From Putnam Lake to the hills around Cranberry Mountain, we design and engineer additions, renovations and new homes for Patterson homeowners.
Patterson is a town of about 32 square miles in northeastern Putnam County, first settled around 1720 by Connecticut families in the disputed strip known as the Oblong. Its hamlets include Patterson, Putnam Lake, Haviland Hollow and West Patterson, and Metro-North's Harlem Line stops at Patterson station. Cranberry Mountain, the highest point at 1,234 feet, and Putnam Lake near the Connecticut border define much of the landscape.
Lake homes at Putnam Lake, older farmhouses and newer homes on hilly lots each call for a different approach. Our architects and engineers plan structure and site together.
Licensed architects and professional engineers on one team, one contract and one set of signed and sealed drawings. See all of our services.
Rear, side and wraparound additions for kitchens, family rooms and primary suites, with the existing house evaluated by our engineers.
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.
Putnam Lake homes often sit on small lots with slopes toward the water. We confirm setbacks and design within them.
Hillside and rural lots raise septic, well and grading questions. We work those out early.
However your project is approved, we deliver signed and sealed drawings to you, support you and your contractor through the permit submission and answer the building department's review comments in house. Read how a project moves from consultation to close out on our process page.
