Local General Contractor Northwest Harbor

We Know Northwest Harbor Construction

Rich’s Construction has been serving Northwest Harbor and the surrounding East Hampton area for years. We understand the specific challenges of building and renovating in a coastal environment where salt air, humidity, and weather patterns demand the right materials and techniques.

We’re licensed, insured, and locally owned. That means when you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community, not a call center three states away.

You’ll find our trucks in driveways throughout Northwest Harbor because neighbors recommend us to neighbors. That’s how we’ve built our reputation, one quality project at a time.

Our Construction Process

Here's How Your Project Unfolds

First, we come to your property for a thorough consultation. We listen to what you want to accomplish, assess the space, and discuss your timeline and budget. No pressure, just honest conversation about what’s realistic and what’s possible.

Next, we provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before we start. If you decide to move forward, we handle all permits and scheduling.

During construction, we keep you informed about progress and any decisions that need your input. We clean up at the end of each day because we respect your home and your neighbors. When we’re finished, we walk through everything together to make sure you’re completely satisfied with the work.

General Contractor Services Northwest Harbor

What's Included in Our Services

Our general contractor services cover everything from small repairs to complete home renovations. Kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, room additions, deck construction, siding replacement, and interior renovations are all part of what we do regularly in Northwest Harbor.

We handle the permits, coordinate with inspectors, and make sure everything meets local building codes. You don’t have to worry about the paperwork or wonder if something was done correctly.

Every project includes quality materials chosen specifically for Long Island’s coastal environment. We’ve learned over the years which products hold up best against salt air and seasonal weather changes. That knowledge saves you money in the long run because you’re not replacing or repairing work that should have lasted longer.

Timeline depends on the scope of work, but most kitchen renovations take 3-4 weeks, bathroom remodels take 2-3 weeks, and room additions can take 6-8 weeks. Weather can affect exterior work, especially during winter months. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is proper planning and having materials on-site before we start, which prevent delays.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate with local inspectors throughout your project. This includes building permits, electrical permits, and plumbing permits when needed. We know East Hampton’s requirements and have working relationships with the local building department. You don’t need to worry about paperwork or scheduling inspections – we take care of all of that as part of our service.
Salt air, humidity, and seasonal weather patterns require specific materials and techniques. We use marine-grade hardware, moisture-resistant materials, and proper ventilation systems designed for coastal environments. Regular materials that work fine inland can fail quickly near the water. We’ve learned which products last longest in this climate and factor that into every project we do in Northwest Harbor.
Yes, we’re fully licensed as a general contractor in New York State and carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project. This protects you from liability if someone gets hurt on your property and ensures the work meets professional standards. Never hire an unlicensed contractor – it can create serious problems with permits, insurance claims, and resale value.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. If we encounter unexpected issues like hidden water damage or outdated electrical that needs updating, we stop work and discuss options with you before proceeding. No surprises on your final bill. Sometimes older homes reveal problems once we open walls, but we handle these situations transparently and give you choices about how to proceed.
We serve Northwest Harbor, East Hampton, Springs, Amagansett, and the surrounding areas of eastern Long Island. Our local focus means shorter travel times, better response for follow-up service, and deep knowledge of local building requirements. We prefer to work within a reasonable distance of our base because it allows us to provide better service and competitive pricing without excessive travel costs.
