For Gibbstown's post-war houses, we tear off to the deck, add ridge venting where the attic allows and replace worn aluminum or vinyl siding and trim. We install drip edge, ice-and-water shield and proper flashing on every roof.

Kitchen Remodeling details →What to know before a project in Gibbstown
- Permits. Gibbstown is an unincorporated community, not its own municipality, so permits and inspections go through Greenwich Township under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. We confirm the correct office from your property record and file for you.
- Post-war construction. About 49% of Gibbstown homes were built before 1960. Houses from that era may have galvanized pipes, undersized electrical service, little insulation and lead paint. We check these at the estimate.
- 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.
- Weather. South Jersey's freeze-thaw cycles and nor'easters are hard on roof edges, gutters and siding. Ice-and-water shield at the eaves, good attic ventilation and properly sized gutters prevent most problems.
