1. Mastery of Town of Brookhaven Codes

Miller Place falls under the jurisdiction of the Town of Brookhaven Building Division, known for its rigorous requirements.
 
  • Securing Your CO: A missing Certificate of Occupancy (CO) can kill a future home sale. We manage all staged town inspections to ensure your CO is issued without delay.
 
  • Zoning Adherence: We ensure all additions meet the specific side-yard setback requirements common in Miller Place residential districts.

2. Legal Protection & The Restitution Fund

Hiring a licensed contractor like Taurus Contracting (Suffolk License H-55867) offers you protections that unlicensed "handymen" cannot.
 
  • Restitution Fund: By hiring us, you are protected by the Suffolk County Restitution Fund, which can compensate you if a contractor fails to complete work. This safety net is strictly unavailable if you hire unlicensed labor.
 
  • Fully Insured for Your Protection: 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. Built for the North Shore Environment

  • Market Knowledge: We understand the specific soil conditions and coastal weather patterns of the North Shore. We select materials that resist salt air and moisture, ensuring your siding and decking lasts for decades.
 
  • Avoiding "Storm Chasers": After severe weather, out-of-town scammers often target our area. We are a local, established firm with a physical presence, not a storm chaser.

Frequently Asked Questions by Miller Place Homeowners

──

Do I need a permit for a finished basement in Miller Place?

Yes. The Town of Brookhaven requires a building permit for finishing a basement. This ensures fire safety (egress windows), proper ceiling height, and safe electrical work.


How do I know if a contractor is licensed in Suffolk County?

You can verify a license with the Suffolk County Department of Consumer Affairs. You should also check the "Suffolk County Wall of Shame" to ensure a contractor hasn't been flagged for fraud. We are fully licensed and happy to provide proof upon request.


What happens if I sell my house and I don't have a CO for my deck?

It can delay or kill your sale. The buyer's bank often will not approve a mortgage for a home with open violations. We can help you "legalize" existing structures by bringing them up to code and filing for a retroactive permit.


Why is it risky to hire an unlicensed contractor?

Beyond poor workmanship, it is a violation of county law. More importantly, if they are injured on your property, you can be sued for their medical bills. Hiring a licensed pro like Taurus protects you from this liability
