Bay Shore

Our Work in Bay Shore

HomeCore Construction has built in Bay Shore from the ground up. We built a new custom home on one lot, and right next door we added a full second story to a home, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a bath and laundry, plus a new front porch and deck.

Many homes in neighborhoods like these started as capes and ranches. Going up with a second story is often the best way to add bedrooms without losing the yard, and it is work we know well.

Permits

Working With the Town of Islip

Bay Shore is in the Town of Islip. Building permits go through the Town of Islip Building Division at One Manitton Court in Islip, and applications are filed electronically through the Town's Planning and Development portal. Residential permit types include new dwellings, additions and decks over 18 inches.

For a new home, the Town asks for a recent sealed survey, a soil boring report, sealed plans and a separate plot plan. Work in the public right of way, like a new driveway apron or curb, needs a separate Public Works permit. HomeCore Construction handles all of it.

Sources: Town of Islip Building Division permit requirements (islipny.gov) and the Planning and Development portal (planning.islipny.gov). Check with the Town for current rules.
