Local record

Three things on file about houses here

01

Ocean Grove sits on leased ground

The land under Ocean Grove is still owned by the Camp Meeting Association; buyers hold a 99-year renewable lease on it rather than the freehold. It is also a designated historic district holding the largest concentration of Victorian and early-twentieth-century architecture in the country, with 114 tent cottages still standing. More than one body can have a view on exterior work, so establishing who signs off what is the first step, not an afterthought.

02

Deal Lake at the top, Shark River at the bottom

Neptune straddles two systems. Deal Lake — 158 acres, five or six feet deep, and the largest coastal lake in New Jersey — is managed by a commission of the seven towns around it precisely because no single one of them can fix it alone. The Shark River drains the southern end. When either comes up it comes up quickly, as the 2018 event showed across Neptune, Ocean Township and Asbury Park at once.

03

Cottage lots that were never sized for plant

The Ocean Grove stock is late-1800s retreat cottages on very narrow plots, packed close with little side access and original layouts largely intact. Getting a heater, a bath or a run of pipe into the building is frequently the hard part of the job rather than the installation itself. The rest of the township is ordinary post-war housing by comparison.

  • 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.
