Structural and Repair Framing for Old Sills and Posts
Sills sitting close to the ground rot. Posts settle. Structural and repair framing replaces the bad wood and ties new framing into the old frame without tearing the house apart.
Old farmhouses on Beaver Dam Road, newer homes on wide lots: the framing contractor Brookhaven homeowners call for additions, porches and structural repair.
Brookhaven hamlet surprises people. It's not where the Lab is; that's Upton. It's a quiet South Shore hamlet by the Carmans River, with old farmhouses along Beaver Dam Road and South Country Road and newer homes on big lots. A framing contractor Brookhaven homeowners hire has to handle both.
I'm Vincent Daddio. I run a house framing contractor and remodeling company out of Smithtown with seven carpenters and one helper, 23 years in. Framing is the trade I started in.
Older Brookhaven houses were built with heavy timbers, hand-cut joints and a few additions nobody planned. Three framing jobs come up most.

We jack, sister and shim old floor joists so new floors sit flat without fighting the house.
New rooflines have to meet old ones at the same pitch. Our roof framing ties additions into the original roof so the house reads as one building.

Big lots mean big outdoor projects. Exterior and deck framing here covers wraparound porches, back decks and outbuildings. We frame decks on footings below the frost line, porch framing that suits a farmhouse, and pergola framing over patios.
Near the river and the Wertheim refuge, wet ground is a given. Treated lumber and corrosion-resistant hardware go into everything outside.
We frame home additions from stamped plans, and handle new construction framing for homeowners building on their land, working as the new construction framing contractor from the first sill plate. Basement and garage framing covers finished lower levels, detached garages and workshops.
For lower-level projects, see our Brookhaven basement remodeling page.
Permits for Brookhaven hamlet come from the Town of Brookhaven at Town Hall in Farmingville. If your house sits in the historic district, exterior changes can need extra review. Any framing contractor Brookhaven homeowners hire should plan for that time, and we do.
Wall framing inside old houses gets the same patience. We open walls carefully, note what's there, and frame changes so the old structure stays sound.

No, the Lab is in Upton. Brookhaven hamlet is on the South Shore by the Carmans River, and it's in our service area.
That timber sizes, joinery and load paths don't match modern framing, and that additions from different eras are often tied together loosely. We plan around both.
