About Underdog Construction

Underdog Construction is led by Wade Cedar, a builder with over a decade of hands-on experience managing residential construction projects. Wade has worked every role in the field, from labor and carpentry to full project management, and brings that experience into every addition we build.
We take on projects we can personally oversee and complete with care. That means clear communication, realistic timelines, and an end result that feels intentional rather than rushed.

Home Addition Services Built Around Real Needs

Home additions are not just about square footage. They are about improving how you live in your space.
Typical home addition projects include:

We handle additions from early planning through construction, including coordination with designers and pulling permits when required. Our focus is always on making sure the addition feels like part of the original home, not something tacked on later.

Available in Newburyport, Merrimac and Groveland. Whether an addition is viable often turns on septic capacity or historic review rather than on the build itself, and that differs by town.

Previous Home Addition Projects

We have completed additions that range from modest expansions to full structural changes. Each project is approached with careful planning so the final space blends naturally with the existing home.
Our gallery shows real projects we have completed locally, highlighting quality framing, clean finishes, and thoughtful layouts.
