Kitchens for Longport’s beach and bay houses
Longport is the small borough at the southern tip of Absecon Island, past Margate. Most homes here are large single-family beach and bay houses, and many are second homes. The kitchen is usually the center of the house: built to cook for a crowd, open to the living space and often to a deck.
Longport owners tend to want high-end cabinetry, stone counters, pro-style appliances and lighting that makes the room work at night. They also want a firm schedule, because the house needs to be ready when the family arrives.

We recently remodeled the kitchen in a beach-block Longport home with quartz countertops and Viking appliances.
Getting the details right in a high-end kitchen
Pro-style ranges need the right gas line, electrical circuit and a hood sized and ducted outside to match. Large islands need the floor and lighting planned around them. We work through those details before ordering, so the appliances and cabinets fit the first time.
Near the ocean, finish choice matters as much as style: plywood-box cabinets, quartz counters, porcelain tile and stainless or coated hardware hold up to salt air and long closed-up winters.

Remodeling a Longport kitchen from out of town
Many Longport owners live elsewhere most of the year. Jim sends photo and video updates and can walk you through the job on FaceTime, so you can approve finishes and follow progress from anywhere. Longport’s beachfront condo buildings have their own association rules, which we handle up front. More on our work in Longport.
Common questions
What does a high-end kitchen remodel cost in Longport, NJ?
Most kitchen remodels we quote fall between $25,000 and $100,000, depending on size, layout changes, cabinet line and countertop material. Pro-style appliances and custom cabinetry put a project toward the upper end. A free walk-through gets you a written number.
How long does a Longport kitchen renovation take?
Plan on 6 to 8 weeks of on-site work once cabinets and counters arrive, plus cabinet lead time before work starts. Custom cabinets and specialty appliances can have longer lead times, so we order early.
Can my Longport kitchen be finished before summer?
Yes, if we start in the fall or winter. Tell Jim your arrival date and we schedule backward from it.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Longport?
Moving plumbing or gas, adding circuits or changing walls usually does. We tell you what needs a permit through the Borough of Longport’s construction office and handle the process.
Does a flood zone affect my Longport kitchen remodel?
It can. Much of Longport sits in a FEMA flood zone. If a renovation’s cost reaches 50% of the home’s market value, FEMA’s substantial improvement rule can require bringing the whole house up to current flood standards, including elevation. A single kitchen rarely reaches that line, but larger projects can.
Do you install Viking and other pro-style appliances?
Yes. We recently remodeled a Longport kitchen with Viking appliances and plan the gas, electrical and venting around the appliances you choose.
