Building decks in Ronkonkoma
Ronkonkoma spans the line between the Town of Islip and the Town of Brookhaven (the lake itself touches three towns), so which authority issues your permit depends on exactly where the house sits, and we confirm that before filing. The housing is mostly 1960s and 70s splits and ranches on moderate lots with gentle grade, which keeps decks straightforward: ground-level or a step down from the kitchen into a patio. The usual design question is simply how much of the yard to keep as lawn.
