1. Navigating Quogue-Specific Village Regulations

The Village of Quogue has standards that differ significantly from surrounding areas.
 
  • Design Review Board (DRB): Almost any exterior alteration or new building must be approved by the DRB. We ensure your design is "compatible with the neighborhood," handling the detailed elevations and renderings required for approval.
 
  • Permit Necessity: Permits are mandatory for a wide range of work, including fences, docks, bulkheads, and even sheds or hot tubs. We manage these filings to ensure you are compliant.
 
  • Coastal Construction Standards: For projects near the ocean or bay, we specialize in building complex projects that meet strict CEHA (Coastal Erosion Hazard Area) construction requirements.

2. Mandatory Licensing & Legal Protections

Quogue requires contractors to hold a specific license. Working without one is a violation of village code punishable by fines or imprisonment.
 
  • Town of Southampton License: We hold the required Town of Southampton Home Improvement License in addition to our Suffolk County license.

Frequently Asked Questions by Quogue Homeowners

──

Do I need a permit for a hot tub in Quogue?

Yes. The Village of Quogue requires specific safety barriers and installation standards for hot tubs. We ensure your installation is fully code-compliant.


What is the Design Review Board (DRB)?

The DRB reviews exterior changes to ensure they fit the character of the neighborhood. If you are changing your siding, adding a wing, or building new, we must present the design to them for approval.


Are you licensed to work in Quogue?

Yes. We hold the mandatory Town of Southampton Home Improvement License, which allows us to work legally within the Village of Quogue.

This is a standard requirement for permits in Quogue. It means our insurance policy extends coverage to the Village for any liability related to our work on your property.
