Building decks in Buchanan
Buchanan is a small village of about 1.7 square miles in the Town of Cortlandt, on the Hudson between Montrose and Peekskill. The decommissioned Indian Point plant is within its borders.
Because Buchanan is its own village, deck permits are generally handled by the village rather than the Town of Cortlandt. With fewer than 900 homes, it is a compact place, and decks here are usually modest backyard builds. Your builder should confirm setbacks before finalizing the size.
When you send a request from Buchanan, we pass it to a local deck builder who works in your area. The builder reaches out, looks at the slope, soil and access, and writes up their own estimate. You decide whether to hire them, and the request costs nothing.
Projects range from a new deck or a low-maintenance composite deck to deck repair, a full replacement, new railings and stairs or a screened porch. Footings in Westchester go below the frost line, which Trusted Local Contractors puts at 42 inches.
Most Westchester municipalities require a building permit for a new deck, and your builder should pull it. Before you hire anyone in Buchanan, confirm their Westchester County home improvement license and insurance, and get the size, materials, railing, stairs and price in writing. A photo of the back of the house sent with your request helps the builder come prepared.
