Chap Construction

What makes Chap Construction the best construction company in New Jersey?

For more than 50 years, Chap Construction has helped homeowners and property owners across Ocean County and the Jersey Shore build, renovate, and protect their homes with confidence. Founded in 1972, this family-owned New Jersey construction company has grown into a full-service operation offering custom building, remodeling, and in-house mechanical services under one roof. That structure allows for tighter project control, consistent craftsmanship, and clear communication from start to finish.

Chap Construction is known throughout towns like Toms River, Brick Township, Point Pleasant, Manasquan, Bayville, and Lavallette for delivering reliable results on complex residential projects. From ground-up custom homes to large-scale renovations and coastal upgrades, the company brings decades of hands-on experience to every job.

A New Jersey construction company built on experience and accountability

Chap Construction was built on a simple idea: do the work right, stand behind it, and treat every project as if it were your own home. With deep roots in Ocean County, the Chap team understands the demands of building along the Jersey Shore, including local zoning, flood regulations, coastal exposure, and long-term durability.

Unlike many contractors that rely heavily on subcontractors, Chap Construction performs the majority of work through in-house licensed professionals. This approach improves scheduling, reduces delays, and keeps quality consistent across every phase of construction. Clients benefit from working with a single, established company instead of juggling multiple vendors.

Chap Construction offers a complete range of residential construction services tailored to New Jersey homes.
