Your Trusted Local Builder at the Shore

About Homes By Hand

At Homes By Hand, we pride ourselves on being a leader in luxury custom home construction in Cape May County. With over three generations of experience in the industry, our journey began with my grandfather and father, both skilled builders who instilled in me a deep understanding of craftsmanship, integrity, and attention to detail. Their legacy inspires every project we undertake, ensuring that each home we build reflects the same commitment to quality that has defined our family for decades.


We're more than your standard kitchen and bathroom remodeling contractors in Avalon, NJ. As a fully licensed and insured general contractor, we believe that a home is more than just a structure - it's a sanctuary where families create lasting memories. We are dedicated to working closely with clients to bring their visions to life, offering personalized services that cater to unique needs and preferences. From initial consultation to final touches, we are passionate about every step of the process, combining traditional methods with modern innovation to create stunning, functional living spaces.

Meet Your Contractor

Brandon Hand was born and raised in Stone Harbor, NJ, surrounded by the construction industry at the Jersey Shore for his entire youth and adult life. Growing up and working within the family business since age 14 allowed him to learn the passions and values of the building business.


Brandon attended Rutgers School of Business and graduated with a degree in Finance, earning the Magna Cum Laude distinction. After graduation, he worked as a business analyst before deciding that his passion for building was the career path to follow. His business education and construction background propelled him into a construction business of his own, bringing Homes By Hand to fruition in 2021. Since then, Homes By Hand has served as some of the finest new construction, addition, exterior, kitchen, and bathroom remodeling contractors in Stone Harbor, NJ.


Brandon and his wife, Chesse, settled down in Cape May, where they renovated a home of their own. Brandon enjoys establishing new client relationships and providing them with finished products that they will value for years to come. Some of Brandon’s hobbies include fishing, boating, woodworking, and snowboarding. When he is not working, you can find him spending time with his wife, their son, Bowen, and golden retriever, Charlie.
