Mullica Hill, NJ General Contractor & Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen remodels, finished basements, decks and roofing for Mullica Hill's historic village and its newer neighborhoods.
A historic village surrounded by newer homes
Mullica Hill is named for the sons of Eric Mullica, an early Swedish settler of Finnish ancestry, who began buying land on the north bank of Raccoon Creek. The village along Main Street, High Street, Church Street and Mill Street is now the Mullica Hill Historic District, a 68-acre district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Mullica Hill is a community within Harrison Township, and the township has grown quickly: about 42 percent of its homes have been built since 2000.
That means two very different kinds of projects. In the historic village, the work is careful repair and remodeling of older buildings. In the newer subdivisions, it is finishing basements, upgrading builder kitchens and baths, and adding decks. Big Cat General Contractor handles both, throughout Mullica Hill, Richwood and the rest of Harrison Township.

Kitchen remodeling in Mullica Hill
Mullica Hill kitchens tend to fall into two groups. In homes built since 2000, the layout usually works, and the goal is to replace builder-grade cabinets and counters, add or enlarge an island, improve the lighting and run new flooring through the first floor. In older homes in the village, a kitchen remodel often starts behind the walls: checking the floor framing, adding dedicated appliance circuits and planning cabinets around walls that are rarely square.
Either way, you get a written scope that lists the cabinets, counters, tile, lighting and flooring, and who handles each trade. Electrical and plumbing changes are permitted and inspected by Harrison Township, and we file those applications. Our kitchen remodeling page explains how we plan layouts and selections.
Finished basements and decks in newer neighborhoods
Many newer Mullica Hill homes came with an unfinished basement and a bare backyard. Both can be scoped alongside a kitchen or bath so the trades and permits are scheduled once. A basement finish starts with a moisture check and an egress plan. A new deck starts with footings, a flashed ledger and a railing layout that meets code.

As your general contractor, Big Cat coordinates every trade on the project, from framing and drywall to tile, trim and paint, so you have one point of contact from the estimate to the final walkthrough.
What to plan for in Mullica Hill
- Permits go through Harrison Township. Mullica Hill is not a separate municipality, so building permits for Mullica Hill addresses are issued by Harrison Township's construction office under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code.
- The historic district. If your home is in the National Register district, check with the township about any local review before changing exterior features. Buildings in the village are often much older than the surrounding homes. Those built before 1978 fall under federal lead-safe rules when painted surfaces are disturbed.
- Storm exposure. On September 1, 2021, the remnants of Hurricane Ida produced an EF3 tornado that destroyed homes and farms in the Mullica Hill area. Open farmland also leaves many homes exposed to wind, so secure roofing and siding installation matters here.
- Water and soil. Raccoon Creek runs through the village, and low-lying lots near it should be checked against flood maps. Finishing a basement starts with confirming it stays dry through the wet seasons.
Questions from Mullica Hill homeowners
Do you finish basements in new Mullica Hill homes?
Yes. We check moisture and egress first, handle the permit through Harrison Township, and finish the space to your plan.
Can you work on homes in the historic village?
Yes. Older buildings need more investigation before work starts, and exterior changes may need local review. We plan the scope around both.
Is Mullica Hill part of Harrison Township?
Yes. Mullica Hill is a community within Harrison Township, so permits and inspections go through the township.
Can a new roof hold up better in high winds?
Following the shingle manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern and using proper starter strips, drip edge and flashing all help, and some products carry higher wind ratings. We explain the options at the estimate.
Do you serve other parts of Harrison Township?
Yes. We work throughout the township, including Richwood and the newer neighborhoods around Mullica Hill.
Do you remodel kitchens in newer Mullica Hill homes as well as older ones?
Yes. In newer homes the work is usually cabinets, counters, an island, lighting and flooring. In older village homes we also check the framing and wiring before the plan is final.
Who pulls the permit for a Mullica Hill kitchen remodel?
We do. Mullica Hill addresses are permitted by Harrison Township, and we file the applications and schedule the inspections for the work in our scope.
