Remodeling in Fair Haven
Room to grow, straight up
Fair Haven did most of its building from 1940 to 1969: 51% of today's homes. A 1950s house on a Fair Haven lot can run out of bedrooms long before it runs out of charm, and a dormer or a second story fixes that.
Outgrown the house?
Only 21% of Fair Haven's owner households have a householder 65 or older. If your family has outgrown the house, an addition or a finished basement can beat moving.
Permits through Rumson
Fair Haven merged its construction office with Rumson's in June 2007. Permits for Fair Haven homes now run through the Rumson Building & Construction Office on East River Road.
Older houses, lead-safe work
74% of homes here were built before 1980. A pre-1978 home needs lead-safe work practices. Ask us how we handle it.

Where do Fair Haven residents get building permits?
Fair Haven homes go to Rumson's Building & Construction Office on East River Road, a shared service. Call 732-842-3022.
Do you build along River Road?
Yes. We cover River Road, Fair Haven Fields and every other street in the borough.
Can a 1950s Fair Haven house take a second floor?
Sometimes. An engineer has to confirm the foundation and walls can carry it, and the borough's zoning has to allow the height.
