Popular projects in Somerdale
These are the services Somerdale homeowners ask us about most. All of our other services are available too.
Deck Building
Many Somerdale decks were added decades ago without modern footings or flashing. We replace them with code-compliant structures in wood or composite. We offer composite and pressure-treated lumber.
Deck Building details →Kitchen Remodeling
Many Somerdale 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 coordinate permits for plumbing and electrical changes.
Kitchen Remodeling details →Bathroom Remodeling
Post-war Somerdale bathrooms tend to be small, with original tile and galvanized supply lines. We replace the plumbing, add real exhaust ventilation and make the most of the space. Accessible, curbless showers are available.
Bathroom Remodeling details →Roofing & Siding
For Somerdale'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 inspect the attic before quoting.
Roofing & Siding details →Finished Basements
In post-war Somerdale homes, many basements need drainage improvements first. Then we frame with moisture-resistant materials and finish the space. We handle permits and inspections.
Finished Basements details →What to know before a project in Somerdale
- Permits. Somerdale Borough handles construction permits and inspections for Somerdale. We prepare the drawings and applications, schedule inspections and keep the approved permit on site.
- Post-war construction. About 41% of Somerdale homes were built before 1960. Houses from that era may have galvanized pipes, undersized electrical service, little insulation and lead paint. We check these at the estimate.
- 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.
Questions from Somerdale homeowners
Do you replace original decks and patios on Somerdale homes?
Yes. We remove old decks, check the ledger connection at the house and build new decks with proper footings, flashing and railings, under a permit from Somerdale Borough.
Is it worth remodeling a small post-war house in Somerdale?
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 Somerdale?
Many projects do, including decks, roofing, basements, structural changes and most plumbing and electrical work. Permits go through Somerdale Borough. We handle the application and inspections.
