Working in Westhampton Beach
Building on the barrier beach side means designing for conditions rather than for a catalog. Elevated homes, exposed decks and constant salt air mean that stainless or hot-dip hardware, proper flashing and the right species or composite are not upgrades — they are the baseline for work that lasts.
Exterior rot repair is a large part of what we do here. Jambs, sills, brickmould, fascia and rake boards fail first, and catching them early usually means a targeted repair rather than a full replacement. We also fix the water path causing the problem, not just the damaged wood.
Decks take the worst of it. We frame with correctly protected joists and flashed ledgers, then finish with composite or a durable hardwood and hidden fasteners so there is nothing to catch a bare foot or corrode in the weather.
