Hi-ranches, capes and split-levels: the remodeling contractor Baywood homeowners hire for kitchens, lower levels and additions, run by the owner.
Ask around Baywood and half the people will tell you they live in Bay Shore, because that's what the mail says. The houses are easier to pin down. Most went up in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and after 23 years of remodeling I could sketch most Baywood floor plans from memory.
Preferred Remodeling & Construction Co. is an owner-run crew out of Smithtown: seven carpenters, one helper, and me, Vincent Daddio. We are the remodeling contractor Baywood families can call for one room or the whole house, and we keep the job site clean while we're there.
The hi-ranch is the house a remodeling contractor Baywood homeowners hire will see most. Half the living space sits partly below grade, and that lower level is usually where the opportunity is.
The lower level of a Baywood hi-ranch is often unfinished or stuck in 1975 paneling. Proper insulation, a real ceiling and good egress turn it into a den or guest suite. Our Baywood basement remodeling starts with checking for moisture at the slab and the rim joist.
Upstairs, the kitchen is boxed in between the living room and the bedroom hall. Taking a wall out changes everything. We confirm the load first, then handle kitchen remodeling for Baywood homes from demo through trim.
Many of these houses have a full bath up and a half bath down, both original. We redo them one at a time so you always have a working bathroom. Bathroom remodeling in Baywood gets real ventilation and moisture-rated board every time.
Many Baywood lots leave some room to build out back or over the garage. We build home additions off the back of a ranch or on top of an attached garage, and we take on Whole Home Remodeling when a house hasn't been touched since the first owners.
If a Home Renovation needs to happen in stages, we plan it that way. Flooring Installation, doors and trim usually follow the bigger work, and the same carpenters carry it through.
Original aluminum siding and single-pane windows are still common on Baywood streets. Our carpenters do window replacement with new trim and flashing so the openings stay tight. For new siding, I'll lay out which parts my crew handles and which go to a specialty installer.
Out back, Deck Building and Patio Construction are popular once the inside is done. A deck off the upper level of a hi-ranch needs proper footings and a solid ledger connection, and we build it that way.
Cabinet Installation is where carpentry skill shows. Fifty-year-old floors and walls are never square, so we scribe and shim until the doors line up. For built-ins and storage, our custom cabinetry is built to fit the room you actually have.
Structural work in Baywood is permitted through the Town of Islip. We tell you at the estimate whether your project needs a permit, and we plan the schedule around it.
It's simple. We return every call within 24 hours, quotes go out within three days, and the people in your house are my own carpenters. We hold contractor's license 46440-H. When we leave for the day, the site is swept and the tools are put away.

Most often the lower level or the kitchen. The lower level has the most unused space, and the kitchen is usually the most closed in.
