About Tabernacle Township homes
Tabernacle Township was formed in 1901 from parts of Shamong, Southampton and Woodland townships and lies entirely within the state-designated Pinelands Area. It includes Apple Pie Hill, the Carranza Memorial and small settlements such as Friendship and Hampton Gate. Almost every home is a detached house, and most were built in the 1970s and 1980s.
Census estimates (ACS 2020-2024) describe Tabernacle's housing like this: The median home was built in 1977; the largest share was built in the 1970s; 6% have been built since 2000; 98% are detached single-family houses. Big Cat General Contractor works in homes throughout the township, from Route 206 to the pine forest roads.

Steel & Wood Framing details →Roofing & Siding
Many Tabernacle roofs from this era have undersized soffit venting and no ice barrier. We fix both during replacement and can re-side at the same time. We install drip edge, ice-and-water shield and proper flashing on every roof.
Roofing & Siding details →Deck Building
Many Tabernacle decks were built with nailed joist hangers and no ledger flashing. We replace them with a properly fastened, permitted structure. We finish with railings, stairs and lighting.

For Tabernacle bathrooms from the 1970s and 1980s, we tear out tub surrounds and vanities, fix subfloor damage and build tiled showers on a waterproofing system. Accessible, curbless showers are available.

- Permits. Permits and inspections in Tabernacle are handled by Tabernacle Township 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.
- Pinelands. All of Tabernacle is in the New Jersey Pinelands. Additions, new structures and land clearing can require Pinelands Commission review on top of the local permit. Sandy, fast-draining soil also affects deck footings and drainage.
- 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 62% of Tabernacle 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.
Questions from Tabernacle homeowners
Do you work on homes with private wells and septic systems?
Yes. For kitchen and bath projects on well and septic, we plan fixture changes with the septic system's capacity in mind. For additions, we check setbacks from the well and septic field before designing.
My Tabernacle home was built in the 1970s or 1980s. What usually needs updating?
Most commonly the roof, siding and windows, followed by kitchens, baths and decks. Some homes built from about 1965 to 1973 have aluminum branch wiring, which an electrician should evaluate during any remodel.
Do I need a permit for a remodel in Tabernacle?
Many projects do, including decks, roofing, basements, structural changes and most plumbing and electrical work. Permits go through Tabernacle Township. We handle the application and inspections.
