Renovate or rebuild on Seven Mile Island
Many Stone Harbor projects begin with the same question: is the existing house worth renovating, or is a rebuild the wiser investment? Elevation requirements, structure and what you want the house to become all weigh in. We evaluate honestly during design and give you a real comparison of both paths, priced, before you choose.

Building in Stone Harbor
What building and renovating in Stone Harbor involves
The south half of Seven Mile Island
Stone Harbor pairs upscale coastal living with a real year-round community: the shops and restaurants on 96th Street, the beach blocks and bayside lagoons north and south of it, and the quiet Stone Harbor Point and bird sanctuary end of the island toward Hereford Inlet. Its homes are held for generations and built or rebuilt to a standard that tolerates no shortcuts.
Renovate or rebuild
Many Stone Harbor projects begin with the same question: is the existing house worth renovating, or is a rebuild the wiser investment? Elevation requirements, structure and what you want the house to become all weigh in. Where a classic cottage's structure supports it, we preserve the character and rebuild everything that works hard. Where it does not, design/build keeps the architecture, engineering and construction in one team, which on a complex island rebuild is the difference between a process and an ordeal.
Permits and flood zones
Permits run through the Stone Harbor construction office at Borough Hall under the state Uniform Construction Code. The borough is a mapped coastal flood zone, so substantial renovations can trigger elevation requirements, new homes are designed to current elevation standards from the first sketch, and exterior work near the beach, the bay or the sanctuary can involve state coastal review. We would rather you know at the sketch stage than at the permit desk.

What Stone Harbor area homeowners say
Good to know
Stone Harbor renovation questions
Do you handle teardown and rebuild projects?
Yes, from demolition permits through the finished home. Design/build keeps the architecture, engineering and construction in one team, which on a complex island rebuild is the difference between a process and an ordeal.
Can you renovate a classic Stone Harbor cottage without losing its charm?
Yes, when the structure supports it, and we will tell you honestly whether it does. Where it does, we preserve the character and rebuild everything that works hard: kitchens, baths, systems, envelope.
How do flood elevations affect a major renovation here?
Substantial renovations can trigger elevation requirements depending on the scope and the structure's status. We resolve that question early in design, because it can shape the whole project, and we would rather you know at the sketch stage than at the permit desk.
Can you manage a Stone Harbor project for an out-of-town owner?
Yes, most of our clients here are exactly that. We run the project, send regular photo updates and schedule walk-throughs in person or by video at every milestone, and the schedule is engineered backward from a spring delivery.
Do you build new homes in Stone Harbor?
Yes. Design/build custom homes are the heart of our work, and island construction, elevation strategy, coastal engineering and premium finish are our home ground. Every home we build carries a 10 year structural warranty.
Do you handle permits and approvals in Stone Harbor?
Yes. Construction permits for a renovation or a new home run through the Stone Harbor construction office at Borough Hall, and we prepare and manage the applications as part of the project. New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code requires permits for structural work, additions, electrical, plumbing and most full renovations, and we build the approval timeline into the schedule so it never surprises you.
How long does a home renovation take in Stone Harbor?
It depends on scope, and on the island it also depends on the calendar. A bathroom is a few weeks of construction, a kitchen several weeks to a couple of months, and a whole-home renovation or new build runs in months. Most Stone Harbor projects are designed in late summer and built through the off-season so the house is ready by spring, and you get that schedule in writing after the design phase.
What does a kitchen or bathroom remodel cost in Stone Harbor?
Every Stone Harbor project is priced from its actual scope, materials and finishes, so we do not publish ranges; island work varies too much with elevation status, structure and finish level for a number to mean anything. What we promise is a fixed, written quote after design and selections are final. It moves only if you change the scope, and every change is approved by you first.
Where do I pick out materials for my project?
At our design studio and showroom on the Black Horse Pike in Pleasantville, a short drive from Stone Harbor. Cabinetry, countertops, vanities, flooring, fixtures and hardware are all on display, and our in-house designers walk you through the selections so the whole project is decided in one place instead of across six supplier showrooms.
