neighborhoods around Shadow Lake often need plumbing and electrical brought up to date before finish work starts, and the estimate accounts for that from day one.
The difference in Salem is the paperwork. Daily reports, formal schedules, written change orders. That system came out of commercial construction, and that level of documentation is rare in residential work up here. You see exactly where your project stands every single day.

What Remodeling Services Does A. Will Construction Offer in Salem, NH?
We handle the full range of residential remodeling and construction: kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions and ADUs, whole home renovations, and new home construction.
Salem’s housing stock creates specific renovation challenges. Many homes along Route 28 and in the older neighborhoods were built on concrete slabs with radiant heat, which complicates bathroom remodels that need drain relocation. The ranch homes near Canobie Lake often have low-pitched roofs that limit second-story addition options without structural redesign. We factor those constraints into the estimate so the scope is realistic before you commit.
For homeowners looking at additions, New Hampshire state law requires towns to allow at least one attached accessory dwelling unit by right on single-family lots, so an in-law suite in Salem no longer needs a special exception. We handle the permitting through the Salem Building Department at 33 Geremonty Drive and coordinate with the planning board when site plan review is required.

What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Salem, NH?
A full kitchen remodel in Salem typically runs $35,000 to $80,000 depending on the size of the room, how much the layout changes, and the cabinet and countertop grades you pick. Smaller scopes that keep the existing layout and replace cabinets, counters, and appliances can come in under that range.
One Salem-specific cost driver: many ranches here sit on concrete slabs, and moving a sink or dishwasher means cutting into that slab to relocate drain lines. That is the kind of item we price during the walkthrough instead of discovering mid-project.

Common Questions
Remodeling in Salem, NH
Can a Massachusetts contractor work in New Hampshire?
Yes. New Hampshire does not require a state contractor license the way Massachusetts does. We carry general liability and workers compensation insurance that covers work in both states. For Salem projects, we pull permits through the Salem Building Department at 33 Geremonty Drive and coordinate inspections directly with their office.
How far is the drive from Haverhill to Salem, NH?
About 15 minutes on I-495 to I-93. Salem is one of the closest towns to our Haverhill base, which is close enough for daily site visits. Response time and day-to-day oversight work the same as they do on a Haverhill project.
What does a bathroom remodel cost in Salem, NH?
A full bathroom gut in southern New Hampshire typically runs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on the room size, plumbing changes, and finish selections. A powder room refresh starts around $5,000 to $8,000. We break the estimate into line items so you can see exactly where the cost goes and make informed decisions about scope.
Do you work in Plaistow and other towns near Salem?
Yes. We work throughout southern New Hampshire including Plaistow, Windham, and Pelham, and across the border in Methuen, Andover, and North Andover. Most of our projects are within a 30-minute radius of Haverhill.
