Preserving History, One Beam At A Time

Nestled in the heart of Sagaponack, this iconic general store has long been a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. When it came time to restore the space, Zappola Construction was entrusted with the delicate balance of honoring its historic character while preparing it for modern use.

From preserving original woodwork to reimagining the interior layout, every detail of this renovation was approached with care, craftsmanship, and deep respect for the building’s legacy. The result is a space that feels both timeless and refreshed, rooted in its past, but ready for the future.

This project is a testament to what we do best: thoughtful restorations, high-quality construction, and building spaces that stand the test of time.

  • I have recently completed a project with Zappola Construction here in Sag Harbor village, the restaurant expansion/renovation and building addition at Sen on Main Street. Nick and Nunzio were wonderful throughout the process, and I consider them partners from start to finish in realizing this complicated project. Given an extremely tight timeline, they motivated many crews of workers to not only complete the project on time but also on a budget and to a very high level of finish.

  • We are very satisfied with Zappola Construction. Their team was involved from the very beginning, from site planning and design to the final finishing details of our beautiful new home. Five years later, their commitment to quality remains evident. I absolutely would not hesitate to use them again.

  • It’s been a pleasure working with the entire Zappola Team. From concept through construction, Nick and Ryan are available and eager to share their professional insight and guide the project to completion. The Zappola Team is caring, responsive, vigilant, and thorough. Multiple sub-contracting bids for the most reasonable prices are consistently made solely for the client’s benefit. Updates are shared regularly, and meetings (both in-person and over the phone) are easy to schedule. It is abundantly clear the Zappola Team wants their clients to enjoy their new construction. We appreciate the dedication Zappola has and continues to have for our home!

  • The Zappola team did a wonderful job expanding and renovating our cottage. They are organized, communicative, and care about our home. They are great to work with and I still call them for small projects. We highly recommend them!

  • In December 2022, we had a water line break in our house. The main floor and finished lower level were completely damaged. We hired Zappola Construction to repair the damage. Matt of Zappola, with his knowledge, expertise, and patience, guided us through the whole process from beginning to end. Zappola and they did a great job! We highly recommend Zappola Construction for all construction needs.
