What we build in Massapequa
Massapequa is really two markets sharing a name. North of Merrick Road it is conventional suburban renovation; on the canal streets it is flood-elevation work with an entirely different budget and permit path.
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 Massapequa job runs the same way: a free walkthrough, a line-item estimate, permits filed with Town of Oyster Bay Building Department, and one named superintendent who owns the schedule from demolition to punch list. You get their cell phone, not a call centre.
- Permit filed with Town of Oyster Bay Building Department, and jurisdiction confirmed before drawings
- A free on-site walkthrough and an itemised, line-item estimate
- Architect and engineer coordination where the job needs drawings
- Permit filing and follow-through, including variance applications
- One named superintendent, reachable directly, for the whole build
- Written weekly progress updates and a live schedule
- Punch list closed before final payment, with warranties and paperwork handed over
- Flood map and elevation certificate pulled at estimate stage for Massapequa parcels
The four things
that decide
a Massapequa 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 Oyster Bay Building Department
Unincorporated Massapequa is Town of Oyster Bay. Massapequa Park is a separate incorporated village with its own building department, and the boundary is not obvious from the address.
- What we are usually working on
Post-war capes, splits and ranches, with canal-front and bay-front housing to the south.
- Flood and coastal reality
The canal streets and everything south of Merrick Road carry real flood exposure. Sandy reached well inland here.
- The local catch
The canal-front streets and the inland streets are two different construction markets sharing one name. One is flood-elevation work; the other is conventional suburban renovation.

Who issues building permits in Massapequa?
Town of Oyster Bay Building Department. Unincorporated Massapequa is Town of Oyster Bay. Massapequa Park is a separate incorporated village with its own building department, and the boundary is not obvious from the address. 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 Massapequa property likely to be in a flood zone?
The canal streets and everything south of Merrick Road carry real flood exposure. Sandy reached well inland here. We pull the flood map, and the elevation certificate where it applies, at estimate stage rather than after the design is finished.

Yes. About fifteen minutes east. We are in Massapequa Park, Wantagh, Bellmore and the surrounding area most weeks, so this is a normal run for our crews rather than a favour.
