General Contractor and Remodeling in Cinnaminson, NJ
Remodeling and exterior work for Cinnaminson's mid-century neighborhoods and newer homes along the Delaware.
Updating Cinnaminson's established neighborhoods
Cinnaminson Township was formed in 1860 from part of Chester Township, and it later gave up land to create Delran, Riverton and Palmyra. It borders the Delaware River across from Philadelphia and has been home since 1900 to the Riverton Country Club, a course designed by Donald Ross. About 17,000 people live here, almost all in single-family homes: about three-quarters are detached houses and 85 percent are owner-occupied.
Most of the township was built out in the decades after World War II. Census estimates put the median home at 1968, with the 1960s the biggest decade of construction, although about a quarter of homes have been built since 2000. Big Cat General Contractor works throughout Cinnaminson, including East Riverton, Bellview, New Albany, Parry, Taylor and Wrightsville and the neighborhoods along Route 130.

Painting details →Local considerations in Cinnaminson
- The river. Properties near the Delaware River and its tributaries can be in mapped flood zones, which affects basement finishing and other improvements. Check FEMA flood maps before you plan; we factor the result into the scope.
- Housing age. About two-thirds of Cinnaminson homes were built before 1980, so many are due for second or third kitchens, baths and roofs. For homes built before 1978, federal lead-safe rules apply when painted surfaces are disturbed.
- Weather. Nor'easters, freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity cause most exterior wear. Attic ventilation and insulation are often the real fix for ice dams.
- Newer homes. About a quarter of Cinnaminson homes were built after 2000. In those houses, the usual projects are finishing basements, adding decks and upgrading kitchens and primary baths.
- Riverfront and older sections. Cinnaminson borders the Delaware River across from Philadelphia and includes older areas such as East Riverton, New Albany, Parry and Wrightsville. Lower-lying properties near the river may be in mapped flood zones. We check the flood map before planning basement, addition or foundation-adjacent work.
- Permits. Cinnaminson Township's construction office issues permits and inspections under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Decks, finished basements, structural work and most kitchen and bath remodels need permits.
Questions from Cinnaminson homeowners
Can I finish a basement if my home is near the river?
Possibly. Flood-zone rules can limit what goes below the flood elevation. We check the flood map and township requirements before designing.
Can you open up a kitchen in a 1960s Cinnaminson home?
Often, yes. We confirm whether the wall is load-bearing and what runs through it, then plan a beam if one is needed and pull the permit.
Do you serve the neighborhoods near Riverton and Palmyra?
Yes. We serve all of Cinnaminson Township, including East Riverton. Call us about nearby addresses outside the township and we will let you know.
What is included in your estimate?
A written scope listing the work, major materials, permits, protection and cleanup, so you can compare quotes accurately.
Do you replace siding and roofing together?
Yes. Replacing both at once lets us flash roof-to-wall joints, windows and trim as one system and finish the exterior in a single project.
