General Contractor in Dix Hills, Suffolk County
Dix Hills is one of Long Island's most affluent hamlet communities — a half-hollow area in the Town of Huntington characterized by wooded lots of one to three acres, custom-built colonials and contemporaries from the 1970s through the 2000s, and consistently strong real estate values in the Half Hollow Hills school district. Home additions in Dix Hills tend toward premium scope: expanded primary suites, bonus room dormers, full in-law wings with separate entrances, and occasionally whole-house second-story additions on original single-story contemporary designs. Permitting in Dix Hills falls under the Town of Huntington Building Department. Larger lot sizes and generous setbacks mean most Dix Hills projects do not run into the zoning constraints common in denser Nassau communities. Frank Albanese has completed custom addition projects throughout Dix Hills, including second-story additions on ranch-style contemporaries and rear wing additions on colonials along Half Hollow Road and Deer Park Road. Typical project scope in Dix Hills runs $160,000–$280,000 for major additions. No travel surcharge from our Hicksville base.
