Frequently Asked Questions

How does BCI coordinate lender draw inspections?

We provide an immediate field report with a fixed-cost remedy and submit required engineering changes directly to township subcode officials to prevent downtime.

Yes. During pre-purchase walkthroughs, we inspect for decommissioned vent pipes, cut copper lines, and foundation patches to identify tank risks before attorney review closes.

How do coastal flood rules affect flip feasibility in Monmouth and Ocean Counties?

Renovations exceeding 50% of the building’s pre-improvement value trigger mandatory elevation under FEMA and NJ DEP rules. We calculate this threshold upfront so your scope stays compliant.

I had a severe problem with another contractor and BCI Pros saved me from him. They took care of everything. If he can’t do it, he’ll tell you. He’s trustworthy, responsive and easy to work with.

- Angie’s List

Brooks Contracting is terrific to work with and extremely responsive. Everything he said he would do he has done. Jim never over charges and is a great resource. His pricing is competitive. He interacts with the township and takes all that headache off of my shoulders which is a huge plus of working with him.

- Angie’s List

He dealt with the town, the permits, the weather, etc. His subs are fantastic (Jamie can do anything). Jim answers calls, or calls you back in a timely manner…He’s a rare find in the contracting business. If I could clone him, I would.
