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.

Westwood houses: every era, one crew
Victorians near downtown have cast iron, old wiring in corners, plaster and slate roofs. Post-war capes and splits have small baths, closed kitchens and 100-amp panels. We inspect before we quote and put the old systems on the estimate as line items you approve up front.
Then one crew does the whole job — plumbing, electrical, carpentry, roofing, finishes — with permits pulled by us, the same foreman every day, and a photo update text every workday.
Response times
Emergencies first: burst or frozen pipes, a roof leaking in a storm, sewage backing up, no heat. Call, a person picks up, tells you what to shut off, and sends a crew — in Bergen County that's often within the hour. Planned jobs in Westwood get a same-day or next-day consultation, with the price in writing before we leave.
Permits in Westwood
Every town has its own forms and its own inspectors. We handle Westwood'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.
One crew, first hammer to last coat of paint
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.
What people hate about other companies — fixed here
The complaint
“They wanted the final check before the punch list was done. Then they vanished.”

The complaint
“They said two weeks. It took two months, and nobody would tell us why.”
Our fixThe expected timeline goes in your contract, one dedicated crew stays on your job, and you get a photo update text every workday so you always know what happened and what's next.
Westwood questions, answered
My Westwood 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.
What does the 5-Year Watertight Guarantee cover?
Anything we install that carries water — showers, tubs, pipes, roofs, water heaters, sump pumps. If it leaks, cracks or fails within five years, we fix it and the damage it caused.
Do I have to put down a deposit?
No. You pay as work gets done. That keeps us honest: we don't get paid for a week we didn't show up.
How does the free consultation work?
We come to your Westwood home, measure, inspect and write an itemized price on the spot, with an expected timeline. Same-day and next-day appointments — call before noon and we're often there today. No obligation, no deposit.
Is there a First Call crew near me in Westwood?
Yes. We're based in Paramus in Bergen County and our own crews cover Westwood 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.
