- Permits. Monroe Township handles construction permits and inspections for Monroe Township. We prepare the drawings and applications, schedule inspections and keep the approved permit on site.
- House age. About 42% of Monroe Township 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.
- 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.
- 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.
