- Permits. Permits and inspections in Florence are handled by Florence Township 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.
- Water nearby. Homes near the Delaware River can see higher humidity, wet basements or mapped flood zones. We check the flood map and the house's moisture history, and we plan drainage, flashing and materials accordingly.
- 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. About 63% of Florence homes are more than 45 years old. They often have original single-pane or early vinyl windows, T1-11 or aluminum siding and undersized attic ventilation.
Questions from Florence homeowners
Do you work on rowhomes and attached houses in Roebling and Florence?
Yes. Attached homes need careful roof tie-ins and flashing at party walls, and interior work has to account for shared walls. We handle both.
My Florence home was built in the 1970s or 1980s. What usually needs updating?
Most commonly the roof, siding and windows, followed by kitchens, baths and decks. Some homes built from about 1965 to 1973 have aluminum branch wiring, which an electrician should evaluate during any remodel.
Do I need a permit for a remodel in Florence?
Many projects do, including decks, roofing, basements, structural changes and most plumbing and electrical work. Permits go through Florence Township. We handle the application and inspections.
