Colonial Revival · Ranch
Primary Styles
1940s–1970s
Built Era
Ardsley’s residential fabric is defined by Colonial Revival and Ranch construction — a concentrated stock of homes built primarily between 1940s–1970s. At an average of 2,300 sq ft on lots ranging 0.25–0.75 acres, these properties set a high bar for material quality and construction precision.
Ardsley's renovation market is practical and value-oriented. Homeowners here are making long-term investments in properties they plan to occupy for decades — they want quality execution and honest pricing, not elaborate presentations. JMR's approach to pre-construction scope clarity, fixed-contract pricing for well-defined scopes, and clean-site discipline delivers the specific kind of professionalism this market expects and consistently rewards with referrals.
JMR has completed projects within reach of Ardsley Metro-North Station, Saw Mill River Parkway, Ardsley Country Club.
Ardsley offers Harlem Line Metro-North service to Grand Central in approximately 45 minutes and an accessible price point relative to adjacent river communities. Its compact suburban character and established school district attract professional families seeking Westchester's fundamentals without the premium of more prominent addresses. The renovation market is driven primarily by homeowners upgrading aging post-war stock.
Our Approach in Ardsley
Ardsley's post-war housing stock has reached the renovation stage where systems upgrades and design updates naturally align — homes built for the long term, now ready for the investment that extends their life and improves their livability.

What Westchester County Homeowners Say
My new house is gorgeous in Scarsdale. As a doctor I don't know if I can heal people the way Mira and Florenc treated me and my ideas — with so much passion. They are truly exceptional.

JMR built our home in Bedford from foundation to certificate of occupancy. They coordinated directly with our architect and never modified the design intent without written approval. The documentation package at handover was thorough — as-builts, all warranties, every permit in order. We would hire them again without hesitation.

The structural quality of our Armonk build distinguished JMR from every other bid. Every framing detail was executed exactly as drawn. Florenc communicated weekly without us having to ask. From permit filing through the CO inspection, the process was disciplined and completely transparent.

What permits are required for a kitchen renovation in Ardsley?
Kitchen renovations in Ardsley requiring structural work, plumbing relocation, or electrical upgrades require a building permit from the Village of Ardsley Building Department. Non-structural cosmetic updates are generally permit-exempt. Permit review for complete applications typically runs 2–3 weeks. JMR files all permit applications and manages inspection scheduling as part of standard project onboarding.
What are the setback requirements for a deck in Ardsley?

On Ardsley's compact lots — many running 0.25–0.35 acres — setback compliance is a meaningful constraint on deck size and configuration. JMR reviews setback requirements and calculates the permitted deck envelope as a first step in the design process, so clients receive proposals for configurations that comply with Village zoning requirements before any drawings are produced.
