North Arlington houses: old plumbing, tired roofs, small baths
Houses this age have cast-iron stacks, galvanized water lines, plaster walls and roofs on their third layer. We inspect behind the walls before we quote, so the old pipe and old wire are line items you approve up front.
Remodels here are about space: a dormer, a second bath, an open kitchen, a finished basement. Two-family owners get per-unit pricing and one crew for the whole building. Everyone gets a person on the phone 24/7.
Response times

What people hate about other companies — fixed here
The complaint
“Nobody called before they showed up. Nobody called when they didn't.”
Our fixYou get a real arrival window, a call when we're on the way, and a photo update text every workday. If a day changes, you hear it from us first.
The complaint
“We paid a deposit in March. The work started in June.”
Our fixWe don't take deposits. You pay as work gets done, so we only get paid for weeks we actually show up.
North Arlington questions, answered
Do you work with landlords and two-family owners in North Arlington?
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.
Can I just text you a photo?
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.
Can you do the plumbing and electrical too, or do I need other contractors?
We have a licensed master plumber on the team, plus electricians and heating and AC techs. Kitchens, baths, basements and additions get every trade under one contract, one schedule and one person to call.
Can we live in the house during the work?
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.
