From the historic Main Street district to Brookside and Ralston, we design and engineer additions, renovations and new homes for Mendham homeowners.
Mendham Borough sits at the northern end of the Somerset Hills, surrounded by Mendham Township, and the North Branch of the Raritan River begins there. The 153 acre Mendham Historic District along Main Street, listed on the National Register in 1985, includes 140 contributing buildings, and the borough has had a historic preservation ordinance since 1999. In the township, the hamlets of Brookside and Ralston are both National Register historic districts.
Both Mendhams rank among the highest income communities in New Jersey, and homeowners here tend to invest in their houses: estate renovations, primary suites, kitchens and new homes on larger lots. Our engineers design the structure together with the architecture.
Licensed architects and professional engineers on one team, one contract and one set of signed and sealed drawings. See all of our services.
Rear, side and wraparound additions for kitchens, family rooms and primary suites, with the existing house evaluated by our engineers.
New floors over ranches, capes, garages and one story wings, with foundations and framing checked and reinforced as needed.
Whole house and partial renovations, wall removals and open plans, basements and attics, with structure and systems designed in house.
Ground up single family homes and teardown rebuilds, from site planning to sealed construction drawings.
Decks, covered porches, pergolas and garages engineered for footings, ledgers and loads.
Beam replacements, foundation fixes and engineer's letters for homeowners, buyers and insurers.
In New Jersey, most additions and structural renovations need zoning approval from the town before the construction permit, and the construction permit itself is reviewed under the state Uniform Construction Code. When a design needs relief from a setback, coverage or height limit, it goes to the town's land use board for a variance hearing.
Homes in the Mendham Historic District, Brookside and Ralston may need historic review of exterior changes. We design additions that respect the original architecture and prepare drawings for that review.
Larger township lots bring septic, well, grading and stream questions. We work those out at the start.
However your project is approved, we deliver signed and sealed drawings to you, support you and your contractor through the permit submission and answer the building department's review comments in house. Read how a project moves from consultation to close out on our process page.
