Haddon Heights is one of Camden County's most distinctive boroughs. Seven thousand people, 78 percent homeowners, a median household income around $122,000, and a housing stock that reads like a catalog of American architectural history. Queen Anne, Tudor Revival, American Foursquare, Craftsman Bungalow. The homes along Atlantic Avenue and Station Avenue have hardwood floors, stained glass windows, crown molding in foyers, and original wooden staircases that most new construction cannot touch. New Jersey Monthly named Haddon Heights the second best place to live in Southern New Jersey, and residents talk about it like it is a secret they do not want getting out. Legacy Contracting has done significant work in Haddon Heights and we understand what this borough demands. The craftsmanship has to match the character of the homes.
Haddon Heights lots tend to be modest in size compared to the sprawling new construction suburbs further south, but the rear yards here are private, well-landscaped, and perfect for a deck addition that extends your living space into the outdoors. We have built decks on Victorian homes, Craftsman bungalows, and the Cape Cods that line the side streets between the borough's parks at Haddon Lake, Devon Avenue, and the Barr Complex near downtown.
Every build in a historic borough like this requires attention to how the deck ties into the existing structure and how it reads from the alley or the neighbor's yard. We take that context seriously.
Composite decking is a strong match for Haddon Heights because the material holds up beautifully through the seasons and requires almost no upkeep. That matters in a borough where more than half of adults have college degrees and nearly 25 percent work from home. Residents here are busy and they are not looking to spend their weekends refinishing a deck. Trex and TimberTech boards come in colors that complement the earth tones and classic color palettes common on Haddon Heights homes.
For Haddon Heights homeowners who want a deck that fits the historic character of their property, natural cedar is a compelling choice. Cedar ages gracefully, takes stain beautifully, and looks at home on a 1920s Craftsman in a way that synthetic materials sometimes do not. We build cedar decks properly, with the right fasteners and surface preparation to give the wood a long service life alongside the original woodwork of a historic home.
The interiors of Haddon Heights homes are often original and beautiful but their kitchens and bathrooms can be fifty or even a hundred years old. We handle full interior renovations in Haddon Heights with care. That means protecting original woodwork, matching existing trim profiles where possible, and not treating a historic home like a spec build. We have done kitchen gut jobs and full bathroom renovations throughout the borough and we know what this work requires.
Haddon Heights is eight miles from Philadelphia and it has the commuter culture that comes with it.
