About Audubon homes
Audubon grew from farms that were subdivided after the Atlantic City Railroad arrived in the 1880s, and houses followed the train stations built in the 1890s. Two early-1700s farmhouses still stand, and the borough includes the Orston neighborhood. It borders Audubon Park, Haddon Heights, Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Mount Ephraim and Oaklyn.
Census estimates (ACS 2020-2024) describe Audubon's housing like this: The median home was built in 1938; 94% predate 1980; the largest share was built before 1940; 71% are detached houses and 5% are twins or townhouses. We serve homeowners in Orston, the streets near the old stations and the rest of the borough.
Popular projects in Audubon
These are the services Audubon homeowners ask us about most. All of our other services are available too.
Roofing & Siding
Many older Audubon roofs have dormers, valleys and chimneys that need new step and counter flashing, so we don't rely on caulk. We also repair rotted rafter tails and fascia. We install drip edge, ice-and-water shield and proper flashing on every roof.
Roofing & Siding details →Flooring & Tile
In older Audubon homes, we refinish or patch original hardwood where we can, and we level old subfloors before laying new material. We also do tile backsplashes and shower walls.
Flooring & Tile details →Painting
Older Audubon homes need careful exterior prep: scraping, priming and trim repair, with lead-safe practices for pre-1978 surfaces. We paint cabinets in-house.
Painting details →Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in Audubon's older homes are often small and closed off, and we plan remodels around plaster walls, older wiring and floors that may not be level. You get a written scope before work begins.
Kitchen Remodeling details →Bathroom Remodeling
In older Audubon homes, bathrooms may sit on undersized or notched joists. We reinforce the floor, replace old drains and waterproof before any tile goes down. We finish with tile, fixtures and paint.

- Permits. Permits and inspections in Audubon are handled by Audubon Borough under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Roofing, structural changes, decks, basements and most plumbing and electrical work need a permit. We file the applications and meet the inspectors.
- House age. Census estimates show 56% of Audubon homes date from before 1940. Older houses often have balloon framing, stone or brick foundations and plaster over lath. Lead-safe rules apply to homes built before 1978, and we follow them.
- Site conditions. Much of South Jersey sits on sandy coastal-plain soils. They drain well in many places, but low spots can hold water. We check grading and gutters before building decks or finishing basements.
- Climate. Humid summers and wet winters mean moisture control matters. That includes bathroom exhaust fans vented outdoors, dehumidified basements and flashing that keeps rain out of walls.
Questions from Audubon homeowners
My Audubon home is almost 100 years old. Can you still remodel it?
Yes. Older homes are a big part of our work. We plan for plaster, older framing, knob-and-tube or early wiring and lead paint, and we protect the features worth keeping, such as original trim or hardwood floors.
Can you keep the character of my older Audubon home while updating it?
Yes. We keep original trim, doors and floors where they are sound, and we match profiles where they aren't. We update wiring, plumbing and insulation behind the walls.
Do I need a permit for a remodel in Audubon?
Many projects do, including decks, roofing, basements, structural changes and most plumbing and electrical work. Permits go through Audubon Borough. We handle the application and inspections.
