Additions & Whole-Home Remodels in Alexandria Bay, NY
From new primary suites and sunrooms to garage builds and full gut renovations, we handle Alexandria Bay additions from permit to final trim. We're set up for the river-area cottage owners around Alexandria Bay too, converting seasonal places to year-round homes and scheduling big work in the off-season so an out-of-town owner can manage the whole job by phone.
Additions & Whole-Home Remodels, the Alexandria Bay way.
A lot of our work around the Bay is on second homes and cottages owned by folks who live somewhere else most of the year. That means we run tidy, send photos, and handle deliveries and decisions while you are away. The waterfront places here take sun, wind and ice, and we build for all three.
We schedule the heavy work around Memorial Day and the summer rush, and keep your place locked up tight between visits.

Built for the river
Building near the St. Lawrence River isn't the same as building in town. Lots are tight, access can be tricky, and the wind off the water is hard on anything you bolt to the outside of a house. We build for that: flashing and trim that shed water, insulation that earns its keep through a North Country winter, and materials that take the freeze-thaw without splitting.
A lot of our addition and remodel work is for cottage and second-home owners who live somewhere else most of the year. We're set up for it. We schedule big work in the off-season when the cottage is empty, lock up tight when we leave, and you can manage the whole job by phone and email. You don't have to drive up to know what's going on.
What it costs
Additions and whole-home remodels are the biggest projects we take on, and the price swings a lot with size and finish level. A modest sunroom or garage runs at one end; a primary-suite addition or a full gut renovation runs higher; a cottage-to-year-round conversion lands in the middle depending on how much of the shell and systems need work.
What moves the number is square footage, foundation and structural work, how far the kitchen and baths get reworked, and the finishes you pick. We give you a written, itemized quote up front so you can see where the money goes, and we'll tell you straight where to spend and where to save. No surprise change orders unless we find something hidden behind a wall, and if we do, you hear about it before we touch it.

Additions & Whole-Home Remodels in Alexandria Bay: common questions
How much does a home addition cost in the Thousand Islands?
It depends on size, foundation work, and finish level. A small sunroom or garage sits at the low end; a primary-suite addition or whole-home gut runs higher. We give you a written, itemized quote after a walk-through so you see exactly where the money goes, with no vague allowances that creep up mid-project.
Do I need a permit for an addition in Clayton, NY?
Yes. Additions and structural work need a building permit, and we handle that for you. We pull the permit through the Town of Clayton and Jefferson County, bring in an engineer for stamped plans when the job needs them, and meet the inspector on site so your project passes clean.
Can you convert a seasonal cottage into a year-round home?
Yes, that's one of our specialties. Converting a summer cottage means real insulation, a sealed or frost-protected foundation, plumbing that won't freeze, and heat that keeps up through a North Country winter. We walk the property, tell you what the shell needs, and quote the whole conversion before any work starts.
