General Contractor in Brewster, NY
Westchester & Putnam General Contracting Service Serving Brewster
Whole-house renovations, kitchens, baths, roofing and siding in the Village of Brewster, managed by one Guardian project manager from permit to final inspection.
Renovating in Putnam's Densest Village
Brewster grew up around the railroad depot after Walter and James Brewster bought farmland here in 1848, and it incorporated in 1894. It is still the most densely settled place in Putnam County, with older frame houses close together on and near Main Street.
Houses like these rarely need just one thing. A kitchen update reveals old wiring, a bathroom job turns up a soft subfloor, and the roof and siding are due at the same time. A general contractor ties it all into one plan, one schedule and one budget.

One Point of Contact
When Guardian is your general contractor, you are not juggling separate plumbers, electricians, roofers and carpenters. We put the scope in writing, pull the permits and schedule each trade in the right order. Licensed, insured subcontractors handle plumbing and electrical, and a Guardian project manager supervises them on site.
The bathroom in the photo, with a floating wood vanity and black fixtures, is one of our remodels.

Brewster General Contractor FAQs
Who issues permits in the Village of Brewster?
The Village Building Department at 50 Main Street (845-279-3760). It is a part-time office that sees people by appointment, generally Monday and Wednesday from 9 to 3. Homes outside the village line are in the Town of Southeast, which has its own department.
Does changing my floor plan involve the County Health Department?
It can. Putnam County Health says any renovation that changes an existing floor plan, or any addition that adds living space, needs its approval before a building permit is issued, because septic and water capacity are sized to the house.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster?
The Village has a dumpster permit form, and owners sign an owner-consent form when a contractor applies for them. We take care of both.
Will one company handle the whole renovation?
Yes. As your general contractor we schedule and supervise every trade, from demolition to the final paint touch-ups, and we are your single point of contact.
