Lodi is a dense borough with the Saddle River running through it, Felician University on the hill, Route 46 on one side and Route 17 on the other. The houses are post-war capes and colonials on small lots, plus a lot of two-families. We're a few minutes away in Paramus, and we do the whole list: repairs, remodels, roofs, plumbing and 24/7 emergencies.

Post-war Lodi houses need the second bathroom, the open kitchen, the dormer and the finished basement — with a proper sump pump if you're near the river. We do the framing, plumbing, electrical and finishes ourselves, with permits pulled and inspections met.
Two-family owners get per-unit pricing, fast turnovers and one crew for the whole building. Everyone gets an itemized price, no deposit, and a photo update text every workday.
We're based in Paramus. That's why we can promise Lodi 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 Lodi'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.
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.
“The estimate was a number on a napkin. The invoice was a novel.”
“The roof leaked again a year later, and the installer's number was disconnected.”
“They wanted the final check before the punch list was done. Then they vanished.”
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.
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.
Sump pumps with battery backups, backwater valves on the sewer line, raised mechanicals, regrading and drainage — installed by licensed plumbers and covered by our 5-Year Watertight Guarantee. We'll tell you straight which of those you actually need.
Yes. If the job needs one — moved plumbing or wiring, structural work, an addition, a deck — we file it with the Lodi building department, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector. It's inside your fixed price, not an extra.
Yes. We're based in Paramus in Bergen County and our own crews cover Lodi 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.
