Well there are hundreds of thousands of home owners on Long Island but how many are knocking down houses vs remodeling or making an addition? Occasionally, you will see someone knock down a house and build a new one. But I see people remodeling all the time.
For instance, after Superstorm Sandy, think how many people on the South Shore chose to
raise their existing home instead of tearing down the damaged one and building a new one. Actually, here in the Town of Babylon, the process is ongoing and small numbers of people are still raising them.
