Building decks in Westbury
Westbury is a mix: the incorporated Village of Westbury runs its own building department, while the surrounding unincorporated blocks are permitted through the Town of North Hempstead, so the first step here is confirming which authority actually issues your permit. The housing spans older homes near the village and post-war capes, ranches and colonials on moderate lots, many expanded over the years. Because the lots are middling in size, the design question is usually how much lawn to trade for the deck; we keep the structure proportioned to the house and the yard.
