Englewood is a city with every kind of house in it: big pre-war homes on the East Hill, colonials and capes in the middle, two-families and apartments closer to Palisade Avenue and the downtown, with Englewood Hospital and bergenPAC as landmarks. Route 4 runs through it. We repair and remodel all of it, from a stately 1920s bathroom to a rental-unit kitchen.

Older Englewood houses hide cast iron, galvanized lines, plaster and lath, and roofs with three layers. We inspect before we quote, replace what's failing while the walls are open, and match the period look on the finish side — hex tile, wainscoting, real wood trim over brand-new plumbing.
Landlords and multi-family owners get straight per-unit pricing, fast turnovers and one crew for the whole building. Everyone gets the same guarantee: itemized price, written timeline, no deposit, and a photo update every workday.
We're based in Paramus. That's why we can promise Englewood what the national brands can't: a live person on the phone around the clock, same-day dispatch on emergencies — often within the hour anywhere in Bergen County — and a free in-home visit today or tomorrow for anything planned. Nobody tells you "we'll call you back in 48 hours."
Every town has its own forms and its own inspectors. We handle Englewood's. Permit applications, plan sketches, inspection appointments — all on us, all inside your fixed price. If a job doesn't need a permit, we'll tell you that too, instead of charging you for one.
“The "lifetime warranty" was on the shingles, not on the guy who nailed them wrong.”
“We paid a deposit in March. The work started in June.”
“The big-brand quote had a "manager's discount" that expired at midnight.”
That's the point. We replace the cast iron, wiring and roofing that's failing, then match the era on the finish — hex tile, wainscoting, real wood trim, period-right fixtures — over brand-new plumbing and waterproofing.
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. Per-unit pricing, fast turnovers, separate kitchens and baths, and the small repairs tenants call about. One crew for the whole building and a written price before we start.
Yes. If the job needs one — moved plumbing or wiring, structural work, an addition, a deck — we file it with the Englewood building department, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector. It's inside your fixed price, not an extra.
