Smithtown's housing stock is older and settled — established colonials, ranches, and expanded capes on wooded lots across Kings Park, St. James, Nesconset, Commack, and Hauppauge. Framing an addition or opening a floor plan in a home that has stood for decades means reading how the existing structure was built before you change it. Just Enterprise One Corp. has framed North Shore homes since 1989, and in a town chartered back in 1665 we have seen most of what these houses are built from.
When a Smithtown homeowner wants to combine a kitchen and dining room or take down a wall in an older colonial, we trace the load path from the roof down to the foundation first. We identify the bearing walls, size the LVL or steel beam, and carry the new load onto posts and footings that can hold it. Anything structural or permit-related gets a licensed engineer on it, and we file through the Town of Smithtown building department.
We also frame second-story and rear additions, dormers, garage conversions, basement egress openings, and repairs to tired floor systems in these established homes. On the North Shore the framing has to stand up to heavy Nor'easters, snow and wind loads, and years of freeze-thaw cycles — and mature trees mean we plan around shade, roots, and falling debris on wooded lots. Every project is permitted and inspected, framed by our own crews.
