Remodeling Contractor in Hawthorne, NY

Westchester Home Remodeling Service Serving Hawthorne

Kitchens, bathrooms, additions, roofing and basements for Hawthorne homes in the Town of Mount Pleasant. Licensed in Westchester, family-owned since 1980, with one project manager on every job.

A Commuter Hamlet With Practical Houses

Hawthorne grew around its Metro-North station on the Harlem Line and the parkways that meet nearby. Its streets are lined with the houses that suburban families built through the middle of the 20th century: capes, colonials, raised ranches and split-levels, mostly on modest lots, with a mix of older homes near the hamlet center.

Those houses tend to need the same things now: kitchens that open to the living space, bathrooms that haven’t been touched in decades, more room for a growing family, and roofs and windows reaching the end of their life.

How We Run a Hawthorne Job

Every project starts with a visit, a measured look at the house and a written scope. We prepare the permit drawings with a licensed design professional where they’re needed, file them, and schedule the Town’s inspections as the work progresses. A Guardian project manager is your single contact, and licensed, insured subcontractors handle electrical and plumbing under that manager’s supervision.

On close-set streets we keep the driveway and sidewalk clear, contain dust and debris, and keep neighbors informed when deliveries or dumpster swaps are coming.

Hawthorne Remodeling FAQs

Where do I get a building permit for a Hawthorne home?

Hawthorne is a hamlet in the Town of Mount Pleasant. Permits are filed with the Town’s Building Department at One Town Hall Plaza in Valhalla, (914) 742-2305, through the Town’s online service center.

Will my project go to the Architectural Review Board?

Mount Pleasant’s ARB reviews new construction, renovations that change facades and commercial signage. It meets at Town Hall on the third Thursday of the month at 7 p.m., and applications go through Planning & Zoning, (914) 742-2330. Interior-only work usually doesn’t need it.

Do you need to be licensed to work in Hawthorne?

Yes. Home improvement work in Westchester requires a county license. Guardian holds Westchester County Home Improvement License #WC-38383-H24, and our electrical and plumbing subcontractors hold their own licenses.

Can you work on a raised ranch or split-level?

Those are some of the most common houses we see here, and they renovate well: opened kitchens, second-floor additions and finished lower levels.
