We build custom Hall Tree's from real wood to your specifications. Avoid cheaply made, MDF or engineered wood online "deals" that contain formaldehyde and other nasty materials.
This project is one of the biggest requests we get. The kitchen is the busiest room in your home and nothing makes the kitchen more organized than a custom pantry. Customize your pantry with a “behind the door” spic rack and functional shelving to optimize your cooking experience.
Born and raised in Northern New Jersey, my passion for remodeling developed at the age of 16. Working on a window installation crew for the family business, I gained priceless knowledge of the industry. I studied Engineering at the University of Delaware for two years, then returned home to work for the family business full-time. In just a few short years I was managing the service/installation department for Morris Window and Siding, Inc.
In 2008 I put the remodeling industry on hold and pursued my second passion which was baseball. My best friend and I founded RBI’s, one of Morris County’s premier baseball/softball schools specializing in private lessons and team training. After 5 fulfilling years of coaching, I was heading back to my creative side.
In 2017, my wife Stephanie and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Ariella in to the world, In 2021 our family became complete with our son Bohdi. Not long after that, I started working for a life-long friend who specialized in custom wood design. Owner Louie Bravo at Against the Grain Custom Wood Design was able to parlay his design knowledge with my remodeling background. With our two skills, we were able to take the business to the next level.
In March of 2020 we moved to the relaxing Coastal Carolina area. With the area’s demand for high level craftsmanship, we formed Coastal Improvements NC, LLC. providing quality work in a timely manner.
As master carpenters, Coastal Improvements NC works with our homeowners to understand in full agreement the custom design you wish to achieve. Whether it’s an idea in your mind or a picture from Pinterest or a magazine photo – we promise you we can build it.
Just wanted to thank you Jerry and Jeff for an awesome job on our bonus room. It was also a delight working with folks who take pride in what they do. Your professionalism, knowledge and work ethics are beyond reproach. Thanks for making this the most positive experience I’ve had in NC. Your subs were also great to work with. Looking forward to the next project.
We used Jerry Damora owner of Coastal Improvements NC for our custom woodworking project, he was referred to us from my neighbor, Diane. The project was done perfectly, however it was the clean-up that was hard to believe, Jerry left our home cleaner then the way he found it. We’ve had projects done in our other homes over the years, but never have we seen anyone so meticulous. They custom built and installed a full built-in fireplace surround with base cabinets and drawers, when they left our home you’d never know they were here. Thank You Jerry, Diane was not kidding our home is spotless.
“Jerry at coastal improvements did some work on our family room and I couldn’t be happier. He is on time, reliable, and does great work! Highly recommend him!”
“I highly recommend contracting Jerry Damora for home improvement projects in the Oak Island area. The quality of his work is excellent with accurate attention to detail. He is honest, complete, timely, and quiet pleasant during project collaboration. Thus far, Jerry has rebuilt my shed entrance and doors, modified my kitchen for improvements, and will be returning for future projects. Jerry is my first call for all construction work. He is so reliable, I’m excited about starting the next project.”
“Jerry has done 3 projects for us, so far. He’s punctual, fair priced and does beautiful work. Jerry took the time to understand our needs and created exactly what we wanted. We would definitely call Jerry again for future projects.”
“I just want to recommend Jerry Damora. He made a bed for us and I just love it. He does all kinds of work, a true carpenter. I wanted my bed made of cedar and he absolutely got my vision. It smells so good and is beautifully dovetailed. Reliable and high quality.”
“We just wanted to give a huge shout out to Jerry Damora and his crew at Coastal Improvements. They recently did a varied and great amount of work on our home and we couldn’t be more pleased. Adrian and his crew built an addition onto our building that looks good and is exactly what we wanted. Jeff and Jerry tackled a slew of small jobs inside, from framing mirrors to making custom cabinets, and did an excellent job. Jerry also was very prompt, both in his work and keeping in touch with us. If we called, he called or texted us back that day and fixed the problem. We can’t say enough good about the company and we highly recommend them. Not to mention that Jerry is a pretty good fisherman too. His fresh red drum and trout were a delicious treat for US.”
