Garage Building services in Irvington
Irvington is one of the most tightly built towns in Essex County. Block after block holds two-family and three-family frame houses from the early 1900s, set close together with a single driveway running down one side to a small garage at the back of the lot. Many of those garages were built for cars far narrower than today's, and a lot of them have rotted sills, sagging roofs and doors that no longer open. Because the lots are narrow, there is rarely room to make a garage wider, so most jobs here are a tear-down and rebuild on the same footprint, or a slightly deeper garage where the rear yard allows. Winter matters too: the slab and footings have to sit below frost, and the roof has to carry snow that slides off the house next door. We also get calls to replace collapsed carports and to pour new slabs behind two-family homes.
