Preserving Oakdale’s Gilded Age & Suburban History

Oakdale is one of the most historically significant pockets on the South Shore, anchored by the Gilded Age grandeur of the former Bourne Mansion (Dowling College) and the whimsical charm of the Artists' Colony.

At J.B.T Contracting LLC, we appreciate the unique character of this neighborhood. We understand that renovating a "storybook-style" cottage in Idle Hour requires a completely different approach than updating a Garrison Colonial or High-Ranch built in the mid-century suburbs.

Whether you are located near the hiking trails of the Connetquot River State Park Preserve or right on the water near The Snapper Inn, we provide the licensed expertise needed to navigate local building codes. We blend modern functionality with the architectural respect these distinct homes deserve.

Renovating for Flood Risk & High Water Tables

Oakdale’s location, where the Connetquot River meets Nicoll Bay, creates a beautiful setting but also a significant flood risk. For homeowners south of Montauk Highway, using the right materials is not just a choice, it’s a necessity.
 
  • Flood-Resilient Materials: When renovating ground floors or basements in high-risk zones, we utilize moisture-resistant materials. This includes installing rigid foam insulation, mold-resistant drywall, and waterproof luxury vinyl flooring that can withstand high humidity and occasional water intrusion better than traditional wood or carpet.
 
  • Coastal Exterior Upgrades: We install rot-proof PVC trim, fiber-cement siding, and stainless steel hardware that can survive the harsh, salty environment near the river.
 
  • Drainage & Masonry: High water tables can wreak havoc on foundations. We design masonry solutions, including elevated patios and proper grading, to help manage surface water and keep it away from your home’s structure.

CUSTOM DESIGN & BUILD

Historic Cottages and Modern Colonials

Our team handles the wide spectrum of housing styles found in Oakdale.
 
  • Artists' Colony Restoration: The semi-attached and standalone cottages in Idle Hour are unique historic treasures. We provide sensitive renovation services to update kitchens, baths, and roofing while preserving the original "carriage house" aesthetic.
 
  • High-Ranch & Garrison Updates: For the Garrison Colonials and Ranches found in the northern parts of the hamlet, we specialize in modernizing layouts. We remove load-bearing walls to create open-concept kitchens and dining areas that suit today’s lifestyle.
 
  • Waterfront Decks & Railings: Maximize your view of the river. We build custom composite decks with cable or glass railing systems that offer unobstructed views while resisting the warping and rotting common with traditional wood decks in this wet environment.
