Local expertise
Why West Islip masonry has to be built right.
West Islip is a south-shore Islip-township community with a strong mix of postwar capes and colonials in the older neighborhoods and larger custom homes along the canals and Great South Bay. Waterfront and canal-adjacent lots drive a lot of our masonry work here — retaining walls, bulkhead-adjacent stone caps, and pool decks that need to handle salt air. Inland, it's a steady market for driveway repaves, front-stoop rebuilds, and paver walkway upgrades on the older ranches.
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.
West Islip is Town of Islip jurisdiction. Waterfront lots have higher water tables and salt exposure — we spec freeze-and-salt-rated stone, brick, and mortar for anything within a few blocks of the bay or canals.
