Local record

Three things on file about houses here

01

3,401 buildings sit in the flood hazard area

Middletown has 3,401 buildings inside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, across 4,623 acres. The exposure is concentrated on the Bayshore: in Sandy, most streets north of Route 36 through Port Monmouth, Belford and Leonardo took storm surge off Raritan Bay. The Army Corps response — floodwall, levee, the Pews Creek flood gate and pumping station, and raising the Route 36 pavement — is a $265m programme still being built out in phases. The township also runs a repetitive-loss outreach programme for properties that have flooded more than once.

The most varied housing stock in the county

The most varied housing stock in the county, and the reason no single answer covers the township. Median construction year is 1970 and the average single-family house is around 63 years old, but 14.2% of it predates 1940. In practice that means post-war Bayshore capes and bungalows in the north, mid-century splits and ranches across the middle, and larger colonials and custom builds in Lincroft and Navesink. What a house needs here depends on which of those it is.

Which section you are in decides the job

Middletown is a collection of distinct sections rather than one town, and the difference matters for the work: Belford, Port Monmouth and Leonardo sit in the flood exposure described above, while Lincroft, Navesink, New Monmouth and River Plaza are inland and dry. Tell us the section and we already know half of what we are walking into.

Middletown — common questions

Is my part of Middletown in the flood hazard area?

There are 3,401 buildings inside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area in Middletown, across 4,623 acres, and they are concentrated on the Bayshore — Port Monmouth, Belford and Leonardo, largely north of Route 36. Lincroft, Navesink, New Monmouth and River Plaza are inland. The township publishes flood hazard mapping, and it also runs a repetitive-loss outreach programme for properties that have flooded more than once.

Why does the answer depend on which part of Middletown I am in?

Because Middletown is a collection of distinct sections rather than one town, and the housing stock changes with them. Post-war capes and bungalows on the Bayshore, mid-century splits and ranches across the middle, larger colonials and custom builds in Lincroft and Navesink. Median construction year is 1970 but 14.2% predates 1940. Tell us the section and we already know half of it.

Is the Bayshore flooding being dealt with?

In part, and slowly. The Army Corps programme for Port Monmouth, Belford and Leonardo — floodwall, levee, the Pews Creek flood gate and pumping station, and raising the Route 36 pavement — is a $265m project still being delivered in phases. It reduces surge risk; it does not change what an individual house needs doing to it.

What people say afterwards

5 out of 5 on our Google Business Profile

  • 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.
