PRESERVING HISTORY

ONE BEAM AT A TIME

Sagaponack General Store

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.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at the historic restoration of the Sagaponack General Store — a project that blends craftsmanship with preservation. In our latest video, we share how Zappola Construction brought new life to this beloved Hamptons landmark while honoring its original character. Watch the story unfold.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“Oh, the magic of working with Zappola Construction. There is having a vision for what a space can become, but then there is collaborating with a team of gifted workers who bring it to life with skill, care, and heart. No request was ever too big or too small and every detail was crafted with precision and care. Nick and his team vaulted over hurdles without complaint and gave 110% percent to ensure deadlines were met. This was no easy feat given the goal of resurrecting a cherished store that dates to 1878 using antique materials, while both infusing it with modern safety features and celebrating its storied past. I marvel at the finished product, as does everyone who walks in. I am only sad the project has ended since I miss working together with them! Anyone who wants to see master craftsmanship on display must come visit.”
