Brooks Contracting Inc. is a family-owned builder providing home addition and renovation services in Monmouth County, Ocean County, and across New Jersey. For over 40 years, we have added square footage and reworked existing homes for families who want more space and a better layout without moving. We build up, build out, and renovate whole homes, and we manage the permits and township approvals from the first drawing to the final inspection.

What We Build and Renovate

We handle additions and renovations that change how much space you have and how it works, not surface-level updates. That covers new square footage, converted space, and full interior rebuilds.

Home Additions

Second-story additions, main-level extensions, master suites, sunrooms, and in-law or multigenerational space. One recent project was a historic barn we renovated to keep its original character while bringing the structure up to current code.

Attic and Basement Conversions

Unfinished attics and basements become usable rooms: a bedroom, an office, or a suite. This is often the fastest way to gain living space because the footprint already exists.

Whole-Home Renovations

Multi-room and full-interior renovations, including higher-end finishes for homeowners who want luxury home renovation services in Monmouth County. The same standards we apply to full subdivision builds carry into private whole-home renovation projects.

We Handle Every Permit, Township Approval, and Coastal Requirement for You

We file and manage every permit and township approval for the project, so you never stand at the counter or chase the town for updates. Jim Brooks runs each job directly and coordinates inspections as the work progresses.

Before home renovation services in Ocean County, we assess the foundation, the lot, and the local rules before recommending one, so the plan is buildable before design begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do permits and township approvals take in Monmouth or Ocean County?

Timelines vary by township, and most residential additions clear review within a few weeks of plan submission. Brooks Contracting handles the drawings, the applications, and the inspections.

In most additions, yes. New square footage goes up while the home stays occupied, with at least one kitchen and bathroom kept usable. Whole-home renovations are reviewed case by case.

Does a home addition add resale value?

Usually, yes. A well-planned addition returns a meaningful share of its cost, and bedrooms, bathrooms, and functional family space hold value best in Monmouth and Ocean County.

Sometimes, depending on the current foundation and framing. Brooks Contracting evaluates the existing structure first and reinforces where the load requires it, before design begins.

- New Home, Lincroft The Lassmans

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.
