Elmwood Park is where Route 4, Route 46 and the Garden State Parkway meet, with the Passaic River on its west edge and Fair Lawn, Saddle Brook and Garfield around it. The houses are mostly capes, colonials and split-levels from the 40s through the 60s. We're a few minutes away in Paramus, and we do everything those houses need — inside, outside and underground.

Post-war houses on this side of the county have small kitchens, one full bath and basements that get wet near the river. We open the kitchen to the dining room, add the second bath, finish the basement with a proper sump and backup pump, and replace the old pipe while we're in there.
Outside: roofs, siding, gutters, windows, front steps and decks. We inspect the whole house before we quote so nothing shows up on the bill later. If a storm gets to your roof first, call — a person answers 24/7.
Elmwood Park 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.
Anything in Elmwood Park 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.
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.

Almost always. We seal off the work area, protect the floors, keep a clear path through the house and sweep every night. If a day will be loud or the water will be off, you'll know the day before.
Yes — same number. Send a picture of the leak, the crack or the stain and we'll tell you what it likely is and whether it can wait until morning. The written price comes after we see it in person.
