Dumont is a borough of capes and colonials from the 40s through the 60s, on modest lots, a few minutes from Bergenfield, Cresskill, Haworth and New Milford. These are solid houses that were built for smaller families and fewer bathrooms. We're the crew Dumont calls to add the second bath, redo the kitchen, finish the basement — and to fix the leak at midnight.

The classic Dumont project is making a 1950s cape work for a 2026 family: a dormer to open up the second floor, a full bath upstairs, a kitchen that connects to the back of the house. We do the framing, the plumbing, the electrical and the finishes ourselves, with permits pulled and inspections met.
Repairs get the same crew. Roofs, siding, windows, water heaters, boilers, clogged mains, a panel that's tripping — one call, a written price, and no deposit. You pay as the work gets done.
Paramus to Dumont is minutes, not an hour. Emergencies get a live person and same-day dispatch, usually within the hour. Remodels and repairs get a free in-home visit today or tomorrow, price in writing on the spot.
Anything in Dumont that needs a permit gets one — pulled by us, inspected with us on site, and included in your fixed price. You never chase paperwork at town hall.
Most contractors don't do the work. They hire people you never met, and when something goes wrong they all point at each other. We work the other way: general contracting, plumbing, roofing, electrical and heating and AC are all on our own crew.
One name on the contract. One foreman on site. One phone number that rings the owner. That's how we can promise the price and the day it's done.
“They found "a problem in the wall" on day two and the price doubled.”
“Nobody called before they showed up. Nobody called when they didn't.”
“We paid a deposit in March. The work started in June.”
Bring us any written quote and we'll match the scope line by line. We run one lean crew with no franchise fees or commissioned salesmen, so we're typically 15–30% under the national brands for the same or better spec.
A real person answers 24/7. For a burst pipe, roof leak, sewage backup or no heat, we dispatch right away, and in Bergen County that's often within the hour. We tell you what to shut off while the crew is on the way.
We inspect like builders before we quote, so most "surprises" are already line items. If something truly hidden turns up, we stop, show you, price it, and nothing changes without your signature on a written change order.
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.
