"Dwell exceeded our expectations. The addition Dwell added to our home is stunning. Rowland is a the definition of professional. The entire process was pain-free. If you are in the market for a builder, Dwell should be at the very top of your list."
"I recently collaborated with AVSTEP for various home improvement projects, including roof repair, patio door replacement, electrical work, ceiling recess light installment, new flooring, curtain rack installation, water pipe replacement and ceiling replacement. I am extremely pleased with their work. AVSTEP's expertise in roof repair was evident as they efficiently addressed and explained the issues, providing me with confidence throughout the process. The patio door replacement was seamlessly executed, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Their electrical work adhered to the highest safety standards, and the installation of recessed lights showcased their modern design sensibility. The new flooring, curtain rack, and ceiling replacement projects were executed with precision, adding to the overall appeal of my home. AVSTEP's attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to quality make them my preferred contractor for future projects. I highly recommend AVSTEP to anyone seeking reliable and skilled professionals for their home renovations."

"Joe and Team are very professional and aim to ensure customers are happy. While there were minor unforeseen issues which required more time than anticipated, Joes team continued to work with a smile. While many contractors would have expressed frustration, Joe and his team were courteous, patient, and operated with a positive attitude. They ensured that everything was done right and as other reviewers have mentioned, they are VERY CLEAN. After the door was installed, there was a small gap between our custom tile molding and the door and while we are planning to remodel our kitchen, we didn't want to see the gap even if it was just for a month or two. Joe came back the very next morning and patched it up for us. He completely understood and reassured me that it was no trouble at all. It's a great feeling when you can work with someone who is receptive to concerns, even if its after receiving payment for their services. Excellent service and I cant wait to work with them again."
"The odds were against A+ Professional Painting Services when Derek DeVivo showed up to our house to quote the work that we needed done. After getting burned by a painting service that we believed was capable of doing the job in the first place we questioned our ability to make decisions and were skeptical of every contractor that came to quote the work we needed to get our house back in shape. Furthermore, whomever was awarded our job was doomed to work ?under a microscope? ? our reaction to the circumstances that got us into the position we were already in. It?s not easy for a contractor to work for detail oriented people and having to work for detail oriented people who?ve been burned is about as hard as it gets. When he arrived to estimate our job Derek carefully looked over every room and listened while we strayed into angry conversation about what the other painter did to our house. He was sympathetic and professional in his approach and that immediately won us over. In fact, after meeting with him we were so confident that he would rescue us from the mess we were in that we had mentally hired him, so it was a very long week for us while we waited for his quote. While we waited we worried that Derek?s quote would be too high or that he?d decide to pass on our job. After all, Derek is smart, perceptive, and has a good business sense (we saw that in him the day he came out to estimate our job). Why would he, or any other thriving painting contractor take a job in which the homeowner is likely going to be questioning everything he did, watching over his shoulder every step of the way? While we don?t know exactly what compelled Derek to take our job, we do know that he didn?t back down from the challenge and we?re forever grateful for that. Derek and Brad showed up on the agreed upon date, on time, and ready to work. The job consisted of repairing damage to the walls caused by wallpaper removal (quite a bit of it), significant damage to the walls/ceilings caused by the previous contractor?s attempts to repair them, skim coating, patching, prepping moldings for paint, and painting ceilings, trim, and doors in approximately 2/3 of our house. They were organized and systematic in their approach to the job and took measures to protect our floors and furniture. While you might expect these things from a painting contractor I can tell you from firsthand experience that these are not things to take for granted. Derek and Brad were able to do what a team of five painters couldn?t do before them AND without making a mess or leaving one thing out of place when they were done! Both men worked together on small sections of our house at a time so as to minimize the inconvenience to us. They asked where they could stage their equipment each time they moved to a different section of the house and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. On a day that we were home while they were working we didn?t hear a radio blaring throughout the house, didn?t hear offensive language from them, and didn?t witness them leaving our house to go to another job or out on estimates. We just listened as they worked cooperatively, focused on the task at hand and answered any questions they had along the way. It was EXACTLY the kind of experience you expect to have when you hire someone to work in your home. As you might have guessed we went over their work with a fine tooth comb every night after they were done. What we learned while doing this was that Derek and Brad had a great eye for detail and were making strides in fixing the mess that was left for them. Still, just by the sheer scope of what there was to do, there were things that they either hadn?t noticed or hadn?t gotten to that we wanted brought to their attention. And although we had every right as paying customers to bring these things up we were nervous that we would say too much or push too far and that Derek and Brad would leave our job undone like the previous contractor had. Nonetheless (almost) every day (again, because of the sheer number of repairs that needed to be made) we presented Derek with a list of things that we wanted to see addressed. And every day Derek and Brad took care of these things and then some without complaint. They just stepped up and did the work. A lesser person might have taken these lists as criticism of his work but Derek knew better than that, and if he didn?t, he certainly conducted himself in a manner that indicated otherwise. A true professional through-and-through.

"If your looking to hire contractors for your home addition project, Luis, David, and Eduardo are the guys. They are knowledgeable, efficient, punctual, and accommodating. We are very happy with the outcome. I commend this father and sons tag team. Will definitely recommend to family and friends."
"I contacted them because I saw they had over 100 reviews. Who gets over 100 reviews? They do. They were on time, clean, efficient and even asked my wife to go over all of their work to ensure it was to her liking before leaving for the day. We had our home power washed and gutters cleaned, and we will certainly call Mr Drake again for more services. "
Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts
Coastal storms and high humidity directly impact home building materials and timelines. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion, requiring durable exterior finishes and metal fasteners. NJ experiences deep freeze-thaw cycles, meaning foundation work must reach specific frost depths. Schedule excavation carefully, as heavy spring rains and winter nor'easters cause significant delays and soil saturation issues during construction.
Helpful?
Foundation elevation and flood vent installations demand absolute precision during home building. Incorrectly sized flood openings or foundations built below base flood elevation cause severe structural risks and failed inspections. Wind-resistant framing connections, moisture barriers, and elevated utility placements require strict adherence to NJ coastal codes to protect your property against extreme weather and flooding.
Helpful?
Review quotes carefully for missing flood zone compliance and elevation certificate details. Rumson sits in active flood zones, requiring specific foundation heights and flood vents. Reject quotes missing local permit timelines, soil assessments, or coastal regulatory requirements. A trustworthy local professional will include these items upfront to ensure your home building project stays safe and compliant.
Helpful?
Start your home building project by confirming your flood zone classification and base flood elevation requirements. Obtain a current survey and an elevation certificate early. Verify zoning setbacks and coastal permit requirements with local officials. Schedule a pre-application meeting with the Rumson construction office to clarify inspection expectations and prevent severe timeline disruptions before finalizing designs.
Helpful?
You must decide on an elevation strategy, such as using pilings or a stem wall, to meet flood zone requirements. Home building in Rumson also requires your input on exterior materials that resist salt air corrosion. Additionally, you will need to approve property setbacks, shoreline buffer limits, and specific elevation certificates to ensure proper compliance.
