Home Additions for Marlboro Homeowners
Marlboro lots are big. Along Edison Street and Ravenna Avenue and out on the township roads, homes sit on a quarter acre to several acres, and that changes the addition conversation. In a city subdivision the question is whether to build up because there is no room to build out. Out here there is room. The question is where the septic tank and leach field sit, because an addition cannot go over either one, and where the well is.
The houses that get additions in Marlboro are the ranches and split-levels from the sixties and seventies with one and a half baths and a kitchen too small for the family that grew up in it, and the pre-war farmhouses that have already been added onto once or twice by somebody without plans. That second kind is where an addition gets interesting, because the existing structure has to carry the new one, and we do not know what is in those walls until we open them.
Joseph Evans runs every addition from Uniontown, one township west. An addition starts with a paid design, because it cannot be priced honestly without plans, and the design fee is on our main additions page. Then permits through Stark County, then the build.

Additions go up the same way in Hartville and Lake Township, in Uniontown where our shop is, in Randolph over the county line, and west in Green, North Canton and Jackson Township.
What a Marlboro addition runs into
Septic and setbacks first. The leach field decides which side of the house the addition can go on, and the township zoning setback decides how far it can go. Then the foundation. A frost footer in Stark County goes down below the freeze line, and on a lot with clay under it the excavation is the part of the job that surprises people. Then the tie-in. The roof of the new part has to meet the roof of the old part without a valley that holds snow, and the siding has to match a house that may have been re-sided twice. Then mechanicals. A furnace and a panel sized for the original house may not carry a master suite, and we know that at design, not at drywall. A bump-out of a few feet for a kitchen or a family room avoids most of that, and we will tell you where the line sits between a bump-out that makes sense and a full addition that does.
Common Questions
Home Additions Questions from Marlboro Homeowners
Straightforward answers to what homeowners in the Marlboro area ask us most often.
No honest number exists until there are plans, because a bump-out and a second story are different jobs. Every addition starts with a paid design, and the design fee is on our home additions page. On a Marlboro lot the design also has to work around the septic field, which is where the first hour of it goes.
Yes, on the side of the house the leach field is not on. We locate the tank and the field before a line is drawn, and the township setback is checked at the same time. On the big lots out here there is almost always room to build out, which saves the cost of going up.
Because it has to attach to a house that is already there. Frost footer below the freeze line, roof tie-in without a valley that holds snow, siding that matches, furnace and panel that may not carry the new rooms. Marlboro homeowners hear that on the first call, on purpose.
We do. Zoning through Marlboro Township, the building permit through the Stark County Building Department in North Canton, every inspection scheduled by us. The trades report to us, and you get an update every Tuesday and Friday.
A master suite on the back of a seventies ranch, and a family room or bigger kitchen on a pre-war farmhouse that has already been added onto once by somebody without plans. That second kind is where the design phase earns its fee, because we do not know what is in those walls until they are open.
A bump-out of a few feet off the kitchen or dining room skips most of the foundation and roof work. Past a certain size it stops making sense against a full addition, and we tell you where that line sits for your house.
An addition usually means a new bathroom or a bigger kitchen inside it. We also do bathroom remodeling in Marlboro, kitchen remodeling in Marlboro, and basement finishing in Marlboro.
