Strathmere is one of South Jersey's best-kept shore secrets — an unincorporated community in Upper Township, Cape May County, that sits between Ocean City and Sea Isle City with far less traffic and a quiet, year-round character that people who know it protect fiercely. Properties here range from modest cottages to larger renovated homes, and owners tend to be people who value authenticity over flashiness. Legacy Contracting builds custom decks and handles complete home renovations for Strathmere property owners with the shore-specific construction knowledge this environment requires.

Strathmere's exposed barrier island position means composite decking is the only sensible choice for most property owners — the salt air and UV exposure that make this location beautiful are also what destroy untreated wood within a few seasons. We install Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK systems with proper coastal hardware throughout. We also build natural cedar for homeowners committed to maintaining it.
Strathmere cottages and renovated homes often have interiors that haven't been updated in years — kitchens and bathrooms that were fine when they were built but are ready for a proper renovation. Legacy Contracting handles full interior rebuilds with materials appropriate for shore environments, scheduled off-season whenever possible.
Composite decking — Trex, TimberTech, or AZEK — is the right answer for Strathmere's exposed position. Salt air and UV intensity in this area will degrade untreated wood quickly. Composite handles it with almost no maintenance required.

Get a Free EstimateWell done guys. Thanks for the friendly service and saving not only my deck but my house. Would absolutely recommend Legacy to anyone looking for quality work done right.
Fabulous job. Very detail oriented and efficient. The crew was professional from start to finish and the final product exceeded expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Great work and the final product was beautiful. They communicated clearly throughout — we always knew what was happening and when to expect the crew.
Great service, super friendly. They treated my home like it was their own — that's exactly what you want from a contractor. I'll definitely use them for other jobs in the future.
Great group of people. Never had a bad experience. Hired them twice — both times the crew showed up on time, worked clean, and left the property in better shape than they found it.
Experience was refreshingly informal — the team kept things casual and clear. No sales pressure, no runaround. They quoted it, built it, and it looks exactly like we discussed.
