Roof Framing on Steep Village Rooflines
Many village homes have steep roofs and rafters that are undersized by today's standards. Before a dormer or attic conversion, we check every rafter and add what the roof framing needs.

Reliable Framing Contractor in Brightwaters, NY
Older village homes, careful work: the framing contractor Brightwaters homeowners call for additions, dormers and structural repairs.
Brightwaters is an incorporated village, and it builds like one. Many of the houses near the lakes on Lake Drive go back to the 1920s and 30s, with lumber that's actually two inches thick and framing quirks you only see in older homes. A framing contractor Brightwaters homeowners trust has to respect both.
I'm Vincent Daddio. My company is a house framing contractor and remodeler out of Smithtown, with seven carpenters and a helper on payroll. Framing is the trade I started in, 23 years ago.
Village Permits Come First on Brightwaters Framing Jobs
Brightwaters handles its own building permits through the village, not the Town of Islip. The village pays attention to how additions and exterior changes fit the street, so we plan time for review and build it into your schedule.
Any framing contractor Brightwaters homeowners hire should walk in knowing that. We do.
What we offer
Roof, Wall and Floor Framing Inside Brightwaters' Older Homes
Old houses hide old problems. These are the three we see most.
Wall Framing Behind Plaster and Lath
Opening a plaster wall is messy, and what's behind it isn't always on any plan. Our wall framing work starts with careful demo, then headers and studs sized for what the wall actually carries.
Floor Framing for Level Rooms
A century of settling leaves floors out of level. We sister joists and set new girders so the new floor sits flat.
Preferred Remodeling
Structural and Repair Framing That Respects Brightwaters Character
Structural and repair framing is a big part of the work in an older village. Rotted sills near the water, termite damage, porches that pulled away from the house. We repair it so the outside still looks like it belongs on the street.
When the rough framing is done, our carpenters handle trim and finish carpentry in Brightwaters, matching old profiles where we can.
Brightwaters Additions, Porches and Deck Framing
We frame home additions that match the original rooflines, and handle new construction framing from stamped plans when a lot is being rebuilt, working as the new construction framing contractor from the first sill plate. Basement and garage framing covers finished lower levels and detached garages; see our Brightwaters basement remodeling work for the finish side.
Out back, exterior and deck framing near the water needs treated lumber and good hardware. We frame decks, porch framing on front entries that face the street, and pergola framing over patios.

Good to know
Brightwaters Framing Questions About Permits and Old Houses
Who issues building permits in Brightwaters?
The Incorporated Village of Brightwaters, not the Town of Islip. We'll tell you at the estimate what your job needs.
What should a framing contractor Brightwaters homeowners hire know about older homes?
That lumber sizes, spacing and load paths often don't match modern framing, and that plaster walls hide surprises. We plan for both.
Can you add a dormer that matches my house?
Yes. We frame dormers to match the existing roof pitch and trim so they look original.
Can you fix a sagging porch?
Usually. Most sag comes from rotted posts, beams or sills. We replace what's failed and tie it back to the house properly.
Do you frame detached garages?
Yes, from approved plans.
Will the work bother my neighbors?
We keep a tidy site, park considerately and clean up every day.
