About Us

Growing up on the Jersey Shore, Bill Scharfenberg knew at a young age that he was interested in home construction.  He pursued other educational interests, eventually becoming an attorney, but knew that construction had to be a part of his life.

In 2000, Bill bought a large piece of property in Belmar, subdivided it, put up two modular homes and sold them.  He was hooked.  He rebuilt a riverfront home that would become his own and Beacon Homes was in business.  What started as a hobby had become the fulfilment of a dream.  Today, Beacon Homes is still a small, custom builder doing business only in Ocean and Southern Monmouth counties.  With only a handful of projects going on at one time, your home will get the detailed attention it deserves.

We don't do any marketing.  You won't see giant billboards with the Beacon name.  Ins tead, we rely on the good word of our customers, the passerby who sees our magnificent homes and our project neighbors who admire our fine, quick work and tidy jobs. As a lifelong local, Bill's genuinely excited to do his part to help rebuild the shore.  Whether a standard modular, custom modular or luxury custom-built, Bill and his crew at Beacon Homes are ready to guide you through the process, ensuring that your new home beacons you.
