I worked with John DeBaun and I can honestly say he has amazing work ethic. He goes out of his way for every client when it comes to their needs and wants. He has a lot of good advice to offer when it comes to design and logistics of how everything will fit and work for their family and their lifestyle. I would recommend him when it comes to kitchens baths and even new construction. He’s the best!

Having home construction at the shore is complicated. There are convoluted local building, zoning and permitting challenges and lots of environmental and notification requirements along with certification, zoning and permitting timelines.

When I was choosing a construction firm for reconstruction of our home on the bay in Stone Harbor, John stood out in all the categories of planning, knowledge of all the codes and in completion of his other jobs. He came highly recommended from several very knowledgeable people on the island. He knew the codes and timelines like the back of his hand. He also demonstrated that he had experience and control with subcontractors, some he has worked decades with and some who were new and highly skilled. I found that he could get subs on short timelines and get them to work on his projects when he needed them.

He's done demolition in 48 hours and smoothed over all the issues with zoning and permitting. He has long respected relationships with the building departments in Stone Harbor and Avalon and that makes a distinctive difference in getting things done quickly.

He was responsive at all times during the construction and always had wise strategies for simplifying the problems we ran into on a large reconstruction.

He finished our reconstruction on time and I have hired him again and then a third time.

Experience Counts!

In 2020 I bought a three bedroom condominium in Stone Harbor. At the time the market was so competitive that I bought the condo without really inspecting it. After the purchase and upon inspection, I realized that not only did the place need an upgrade, it needed a total overhaul top to bottom! I initially reached out to my real estate agent who I knew and trusted, and he gave me John’s name and number.
I’ll never forget, I called John on a Saturday morning and in 20 minutes he arrived at my door! He told me exactly what I needed to do, gave me suggestions, and I could clearly see that the man had years and years of experience building and upgrading properties.

Through the course of renovations, John was friendly, professional, and went to extremes to keep me updated on the progress of the renovation. This was extremely helpful since we live in Pennsylvania over 100 miles away.

I have known John for at least 15 years during numerous projects. He is wonderful to work with-always willing to talk through issues and come up with multiple solutions. His attention to detail is great and the end product is always beautiful. I would highly recommend him for any building or renovation project.
