Alpine sits on top of the Palisades along Route 9W, with the Palisades Interstate Park and the Hudson on one side and the New York line on the other. The lots are large, the driveways are long, and the houses are big — which means the roofs, the plumbing runs and the mechanical systems are big too. We build and repair at that scale, and we put every dollar of it in writing first.

An estate-size home in Alpine can hide a lot: long supply lines, several water heaters, multiple zones of heat and air, low-slope roof sections that pool water, and additions built by three different contractors over 40 years. We inspect all of it like builders before we quote — the stack, the panel, the roof deck, the grading around the foundation.
Then you get an itemized price and a timeline in writing. Kitchens, master baths, whole-floor renovations, a new roof, a rebuilt deck over the slope — one licensed crew, the same foreman every day, and a photo update text every workday so you can see the progress from wherever you are.
Alpine sits inside our fastest zone. Emergency calls in Bergen County usually get a crew within the hour, and you talk to a person, not a machine, at 2 AM or 2 PM. Consultations for remodels and repairs are same-day or next-day. You get a real arrival window, and we call when we're on the way.
If the work needs a permit — moved plumbing or wiring, structural changes, an addition, a new deck — we pull it from the Alpine building department, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector ourselves. It's part of your fixed price, not an extra. You never stand in line at town hall.
“They said two weeks. It took two months, and nobody would tell us why.”
“Dust in every room of the house. Even the baby's room.”
“The kitchen guy blamed the plumber. The plumber blamed the electrician. I paid all three.”
Yes. Whole-floor and whole-house renovations, additions and outdoor living are run by one project lead with plumbers, electricians and carpenters on our own crew — one contract, one schedule, daily photo updates.
No. You pay as work gets done. That keeps us honest: we don't get paid for a week we didn't show up.
It's most of what we do. Older houses have cast iron, galvanized pipe, tired wiring and layered roofs. We check all of it before we quote, so the replacements are line items you approve up front — never a mid-job surprise.
A bathroom is usually 2–3 weeks, a kitchen 4–6, a finished basement or addition longer. You get the expected timeline in writing before work begins, one crew that stays on your job, and a photo update every workday.
Yes. We're based in Paramus in Bergen County and our own crews cover Alpine every week — plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, roofers and carpenters, no subcontractors. Emergencies go to the nearest crew, day or night. Call (201) 676-3099 and a real person answers.
