Building decks in Smithtown
Smithtown has one of the higher shares of owner-occupied detached homes in Suffolk: mostly 1960s and 70s split-levels, hi-ranches and colonials on quarter-acre-plus lots with real backyards. That space means there is usually room for a deck that does more than hold a grill: a dining level, a lower patio, a pergola. Grade varies across the town, and where the land slopes the stair run and footings become the main part of the job.
