How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and actually look at what you want done. We listen to what you need, assess the space, and give you a realistic timeline and budget. No ballpark estimates or vague promises.

Then we provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. You know exactly what you’re paying for and when each phase will happen. No surprise costs or change orders unless you request additional work.

During construction, we keep the job site clean and organized. We show up when scheduled, communicate any issues immediately, and keep you informed about progress. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we’re there Tuesday morning.

What We Handle For You

We handle everything from small repairs that have been bugging you for months to major renovations that transform how you live. Kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions, deck construction, siding and roofing work, interior renovations.

The North Fork presents unique challenges—salt air, seasonal weather changes, older homes with quirky construction. We know how to work with these conditions, not against them. We use materials that hold up to coastal weather and techniques that account for settling and seasonal movement.

Every project includes proper permits, inspections, and cleanup. You don’t have to worry about code compliance or dealing with town offices. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on enjoying the results.

Timeline depends on the scope, but we give you realistic expectations upfront. A bathroom remodel typically takes 2-3 weeks, kitchen renovations 4-6 weeks, and room additions 6-12 weeks depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect exterior work, especially during winter months. We build buffer time into schedules and communicate any delays immediately. The key is setting realistic expectations from the start rather than promising unrealistic timelines that create frustration later.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and scheduling inspections with the town. This includes building permits, electrical permits, and any other approvals required for your project. We know the local requirements in Cutchogue and surrounding North Fork communities, which helps avoid delays and ensures everything meets code. You don’t need to worry about dealing with town offices or understanding building codes—we manage that entire process as part of our service.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—materials, labor, timeline, and any potential variables. No vague line items or hidden costs. If changes come up during the project, we discuss them with you before proceeding and provide written change orders. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re transparent about costs upfront so you can make informed decisions. Quality materials and proper techniques cost more initially but save money long-term through durability and fewer repairs.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We provide proof of insurance before starting any project and ensure all work meets New York State building codes and local Cutchogue requirements. This protects both you and us during construction. We also pull proper permits for all work requiring them, ensuring your project is legally compliant and won’t create issues if you sell your home later.
We maintain clean, organized job sites throughout the project. Daily cleanup is part of our process—we don’t leave debris scattered around your property or track mud through your house. During renovation work, we use plastic sheeting and protective coverings to contain dust and debris in work areas. Final cleanup includes removing all construction materials, cleaning work surfaces, and doing a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations before considering the job complete.
Absolutely. We understand construction disrupts your daily routine, so we work with you to minimize inconvenience. This might mean scheduling noisy work during specific hours, ensuring bathroom access during remodels, or coordinating around important family events. We discuss your schedule and priorities during planning and adjust our approach accordingly. Communication is key—we keep you informed about daily activities and any schedule changes so you can plan around the work.
