Project Overview
Garage Addition & Exterior Renovation – Drake Way, Toms River, NJ
This comprehensive renovation on Drake Way in Toms River, NJ, included a complete transformation of the home’s exterior with a focus on curb appeal, functionality, and long-term durability. The homeowner requested a seamless garage addition, new siding, and an upgraded roofing system, all tailored to withstand New Jersey’s coastal climate and blend with the neighborhood’s elevated aesthetic.
Scope of Work
- Garage Addition: We constructed a fully integrated garage expansion featuring dual garage doors, a side entry door, and custom paver work for the driveway. The structure blends perfectly with the existing home’s lines and roofing.
- Exterior Siding Installation: The entire home was re-sided in a coastal gray vinyl shake with crisp white trim, enhancing weather resistance while achieving a clean, modern look.
- Roof Replacement: A new asphalt shingle roofing system was installed with upgraded underlayment and drip edges to maximize protection against wind and moisture.
- Front Entry Rebuild: A new stone staircase and porch with white railings and decorative lighting were added to give the entrance a grand, elevated appearance. Stone masonry around the entry adds both durability and beauty.
- Hardscaping & Landscaping: A custom paver driveway and walkway system were designed with contrasting inlays to guide traffic flow and add visual interest. Landscaping was refreshed with privacy plantings and flower beds.

Client Feedback
Our clients love our quality and dedication!
I was really impressed with JAY Construction Company. The entire crew showed up on time to begin work. The owner of the company came in the morning making sure that everyone knew what their responsibilities were. In addition, he was back at closing time to check the work. He also had a construction manager on site all of the time. I now have a new roof and three skylights that look beautiful! You would not have known that a new roof was on with all of the cleanup work that was performed at my house. Knowledgeable, professional, great communication on all aspects of the job - this is the company that you want to do a job at your house! Awesome people!
We are very pleased with the new roof that J.A.Y. Construction installed on our home. John was incredibly professional and thorough in his work. He took care of a small flat roof that had been causing us trouble for a long time, and he made sure that it was done properly and with quality materials. He also inspected the old roof and pointed out all the issues that needed to be addressed, such as poor ventilation and chimney damage. He even anticipated our future needs and installed an exhaust cap for a bathroom that currently has a window but may need a fan later. He was very attentive to all the details and listened to our concerns. He was not only an expert in his field, but also a friendly and down-to-earth person. The roof looks great, and we no longer have any problems with leaks. We trust John's workmanship and we know that he will stand behind his work if anything goes wrong. We chose J.A.Y. Construction even though they did not propose the lowest price, but we think it was worth it. We got more than what we paid for. We would highly recommend him to our friends and family.
"We recently did a roof replacement and removal of an existing skylight. From the estimate to its completion, John answered all our questions and concerns. His crew was extremely professional and the job was completed as promised. We highly recommend John and the JAY Construction team."
"This comes straight from the heart. The product that John puts out is everything that you would expect from a master craftsman. His efforts to complete the owner’s vision are without compromise and his availability is literally 24/7."
John, who owns J.A.Y. Construction in Toms River, did a renovation on my Toms River home that was magnificent. His talented crews built a whole new roof and siding for my wife and performed in a quick professional manner. Everyone worked safely and cleaned up every day before leaving.
"We are so grateful for John JAY Contracting for building us the house of our dreams. This house has been in my husband’s family for over 60+ years. When we decided to live here full time, we needed a complete renovation, additions, HVAC systems. After meeting him one time, we knew that John was going to be the one to get it all done. We ran into issues with permits/foundation, but John JAY was there to answer every email, text, phone call, even going down to the Administration building himself for answers. We cannot thank John JAY enough for giving us this house to continue and start making memories that will last a lifetime."
"John and his team did a great job with our roofing, siding and window project. They worked hard and kept us abreast of everything that was happening through strong communication. The final look was better than we expected."
"J.A.Y. Construction transformed our home beautifully!"
"The team was professional and exceeded our expectations!"
"Exceptional service from start to finish!"
