1. Expertise in Southold Town Zoning & "Double Fees"

Cutchogue is governed by the Southold Town Building Department, which enforces strict codes.
 
  • Avoid the "Double Fee" Penalty: Did you know that if construction starts without a permit in Southold, all associated permit fees are automatically doubled?
 
  • The "Sky Plane" Law: We understand Southold’s "sky plane" restrictions that limit house bulk, ensuring your addition is designed legally from day one.

3. Coastal & Environmental Resilience

  • Waterfront Regulations (LWRP): Cutchogue lies between the Great Peconic Bay and the Sound. Projects near the water often must meet Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) standards. We have experience navigating these complex environmental approvals.
 
  • Durable Materials: We select premium materials that withstand the salt air and high humidity of the North Fork without constant maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions by Cutchogue Homeowners

──

Can you renovate a house in the "Agricultural Preservation" zone?

Yes, but strict rules apply to non-agricultural structures. We know how to work within Southold’s agricultural zoning to deliver residential upgrades that don't violate land preservation covenants.


What is the penalty for building without a permit in Southold?

The most immediate penalty is the Double Fee rule, you will pay 2x the standard cost for the permit. Additionally, the Town can issue a Stop Work Order or force you to remove the structure entirely.


How do I protect my waterfront home from storms?

We recommend impact-rated windows and fiber cement siding for homes near the Bay or Sound. These materials resist wind-borne debris and salt corrosion much better than standard wood or vinyl.


Are you licensed to work in Cutchogue?

Yes. We hold a valid Suffolk County Home Improvement License (H-55867), which allows us to work in all hamlets within the Town of Southold, including Cutchogue, Mattituck, and Peconic.
