Our shop is in Smithtown, so we are the framing contractor Smithtown homeowners can have on site first thing in the morning, with our own carpenters doing the work.
I'm Vincent Daddio. I started as a carpenter 23 years ago and still think like one, which is why framing is the part of a job I watch most closely. As a framing contractor Smithtown has known for two decades, we frame additions, dormers, garages and decks with seven carpenters of our own and one helper.
A good house framing contractor knows everything else on a house hangs on the frame. Get it plumb, level and square, and the drywall, cabinets and trim go in clean. Get it wrong, and every trade after you pays for it.
A lot of the calls a framing contractor Smithtown homeowners hire gets come down to three requests.
Smithtown capes from the 1950s and 60s have tight upstairs rooms under steep roofs. A shed or gable dormer turns that knee-wall space into real bedrooms. Roof framing on a dormer means new rafters, properly sized headers and a ridge that ties back into the old roof without a sag.
Splits and hi-ranches around town usually have a bearing wall between the kitchen and living room. Taking it out means a beam, posts and a load path down to the foundation. That is carpentry, and it's what we do.
Older floors sag, bounce or slope. We sister joists, add blocking and set new beams so the floor under your new kitchen stays flat for good.
When a family outgrows the house, we frame the home addition from the sill plate to the ridge. We also take on new construction framing for homeowners building on their own lot, working as the new construction framing contractor from the architect's stamped plans.
Smithtown permits go through the Town Building Department on West Main Street, and if you live in the Village of the Branch, the village handles its own. Inspectors want to see the framing before anything covers it, so we schedule around that inspection from day one.
Our framing services page has the full list of what we build.
Basement and garage framing is steady work in town. Finished lower levels need straight stud walls kept off the concrete, with soffits around the ductwork. Garage conversions need new walls, a raised floor and a proper header where the door used to be. See how we approach basement remodeling in Smithtown.
Then there is structural and repair framing: rotted sills, termite damage, a joist somebody notched for a pipe in 1972. We open it up, show you what we found, and fix it right.
Exterior and deck framing has to stand up to weather, and the houses near the Nissequogue River and the harbor get plenty of it. We set footings below the frost line, flash the ledger, and frame decks that stay solid. Porch framing and pergola framing round out the outdoor work, usually in spring.
Smithtown is home. When something comes up on your job, I'm a few minutes away, not an hour. Calls come back within 24 hours, quotes go out within three days, and we work under contractor's license 46440-H. My carpenters also handle the trim and finish carpentry in Smithtown that follows the framing, so one crew owns the whole result.

For additions, dormers, removed bearing walls and new decks, yes. The Town of Smithtown issues most permits, and incorporated villages like the Village of the Branch handle their own. We tell you at the estimate what your job needs.
Additions, dormers, garage conversions, decks, porches and the structural repairs nobody sees once the walls close. Everything that holds the house up.
Yes. We install a beam sized for the load, engineered when the town requires it, carry it down to the foundation with posts, and get it inspected before the wall gets closed back up.
Yes. For additions and new construction we frame from stamped plans, and we flag anything on the drawings that won't work in the field before we cut a board.
Usually. Sistering joists, adding blocking or setting a new beam takes care of most of them.
