About Laurel Springs homes

Laurel Springs was incorporated as a borough in 1913 from part of Clementon Township and has about 2,000 residents. It borders only Lindenwold and Stratford and includes the Watsontown area. More than 40% of its homes were built before 1940.

Census estimates (ACS 2020-2024) describe Laurel Springs's housing like this: The median home was built in 1951; 87% predate 1980; the largest share was built before 1940; 79% are detached houses and 4% are twins or townhouses. Our crews work in homes throughout the borough.

Local considerations

What to know before a project in Laurel Springs

  • Permits. Permits and inspections in Laurel Springs are handled by Laurel Springs 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. Roughly 65% of Laurel Springs homes were built before 1960. Many were built quickly after the war, so we often find undersized headers, minimal attic insulation, original electrical panels and lead paint.
  • 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.
  • 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.
FAQ

Questions from Laurel Springs homeowners

Are there special concerns with pre-1940 homes?

Yes. Expect plaster walls, older framing that may not be square, limited insulation, possible older wiring and lead paint. We check for all of that and price the work to match.

Is it worth remodeling a small post-war house in Laurel Springs?

Often, yes. Opening the kitchen to the living area, adding a bath or finishing the basement can make these homes feel much larger. We give you a clear written scope so you can decide.

Do I need a permit for a remodel in Laurel Springs?

Many projects do, including decks, roofing, basements, structural changes and most plumbing and electrical work. Permits go through Laurel Springs Borough. We handle the application and inspections.
