Brick Township stretches from the mainland to the Barnegat Peninsula, with lagoon streets, canal-side homes and busy suburban blocks. Homes here range from 1950s capes and ranches to bayfront houses rebuilt after Sandy, and we have built in Brick before. The usual requests are more room, a modern kitchen or bath, and exteriors that hold up near the water.

What we build in Brick
Home additions · Add-a-levels · Kitchens · Bathrooms · Basements · Roofing · Siding · Windows · Decks · Pavers & patios · Sunrooms. Additions, add-a-levels, whole-home renovations and new construction are built by Remodeling Network directly. For trades we don't build ourselves, our Preferred Contractors network prices the same written scope.
Brick homes: what to plan for
- Lagoons and the barrier peninsula. Waterfront streets and the Barnegat Peninsula are in FEMA flood zones. Elevation, bulkheads and the substantial-improvement rule can change what a project costs, so we check them first.
- Post-Sandy rebuilds. Many Brick homes were raised, repaired or rebuilt. New decks, siding and additions must tie into the elevated structure and its foundation.
- Mid-century capes and ranches. Lots are often small, so setbacks and lot coverage decide whether the answer is a rear addition, a second story or a smart interior remodel.
- Tight blocks. Where houses are close together, access, staging and neighbor courtesy matter. Dumpster placement, work hours and clear communication keep a project moving.
Permits and inspections in Brick
Brick Township's construction office issues building, electrical, plumbing and fire permits under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code and schedules the inspections. Your written scope lists which permits your project needs and who pulls them. Contractors must hold a New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration; ours is #13VH11195900, and every contractor on our Preferred Contractors page shows theirs.
How it works
Every request is read by a real person. We start by helping you turn what you want into a clear, written scope — the work, the materials, the allowances, the permits and the warranty — so you know exactly what you're buying before anyone prices it.
From there, we either build the project ourselves or introduce you to licensed, insured New Jersey contractors from our network who price that same scope. You compare the proposals apples to apples, and you make the final decision. We never choose for you.
Brick remodeling FAQs
Can you add a second story to a small Brick cape?
Often. Foundation, existing framing, height limits and setbacks decide. At the visit we check them and tell you whether an add-a-level or a rear addition fits your lot better.
Do you work on waterfront and lagoon homes in Brick?
Yes. Waterfront homes add flood-zone and bulkhead considerations, which we raise at the first visit and put in the written scope so every bid you compare covers the same work.
Will Remodeling Network do the work itself or refer me to another contractor?
Both happen. Additions, add-a-levels, renovations and new construction are usually built by Remodeling Network directly. For other trades we introduce you to licensed, insured contractors from our network who price your written scope, and you choose. We never guarantee another contractor's work, and we tell you up front which arrangement applies.
