Roofing & Siding
For Westmont'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 install drip edge, ice-and-water shield and proper flashing on every roof.
Roofing & Siding details →Painting
We paint Westmont homes inside and out, repairing trim and using lead-safe methods on pre-1978 homes. We finish with a final walkthrough.
Painting details →Finished Basements
In post-war Westmont homes, many basements need drainage improvements first. Then we frame with moisture-resistant materials and finish the space. Bathrooms and wet bars are available.
Finished Basements details →Kitchen Remodeling
Many Westmont 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 plan the layout, order materials and schedule each trade.
Kitchen Remodeling details →Bathroom Remodeling
Post-war Westmont 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. We finish with tile, fixtures and paint.
Bathroom Remodeling details →What to know before a project in Westmont
- Permits. Westmont is an unincorporated community, not its own municipality, so permits and inspections go through Haddon Township under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. We confirm the correct office from your property record and file for you.
- Climate. Humid summers and wet winters mean moisture control matters. That includes bathroom exhaust fans vented outdoors, dehumidified basements and flashing that keeps rain out of walls.
- House age. Roughly 62% of Westmont homes were built before 1960. Many were built quickly after the war, so we often find undersized headers, minimal attic insulation, original electrical panels and lead paint.
- Drainage. Poor grading and short downspouts cause most basement water problems. We look at both before any basement or foundation-adjacent work.
