Dormers and Roof Framing for More Bedrooms
Capes have tight second floors. A shed dormer adds real headroom, and roof framing done right keeps the old ridge from sagging under the new load.

Reliable Framing Contractor in Islip, NY
Postwar capes, older Main Street homes and waterfront houses by the creek: the framing contractor Islip homeowners call for additions and dormers.
Islip mixes three building eras in one hamlet. Older homes near Main Street, postwar houses north of Montauk Highway, and waterfront homes down along Champlin Creek and the bay. Each one frames differently, and a framing contractor Islip homeowners hire should see the difference before quoting.
I'm Vincent Daddio. We're a house framing contractor and remodeler with seven carpenters and one helper, working out of Smithtown for 23 years. Our framing work runs from sill plates to ridge boards.
What we offer
Islip Framing Jobs on Postwar Capes and Ranches
North of Montauk Highway, three requests come up most.
Bearing Wall Removal and Wall Framing
Opening the kitchen to the living room means a beam and posts with a clear load path. Our wall framing work uses temporary shoring so nothing moves while the old wall comes out.
Basement and Garage Framing for Extra Rooms
Basement and garage framing adds living space without adding footprint. We frame off the slab, box around ducts and frame proper egress where the code calls for it.
Preferred Remodeling
Material Choices That Matter for Islip Waterfront Framing
Down by Champlin Creek and the bay, the ground is wet and the air is salty. We pick treated lumber for anything near concrete or soil, and corrosion-resistant fasteners and hangers outside. Floor framing over crawlspaces gets extra attention, since that's where moisture does its damage first.
Exterior and deck framing near the water follows the same rules. We frame decks, porch framing and pergola framing over patios with hardware rated for the location.
Islip Additions and New Builds Framed by Our Own Carpenters
We frame home additions, second stories and bump-outs from stamped plans. For homeowners building new, we handle new construction framing as the new construction framing contractor, then stay on for the carpentry that follows.
Structural and repair framing comes up in every era of house: sill rot, termites, sagging girders. We fix what we find and show you before we close it up.
Islip Permits Go Through Town Hall on Main Street
The Town of Islip's Town Hall sits right on Main Street in Islip, so permit questions get answered close to home. Additions, dormers, removed bearing walls and decks all need permits, and framing inspections happen before anything gets covered. Any framing contractor Islip homeowners hire should build that into the schedule from day one, and we do.

Dormers, additions, opened-up kitchens, finished basements and decks. Plus structural repairs once a wall is open.
