Why Shining Armor

An addition should feel like the home, not an attachment.

Additions ask for structural planning, matched rooflines and finishes, and sequencing that respects daily life in the home while the work is underway. Shining Armor takes a more informed approach — combining pre-construction planning, modern documentation tools, and experienced execution — so decisions are clearer and surprises are fewer.

What this work includes

  • Family room and living space additions
  • Primary suite additions
  • Kitchen bump-outs and expansions

  • Structural planning and permitting coordination

The work

A closer look.


Process

Clear before construction.

01

Plan

The project starts with scope, structure, and how the new space should connect to the existing home, so important decisions are made early, not midstream.

02

Clarify

Modern documentation and design tools help bring clarity to the project before work begins, making layout, selections, and scope easier to understand early.

03

Build

Execution is handled with a high standard of craftsmanship and coordinated through a trusted local network of specialty trades.

Small team. Serious depth.

Built on planning and craft.

Shining Armor is led by Ethan Avgerakis, Founder & Project Director, with 10 years of experience in home improvement, building, and design. Denis Boiteau, Head of Production, brings 30 years of master finish carpentry experience, including work on historic homes. Together, that blend of planning, experience, and field knowledge helps catch problems early, keep decisions clearer, and move the work to a higher standard.

A trusted network of local electricians, plumbers, plasterers, and tile craftspeople helps keep addition projects coordinated, accountable, and finished to a consistent standard.
