Millhawlk is a construction company providing design-build services in Natick for custom homes, additions, decks, ADUs, and full remodels. We keep architecture, engineering, and construction under one roof, so you work with a single team instead of coordinating an architect, a contractor, and a permit expeditor separately. We are fully licensed in Massachusetts (HIC #208969, CSL #CS-118741) and back all completed work with a lifetime workmanship warranty. Call (774) 300-2972 for a free consultation.
Natick sits in a specific spot in MetroWest. It has a commuter rail line running through it, a housing stock that spans from pre-1900 to new construction, and a permitting process that has been actively rewritten over the past two years around accessory dwelling units. A local construction company that works here regularly has to know all three.
Millhawlk does. We are based in Framingham and work throughout Natick, and we run architecture, structural engineering, and construction as one in-house team. When a plan runs into a zoning limit or a wall turns out to be load-bearing, the resolution happens between people who already work together, not across three separate contracts.

Deck builders and deck contractors specializing in custom decks, patios, and outdoor living spaces from design to deck installation, using quality materials and offering lasting craftsmanship.
ADUs. This is the project type where Natick’s rules matter most, and where a construction company working without local knowledge gets homeowners into trouble. We handle the zoning analysis first, then the design, then the permit sequence through all reviewing departments.
Additions. Ground-level bump-outs, single-story additions, and second-story builds. In Greater Boston, additions commonly run $300 to $650 per square foot, with most projects landing between $350 and $500. Second-story additions often deliver better value per square foot because the foundation and roof are shared across two floors.
Full remodels. Gut renovations of older Natick homes, where scope is not fully known until walls are open.
One team, one contract. Most projects involve three separate contracts: architect, structural engineer, and general contractor. When drawings and field conditions disagree, the homeowner becomes the messenger. Millhawlk holds all three in-house under a single contract, so when a beam has to move or a wall turns out to be load-bearing, the conversation happens between two people who already work together, and it happens before the crew leaves the site. You get one project lead accountable for schedule, budget, and quality, and one person to call with questions. Our structural engineer also reviews architectural drawings while they are still drawings, which is when problems are cheap to fix — an addition that needs a steel beam instead of a wood one is a design change before permitting and a change order after framing.
Licensed and warranted, with the paperwork to prove it. We hold HIC #208969 and CSL #CS-118741, both current and searchable through the state’s public lookup. We warranty our workmanship for as long as you own the home — not a one-year callback window and not a manufacturer’s warranty on materials only. That commitment shapes how we build, because a mistake we make is a mistake we own permanently, and it is why we are selective about which trades we put on your project.
We know Natick’s permitting process from the inside. Natick runs its own building department and coordinates ADU review across the Building Commissioner, Community & Economic Development, DPW, Fire, Health, and Police. We pull permits here regularly, which means we know the submission requirements, the review sequence, the inspection stages, and the common reasons an application gets sent back. That knowledge shows up as fewer revision cycles and a schedule that holds, and it means we know which dimensional rules apply to your lot — a detached ADU within 10 feet of a property line has a different height limit than one further away, and parking requirements change inside the half-mile commuter rail radius. The median Natick home is 58 years old, and opening a wall in those houses regularly reveals knob-and-tube wiring, undersized joists, no vapor barrier, and prior additions framed to a code that no longer applies. We plan for those conditions as a normal part of scope.

Yes. A single ADU is allowed as of right, subject to site plan review. It cannot exceed half the gross floor area of the principal dwelling or 900 square feet, whichever is smaller. More than one ADU requires a special permit.
It depends on location. Natick cannot require off-street parking for an ADU within a half mile of an MBTA Commuter Rail station. Outside that radius, one off-street space is required.
A residential building permit is $20 per $1,000 of construction cost with a $55 minimum. An ADU application review carries a separate $500 fee.
Design and permitting typically take several weeks to a few months depending on scope and review. Construction on a mid-size addition commonly runs a few months after permits are issued.
Yes. The median Natick home is 58 years old, which means we plan for outdated wiring, undersized framing, and no vapor barrier as normal scope.
