Bellerose, NY
About Elmont
Elmont is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Hempstead in western Nassau County, sitting directly on the Queens border beside Bellerose, Queens Village and Cambria Heights. It is best known as the home of Belmont Park and UBS Arena, and it is served by Hempstead Turnpike, Linden Boulevard, the Cross Island Parkway and the Southern State Parkway, along with the Elmont-UBS Arena LIRR station.
Most of Elmont's housing was built in the first half of the twentieth century and the post-war years: rows of capes, Tudor-style homes, colonials and ranches on compact suburban lots, many with detached garages and finished basements. These houses are well built but often have original layouts, small bathrooms and roofs or siding that are ready for replacement.
Climate & Environmental Factors in Elmont
Being so close to the Queens line, Elmont shares the same weather we see at our Bellerose shop every day: cold winters with repeated freeze-thaw cycles, snow and ice that build up on roofs and in gutters, nor'easters with wind-driven rain, and hot, humid summers.
Freeze-thaw cycles crack old caulking and open gaps around windows, so we pay close attention to flashing and sealing on every window and door replacement. Tudors and capes often have steep roof sections, dormers and valleys where water collects, which makes careful flashing on a roof replacement essential. Mature trees on many Elmont blocks also mean roofs and gutters take on leaves and debris every fall.

Local Remodeling Challenges in Elmont
Elmont's capes and Tudors were built with smaller kitchens, compact bathrooms and second floors tucked under sloped roofs. Making these homes work for today's families often means opening up walls, adding a dormer or extension, or reworking an upstairs layout, all of which call for careful structural planning.
Lots are compact and homes sit close together, so access for materials and equipment has to be planned carefully, and additions must fit within required setbacks. We handle the required permits for our work, keep job sites clean and organized, and communicate with you throughout so neighbors and family are disrupted as little as possible.

Remodeling Capes, Tudors and Colonials in Elmont, NY
Elmont's established homes are full of potential. This guide answers the questions Elmont homeowners ask most often when they start planning a remodel with a contractor right next door in Bellerose.
What is the best way to add space to an Elmont home?
For most Elmont capes and Tudors, a full or partial dormer adds usable second-floor space, while a rear extension can enlarge a kitchen or add a bedroom. The right option depends on your lot, roofline and budget, and we review each choice with you during a free estimate.
Is a whole-home renovation better than doing one room at a time?
If several rooms, systems and the exterior all need work, a whole-home renovation is usually more efficient because demolition, permits and scheduling happen once. If only one or two rooms need attention, phasing the work is perfectly reasonable, and we help you choose the right order.
Can you modernize an Elmont bathroom with a tub?
Yes. Many Elmont homes still have their original tub and tile. We can replace it with a new tub and surround or convert it to a walk-in shower with updated tile, fixtures, lighting and ventilation, which helps manage humidity during muggy Long Island summers.
Do you build detached garages in Elmont?
Yes. Many Elmont homes already have detached garages, and some need repair, rebuilding or a new structure. We design garages to suit your lot and driveway, handle the required permits and build them with the same care we bring to additions and extensions.
Do you renovate finished basements in Elmont?
Yes. Many Elmont homes have finished basements that are dated or affected by moisture. We can update flooring, walls, lighting and layout, and we check for signs of dampness first, since humid summers and freeze-thaw winters can affect below-grade spaces.
Interior and structural services we provide for Elmont homes:
- Home additions, room extensions and garage construction, including dormers.
- Whole home remodeling and complete house renovation.
- Kitchen remodeling and custom kitchen renovation with improved layouts and storage.
- Bathroom remodeling and custom shower installation.
We also work throughout Bellerose and Franklin Square, where many homes are similar in age and style.
Elmont Exteriors and Outdoor Living
Steep Tudor rooflines, aging siding and older windows are common in Elmont. Updating the exterior protects your home from Long Island weather and gives it a fresh, cared-for look.
How long does a roof replacement take on an Elmont home?
Many roof replacements on a typical Elmont home take just a day or a few days, depending on the size, pitch and condition of the roof decking. Complex Tudor rooflines with dormers and valleys may take longer. We give you a clear schedule during your estimate.
Can you build a deck in a small Elmont backyard?
Yes. Even compact Elmont yards can fit a well-designed deck or patio. We plan the size and layout to leave usable yard space, choose materials suited to freeze-thaw winters and humid summers, and build with proper footings and fastening.
Is vinyl siding a good choice for an Elmont cape?
Vinyl siding is a popular, low-maintenance option for capes and colonials, and it comes in many colors and profiles. Other materials may suit Tudor homes better. We review the options with you, explaining how each looks and holds up to freeze-thaw winters and humid summers.
How do I protect my home during a remodel?
We protect floors, furniture and landscaping, contain dust where we work and clean up at the end of each day. Because our owner is on site, you always know who is responsible for keeping your Elmont home safe and orderly during construction.
