Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Ernest and Sons to construct our patio tiles. We purchased 2' X 2' Tiles and I have to say they did a gorgeous job. I was so pleased with the way they showed up when they said they would. The men that laid out on my job worked so hard. The labor was very strenuous but they never took a break. They were the most conscientious and polite workers I've ever dealt with. They worked neatly, cleaned up totally afterward, and just had a great deal of respect for our property. They really did a beautiful job and Ernest, the owner is a real gentleman also. Love this company!"

"They were on time, efficient and got to the heart of the problem after a new roof had been put on the house the year before. Although we had a guarantee from the roofing company, they said that they did not cover that kind of situation unless it could be proved that it was a leak due to their work. We contacted DDP from your list and he came over to review the situation.There was mold forming in the corner of the ceiling which connected the roof. We thought it was a leak but it turned out to be mold. The individual assessed the project and gave us a fair price based on the work needed."

"Gene and his crew did an amazing job on our fairly large basement renovation! There were variance hurdles in the beginning with the town that Gene was on top of, attended the virtual meeting and obtained what was necessary to get the job started. The work performed was very involved from digging for a full bathroom and relocating/raising HVAC vents. Gene was receptive to any changes/suggestions made. Detailed trim work to match other doors was a nice touch to doors that needed to be cut to accommodate the space. They were always here when scheduled, cleaned up daily and were respectful of our home. Our basement turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier with the work Your Way Contractors did for us. I plan on using them again on my next home renovation."

"John did outstanding job finishing basement in our house. He provided contract at the beginning of the project with the job descriptions and prizing. The prizing was reasonable. He strictly honors the contract. He worked personally with Livingston city authorities for job permit. John spent a lot of time with the city inspectors and completed all their recommendations. Work was done in very professional manner without any deficiencies. We are very happy! Definitely, recommend this company services to our relatives and friends"

"My wife and I DO NOT use anyone who is not on Angie's List so we understand the importance of having accurate, fair reviews. We found Cary on Angie's List with overall great feedback on jobs he had done so we called him in for an estimate. Despite being very busy, he made the time to come over on a Saturday morning. He had previously dropped by and assessed the damage from the outside but needed to see it from the inside to ensure he could judge it accurately. After 15 minutes, our fears were realized and he said he would need to remove the cedar impression siding and remove the roof and replace it with a different system because the pitch wasn't steep enough. 
Within 48 hours, he provided a quote for his crew to come out and get the work done in a single day which was completely reasonable. He completed the work (guaranteed) as promised and left the site immaculate. He took pictures of the issue, of job progress and of the completed job. He mentioned he went around and filled some other issues he noticed while he was waiting for his crew to wrap up, no charge at all. He then discounted the quoted, agreed price 5% for angie's list deal I wasn't even aware of. Have you ever heard of a contractor accept less than an agreed price? Me neither.
Angie's List is a great resource for people to share experiences. I think the contractors who are honest and reasonable should be applauded too. We have been on the receiving end of some really lousy service so this was a new experience having someone do what they promised to do. Cary and his crew are the best in Monmouth County. We already have him pricing out finishing a storage space and will use him to build our deck in the spring. I cannot recommend Cary enough and you can reach me through Cary if you'd like to see his work firsthand.

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

After finishing home building, obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from local officials before moving in. Schedule all final inspections to ensure your new space is safe. Update your property records with Bergen County to reflect any new square footage. Request lien waivers from your contractor to protect your property. Finally, test for radon, as NJ has naturally elevated levels, and update your homeowner's insurance policy to cover the improvements.

Helpful?

Before starting your home building project, gather a current property survey to confirm your lot dimensions and setbacks. Locate your deed, existing permits, and any previous certificates of occupancy. Check your Paramus flood zone designation to understand specific construction requirements. Provide your contractor with recent local tax records, existing utility drawings, and previous New Jersey radon test results to ensure they prepare an accurate and compliant project proposal.

Helpful?

In the short term, permitted home building ensures your structure meets current safety and energy codes. Over time, completing these projects properly protects your property value and prevents resale delays. Adhering to strict New Jersey energy standards significantly reduces your long-term heating and cooling expenses. Building with flood-compliant materials in vulnerable Paramus neighborhoods also minimizes structural risks and lowers future insurance premiums, keeping your property secure for decades.

Helpful?

When reviewing quotes for home building, eliminate any contractor who lacks state registration or trade certifications. Watch out for proposals that omit permit fees or suggest skipping municipal inspections. A trustworthy professional will always offer a formal written contract and provide proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Avoid builders who seem unfamiliar with Paramus zoning rules, local flood zone requirements, or standard New Jersey radon mitigation practices.

Helpful?

Successful home building starts by designing within Paramus zoning rules, which restrict building height, setbacks, and lot coverage. Maximize your layout by taking advantage of full basements, a standard feature in the area that provides extra functional space. If your property sits in a flood zone, elevate the first floor to meet safety standards. Incorporate thick insulation to meet New Jersey energy codes while planning your room dimensions and window placements.
