Katonah's restored 19th-century homes need chimney work that matches the original brick and mortar, not a modern patch. Owner-operated, 15+ years. Free estimates.
Katonah has an unusual history: the entire village was physically relocated about a mile south in 1897, when New York City's reservoir system flooded the original settlement. Many houses were moved whole by horse and wagon to the new site. That relocated village core is now a National Register historic district, and high-end restoration work matching original roof profiles is common on its well-preserved 19th-century homes.
Services in This Town
Every VT1 service, scoped to what homes in Katonah actually need.
Katonah's historic village homes, many relocated and rebuilt in 1897, often need roofing work that matches an original profile rather than a generic replacement. We handle that kind of restoration alongside standard repair and full replacement throughout the hamlet.
Chimney restoration on Katonah's historic homes calls for more care than a standard rebuild, matching original masonry style where it matters. We repoint, reline, and rebuild chimneys throughout the Katonah Village Historic District and beyond.
From matching original stonework on Katonah's historic properties to retaining walls on newer lots nearby, we build and repair masonry suited to a village with this much preserved 19th-century character.
Local Conditions
Katonah's entire historic core was relocated and rebuilt in 1897, which left the village with a well-preserved cluster of 19th-century homes where matching an original roof profile matters more than in most towns. Any structural alteration inside the historic district also needs additional review before work can begin.
Permits & Licensing
Katonah is an unincorporated hamlet within the Town of Bedford, so the Town's Building Department issues permits, with extra review for structural work inside the Katonah Village Historic District. VT1 handles that process before work starts.

I'm very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality roofing or glass work. 5 stars!
We had the roof on our home in Chappaqua completely replaced, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the final result. Ervin was amazing from beginning to end — extremely professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. His crew did an incredible job. They worked efficiently, paid attention to every detail, and were extremely clean and respectful of our property. With such a large roofing project, I was expecting a big mess, but they kept everything organized and made sure the property was cleaned up beautifully. The difference in the before and after is incredible. The new roof looks beautiful, and the quality of the workmanship really shows. I would absolutely recommend Ervin and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional roofing company. Excellent work, excellent service, and a great experience from start to finish. 10/10!
