The Matera Builders Difference: Why Shore Homeowners Choose Us
When it's time to replace windows, upgrade an entry, or renovate a home along the New Jersey coast, choosing a contractor isn't about finding someone who can swing a hammer. It's about finding a partner who knows what salt air, wind-driven rain, and coastal building codes do to a project — and stands behind the work long after the truck pulls away. Here's what sets Matera Builders apart.
1. An Andersen Elite Certified Contractor — Top 1% Nationwide
Matera Builders is an Andersen Elite Certified Contractor, a designation Andersen awards to the top 1% of contractors in the country. We are also a Therma-Tru Certified Installer. Our craftsmen are factory-trained on the products we install, and that certification protects you two ways: the installation meets the manufacturer's exact specifications, and your full product warranty stays intact. On premium systems like Andersen windows, Weiland big doors, and Therma-Tru entry doors, certified installation is the difference between a product that performs for decades and one that fails in five years.
2. Built for the Coast Since 1988
Matera Builders has served Ocean City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Sea Isle City since 1988. Coastal construction is its own discipline: salt air corrodes standard hardware, humidity swells and rots the wrong materials, and nor'easters find every gap in a lazy install. We spec stainless hardware, flash every opening to shed water outward, and choose materials that hold up on a barrier island — because we've watched what happens when contractors from inland treat the shore like anywhere else.
3. Windows and Doors Are Our Specialty, Not a Sideline
Window and door installation is the core of what we do. We treat every opening as part of the building envelope — frame, flashing, sill, insulation, and seal working as one system. That's also why our remodeling work (kitchens, baths, and decks) performs so well: the same precision that keeps water out of a window opening keeps a renovation solid for the long haul.
4. Our Own Crews, One Point of Accountability
Your project is managed start to finish by Matera Builders — our in-house carpenters and installers do the work, and one team answers for the result. That means consistent quality, clear communication, clean job sites, and no finger-pointing between trades. Clients tell us the same things in review after review: the team was professional, the site was left spotless, and the project stayed on track.
5. Transparency From First Visit to Final Walkthrough
We built this company on doing the job right the first time and telling you the truth along the way. Clear scopes, honest timelines, no high-pressure sales, and a walkthrough at the end where we show you exactly what was done and how to care for it. When we say the work is backed, we mean the product warranty and our own workmanship.
