We would like to introduce you to Coventry Additions & Remodeling, LLC. Coventry has been building custom homes since 1995. We handle it all from start to finish. We are fully licensed and insured. All new homes come with a 10-year homeowners warranty. Please call to arrange for an estimate and see what the Coventry difference is all about!

"We worked with Brian and his team at Coventry to turn a tiny 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, single floor "shack" (as my wife put it) in Oakhurst, NJ, into what is seriously the nicest 2-floor (plus full third-floor open storage) home in the neighborhood. 1k sq ft. to >2.5k. We could not be happier with the result, and have been recommending him to family and friends. Brian was meticulous, diligent, forward-thinking (which helped us save money/avoid issues in a lot of areas), and the quality of the work / materials is outstanding (our tenured handyman was just recently highly praising the craftsmanship throughout). Costs were kept under control, despite the inflationary backdrop. We wanted to make a massive open-floor great room, which other contractors said would be too difficult (support beams, load-bearing walls, etc), but Brian made it work. We wanted to raise the ceiling height by 1 ft, which another contractor said would make the project too expensive, but Brian made it work. Similarly, we had ambitions for the added second floor that were not simple, but were guided through all those steps. Late in the project we decided to also redo the kitchen entirely, and Brian helped us budget it in and navigate all the decisions. Cabinets, counter tops, flooring, bathroom details, doors, windows, etc -- we were given great advice and ideas along the way, and transparency on impacts to the budget. We were also steered away from cheap, lower-quality options, as Brian put it: "I am married to this house for the decades ahead, I can't allow you to make decisions that you'll regret." We appreciated having a builder who takes pride in the work. The project took about 8 months from when we got permits (which Coventry took care of... turnkey from architectural plans to the finished home). There were other homes being built/renovated 5-10 minutes away that we noticed started earlier and ended later. Compared to other quotes for the scope of our project, Coventry's all-in price likely falls in-line with the average, but with the result of much greater than average quality work and attention. Would highly recommend Brian and his team for anyone doing a large job on their home or a complete new build."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with MF Builders on a home addition, kitchen remodeling, and bathroom remodeling project, and I am beyond thrilled with the results! From the very beginning, their team was professional, communicative, and truly took the time to understand my vision for the space. The home addition turned out better than I could have imagined, seamlessly blending with the existing structure while adding much-needed space and functionality. The kitchen remodel completely transformed the heart of my home. It now feels open, modern, and incredibly efficient. The attention to detail in the cabinetry, countertops, and lighting really made a difference. As for the bathroom, it went from outdated to absolutely luxurious. The design was both practical and stylish, with quality finishes and fixtures that made it feel like a spa. Throughout the process, the MF Builders team was respectful of my space, kept the work area tidy, and always made sure I was satisfied with each step. What really stood out was their commitment to meeting deadlines and staying within budget. They provided regular updates and were always open to any questions or concerns I had. I am so happy with the final outcome and highly recommend MF Builders to anyone looking to renovate or expand their home. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"After years of working with various contractors on major home improvements, we finally found our dream team with Duane Mainardi Builders!

Double D Construction has been serving Central New Jersey since 1995. We do complete residential and commercial construction, following up with you after the job is complete to make sure everything is done to your satisfaction. Our staff takes pride in the quality of our workmanship and provides custom designed service to meet your every need. Award winning.

"Just a few years ago, we hired Double D to remove all of the old bright yellow siding (40 years old) and remove both layers of old roofing. The goal was to replace the roof and figure out the best options for us regarding the siding. The owner came out, met with us, presented options and associated costs quite clearly. Ultimately, we choose a lovely shade of sage green siding and a gray roof. We could not be happier. The employees were polite and efficient. The work was done in a timely manner (less than two weeks) and still looks great. We had zero problems with Double D. I plan on using them again to update a section of the siding that had previously been covered by a back deck. IMPORTANT NOTE: My neighbors replaced their siding with another company even though we advised them that Double D’s pricing was spot on and extremely professional, with attention to detail. Five months after their siding was installed, huge swaths of siding fell off! And their contractor was no where to be found. That’s when they asked for Double D! You will not regret utilizing Double D and will appreciate the variety of services available."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

Most cottage builds take between six months and one year from planning to completion. The timeline includes design, permitting, site prep, construction, and finishing work. Factors such as weather, material delays, and permitting can affect the schedule. Hiring an experienced cottage building contractor and making prompt decisions can help speed up the process.

The steep slope of an A-frame roof withstands high winds, heavy rain, and heavy snowfall, making them popular all over the world. A-frames also offer simple, quick construction. Finally, an A-frame typically has large windows on the non-roof sides to let in a maximum amount of natural light. Consequently, they are often an affordable building solution for the right homeowner and location.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
