For over 30 years, owner George Ellenberg, has been building high quality structures. George merged a wealth of experience and skill into a company that has earned a markable reputation as one of the leading contracting companies. George Ellenberg, and his team of professional architects, licensed plumbers and licensed electricians, combine their strengths to create an unbeatable force in construction.
"George and his crew (Dave) were amazing to work with! From planning, to permits, layouts and every detail that goes into gutting and redoing our home was a breeze! George is extremely easy to work with, and we were happy to see him every day for 6 months!! George is punctual and shows up when he says, he works hard and even showed up during snow storms and weekend when needed. George stuck to his timeline and always communicated with us...even answered my 100 phone calls. He has an attention to detail that is unlike any other. We have two small boys and he made sure to keep all construction areas safe for them and even showed up with hammers and safety glasses so they could help knock walls down!!! I have reccomended George to a half a dozen friends already and will continue to do so!! Such a pleasurable experience and an all around great guy to work with... he truly remade our dream home!!!"

As a fully licensed and insured company with over 30 years of experience, we have garnered the respect of our clients and homeowners as well as industry professionals. Home buyers today want more out of their home than ever before. They want a creative and innovative home with a unique floor plan. At Built-Well, we understand the needs and desires of today’s home owners and buyers. Our homes, additions, and renovations are designed to suit your individual needs while incorporating style, luxury and convenience. Whether you are thinking of a custom home design, a whole house renovation, or a second story addition, Built-Well is uniquely positioned and qualified to provide attentive, expert service by an experienced, talented team from initial concept through construction.
"The best! Keith, Hank, Michael and Grant were a pleasure to work with over the course of several months last year. I have dealt with many contractors, both personally and professionally, and I can tell you that they should be your first call on any project. The work was done on time and on budget. We added some things to the project, but in no way did they push us to add a single additional item. In fact, we added a complete rebuild of the deck after the project had begun and there was no premium on the additional cost as compared to other contractors who know they have a captive audience. They were present at the property nearly every single day of the project, including Saturdays, as opposed to other contractors who simply give the work to subcontractors and check in once or twice a week, at best. In other words, they know what is going on at all times and are able to give guidance and direction to the subs, and us, on site. They are also more than willing to listen and make any adjustments without crushing you with additional costs! And, they actually work and work hard (especially through the brutal, brutal summer heat last year when we lost our air conditioning for a couple of weeks). I have known Keith and the crew for many years and there is nobody else I would trust to complete such an extensive project which included: completely new roof, all new siding, replacement of every single window in the house (which Keith, Hank, Michael and Grant) did personally, new addition (which included replacement of primary first floor structural beam), new primary bath and primary closets, new flooring, whole house painting including ceilings and more. Lastly, they don’t bite off more than they can chew which sets them so far apart from every contractor we have ever dealt with. Personal touch, presence, attentiveness and excellent workmanship. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for custom home building projects in Hackensack, NJ
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
