About Toms River, NJ

Toms River is one of the largest and most diverse townships in Ocean County, featuring everything from older waterfront homes and mid-century neighborhoods to newer developments and active adult communities. Home ages vary widely, with many properties dating back to the 1950s through early 2000s.

📍 Little Known Fact:
Toms River was originally known as Dover Township and has long been shaped by its proximity to the river, Barnegat Bay, and coastal waterways — factors that continue to influence local soil conditions, drainage, and moisture exposure.

Local Homes & Construction

Homes in Toms River are built on a wide range of soil types and elevations, from waterfront and lagoon communities to inland residential neighborhoods. As a result, drainage, grading, and foundation performance vary significantly from one area to another.

Many homes have undergone renovations over the years, including additions, roof replacements, and system upgrades. During inspections, we evaluate how these changes integrate with the original construction and whether they meet current safety and performance expectations.
