The complaint
“They opened our 1930s walls, found old pipes, and the price jumped $8k mid-job.”
Our fixWe inspect the stack and lines BEFORE quoting — old cast iron becomes a line item you approve up front, never a mid-job ransom.

Period look, modern guts
Wainscoting, hex tile, and classic vanities that fit your colonial — over brand-new plumbing and waterproofing.

Ridgewood questions, answered
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Ridgewood?
If plumbing or electrical moves — yes. We pull the Village of Ridgewood permits and meet the inspectors ourselves. It's included in your fixed price.
My house is from the 1930s. Is that a problem?
It's our specialty. We check the stack and supply lines before quoting, so old cast iron becomes a line item you approve up front — never a mid-job surprise.
How fast can you start?
Quotes within the week for Ridgewood. Start dates depend on materials — typically 2–4 weeks out. Your start AND finish dates go in the contract.
My Ridgewood house is pre-war. Can you keep the character?
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.
