Home Renovation & Custom Builds in Saugerties, NY

The Village of Saugerties has a compact, well-preserved Victorian commercial and residential center. The Town of Saugerties surrounding it includes significant agricultural land and farmhouse properties along the Catskill Mountains' eastern foothills. Homes in the town range from 19th-century farmsteads with their characteristic multi-building complexes to post-war ranches and newer construction along the major roads.

Saugerties is 20 minutes from Kingston and within easy range of all three Timber Millwork Division facilities. We have an established relationship with the Saugerties building department and know the local permitting process for both village and town permits.

The substantial improvement trigger is the thing to watch in Saugerties renovation projects. If your renovation scope reaches 50% or more of the structure's pre-improvement assessed value on a Zone AE property, the entire structure is required to come into current floodplain compliance — which can mean elevating the floor system, a scope that transforms what looked like a straightforward gut renovation into a significantly larger project. We pull the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map for every Saugerties project in a potential flood zone before committing to scope or budget.

The village itself has municipal water and sewer — which simplifies projects in the village core compared to the surrounding town, where private well and septic is standard. The Catskill area north of the village transitions to more rural terrain with the same well-and-septic considerations as the rest of Ulster County.
