Remodeling Contractor in Pleasantville, NY

Westchester Home Remodeling Service Serving Pleasantville

Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, second-story additions and whole-house updates for Pleasantville’s walkable village neighborhoods and the surrounding Town of Mount Pleasant.

Village Houses With Room to Grow

Pleasantville is a small, walkable village around its downtown and Metro-North station. Much of the housing dates from the 1920s through the 1950s: Tudors, colonials, capes and bungalows on modest lots, close enough together that a remodel affects the neighbors as well as the house.

That shapes the work. Families here usually want more space without leaving the neighborhood, so the common projects are second-story additions, finished basements, opened-up kitchens and an extra bathroom. Lots are small, so we plan deliveries, dumpsters and work hours with the street in mind.

Older homes bring the usual pre-war issues, including plaster, knob-and-tube remnants, small electrical services and steel or galvanized pipes. We find them early, so they’re in the estimate rather than a surprise change order.

Pleasantville Remodeling FAQs

Who issues building permits in Pleasantville?

Inside the Village of Pleasantville, the Village Building Department at 80 Wheeler Avenue issues permits and certificates of occupancy. Some homes with a Pleasantville mailing address are outside the village in the Town of Mount Pleasant, which has its own building department, so we confirm your jurisdiction first.

Will my house go to the Board of Architectural Review?

In Pleasantville, the Planning Commission also serves as the Board of Architectural Review. Detached one- and two-family houses are generally not referred to it, except in the Special Character Overlay District or in newer subdivisions, where exterior changes such as siding, windows, roofing and paint colors are reviewed.

Can you add a second floor to a Pleasantville cape?

Often, yes. Capes and small colonials are common candidates for a full or partial second story. We have an engineer confirm the foundation and framing can carry the new load, and we check zoning height and floor-area limits before design.

Is Pleasantville in a flood zone?

Most of the village is not, but the Village does administer flood damage prevention and wetlands permits for affected properties. We check the FEMA map and Village records for your lot before planning an addition or basement.

We also work in neighboring Chappaqua, Briarcliff Manor, Mount Kisco and Ossining.
