General Contractor in Sodus, NY
Owner-operated general contracting for Sodus village homes, Sodus Bay properties and seasonal cottages going year-round.
Cottages going year-round
Sodus has historic village homes and seasonal cottages near Sodus Bay that people are turning into full-time homes. Many have balloon framing, uneven foundations and insulation that was never meant for a January.
We strip them down safely, fix the deferred maintenance and bring them up to current structural standards without losing the character.
- Insulation and framing for year-round living
- Flashing, ventilation and vapor barriers for lake moisture
- Seasonal-to-permanent permits handled
Cutting corners costs twice
Cheap jobs show up later as framing flaws, cracked drywall joints and electrical that won’t pass inspection.
Owner on the job
An experienced set of eyes checks every phase. Not a junior manager you’ve never met.
Our own crew
In-house carpenters handle demo, framing, trim and structural tie-ins.
Trusted trades
Electrical and plumbing partners we manage directly on site.
We finish
A real punch list. Every piece of hardware works before we hand it over.
Building near the lake
Lake moisture and weather
Being near Lake Ontario means high moisture and hard weather. Without proper flashing, ventilation and vapor barriers, rot and mold get in within a few seasons.
We build for this climate so your insulation, roof and siding keep water out.
What drives cost in an older Sodus house
The biggest variable is what’s inside the walls. Old village houses often have outdated wiring, sagging joists or water damage that has to be fixed before new finishes go in.
We look for those conditions on the first walkthrough and price the job honestly, not with a low number that changes later.
Permits and code
Wayne County code enforcement takes seasonal-to-permanent conversions seriously. We handle permits and inspections so your renovation has the sign-offs it needs when you sell.

Answers before you call
Do you handle permits for renovations in Sodus?
Yes. Whether you’re converting a cottage near Sodus Bay to year-round or remodeling a village home, we pull the building, electrical and plumbing permits and schedule every inspection.
What causes unexpected costs in an older Sodus home?
Hidden conditions: outdated wiring, water damage from lake moisture, sagging joists. We look for them on the first walkthrough and build realistic allowances into the scope.
Do you use subcontractors or your own crew?
