What does a handyman handle in Manasquan?

Local record

Three things on file about houses here

01

Elevation certificates go back to 1992 here

Manasquan’s Construction and Code Department holds elevation certificates for every building constructed or substantially improved since 1992. If your property has one it is worth pulling before any work is scoped — it documents how high the structure sits relative to the flood elevation, which governs what can be done to it and what has to move rather than be replaced in place.

02

Sandy is still the reference point

Superstorm Sandy produced devastating flooding in Manasquan in 2012, and the borough runs a standing "know your flood hazard" programme off the back of it. Between the ocean and the Manasquan River the borough is exposed on two sides, and the flood zone a property sits in changes both the construction standard and what insurance will accept.

03

Summer cottages that became year-round houses

A good deal of the older stock started as seasonal shore cottages and was converted to year-round use later. That history shows up in the work: heating and insulation retrofitted into buildings that never expected a winter, plumbing runs that were laid for three months a year, and additions of varying quality stacked on over decades.

  • I’m so glad to have The Trusty Monmouth County Handyman out and repair my kitchen cabinets. The previous homeowner did not use the correct screws and even missed the studs on some of them. All secure and up to code now. He finished a little early and asked what else he could look at and cleaned out the tub drain too.

  • I called on The Trusty Monmouth County Handyman Services once again. This time I needed drywall repair. The texture that was applied to the ceilings during construction of this house — over time the texture started to release and some of it fell. I tried to repair this myself but had no luck. I’m not permitted to use ladders anymore since I have the tendency to fall off. That’s why I called the Handyman. He fixed all my texture that was falling. He also inspected the rest of my ceiling to check for any cracking so he could prevent another collapse. I have to tell you; this outfit is top notch.

  • After The Trusty Monmouth County Handyman completed the work that I had asked for, I actually needed them to come back out to remedy a problem that I noticed. To my surprise, no questions asked, they were here the next day to fix this final issue. I seriously cannot recommend Ron and his team enough. They are wonderful people, doing awesome work!

  • It was a good experience with The Trusty Monmouth County Handyman. I availed their electric and plumbing services. Charges were reasonable and they also offered a discount on the final invoice. The service I received was very good. Everything was explained succinctly and with a friendly manner.
