Addition - First and Second Floor Addition

  • 11_02_07_478
    This is modular first and second story addition on the North Shore of Long Island. The demolition, underpinning, and site construction was extremely difficult. The unique and challenging modular design of the first and second floors including the porch area was an incredible accomplishment. I want to thank all people involved including the homeowners, the architect, and the entire staff at Pinecrest Modular Homes and Signature Building Systems. Jonathan Davidson President
