From Hopewell Junction to Stormville, we design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations for East Fishkill homeowners.
East Fishkill is a town of about 57 square miles on the southern border of Dutchess County, split from the town of Fishkill in 1849 and named for Fishkill Creek. Its hamlets include Hopewell Junction, Fishkill Plains, Hillside Lake, Stormville and Wiccopee, and Leetown sits atop Stormville Mountain. Interstate 84, the Taconic State Parkway and the Appalachian Trail all cross the town.
Single family neighborhoods make up much of East Fishkill, and owners often want more room. Our engineers evaluate the existing structure first, then design the addition or second floor alongside the architecture.
Licensed architects and professional engineers on one team, one contract and one set of signed and sealed drawings. See all of our services.

New floors over ranches, capes, garages and one story wings, with foundations and framing checked and reinforced as needed.
Whole house and partial renovations, wall removals and open plans, basements and attics, with structure and systems designed in house.
Ground up single family homes and teardown rebuilds, from site planning to sealed construction drawings.
Decks, covered porches, pergolas and garages engineered for footings, ledgers and loads.
Beam replacements, foundation fixes and engineer's letters for homeowners, buyers and insurers.
In New York, building permits are issued by the town, village or city building department under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, and zoning comes first. When a design needs relief from a setback, coverage or height limit, it goes to the Zoning Board of Appeals, and many villages and towns also require Architectural Review Board or Planning Board approval for exterior changes.
Homes on Stormville Mountain and other hillsides sit on sloped, sometimes rocky lots. We design footings, retaining walls and drainage for actual conditions.
Properties near Fishkill Creek and its tributaries may be near mapped flood areas. We check flood mapping before design.
