"This is the second time we have used Rowland and the team at Dwell Renovations. We built a full addition for my mother in law. Kitchen, living room, bath, bedroom. We couldn’t be happier with how it came out and my MIL is unbelievably pleased. Rowland and all of the contractors, electricians, plumbers and tile folks treated the job like they were working on their own homes. They were patient with our hundreds of questions and requests. Rowland kept us in the loop every step of the way and met , or beat, every timeline. He always had great advice and a keen eye for the details."

"We hired the king to build a brand new bedroom and remodel 2 other bedrooms and a bathroom. The work included installing new hardwood floors, electrical, drywall, painting, installing a window, and building new closets. Harry was great at setting up the initial consult and quickly gave us a quote. They got everything done in about 2.5 weeks which is what was quoted. Harry was very responsive throughout the whole process and easy to get a hold of. His crew was respectful and carful with our home and ensured they cleaned up every day. Bill was great and was able to complete the final task list of items we had for him before final walk thru. Our rooms came out fantastic and look great. Harry was also able to paint our master bedroom which was an add on request. Overall we are very happy with everything and would recommend the king for any home remodeling or design build type work."

This is the first review I've ever written and have to say Derek did a fantastic job painting my home.  Derek is a honest, hardworking guy who did a beautiful job on our home.  He was on time, very professional and was completely trustworthy!  I was not there the entire time but left the key and remote to my home with him.  He finished painting, cleaned everything up and left the house just as I would have.  My walls have rounded corners which are hard to paint when going from room to room with different colors but he did it effortlessly.  I was so satisfied with the beautiful painting he did we had him back two months later to paint the first floor of our home.  I would highly recommend using A+ Professional Painting - you will be very pleased you did!

"Wonderfully. The Al-Arsh crew is always reliable, prompt, professional and highly-skilled. Their work is always done exceptionally well and the owner, Malik, always makes sure it is finished to perfection. Even when we needed something tweaked or if plans changed after they finished, they come and do whatever is needed when needed, cheerfully. Their prices are more than fair and they guarantee their work. We have had Al-Arsh do work for us over the years totaling at least $250K and we ALWAYS chose them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Before starting any home building, photograph your existing structure to document its condition for flood insurance purposes. Safely perform routine maintenance, like rinsing exterior surfaces to remove salt and clearing debris from foundation flood vents. Never enclose the space beneath an elevated home without professional guidance, as this violates strict Lavallette flood codes and creates severe safety hazards during storm surges.

Helpful?

Start by checking your flood zone designation, as Lavallette sits on a barrier island with strict elevation standards. You must also verify your lot size and setback rules with local zoning offices. Older homes on slab foundations require major structural updates to meet modern flood codes. Always confirm your base flood elevation requirements before starting home building to ensure your property stays safe and compliant.

Helpful?

Narrow lots and tight property lines complicate home building in Lavallette. Expanding your footprint easily triggers setback violations or requires zoning variances. If you own an older home on a slab foundation, major additions mandate elevating the entire structure to meet flood codes. For elevated homes, an engineer must assess the foundation to confirm new additions will not compromise the required structural load paths.

Helpful?

Homeowners across NJ favor reverse living floor plans, placing main living areas on the upper floors to maximize beautiful water views. Elevated home building naturally encourages rooftop decks and wraparound porches. To withstand the harsh coastal environment, you should choose resilient exterior materials like fiber cement siding and composite trim. Many residents also incorporate high-efficiency HVAC systems and improved insulation during their structural upgrades.

Helpful?

Coastal storms and persistent salt air heavily influence home building in NJ. High winds require enhanced structural fastening, while salty humidity demands stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized hardware to prevent corrosion. Because the barrier island has a very shallow water table, you cannot construct basements or deep footings. Plan your timeline carefully, as the local construction season peaks from late spring through early fall.
