Stoops & Porches in Islip, NY

Islip is a well-established hamlet in the Town of Islip, bordering Bay Shore, East Islip, and the Great South Bay. The community has a traditional village character with a walkable Main Street, the historic Islip Grange, and a housing stock that ranges from early 1900s homes to mid-century ranches and newer construction. Many older homes have masonry stoops that have been rebuilt at least once, and mid-century homes have original concrete entries now deteriorating.

Soils in Islip are sandy South Shore outwash with generally good drainage on higher ground. Waterfront and bay-adjacent properties encounter elevated water tables that require enhanced stoop foundations with gravel drainage and waterproof membrane. Properties along Main Street and the village center sit on slightly higher ground with more stable conditions.
