Family-owned since 1995, a short drive west at our Freeport office. We remodel kitchens and baths, rebuild after floods, and answer 24/7 when water or fire damages your home.
Gotham Builders of New York is a family-owned contractor that has been rebuilding and remodeling South Shore homes since 1995, more than 30 years. We hold Nassau County Home Improvement License #H18D7530000 and NYC License #0916825-DCA, and our one office is at 108 W Merrick Rd in Freeport, a straight shot down Merrick Road from Seaford.
Seaford runs from the canal streets of the Seaford Harbor area south of Merrick Road to the quieter inland neighborhoods to the north. Up north, most of our calls are kitchen and bath remodels, burst pipes and roof leaks. Down by the water, homeowners deal with tidal flooding too.
On Seamans Neck Road in Seaford, we remodeled the kitchen with dark shaker cabinets finished with crown molding, white counters, and a full-height slab backsplash that runs from the counter to the cabinets with no grout lines to scrub.
An undermount stainless sink sits under the window, new recessed lights brighten the ceiling, and new stainless appliances went in. The photo was taken just before the range hood and under-cabinet lighting were installed.
The Seaford Harbor area south of Merrick Road was hit especially hard by Sandy, with flood and wind damage reaching into homes and businesses. A year earlier, during Irene, canals here overflowed and put a few feet of water into houses and streets. The Town of Hempstead has since been raising roads and improving drainage in parts of Seaford with state storm recovery funding.
If your Seaford home took water in Sandy, there's one more thing to know. Years after the storm, the Town of Hempstead began telling some homeowners who applied for permits that their houses had been substantially damaged and needed to be elevated, based on inspections done right after Sandy. Before you plan a big renovation, it pays to know what the town's records say about your house, and we can help you find out.
A new kitchen or a flooded basement, one local team handles the work, the insurance company and the Town of Hempstead paperwork.
Seaford is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, so building permits come from the Town of Hempstead Building Department rather than a village. For homes in the flood zone, the town may check its post-Sandy damage records when a permit is filed, so we gather that information up front.
Whether you're planning a new kitchen or dealing with water on the floor right now, every Seaford job follows the same clear steps.
