For over four decades, Padula Builders Incorporated( PBI) has been shaping distinctive homes along the Jersey Shore. Founded by Lou Padula in 1985, the company began with a hands-on approach, building one home and one relationship at a time. Since then, the business has grown into one of the region’ s most respected custom home builders, with more than 200 homes completed across Monmouth and Ocean counties.

Today, PBI specializes in highly custom coastal and waterfront homes, bringing the same values Lou established from the beginning: trust, transparency, strong project leadership, meticulous attention to detail, and exceptional craftsmanship. Much of PBI’ s work is centered on highly custom coastal and waterfront homes, but no two projects are quite alike. Working alongside a diverse group of talented architects, the team brings each designer’ s vision to life, from traditional coastal and shingle-style homes to transitional designs and the occasional modern departure. Modern Home Builders sits down with company President, Lou Padula and Vice President, Dominic Padula( son of Lou Padula), to learn more about the company’ s unique approach to service and recent projects.
At PBI, alignment with our clients’ goals is central to the way we work. A truly custom home is deeply personal, so we take the time to understand what matters most to each client and build the project approach around those priorities
