Closter houses: add on, open up, or fix what's there
Half the calls we get from Closter are about space: a second-floor addition over the garage, a master bath where two small rooms were, a kitchen opened up to the family room. We handle the structure, the plumbing, the electrical and the finishes with one licensed crew and one contract.
The other half are repairs on 60-year-old houses: a roof that's done, a boiler that's older than the owner, a bathroom that leaks into the kitchen ceiling. We come out fast, show you the problem, and price the fix on the spot.
Response times
Closter is inside our fastest zone. A real person answers 24/7, emergencies are dispatched right away — often within the hour in Bergen County — and planned work gets a same-day or next-day consultation with the price in writing.
Permits in Closter
We file Closter's permits, build to code and book the rough and final inspections ourselves. It's a line item in your written price, never an add-on.
How your price is built
We don't guess from the driveway. We measure the room, open what needs opening, check the stack, the panel, the roof deck and the grading — then write an itemized price on the spot. Materials, labor, permits, disposal, cleanup: each on its own line.
That's the Price-Lock Guarantee. The number can't change without your signature on a written change order. And there's no deposit — you pay as work gets done.
What people hate about other companies — fixed here
“The kitchen guy blamed the plumber. The plumber blamed the electrician. I paid all three.”
“The estimate was a number on a napkin. The invoice was a novel.”
Closter questions, answered
Can you run a large, multi-trade renovation in Closter?
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.
What does a kitchen or bathroom remodel cost in Closter?
It depends on the size, the layout changes and what you pick. We come to your home, measure, inspect behind the walls and hand you an itemized price on the spot — typically 15–30% under national-brand quotes for the same or better spec.
How does the free consultation work?
We come to your Closter home, measure, inspect and write an itemized price on the spot, with an expected timeline. Same-day and next-day appointments — call before noon and we're often there today. No obligation, no deposit.
What does the 5-Year Watertight Guarantee cover?
Anything we install that carries water — showers, tubs, pipes, roofs, water heaters, sump pumps. If it leaks, cracks or fails within five years, we fix it and the damage it caused.
Is there a First Call crew near me in Closter?
Yes. We're based in Paramus in Bergen County and our own crews cover Closter 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.
