SERVING THE 11733 COMMUNITY

Preserving the History of the Three Village Area

Setauket is a community with deep roots, home to some of the most significant architecture on Long Island. From the Revolutionary War-era saltbox farmhouses surrounding The Village Green and the historic Caroline Church, to the mid-century Ranches and Split-Levels in the suburban blocks, the housing stock here is diverse.

At J.B.T Contracting LLC, we understand the unique character of this "Three Village" community. Whether you are updating a waterfront estate on the exclusive Strong’s Neck peninsula or modernizing a unit in a luxury 55+ community like The Villas at Setauket, we provide the licensed craftsmanship required to respect the past while building for the future.

NAVIGATING THE HDAC

Historic Compliance and Slope Management

Building in Setauket often means dealing with strict rules and difficult terrain. We have the experience to handle both.

Historic District Advisory Committee (HDAC): For homes in the Old Setauket Historic District, you cannot simply swap out windows or siding. We specialize in securing the required "Certificate of Appropriateness." We source period-accurate materials, like cedar shakes and true-divided-light windows, to ensure your renovation passes committee review without costly delays.

Steep Slope Management: Many properties near the coast or the historic core sit on glacial moraine, leading to steep inclines and runoff issues. We design and build masonry retaining walls and drainage systems that stabilize your land and prevent soil erosion during heavy rains.

Material Sourcing: To match the aesthetic of landmarks like the Emma S. Clark Library, we use high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with the neighborhood, ensuring your home maintains its property value.

CUSTOM DESIGN & BUILD

Restoring Saltboxes and Modernizing Ranches

We tailor our renovation services to the specific era of your home.

Historic Restoration: We are experts in the delicate work required for 17th and 18th-century homes. We restore original wide-plank flooring, repair timber frames, and update mechanical systems carefully to preserve the home's original "bones."

Mid-Century Modernization: For the many Ranches and Split-Levels built in the 1960s, we focus on flow. We remove compartmentalized walls to create open-concept kitchens and dining areas, bringing modern light and space to these sturdy older homes.

Luxury Updates: For newer townhomes and estates, we install high-end finishes like quartz countertops, custom millwork, and spa-like bathrooms that reflect the prestige of the area.
