Preserving the Character of the North Fork

Mattituck is the heart of the North Fork, a place where farmland meets the sound and the bay. Renovating here requires a deep respect for the local environment and an even deeper understanding of the strict local laws.

We understand that the Town of Southold has some of the toughest zoning and environmental restrictions on Long Island.

1. Mastery of Southold Zoning & "Sky Plane" Laws

Mattituck is governed by the Southold Town Building Department, which enforces strict house-size restrictions.
 
  • Zoning & Setbacks: We understand the recently approved legislation regarding "sky plane" restrictions and lot coverage. We ensure your design fits within the legal envelope, preventing costly forced modifications after construction has begun.
 
  • Staged Inspections: We manage the required inspections for footings, framing, and insulation to ensure you get your Certificate of Occupancy (CO) without delay.

2. Mandatory Suffolk County Licensing

  • Legal Protection: All home improvement contractors in Mattituck must be licensed by Suffolk County. Hiring us (License H-55867) gives you access to the Suffolk County Restitution Fund, a safety net that is forfeited if you use unlicensed labor.
 
  • Insurance Verification: We are a fully licensed and insured contracting firm, carrying comprehensive general liability insurance. This ensures that your home is protected from property damage during the project.

3. Coastal & Environmental Resilience

  • Weathering the Elements: Mattituck homes face salt air, high humidity, and hurricane-force winds. We select materials, like fiber cement siding and composite decking, that are proven to withstand the North Fork climate.
 
  • Wetlands Compliance: Projects near the Sound or the Creek often fall into "Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas." We know how to navigate these environmental codes to keep your project compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions by Mattituck Homeowners

──

Do I need a permit for a shed in Mattituck?

In the Town of Southold, even small accessory structures often require permits or zoning compliance checks, especially if they are near property lines or wetlands. We can help verify the specific requirements for your lot.


What is the "Sky Plane" law in Southold Town?

This is a zoning regulation designed to limit the bulk and height of new homes and additions to prevent them from looming over neighbors. It requires precise architectural calculations, which we handle during the design phase.


Can you work on homes near the wetlands?

Yes, but it requires special care. Projects near wetlands usually require approvals from the Town Trustees or environmental conservation departments. We have experience navigating these sensitive permits.


Why is it important to have a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) in Mattituck?

Mattituck properties are high-value investments. If you try to sell your home, missing COs for finished basements or decks can derail the sale or force you to lower the price. We ensure all our work is fully legalized.


How do I avoid contractor scams after a storm?

Always check the Suffolk County Department of Consumer Affairs to verify a license. Be wary of "storm chasers" who knock on your door after a nor'easter. Stick with established local contractors who have a physical presence in the community.
