Quality Construction Since 2014

Home Remodeling Contractors Serving Avalon, NJ

Avalon isn’t like other towns on our service list. The homes here are expensive, the borough’s construction rules are strict, and the margin for error on a remodel is basically zero. That’s why homeowners in Avalon call us.

Jayhawk Construction handles kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, whole-house renovations, additions, and custom deck builds across Avalon — from the north end beach blocks down through the bayfront on the west side. We’re based in Egg Harbor Township, about 25 minutes up the parkway, and we’ve been working on shore properties in Cape May County since we opened in 2014.

If you own property in Avalon and you’re looking for a contractor who handles the entire project — framing through final finishes — we’re it. Jayhawk Construction specializes in custom remodeling for homeowners who expect high-end results and won’t settle for less. We’ve been doing this across Avalon and the surrounding shore towns since 2014, and every project gets direct oversight from our founder, Justin Ungaro.

A Level Of Quality Unmatched

Remodeling Services We Offer In Avalon

Avalon kitchens tend to be the social center of the house — especially in summer when you’ve got a full house of family or renters and everyone gravitates to the kitchen and the island. We do full gut-and-rebuild kitchen renovations: custom cabinetry, quartz and natural stone countertops, new appliance packages, layout changes, and flooring. If you’ve got a closed-off galley kitchen in an older Avalon home and want to open it up to the living area, that’s a project we handle regularly.

Bathrooms in shore homes take more abuse than anywhere else. Sand, salt air, humidity from showers running five times a day in July — most builder-grade finishes and ventilation systems weren’t designed for that. We do full bathroom renovations with proper waterproofing, moisture-resistant materials, tile showers with linear drains, heated floors, and ventilation that actually pulls humidity out of the room. If you’ve got a master bath that’s been untouched for 15+ years, it’s probably time.

When the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring all need work, doing them as one coordinated project saves money and cuts the total timeline. We handle whole-house renovations where we’re touching multiple major areas of the home in a single project — demolition through final walkthrough, one crew, one schedule. For Avalon homeowners, this is especially practical because of the borough’s construction season restrictions (more on that below).

Need more space but don’t want to sell? We build frame-to-finish additions — second-story adds, bump-outs, and expanded living areas. In Avalon, additions require careful attention to setback requirements, height restrictions (measured from freeboard elevation), and flood zone compliance. We handle the permit process with the borough’s construction office.

A deck in Avalon isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s the reason people buy here. We build composite and wood decks, rooftop decks, screened porches, and outdoor living spaces designed to hold up to the shore environment. Material selection matters: we spec composite decking and stainless or coated fasteners that won’t corrode in salt air within two seasons.
