Hunterdon County is the Delaware River towns of Lambertville, Frenchtown, Stockton and Milford, stone farmhouses from the 1700s and 1800s on Tewksbury and Delaware Township back roads, and 1980s–2000s Colonials in Raritan Township, Readington and Clinton Township. Flemington, the county seat, has the historic courthouse at the center of town. Most houses out here run on a well and a septic system. You get one licensed crew, a price in writing before we start, and a real person on the phone 24/7.

The old stone and frame houses have plaster, hand-hewn framing, cast iron, and additions from five different decades — every remodel is part surgery. The newer Colonials were built fast in the 90s boom: builder-grade windows, roofs with thin flashing, and decks with undersized ledgers. Everywhere: wells and pressure tanks, septic fields, hard water and long driveways that make winter emergencies harder.
A licensed master plumber on our team checks the water supply and drainage before we quote, and we inspect like builders. The number you sign covers what's really there — not what a salesman guessed.
Emergencies — burst or frozen pipes, roof leaks, storm and tree damage, no heat, a well pump that quits — get a live person 24/7 and same-day dispatch of the nearest crew, with an honest arrival window. Scheduled projects run statewide: we plan the trip, keep the crew on site until it's done, and build the price from the scope, not the mileage.
Permits in New Jersey are pulled at the town level, and Hunterdon County has 26 municipalities. We pull yours — Raritan Township, Readington, Clinton Township, Lambertville, Flemington, wherever the house is — and meet the inspectors. Septic changes go through the county health department; Lambertville, Frenchtown and Clinton have historic districts that review exterior changes; larger additions can trigger a soil-conservation review, and some northern towns fall under Highlands rules. We name every step in the estimate.

“The contractor found out we're on a well and septic after he'd already priced the bathroom. Everything changed.”
“Nobody wanted the stone farmhouse job. The one who took it was "learning as he went.”
“The crew drove out two days a week. A three-week job took three months.”
