General Contractor in Huntington, Suffolk County
Huntington is one of the most active second-story addition markets on Long Island's North Shore. The town covers a wide geography — from Huntington village's historic district down Route 110 to South Huntington and out to Cold Spring Harbor and Lloyd Neck. Lots here are large by Long Island standards, often a half-acre to over an acre, which means homeowners can build up without setback complications. Second-story additions on Huntington's 1960s–1980s ranches and split-levels are the dominant project type, converting 1,400 sq ft single-story homes into 2,600–3,000 sq ft two-story colonials. The Village of Huntington historic district applies additional review for older homes on Main Street and adjacent residential blocks — our permit coordinator Lisa navigates both the Village of Huntington and Town of Huntington Building Department processes. Typical second-story additions in Huntington run $150,000–$220,000 depending on scope; dormer conversions on Cape-style homes run $72,000–$105,000. Frank Albanese has completed over twenty projects in the Huntington township area since 2008, including full second-story additions on South Huntington ranches and historic-district-compliant additions in Huntington village.

Do you build second-story additions in Huntington, NY?
Yes — Huntington is one of our most active Suffolk County markets for second-story additions. Long Island Homeworks holds Nassau County license H-1609230000 (valid in both Nassau and Suffolk) and has completed full second-story additions and dormer conversions on Huntington ranches, splits, and colonials throughout the 11743 zip code and surrounding areas. Projects in Huntington fall under Town of Huntington Building Department jurisdiction — we manage all permits from drawings through final inspection sign-off.
How much does a second-story addition cost in Huntington, NY?
Full second-story additions on Huntington ranches and split-levels typically run $150,000–$220,000 depending on footprint, structural scope, and finish level. Dormer conversions on Cape-style Huntington homes run $72,000–$105,000 with permits included. Homes in the Village of Huntington historic district may require architectural review that adds cost and timeline. Frank provides a fixed-price written contract at the scoping visit.
Do I need a permit for a home addition in Huntington?
Yes. Huntington falls under the Town of Huntington Building Department. Structural additions and second-story builds require a building permit, and properties in the Village of Huntington historic district also require approval from the Village historic review board before a town permit is issued. Lisa, our permit coordinator, handles all filings for both jurisdictions. Typical permit turnaround is 4–10 weeks depending on whether historic review applies.
How long does a Huntington second-story addition take?
Design and Town of Huntington permitting takes 8–16 weeks (longer for historic district properties). Once permits are in hand, a full second-story addition on a Huntington ranch takes 4–6 months to complete. A dormer conversion runs 6–10 weeks from permit issuance. We provide a Gantt chart at the scoping visit with milestone dates.
