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.

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.

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.
