Local expertise
Why Oakdale masonry has to be built right.
Oakdale is a south-shore Islip hamlet with a mix of historic estates near the Great South Bay, older postwar homes inland, and newer custom builds. Historic-property masonry restoration is a real category for us here — chimney rebuilds, brick repointing, and stone-veneer restoration on older homes near Idle Hour and the Bourne-era estates. Newer builds get modern stone-veneer entrances, bluestone stoops, and fieldstone retaining walls.
South Shore Islip neighborhoods sit close to the Great South Bay with high water tables, salt air and heavy coastal storms. Water that sits behind a wall or under a step is the number one enemy of masonry here.
Expect post-war ranches, expanded capes and a lot of post-Sandy raised homes. Raised homes mean taller entry stairs and landings, which we build with poured footings, block cores and stone or paver treads.
Salt and constant moisture eat through weak mortar fast. We use air-entrained concrete, polymer-modified mortar and sealed caps so stoops, piers and walls survive the bay climate.
Oakdale is Town of Islip jurisdiction. Historic properties get more architectural care and matched material sourcing; waterfront lots use salt-and-freeze-rated systems.
