Sunrooms for Smithtown's Family Neighborhoods

The Town of Smithtown occupies a central position in Suffolk County, stretching from the North Shore at Nissequogue and St. James to the inland communities of Hauppauge, Commack (shared with Huntington), and Nesconset. Smithtown is known for its strong public schools, family-oriented neighborhoods, and well-maintained housing stock.

The town's homes are predominantly colonials and split-levels built from the 1960s through the 1990s, with lot sizes typically ranging from 0.25 to 0.75 acres. Median home values run $550,000-$750,000 depending on the community, with North Shore waterfront properties in Nissequogue and Head of the Harbor reaching well above $1 million.

Smithtown's spacious lots are a significant advantage for sunroom construction. Smithtown homes typically have rear yards of 50-80 feet -- providing room for generous sunroom additions.

Long Island Sunroom Co. is based just minutes from Smithtown in Huntington and has completed numerous projects throughout the town.

Colonials -- The dominant home style in Smithtown. Two-story colonials with rear-facing family rooms are the most common starting point for sunroom additions. We typically attach the sunroom off the family room or kitchen with a gable roof that matches the main structure's pitch. This creates a seamless indoor-outdoor transition and adds 150-300 sq ft of bright living space.

Split-levels -- Smithtown has a significant inventory of split-level homes, particularly in Hauppauge and Nesconset. Sunrooms attach at the lower level with walkout access to the backyard. Foundation height is matched to the existing grade, and the roofline integrates with the split-level's characteristic multi-height profile.

Ranches -- Found throughout the town, especially in Kings Park and parts of St. James. Studio-roof sunrooms extend the ranch's horizontal profile. These are among the most straightforward sunroom additions, with clean connections to existing rooflines.

North Shore properties -- Homes in Nissequogue, St. James, and Head of the Harbor have direct North Shore exposure. These properties require the same salt-air-rated materials and wind engineering we specify for all coastal projects. See our guide on materials for Long Island's salt air.
