Once you approve the project, we handle permits and scheduling. We order materials and coordinate any subcontractors before we start, so there aren’t delays waiting for deliveries or additional workers.

What We Handle for You

We take care of the full scope of your home improvement project, from planning through completion. This includes obtaining necessary permits, coordinating inspections, and ensuring all work meets local building codes.

Our services cover kitchen and bathroom renovations, room additions, roofing repairs and replacement, siding installation, deck construction, and general repairs. We also handle the smaller projects that other contractors won’t touch.

For Gardiners Point homes, we’re especially experienced with coastal weather considerations, older home renovations, and working within the area’s specific zoning requirements. We source quality materials that hold up to salt air and seasonal weather changes.

How long do most home improvement projects take to complete?

Timeline depends entirely on the scope of work and permit requirements. A bathroom renovation typically takes 2-3 weeks, while a kitchen remodel runs 4-6 weeks. Room additions can take 8-12 weeks depending on size and complexity. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and update you if anything changes. Weather delays happen, especially in coastal areas, but we build some buffer time into our schedules. The key is honest communication about what to expect rather than promising unrealistic completion dates.

Do you handle permits and inspections for construction projects?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections. This includes pulling building permits, electrical permits, and plumbing permits as needed for your project. We’re familiar with Gardiner’s Point’s specific requirements and have working relationships with local inspectors. Permit costs are included in your project estimate so there are no surprises. We also schedule inspections at the right phases of construction to avoid delays. If an inspector requires changes, we handle those modifications and any reinspections needed.

What happens if you find unexpected problems during construction?

We stop work and explain exactly what we found and what it means for your project. Common issues in older Long Island homes include outdated electrical, plumbing problems, or structural concerns that weren’t visible initially. We give you options for addressing the problem and honest pricing for additional work needed. No work proceeds without your approval of any changes to scope or cost. We document everything with photos and written explanations so you understand what you’re paying for and why it’s necessary.

How do you price projects and handle payment schedules?

We provide detailed written estimates that break down material costs, labor, and timeline. There are no ambiguous line items or unexpected charges. Payment is typically scheduled in phases tied to project milestones—initial deposit, progress payments, and final payment upon completion. We don’t ask for large upfront payments or full payment before work is finished. Material costs are based on current pricing and we absorb normal fluctuations. If you request changes to the original scope, we provide written change orders with pricing before proceeding.

Are you licensed and insured for construction work?

Yes, we maintain current licensing and full insurance coverage, including general liability and workers’ compensation. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project. Our license covers all the general contracting work we perform, and we use licensed subcontractors for specialized trades like electrical and plumbing when needed. Insurance protects both you and us if accidents happen on your property. We also ensure any subcontractors we bring in carry their own insurance coverage.

Do you work on older homes common in the Gardiners Point area?

Older home renovation is a big part of what we do on Long Island. These homes often have unique challenges like knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, or structural modifications made over decades. We know how to work with existing systems and bring things up to the current code safely. We’re also experienced with maintaining the character of older homes while adding modern functionality. Such expertise includes working with original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and architectural details that need to be preserved during renovation.
