The township surrounds much of Swedesboro and borders East Greenwich, Harrison, Logan and South Harrison townships plus Oldmans and Pilesgrove in Salem County.

We serve homeowners in the newer developments throughout the township and older farmhouses along the rural roads.

Deck Building
Newer Woolwich 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.

In newer Woolwich homes, kitchen work is usually an upgrade from builder-grade cabinets and counters, with better lighting, an island or a pantry. We plan the layout, order materials and schedule each trade.
Kitchen Remodeling details →Bathroom Remodeling
For newer Woolwich 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.

- Permits. Permits and inspections in Woolwich are handled by Woolwich 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.
- House age. About 78% of Woolwich homes have been built since 2000. Builder-grade finishes, unfinished basements and aging decks are the most common reasons owners call us.
- 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.
