Kitchen Remodeling
Owners of newer Richwood homes usually want to replace laminate or basic granite, add pendant and under-cabinet lighting, and extend or add an island. We plan the layout, order materials and schedule each trade.
Kitchen Remodeling details →Bathroom Remodeling
For newer Richwood bathrooms, we often swap a garden tub for a large walk-in shower with a bench and niche, and add a frameless glass door. Most bath remodels take a few weeks once materials are on site.
Bathroom Remodeling details →Roofing & Siding
On newer Richwood homes, we see shingles wearing out early from poor attic ventilation. We correct the intake and exhaust venting when we replace the roof. We install drip edge, ice-and-water shield and proper flashing on every roof.
Roofing & Siding details →Finished Basements
Many newer Richwood homes have unfinished poured-concrete basements that are good candidates for finished living space, including bathrooms and bedrooms with code-compliant egress. Framing, insulation, drywall, flooring and lighting are all part of the scope.
Finished Basements details →Deck Building
Newer Richwood homes often have a sliding door and no deck yet. We design and build wood or composite decks under a township permit. Every deck we build is permitted and inspected.

- Permits. Richwood is an unincorporated community, not its own municipality, so permits and inspections go through Harrison Township (a small part of Richwood is in Mantua Township) under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. We confirm the correct office from your property record and file for you.
- 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.
- Storms. Nor'easters and the remnants of tropical storms bring heavy wind and rain. We use high-wind shingle nailing patterns, sealed flashing and secure gutter hangers.
- House age. About 40% of Richwood homes have been built since 2000. Builder-grade finishes, unfinished basements and aging decks are the most common reasons owners call us.
