Smithtown is our home base. We are located at 70 Laurel Drive, and we have been doing home repair work in this town for over 23 years. We know the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the specific problems that come up in Smithtown homes. From the older colonials off Landing Avenue to the split-levels near St. James and the ranches tucked into the neighborhoods north of Route 25A, we have worked in them all. Preferred Remodeling & Construction Co. is a women-owned business that started as a one-man operation and grew into a crew of seven carpenters, all of it built on work done right here in Smithtown.
Smithtown sits in a part of Suffolk County where the soil has a high clay content in certain areas, particularly around the Nissequogue River corridor. Clay-heavy ground shifts with the seasons, and that movement works its way into the structure of older homes over time. You see it in sticking doors, cracked drywall along ceiling lines, and windows that no longer close flush. General home repair in Smithtown often traces back to that kind of gradual movement, and addressing it correctly means understanding what is driving the problem, not just fixing what is visible.

Featured Home Repair Services in Smithtown
Carpentry and Door Repair Services in Smithtown
Doors that stick, frames that have pulled away from the wall, and trim that has separated from the surface are all common in Smithtown's older housing stock. Our carpentry work addresses these problems at the source. Door repair services in Smithtown range from simple adjustments to full frame replacement when the underlying structure has shifted enough to make adjustment alone insufficient. We do not just plane a door and call it done if the frame itself is the problem.
Window Repair Services and Exterior Home Repair in Smithtown
Smithtown's winters put consistent stress on window assemblies. Frames swell, seals fail, and older aluminum windows lose their ability to close and lock securely. Our window repair services address all of it, from rope replacement in double-hung windows in older homes to seal repair and hardware replacement in newer units. We also handle exterior home repair work, including siding repair on homes where wind-driven rain has gotten behind the cladding over multiple seasons.
Drywall Repair Services and Floor Repair Services in Smithtown
Drywall repair services are one of our most consistent calls in Smithtown, particularly in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s where the original joint compound has been through decades of seasonal movement. We handle patch repairs, ceiling repairs, and full panel replacement when the damage goes deeper. Floor repair services in Smithtown include wood flooring repair on the original hardwood floors that are common in older Smithtown homes, addressing gaps, squeaks, and sections that have buckled from moisture over the years.
Deck Repair and Patio Repair in Smithtown
Decks and patios in Smithtown take a beating from the freeze-thaw cycle every winter. Deck repair in older structures often involves replacing individual boards, addressing post bases that have rotted at ground level, and reinforcing ledger connections. Patio repair typically involves resetting pavers that have shifted or addressing cracked concrete that has been heaved by frost. We handle both and bring the same attention to the structural side as we do to the surface.
Why Smithtown Homeowners Have Relied on Preferred Remodeling for Over Two Decades
We have been doing home improvement repair in Smithtown since before most of the newer neighborhoods east of Hauppauge Road were fully developed. We have seen the housing stock age, we have watched the same problems show up in the same types of homes decade after decade, and we have gotten very good at addressing them efficiently.
Our crew is fully in-house. We are licensed and insured in New York State, and we do not use subcontractors to complete jobs we have committed to. When you call us for home repair services, the same crew that gives you the estimate is the crew that does the work. That consistency matters more than most homeowners realize until they have dealt with a contractor who operates differently.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if a sticking door in my Smithtown home needs repair or replacement?
Most sticking doors in Smithtown homes are a repair situation, not a replacement. The cause is usually seasonal wood movement or foundation settling that has shifted the frame out of square. We assess whether the frame can be adjusted or whether the damage is significant enough that replacement is the more cost-effective long-term option. We will tell you honestly which it is.
Do you handle wood flooring repair in older Smithtown homes?
Yes. Wood flooring repair is a regular part of our work in Smithtown, particularly in homes from the 1950s through 1970s that have original oak or maple floors. We address squeaks, gaps, buckled sections, and surface damage. Whether the repair requires board replacement or surface work, we approach it to match the existing floor as closely as possible.
What does exterior home repair include for a Smithtown house?
Exterior home repair in Smithtown covers siding repair, trim replacement, soffit and fascia work, deck repair, patio repair, and other maintenance items that affect the outside of the home. We assess the full exterior when we come out and flag anything that looks like it will become a larger problem if left unaddressed.
How do you approach cabinet repair versus full cabinet replacement?
Cabinet repair is the right call when the box is structurally sound but hardware, doors, or drawer fronts have failed. If the box itself has water damage or has racked significantly, replacement usually makes more sense. We give an honest assessment at the estimate and do not push replacement if repair is the better value.
Do you do home repair near me in Smithtown on Saturdays?
Yes. Our Saturday hours are 9am to 1pm. We handle estimate visits and lighter repair work on Saturdays throughout Smithtown and the surrounding area. Call 631-543-2600 to schedule.
What causes drywall cracking along ceiling lines in Smithtown homes?
Cracking along ceiling-wall joints is very common in Smithtown homes built on clay-heavy soil. The soil moves seasonally, the house responds, and the ceiling joint absorbs that movement. Drywall repair services for this type of cracking involve more than a simple re-tape. The cause needs to be accounted for in how the repair is executed so it does not open again within a season.
Can you handle home restoration services after water damage in a Smithtown home?
Yes. Home restoration services after water damage cover the drywall repair, floor repair, cabinet repair, and carpentry work that follows a leak or flooding event. We assess the full scope of what was affected and work through it systematically. We do not patch the visible damage and leave the underlying issues for the homeowner to discover later.
