Frequently Asked Questions by Jamesport Homeowners

──

Do I need a permit for a deck in Jamesport?

Yes. The Town of Riverhead requires decks to meet specific structural codes. We build strictly to these standards to ensure your outdoor space is safe and compliant.


What is a Flood Elevation Certificate?

If your home is in a flood zone (common near the Bay), the Town requires this certificate to prove that your renovations or new construction are elevated enough to be safe from flooding.


Can I renovate my home if it is in the "Hamlet Center"?

Yes, but you may need to follow specific design guidelines that encourage the use of natural-looking materials (like wood, brick, or stucco styles) to maintain the historic character of Jamesport. We can guide you through these design choices.


Why is it important to check a contractor's license?

Hiring an unlicensed contractor is illegal and risky. If they leave the work unfinished, you have no recourse through the Suffolk County Restitution Fund. Always verify the license number before hiring.


Does Riverhead Town require a CO for finished basements?

Yes. Finishing a basement without a permit is a common violation that can stop a future home sale. We can help you legalize existing work or build it correctly from the start to ensure you get your Certificate of Occupancy.
