From Towaco to Pine Brook, we design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations for Montville Township homeowners.
Montville Township covers about 19 square miles of Morris County, with the sections of Montville, Towaco and Pine Brook. Towaco grew along the Morris Canal, completed in 1828, and has a station on the Montclair-Boonton Line, while Pine Brook at the south end was long agricultural. Washington stayed in Towaco in June 1780.
Montville's housing ranges from older homes near the historic centers to larger later houses. Owners often want a primary suite, a larger kitchen or a second floor, and our engineers evaluate the existing structure first.
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.
Hillside lots affect footings, drainage and retaining walls, and some low lying areas are near streams. We check slopes and flood mapping before design.
Larger newer homes often use engineered floor and roof systems. We design new openings, beams and connections that work with them.
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.
