Home Addition Contractor in Scarsdale, NY

Why Scarsdale
“We run a zoning feasibility check against Scarsdale's specific lot coverage and setback rules before design work starts, since what's allowed varies meaningfully by character area within the village.”

General Construction & Additions in Scarsdale - Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Add a Second Story to My Scarsdale Home?
It depends on the property's zoning district, lot coverage, and remaining buildable area. We run a feasibility check against Scarsdale's specific rules before design work starts.
Does an Addition in Scarsdale Need Board of Architectural Review Approval?
Many exterior additions do, especially in designated character areas. We confirm whether your project needs that review in addition to the standard village building permit.
How Long Does a Home Addition Take in Scarsdale?
A typical addition takes four to seven months from permit filing to certificate of occupancy, depending on the scope and Board of Architectural Review scheduling if that applies.
Can You Build a New Home on a Scarsdale Teardown Lot?
Yes, ground-up construction on a teardown lot is work we take on in Scarsdale, starting with a zoning feasibility review before any design work is proposed.
