Home Remodeling and Roofing in Audubon Park, NJ
Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and tile and more for homes in Audubon Park, Camden County.
Working in Audubon Park
Audubon Park was built in 1941 as 500 homes for workers at the New York Shipbuilding yard in Camden. It was the first of eight mutual-ownership defense housing projects of the Federal Works Agency. It became Camden County's newest municipality in 1947 and is one of the smallest in New Jersey by area. The Audubon Mutual Housing Corporation owns and manages all property in the borough.
Census estimates (ACS 2020-2024) describe Audubon Park's housing like this: Nearly all homes were built in the 1940s; 100% predate 1980; the largest share was built in the 1940s; only 1% are detached single-family houses, with the rest attached homes and apartments. We serve homeowners in the 1941 attached homes throughout the borough.

- Permits. Permits and inspections in Audubon Park are handled by Audubon Park 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.
- 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.
- House age. Census estimates show 7% of Audubon Park 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.
Questions from Audubon Park homeowners
Can I hire my own contractor in Audubon Park?
Because the Audubon Mutual Housing Corporation owns and manages all property in the borough, any work has to be approved by the corporation first. Ask them about their process, and we will work within whatever approvals and specifications they require.
What should I expect when remodeling an older Audubon Park home?
Plan a contingency for what's behind the walls: old wiring, rotted framing or undersized drains. Homes built before 1978 require lead-safe work practices. We point out likely issues at the estimate and price the known work in writing.
Do I need a permit for a remodel in Audubon Park?
Many projects do, including decks, roofing, basements, structural changes and most plumbing and electrical work. Permits go through Audubon Park Borough. We handle the application and inspections.
