From the Victorian streets of Cape May to the beaches of Avalon and Stone Harbor to the inland communities of Middle and Dennis Townships — we design and install custom sunrooms, screen rooms, and patio enclosures built specifically for Cape May’s coastal climate.
Cape May County is the southernmost county in New Jersey — a peninsula bounded by Delaware Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, with five barrier islands stretching along thirty miles of coastline. We design and install custom outdoor living additions across the full county footprint, from the beach communities to the inland farmland and pinelands.
Coastal communities we serve include Cape May itself (the nation’s oldest seashore resort), West Cape May, Cape May Point, the Wildwoods (Wildwood, Wildwood Crest, North Wildwood), Stone Harbor, Avalon, Sea Isle City, Strathmere, and Ocean City. Each has its own architectural character — from Cape May’s Victorian district with painted ladies and ornate gingerbread to the Wildwoods’ famous mid-century doo-wop motels to the substantial modern beach houses of Avalon and Stone Harbor. We build sunrooms, screen rooms, and patio enclosures that integrate with whatever architectural language your home speaks.
Inland Cape May County is its own world: Middle Township, Upper Township, Lower Township, Dennis Township, the Borough of Woodbine, and communities like Cape May Court House, Rio Grande, Marmora, and Seaville. The inland areas have a different character — year-round homes rather than second homes, wooded lots, traditional and ranch-style residential architecture, less hurricane exposure but the same Mid-Atlantic seasonal range. We install across all of it.
Whether you’re enclosing a porch on a year-round home in Middle Township, building a screen room behind a beach house in Avalon, or adding a fully insulated four season sunroom to a primary residence in Cape May, the product choice depends on how you’ll use the space and what season you want to use it across. We build all four primary outdoor living products across Cape May County.
Fully insulated rooms for year-round use — including the winter months when many Cape May second-home owners aren’t there but want the room functional when they visit. Permanent livable square footage.
Light-filled rooms designed for spring through fall enjoyment — a natural fit for Cape May’s main use season. More accessible investment than four season construction.
Built around your existing patio, deck, or porch. Available in glass, screen, or combination styles. Popular on the second-home properties where homeowners want to extend porch use without the cost of a full sunroom addition.
Insect protection plus overhead weather coverage — important along the Cape May coast where mosquitoes and greenhead flies make unscreened outdoor living miserable in late summer.
Building outdoor living additions in Cape May County means working with realities you don’t face in inland counties. Coastal climate, evolving flood regulations, hurricane wind exposure, and a market dominated by both year-round residents and seasonal property owners shape every project we design here. Here’s what to know.
The same Atlantic breezes that make Cape May beautiful also mean salt air exposure that punishes lesser building materials. Aluminum framing resists corrosion the way wood and ferrous metal can’t — a real consideration for any structure within a few miles of the ocean. Our products are manufactured in Pennsylvania with finishes engineered for coastal exposure, and the structural aluminum doesn’t rust or rot like the alternatives. For homes on the barrier islands and the immediate mainland coast, this isn’t a nice-to-have spec; it’s the difference between a sunroom that looks new for decades and one that needs replacement in ten years.
Coastal Cape May properties face hurricane and nor’easter wind loads that inland construction doesn’t — and New Jersey’s Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) creates heightened permitting standards for coastal communities. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps classify portions of the county into Zone AE and Zone VE areas with specific elevation requirements, and recent state regulations have updated those elevation requirements further. Our team is familiar with both the federal flood map zones and the New Jersey state requirements as they currently stand, and we engineer projects accordingly.
The same coastal regulatory environment applies across our South Jersey shore service area. If you’re researching coastal construction further north, see our Atlantic County or Ocean County service pages — the same regulatory framework affects projects there as well. During your design consultation, we’ll walk through how your specific property’s flood zone affects what we can build and at what elevation.
Cape May County has more architectural variety packed into a small geography than most of New Jersey. The Victorian district of Cape May City demands traditional gable rooflines, decorative trim, and proportions that match the period aesthetic. The Wildwoods’ doo-wop heritage means working alongside mid-century coastal architecture. Avalon and Stone Harbor feature substantial modern beach houses where clean studio-style rooflines integrate cleanly. Inland Middle and Upper Townships are mostly traditional and ranch-style homes more like the rest of South Jersey. Our designers work with whatever architectural language your home already speaks — not against it.
Cape May County has two distinct markets. Year-round residents typically prioritize different things than seasonal homeowners. A year-round homeowner in Cape May Court House may want a four season sunroom they use every day of the year. A second-home owner in Stone Harbor may want a three season room or patio enclosure they use during the spring-summer-fall season their property gets used. Both are valid, and both are common in our project mix. We talk through how you’ll actually use the space before recommending a product type.
Whether your project is in Philadelphia or Dover or Cape May, the same factory-trained team installs it — our own certified installers, never subcontractors. Consistent quality across fifteen counties.
Half a century of structural coverage — with materials and finishes designed for the coastal exposure your project will face. The warranty isn’t a generic spec sheet; it’s matched to the conditions Cape May County actually experiences.
Our structural components are manufactured in Pennsylvania, with corrosion-resistant aluminum framing and finishes engineered specifically for salt air, wind loads, and the freeze-thaw conditions of the Mid-Atlantic coast. Built for where you actually live.
Cape May County is two hours from our West Conshohocken headquarters. A dedicated project manager coordinates every detail — permits, scheduling, deliveries, installation, inspection — so you don’t have to coordinate across the distance yourself.

Yes. We install across all the Cape May County barrier island communities. Coastal projects require attention to wind loads, flood elevation requirements, and salt air exposure — all considerations our team is experienced with. We’ll walk through your specific property’s CAFRA zone and FEMA flood zone classification during the design consultation.
New Jersey has updated coastal flood elevation requirements through the state Department of Environmental Protection regulations, and Cape May County’s specific implementation continues to evolve. The practical impact on your sunroom project depends on your property’s flood zone classification (AE vs VE), your specific municipality’s adopted floodplain rules, and whether your sunroom would be considered a substantial improvement to the existing structure. We design every project to current code requirements as of installation, and your project manager handles the permit interpretation with your specific municipality’s building department.
Yes — and this is the kind of project our designers genuinely enjoy. Cape May’s Victorian district demands traditional gable rooflines, decorative trim consistent with the period, and proportions matched to the host home. We work with the architectural language your home already speaks. During the design consultation we’ll discuss roof style (gable is almost always the right choice for Victorian homes), trim details, and how the sunroom integrates with your home’s existing porches, bay windows, or turrets.
Cape May City has a designated Historic District with specific design review requirements for exterior modifications. Other Cape May County municipalities have varying levels of historic preservation oversight. If your home falls within a historic district, additional design review may be required as part of the permit process. Our project managers coordinate with local historic preservation officers as part of the permit submission — we have experience working through these reviews and don’t treat them as obstacles, just as part of doing the work properly.
Yes. Many of our Cape May County projects are for homeowners whose primary residence is elsewhere — Philadelphia, North Jersey, New York, even further. We coordinate the consultation visit during your time at the property, then handle the rest (design revisions, permit processing, scheduling, installation) remotely with regular communication. Your dedicated project manager is your single point of contact whether you’re at the property or hours away.
