Tappan is one of Rockland County's quietest and most established residential communities — primarily single-family colonials and ranches on generous lots, many in the Town of Orangetown.
Tappan's housing stock is predominantly colonials, ranches, and split-levels built between 1950 and 1985 on lots of a half-acre or more. These homes are typically spacious with predictable renovation characteristics: **Kitchens**: Tappan colonials often have generous kitchen footprints — 200–280 sq ft is common. Most were designed as closed rooms but convert well to open-concept layouts. Load-bearing wall assessment is standard for any open-concept project. **Primary bathrooms**: Most Tappan homes have primary bathrooms that were last updated in the 1980s or early 1990s — Hollywood light bars, single vanities, 36" shower stalls. Walk-in shower conversions with double vanities and frameless glass are the most popular bathroom project we do in Tappan. **Electrical and plumbing**: Homes built before 1975 may have copper plumbing with original valves (prone to failure during renovation) and 100 amp panels. We assess both before finalizing project scope. **Permits**: Tappan falls within the Town of Orangetown. Permit requirements, filing responsibility, credentials, fees, review timing, inspections, and close-out records depend on the property, project scope, municipality, and written project documents. Confirm the current process with the office that has jurisdiction before work begins.
