Ho-Ho-Kus is small and old in the best way: the Hermitage, the Ho-Ho-Kus Inn, a brook running through the middle, and streets of older colonials and center-hall homes between Ridgewood, Saddle River and Waldwick. Houses like that deserve a contractor who respects them. We do the modern guts — pipes, wiring, roofs, kitchens, baths — and keep the character.

Pre-war and mid-century houses here have cast-iron stacks, old supply lines, tiny bathrooms and roofs at the end of their life. We inspect all of it before we write a price. Old pipe becomes a line item you approve up front, never a mid-job surprise.
On the finish side we match the era: hex tile, wainscoting, real wood trim, period-right vanities — over brand-new plumbing and waterproofing. Additions and kitchen expansions get the same care, with permits pulled by us.
Paramus to Ho-Ho-Kus 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.
We file Ho-Ho-Kus'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.
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 parked on the lawn, left nails in the driveway, and the neighbors still bring it up.”
“Three different crews came through. Not one of them knew what the last one did.”
“I called at 11 PM with water coming through the ceiling and got a voicemail.”
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.
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.
Yes. A leaking valve, a rotted step, a door that won't latch, a water heater that quit. No job is too small, and the punch list you've been putting off is welcome.
Three things, printed in your contract: your price is in writing and can't change without your approval; you know the scope and timeline before work begins, with a photo update every workday; and if there's a workmanship issue covered by your guarantee, we come back and make it right.
Yes. We're based in Paramus in Bergen County and our own crews cover Ho-Ho-Kus 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.
