Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Margate, NJ
Margate NJ remodeling by Tom Thornton, about 16 minutes from our Ocean City base: kitchens and bathrooms with the owner on every job and local permits handled.
Remodeling Margate’s Homes
Margate City, home of Lucy the Elephant, sits on Absecon Island between Longport and Ventnor. Also, its blocks mix original 1920s to 1950s bungalows and duplexes, raised-up rebuilds and tear-downs, and condominiums along the bay. A lot of Margate homes are family houses that have been in the same hands for generations, and many are in flood zones.
Margate 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 Margate
Older Margate kitchens are often small, tucked at the back of the house, and short on counter space. We also expand them by borrowing space from adjacent rooms, adding islands or peninsulas, and putting storage on every wall. In addition, for a duplex or rental, durable counters and floors that tolerate sand matter most.
Also, see our kitchen remodeling page and kitchen cost guide for details.
Bathroom Remodeling in Margate
Margate bathrooms often have original tile and tubs. We replace them with waterproofed walk-in showers or tub-showers, add storage, and improve fans so the humid summers do not undo the work. In addition, condo owners can see our condo bathroom page for HOA tips.

Permits in Margate
Permit work in Margate goes through the town’s own construction office, not Ocean City’s. In addition, visit the Margate 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 Margate Homeowners
Older Margate houses often have kitchens and baths squeezed into small footprints. Before we finalize a design we look at what is behind the walls and above the ceiling: ducts, vents, wiring and framing that could limit a layout change. In addition, knowing that early keeps the budget honest. We also help owners compare a refresh with a full remodel.
