Revival Renovations
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 October 2023
“Tim Lutke, contractor, makes your dreams happenHe is a gem. He is master of his very skilled staff: construction, electrician, glass fitters, stone mason, plumber, and painters. Foreman , Chris, checks often to make sure if we need anything. Tim has contacts in the field which has been helpful in decision making. The contract for the job was met within the timeline given. Everyone was respectful of the property.They often reviewed the ongoing work. Outstanding completion of a bathroom, closet and repair of a ceiling which had a leak. People who see the workmanship are amazed when they see the completed projects.”
Monk's Home Improvements
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 October 2012
“We have used Monks several times. Our most recent project involved refinishing our floors and painting some inside of our house. These guys answer their phones, show up on time and give you a quote on their first visit. Then they started on time and finished on time. They weren't the cheapest way to go, but they were the only company I found that could handle the painting, floors and carpentry without subbing everything out. We felt it was worth the money to have one company running the entire project and we were right.”
Heritage Homes Construction
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 August 2016
“We had a wonderful experience with Heritage Homes Construction! They did a fabulous job on our entry level, which needed a complete floor to ceiling revamp! Heritage Homes renovated our TV/playroom & it is our favorite spot in the house! They are honest, professional & fair. Their work is unmatched. I would recommend HHC to anyone looking for a wonderful team of people who provide beautifully detailed results.”
WA Construct
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2019
“I had the pleasure of working with Warraich Associates for a new construction project on an existing foundation. The principal, Hasnain Nasir was not only passionate but he possess strong knowledge about construction and remodeling. His attention to detail and his efforts to build a great home is the best I've experience by far. He is also informed of the new technology to build Smart Homes. An excellent builder and remodeler if you're looking for one.”
Magnolia Home Remodeling Group
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars19 April 2016
“Magnolia just completed a master bathroom addition in our home; they were very thorough and thoughtful in their approach, ensuring all elements of the project were completed in a timely manner with an eye to highest quality finishes. They also put forward ideas for us to consider as the project evolved and offered alternatives that complimented the overall project. Chris was very accommodating and flexible on this 7 week project - overall very good to work with.”
O'Meara Construction Services LLC
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 July 2015
“We were introduced to O'Meara Construction through our client who worked with Rob and his team on another project in their home and had nothing but good things to say about them. In fact, they raved about the professionalism they experienced and Rob's ability to stay on schedule. So, naturally we worked with O'Meara on the project that Studio China Architecture + Design planned and the project was a success. Rob worked methodically through the process and ultimately the space came together exactly as we had envisioned. We highly recommend O'Meara Construction and look forward to collaborating with Rob and his crew on the next project.”
Dino General Contractor
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 May 2019
“Dino installed our kitchen cabinets with perfect precision and detail. He built our island beautifully like a piece of furniture. He sat with us through the entire kitchen design to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and that all designs made sense with functionality and fit. He often followed up with vendors to ensure we got what we paid for and received the best finished product. Dino was a great liaison for us to source the right products and subcontractors, we are not in the construction business and this was our first home and renovation. He spent all the time we needed with us and we never felt rushed. He completed our project down to last detail before moving onto his next job. We felt we could then and still can call him anytime with questions.”
DAG Contractors
Builders in Essex County, NJ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 June 2021
“DAG and the owner Dan are great to work with. We have partnered with Dan on many occasions, first for home renovations, second as our consultant for our new build where he provided expert advisement every step of the way (architecture, construction, vendor selection, project management). Dan has an expert eye and the experience to match allowing him to see and suggest solutions to areas of our build that were not in line with our vision and expectations. He really listens and understands his clients and always keeps their best interests at the forefront of his service. He is an expert in residential builds, a savvy negotiator, he has a wide network of excellent relationships with a variety of best in class vendors. Because of all of this Dan is able to secure great pricing and genius alternatives when needed (think about back orders, prices increasing, and other covid delays)….Dan finds a best case solution without us having to worry about it. Dans excels at multitasking and keeping the projects on time and on budget. He will go above and beyond to ensure his clients are satisfied with the product and the service. Having him as our owners rep for our new build has brought confidence to us every step of the way. Because of Dan’s support and guidance our first new home build has been a fun process, free of worry, doubt, or those unexpected surprises you always fret about. Do yourself a favor and hire DAG - you will not be disappointed and your project will turn out better than you could have ever imagined.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Essex County:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way.
