Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Upper Township, NJ
Upper Township NJ remodeling by Tom Thornton, about 11–23 minutes from our Ocean City base: kitchens and bathrooms with the owner on every job and local permits handled.

Remodeling Upper Township’s Homes
Upper Township stretches from the Great Egg Harbor Bay in the north to the barrier-island beach community of Strathmere in the east. It includes Marmora, Beesleys Point, Palermo and Seaville, with Petersburg and Tuckahoe farther out. Also, it is a mix of year-round family homes on larger lots in Marmora and Seaville, bayside houses at Beesleys Point, and beach homes on the narrow island in Strathmere. Because the township covers so much ground, no two streets have exactly the same housing.
Upper Township NJ remodeling means one contractor from the first visit to the final walkthrough. Tom also measures, designs, orders materials and pulls permits. He also manages the crew, so you never coordinate the trades yourself.
Kitchen Remodeling in Upper Township
Family homes in Marmora and Seaville often have kitchens that were built for a smaller household. We frequently see owners ask for more counter space, a bigger island and a better connection to the family room. In Strathmere, the kitchen is often a rental or second-home kitchen where durability and ease of cleaning matter more than anything. We also match the cabinets, flooring and counters to the way the house is used.
In addition, see our kitchen remodeling page and kitchen cost guide for details.
Bathroom Remodeling in Upper Township
Bathrooms in Upper Township range from compact beach-house baths that need better ventilation and tile to full primary suites in newer homes. We also build every shower with a continuous membrane and flood-test it. In addition, we look hard at fan size and venting on houses that are closed up for part of the year.

Permits in Upper Township
Permit work in Upper Township goes through the town’s own construction office, not Ocean City’s. In addition, visit the Upper Township municipal website and look for the Construction Code or Building Department page for current forms, fees and hours. We also prepare and submit the application and schedule the inspections, and our Ocean City permit guide explains what typically needs a permit and what does not.

Planning Tips for Upper Township Homeowners
Because Upper Township covers so many different neighborhoods, the right plan depends on the house. In addition, for a Strathmere beach house, we focus on durable surfaces and flood-smart materials. For a Marmora or Seaville family home on a larger lot, we focus on layout and storage. Also, tell us which village you are in and how many months a year you live in the house, and we will tailor the scope.
