Northport is a harbor village of older homes — 19th-century Victorians, waterfront cottages, and aging colonials lining the streets that run down to Northport Bay and the walkable Main Street. Framing in a house like this is as much about understanding how it was originally built as it is about the change you want to make. Just Enterprise One Corp. has framed North Shore homes since 1989, and older village homes are exactly the kind of structure that calls for careful, methodical work.
When a Northport homeowner wants to open up a floor plan or add on, we start by reading the existing framing — older homes here were often built with methods you rarely see in newer construction, and the load path is not always obvious. We identify the bearing walls, size the correct LVL or steel beam, and set posts and footings to carry the load. On structural work we bring in a licensed engineer, and permitting here can run through both the incorporated Village of Northport and the Town of Huntington, which we coordinate for you.
Our crews also frame additions, dormers, garage conversions, basement egress openings, and repairs to old, sagging floor systems throughout the village, East Northport, and Fort Salonga. Right on the harbor, salt air off Long Island Sound is hard on hardware and connections, so we detail fasteners and strapping to last. Every project is permitted through the right authority and inspected, framed by our own crews.
