Remodeling in Freehold
Freehold Township
13,448 homes, 84% owner-occupied, and half built by 1984: large developments and colonials, many now past 40. Permits are filed with Freehold Township Construction, Housing & Code Enforcement at 1 Municipal Plaza, and the township takes them online.
Freehold Borough
4,379 homes, half of them built by 1960. The single biggest group dates to 1939 or earlier, and 77% went up before 1980. The Borough runs its own Construction Department at 30 Mechanic Street, Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
The Borough's historic district
Inside Freehold Borough's Historic Preservation District, a project goes through a Certificate of Appropriateness review with the Historic Preservation Commission before the land-use hearing. Ask about it before you plan outside changes.
Older Borough homes
Old houses can hide old wiring and tired pipes behind the plaster, so we keep a cushion in the plan. Homes built before 1978 need lead-safe work practices. Ask us how we handle it.
Bathrooms in Freehold's 1980s colonials
Half of Freehold Township's homes were built by 1984, which puts a colonial bathroom that's never been redone past 40. Hall bath or primary, the plan starts with the shower valve, the drain and the subfloor, and the price comes in writing. Ballpark ranges are on our bathroom remodeling page.
