Additions & new builds in Stone Harbor.
Additions in Stone Harbor are a careful, premium scope — strict review, flood elevation rules, setback constraints. Most adds we do here are second-story additions on existing footprints or back-of-house bumps; tear-down rebuilds happen but they're separate scope. Design and permit phase runs four to six months; build phase four to six. We coordinate every step including the borough's architectural review.
Stone Harbor is about 40 minutes from our Mays Landing shop. Seven Mile Island affluent shore town: high-end shore homes, contemporary tear-down rebuilds, premium second residences, strict zoning and architectural review. Township ZIP: 08247.

What we add to a house
An addition is half construction, half logistics. Both have to be right or the project drags.
- 01
Second-story additions
Adding a floor over an existing footprint. Foundation review, structural reinforcement, full framing.
- 02
Primary-suite additions
Bedroom, bath, closet bumped onto the back or side of the house. Connect to existing HVAC or add a zone.
- 03
Dormers
Shed, gable, eyebrow. Add headroom and light to attic conversions.
- 04
Sunrooms & four-season rooms
Insulated, heated, year-round usable. Not "three-season-marketed-as-four."
- 05
Garage conversions & additions
Convert to living space, or add the garage you should have had. Building-code conversion for either.
- 06
Full new builds
Tear-down, foundation, framing, finish. From a set of architect drawings to keys.
From the first call to the punch list.
Every project goes through these four phases. We don't skip steps.

Additions & new builds in Stone Harbor — questions we hear.
-
Stone Harbor has rigorous building review — what's the realistic permit timeline?
For interior remodels (kitchens, bathrooms, floors), Stone Harbor's review is straightforward — typically 2–4 weeks. For decks, additions, exterior work, and substantial-improvement scope, the review cycle is longer (6–10 weeks is typical) because the borough reviews carefully for setbacks, height, flood elevation, and architectural conformity. We plan for that timeline up front so it doesn't affect the project schedule.
-
Do you have an architect, or do we hire our own?
Either works. We have architects we've worked with for years and can introduce you, or we'll build from drawings you bring.
-
Will I need to move out during the addition?
For a second-story add, usually yes during the framing phase (a couple of weeks). For most additions, no — we contain the work area and keep the existing house buttoned up.
-
How long does the permit process take?
In Atlantic County townships, typically 4–8 weeks for a residential addition. Coastal flood zones add time. We start it the day plans are signed.
-
What does an addition cost per square foot?
Honestly varies too much for a useful number — finishes, foundation type, mechanicals all swing it. A simple bedroom addition can be much less per square foot than a primary suite with a tile shower. We send itemized estimates so you can see the components.
