- 3- and 4-Season Sunroom Additions: True, stick-built sunrooms that don’t look like a cheap pre-built add-on.

40 Years of Custom Building at the Jersey Shore
Gambrick Construction is a locally owned, Design-Build custom home builder & general contractor based in Point Pleasant, NJ. We specialize in Ocean and Monmouth County coastal construction and manage select projects throughout the state.
To ensure quality control, we manage the entire build in-house. From design, permits, site-work, and foundations, to framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and final finish work, we handle it all.
For four decades, we have built our reputation on in-house project management, strict code compliance, and providing detailed, line-item estimates before we break ground.
- 100% Custom Work: Every project is designed from scratch to the homeowner’s lot, program, and budget. No repeated floor plans or standardized specifications.
- Hurricane-Resistant Coastal Building: We build homes to survive the Shore. We engineer concrete spread footings and deep pilings, and frame with severe-weather materials like Simpson Strong-Tie hardware, Type 316 stainless steel fasteners, James Hardie siding, and highly durable standing-seam metal roofing.
- Local Zoning & Permitting Expertise: From our home base in Point Pleasant to municipalities across the state, we know local zoning laws and exactly what building departments expect to see on a permit application.
- Energy-Efficient Building: Whether you want a standard build or an ultra-efficient Passive House, we have the technical skills to execute the advanced building science required.
- Coastal & Inland Experience: We regularly handle the tough environmental paperwork that stops other contractors, like coastal CAFRA permits and FEMA elevation rules, and we apply that same strict structural discipline to all of our inland projects.
- Modern & Contemporary Expertise: A core specialty of ours. We have designed and built modern and contemporary style homes throughout the Jersey Shore, including flat and low-slope roof assemblies, engineered floor-to-ceiling windows, steel structural elements, and clean-lined exterior cladding systems that still meet strict coastal wind and flood requirements.
Our Seamless Design-Build Process
The traditional building process forces you to juggle a separate architect and contractor. By combining design and construction, we cut down on delays and change orders. Across four decades of projects, we have seen Design-Build timelines run up to 33% faster than traditional architect-then-builder builds.
Here is how we take your project from idea to completion:
- Initial Consultation & Site Planning: We start with an on-site walkthrough or a meeting at our design center. We review your property surveys, calculate strict coastal lot limits, and give you a straight answer on what local zoning laws will actually let you build.
- Structural Engineering & Architecture: We handle the heavy engineering first. We determine the right Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for your pilings, map out flood vents, plan site drainage, and engineer the wind-resistant framing and high-impact windows. Then, we partner with licensed architects to wrap 3D renderings and full construction documents around that structural core.
- Permitting & Coastal Approvals: We handle all the local, county, and state permitting for you, including complex NJDEP and CAFRA environmental filings.
- Detailed Budgeting: As the blueprints come together, we build a fixed-cost budget for your project. You will see exact material choices, down to the James Hardie fiber cement siding and AZEK PVC trim, so there are no financial surprises.
- In-House Construction & Quality Control: You sign one contract and get one main point of contact. Our in-house project managers supervise the site daily, making sure every trade executes the build to our strict, marine-grade standards.
- Final Walk-Through & Warranty: We do not hand over the keys until your home passes every final municipal inspection. We finish with a structured walk-through to ensure the space is flawless, backed by a clear, written warranty.
