Serving Magnolia
Magnolia was incorporated in 1915 from parts of the former Centre Township and Clementon. The borough of about 4,400 residents borders Barrington, Gloucester Township, Lawnside, Runnemede and Somerdale. Most homes are detached houses from the 1950s and 1960s.
Census estimates (ACS 2020-2024) describe Magnolia's housing like this: The median home was built in 1961; 87% predate 1980; the largest share was built in the 1960s; 71% are detached houses and 1% are twins or townhouses. Our crews work in neighborhoods throughout the borough.

Bathroom Remodeling
Many Magnolia homes from this era have one full bath. Adding a powder room or turning a tub into a walk-in shower is a common request. Most bath remodels take a few weeks once materials are on site.
Bathroom Remodeling details →Roofing & Siding
For Magnolia'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 also replace gutters and repair storm damage.
Roofing & Siding details →Deck Building
Many Magnolia decks were added decades ago without modern footings or flashing. We replace them with code-compliant structures in wood or composite. Every deck we build is permitted and inspected.
Deck Building details →Flooring & Tile
In Magnolia's post-war houses, we often find hardwood under old carpet. We refinish it or install LVP or tile, with subfloor repairs first. You can choose from waterproof LVP, laminate, hardwood or porcelain tile.
Flooring & Tile details →Kitchen Remodeling
Many Magnolia kitchens still have their original post-war layout. Remodels often mean new cabinets and counters, more circuits and sometimes opening a wall to the dining room. We plan the layout, order materials and schedule each trade.
Kitchen Remodeling details →What to know before a project in Magnolia
- Permits. Permits and inspections in Magnolia are handled by Magnolia 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.
- Drainage. Poor grading and short downspouts cause most basement water problems. We look at both before any basement or foundation-adjacent work.
- 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.
- House age. Roughly 48% of Magnolia 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.
Questions from Magnolia homeowners
What does a bathroom remodel involve in a 1950s Magnolia home?
Usually replacing old galvanized or cast-iron piping, repairing the subfloor around the toilet and tub, adding proper exhaust ventilation and upgrading waterproofing behind the tile. We check for all of it at the estimate.
Is it worth remodeling a small post-war house in Magnolia?
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 Magnolia?
Many projects do, including decks, roofing, basements, structural changes and most plumbing and electrical work. Permits go through Magnolia Borough. We handle the application and inspections.
