You Love Your Home, We Make It Better

Most of the homes in Northfield weren’t built for open-concept living. The kitchen is walled off. The dining room is its own separate room nobody sits in. The family room is a third compartment on the other side of the house. A lot of the calls we get from Northfield homeowners start the same way. “We love the house, the location is perfect, but the layout is killing us.” Opening up the first floor of a Northfield ranch or split-level is one of the more transformative projects we do, and it happens to be the kind of remodel our team does particularly well.

We’re 10 minutes up the road in Egg Harbor Township. Justin Ungaro founded Jayhawk Construction in 2018, holds NJ HIC License #13VH11869600, and stays directly involved on every project from the first estimate through the final walkthrough. That matters on layout changes specifically, because the structural calls on what can come out and what can’t are the ones that drive the whole project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jayhawk Construction did a complete full remodel and addition on our home in Ventnor heights. There were many issues with our home after it was purchased. Justin and his team took the time to correct structural issues along with transforming our home. I highly recommend jayhawk construction for remodeling and additions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been a few months since Justin and the crew finished the project but never got the time until now to write how amazing and easy they were to work with ! Finished our basement (except ceiling but that’s next project !) and Justin and the team was able to finish in less than 2 weeks ! Justin made process easy and the team was precise and thorough . Will definitely contact Jayhawk for future projects !

From the moment we shared our vision for the house, Justin truly listened and helped us imagine how to bring it to life. Throughout the entire process—from planning to the final day of construction—everything was handled with professionalism, care, and top-notch quality. Every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and the end result is absolutely gorgeous. We are beyond happy with the outcome and so grateful for Justin and his team's hard work. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jayhawk showed up on time every day. They worked a full day, only a short lunch break. Very satisfied and happy with their work and they cleaned up after each shift. Would definitely recommend them.

Northfield Showing It's Age

Why So Much Of Our Northfield Work Involves Opening Things Up

Guts Are Common

A lot of Northfield’s housing stock is from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. The layouts reflect it. Galley kitchens. Formal dining rooms. Small primary bedrooms. Compartmentalized first floors with a doorway between every room. Those layouts made sense when the homes were built. They don’t work as well for how families live now, with kids doing homework at the counter while dinner is cooking and everyone gathering in one connected space on the weekends.

The most common first question we get is whether a wall can come down. Sometimes yes with no structural concern, sometimes yes with an engineered beam in place, occasionally no. We never talk a homeowner into removing a wall that shouldn’t come out, and we never tell you a wall can’t come down when it absolutely can. Every first-floor opening starts with a structural evaluation, because the answer changes how the rest of the project gets scoped and priced.

Custom Home Remodels

What We Handle In Northfield

Often the anchor of an open-concept conversion, but just as often a standalone project. New cabinetry, stone or quartz counters, modern appliances, and a layout that matches how your household actually cooks and entertains. Most full kitchen remodels run 8 to 14 weeks.

Half-baths, hall baths, and full primary suite remodels with walk-in showers, soaker tubs, double vanities, and heated tile floors when the homeowner wants them. Tile and plumbing are in-house, which means no gap between trades waiting on a subcontractor to show up.

When the whole house is getting the treatment. Kitchen, baths, flooring, trim, new windows and siding, and often a layout change that reworks how the first floor flows. These projects get planned months in advance and run 4 to 8 months on site.

Rear additions for expanded kitchens and family rooms. Side additions for primary suites. Second-story additions when the footprint is locked in. Additions need engineering, architectural drawings, and permits, and we manage every step of it as part of the scope.
