Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Avalon, NJ
Avalon NJ remodeling by Tom Thornton, about 30 minutes from our Ocean City base: kitchens and bathrooms with the owner on every job and local permits handled.

Remodeling Avalon’s Homes
Avalon is the northern half of Seven Mile Island, in Cape May County, and is known for large single-family shore homes, many rebuilt or elevated and mostly used as second homes. Owners expect high-end finishes and a smooth process, even when they are living elsewhere for much of the year.
Avalon 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 Avalon
Avalon kitchens are built for entertaining: big islands, walk-in pantries, wine and beverage stations and views toward the water. Because many owners do not live in Avalon full time, we handle keys, deliveries and photo updates, and pick materials that tolerate months of vacancy and a busy summer.
Also, see our kitchen remodeling page and kitchen cost guide for details.
Bathroom Remodeling in Avalon
Primary suites and guest baths in Avalon homes are expected to be both beautiful and trouble-free. We also build with a continuous waterproofing system, large-format porcelain or natural stone, quality fixtures and strong exhaust fans. We also plan humidity control for the months a house sits empty.
In addition, see our bathroom remodeling page and bathroom cost guide.
Permits in Avalon
Permit work in Avalon goes through the town’s own construction office, not Ocean City’s. Also, visit the Avalon 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 Avalon Homeowners
Avalon projects usually start with a conversation about the calendar: when you are in town, when the house is rented, and when you want it done. We build a schedule backward from your first summer use, order long-lead items early and keep you informed by photos and video so you do not have to be on site.
Ready to start? Avalon NJ remodeling begins with a free in-home visit, a written proposal and a fixed price before any work is scheduled.
Just 30 Minutes From Ocean City
Tri-County General Contracting is based in Ocean City, about 30 minutes’ drive from Avalon in light traffic (15.2 miles, more in July and August). Tom has been part of Ocean City for more than 20 years, so a call to him is a local call, not a dispatch center. Because we are farther out, we schedule estimates in advance and combine visits where we can. Also, neighboring towns we serve include Sea Isle City and Stone Harbor, and you can see them all on our service area page.
