Building decks in Sleepy Hollow
Sleepy Hollow is a village in the Town of Mount Pleasant on the Hudson, known until 1996 as North Tarrytown. The Pocantico River runs through its lower end, and Andre Brook marks the line with Tarrytown. Its landmarks include Philipsburg Manor and the Old Dutch Church.
Older neighborhoods climb the hill from the river, and many houses have narrow, sloping backyards. Decks here often need tall posts on the downhill side and careful stair placement. If you live in a newer development such as Edge-on-Hudson, on the former General Motors site, check any association rules before planning a deck.
When you send a request from Sleepy Hollow, 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 Sleepy Hollow, 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.
