Local considerations

What to know before a project in Thorofare

  • Permits. Thorofare is an unincorporated community, not its own municipality, so permits and inspections go through West Deptford Township under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. We confirm the correct office from your property record and file for you.
  • Water nearby. Homes near the Delaware River can see higher humidity, wet basements or mapped flood zones. We check the flood map and the house's moisture history, and we plan drainage, flashing and materials accordingly.
  • 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.
  • Newer construction. About 48% of Thorofare homes have been built since 2000. Those houses are now due for first roof replacements, basement finishing and upgrades from builder-grade finishes, and some neighborhoods have association rules for exterior changes.
