What we build in Bayport
A good number of Bayport waterfront houses began as summer cottages and were winterised badly somewhere along the way. Foundations, insulation and heating in those are usually worse than they look, so we investigate before we quote.
Khella runs the whole job: drawings, permits, our own carpenters, our own subs and one superintendent who answers the phone. Custom homes, additions, renovations, exteriors and commercial fit-out, all under one contract.
Every Bayport job runs the same way: a free walkthrough, a line-item estimate, permits filed with Town of Islip Building Division, and one named superintendent who owns the schedule from demolition to punch list. You get their cell phone, not a call centre.

The four things
that decide
a Bayport job.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Which department reviews your file, what is behind your walls, and where the flood map runs will each change your budget more than any material selection.
- Who issues the permit
- Town of Islip Building Division
Unincorporated Town of Islip. Bay-front parcels add flood and environmental review.
- What we are usually working on
Older waterfront and near-water houses, some substantial, plus mid-century and later infill.
- Flood and coastal reality
The southern, bay-facing streets are mapped. Inland is clear.
- The local catch
A number of the older bay houses were built as summer cottages and later winterised badly. Insulation, foundations and heating in those are usually worse than they look.

questions,
answered.
Who issues building permits in Bayport?
Town of Islip Building Division. Unincorporated Town of Islip. Bay-front parcels add flood and environmental review. We confirm jurisdiction in writing before drawings are produced, because filing with the wrong department is the most expensive administrative mistake on a Long Island job.
Is a Bayport property likely to be in a flood zone?
The southern, bay-facing streets are mapped. Inland is clear. We pull the flood map, and the elevation certificate where it applies, at estimate stage rather than after the design is finished.

What trips people up on Bayport projects?
A number of the older bay houses were built as summer cottages and later winterised badly. Insulation, foundations and heating in those are usually worse than they look. It is the sort of thing that never appears in a lump-sum quote and always appears in the schedule.
Do you actually work in Bayport regularly?
Yes. About forty minutes east. We are in Sayville, Patchogue, Islip and the surrounding area most weeks, so this is a normal run for our crews rather than a favour.
