1. Complex Jurisdictional & Village-Specific Codes

We determine exactly which regulations apply to your home:
 
  • Village of Westhampton Beach: If you are within the Village, stricter rules apply. Most structural, electrical, and plumbing alterations require a permit. This includes specific requirements for fences, gates, and even some in-kind renovations.
 
  • Town of Southampton: Properties in unincorporated Westhampton fall under the Southampton Town Building Department, which mandates permits for structures over 50 square feet.
 
  • Professional Execution: Applications in the Village often require work to follow precise architectural details. We work seamlessly with your architect or expeditor to ensure the physical build matches the approved design exactly.

2. Legal Protections & Licensing

We hold the necessary licenses to work legally in your area, including the Town of Southampton Home Improvement License.
 
  • Dual Licensing: We hold a valid Suffolk County License (H-55867) and a Town of Southampton Home Improvement License.
 
  • Restitution Fund: Hiring a licensed pro gives you access to the Suffolk County Restitution Fund, a financial safety net that is strictly unavailable if you hire unlicensed labor.

3. Protecting Property & Resale Value

  • Architectural Review Board (ARB): Many projects in Westhampton Beach must be referred to the ARB. We understand the aesthetic standards required to get your design approved.
 
  • Securing the CO: A building cannot legally be sold or occupied without a valid Certificate of Occupancy (CO). We manage the staged inspections required to secure this document, ensuring your renovation is a true asset.

Frequently Asked Questions by Westhampton Homeowners

──

What is the "75 mph" wind standard?

This refers to the wind load rating required for windows and doors in certain coastal zones. Using standard residential windows often leads to failed inspections. We install products rated for South Shore storms.


Does my renovation need to go before the Architectural Review Board (ARB)?

If you are in the Village and making exterior changes, there is a high likelihood you will need ARB approval. We prepare the necessary drawings and samples to present to the board.


Are you licensed to work in Westhampton?

Yes. We hold both a Suffolk County License (H-55867) and the required Town of Southampton Home Improvement License, allowing us to work in both the Village and the Town.


What are "breakaway walls"?

In FEMA flood zones, ground-level walls are often required to be "breakaway"—meaning they give way under wave force without collapsing the main structure of the house. We are experienced in this specialized framing.
