NJM Construction Co., LLC

I hired them to do a bathroom remodel. , my issue is I paid 25 percent down and they have not done any work. That has been since Sept 4th.

Working with NJM was an absolute pleasure. We were pushing off this powder room renovation because we just couldn't face the noise, dirt and the hassle of dealing with contractors. If we had know John at NJM earlier, the powder room would have been done 2 years ago. We loved that this is a family-owned and -operated business which means that they take ownership of the project and do everything to make it work. When we met John (who looked at the job at hand and provided the estimate) we had the feeling we were in good hand. We saw photos of his work and spoke to some of his previous customers, we knew we would work with them. The end result proves that we made the right decision. After 4.5 days of work (removing/replacing the wainscoting, tile floor, toilet, sink, fixtures, light and also adding insulation to our outside walls), our powder room looks just amazing. John and his team worked very focused and quiet (much appreciated as I had to work from home during the project), he had great ideas and provided a meticulous job. Throughout the whole project he communicated very well (this is where many contractors fail), which ensured that we got exactly what we wanted - no misunderstandings, no misinterpretations, no fixes needed. We are very pleased, happy to highly recommend NJM Construction Co LLC. and would hire them back in a heartbeat

I hired NJM Construction to renovate a newly purchased home in Nutley, New Jersey. The project lasted over 4 months in duration and involved renovating the entire house. This included finishing out the basement with a new family room, gym, sauna, bath, and guest bedroom with full bath. The existing kitchen and three and half baths were demolished and redone. New trim, windows, doors and closets were also installed throughout the original structure. Finally, all the plumbing, heating and air conditioning and electrical systems were replaced. I have extensive experience working with contractors. At my previous home I undertook seven separate remodeling projects ranging from bath and kitchen renovations to the addition of a family room and master suite. Several things made our experience with NJM so good: - Theyâ re a one-stop shop, you get design and build services and they order all the materials. This is highly convenient and allows them to ensure product and service quality. â John is a third generation carpenter, heâ s highly skilled and knowledgeable! John and his entire team are experienced, reliable and service oriented. They proactively made a number of suggestions which improved the final product. Given the project's size and duration we got to know all the key subs very well. The construction foreman, tile guy, plumber and electrician were especially good. They do extremely high quality work and also frequently offered up good suggestions for improvements. Proof of the quality of their work is in the fact that first itâ s Beautiful second is that we passed every single inspection the first time. lastly, they are fair and reasonable. When issues or unexpected costs came up, we were quickly able to get to a solution that left everybody feeling ok about what was happening. NJM Construction Co LLC WAS BY FAR THE BEST CONTRACTOR I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM WITHOUT HESITATION FOR ANY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

Absolutely the best! NJM did our kitchen in 2017, from the first day to the last John was here working with his team, overseeing every aspect of the project. The quality of his work is excellent!! I have and will continue to highly recommend them to our friends. Excellent work, EXCELLENT CONTRACTOR!!!

We first met John at NJM socially over 30 years ago thru a mutual friend who was having a party. During our conversations we learned that he had done most of the remodel work on our friends home, so over the years we have had him work on our home. During the last 30 odd years he's done many projects on our main home as well as our beach house. Kitchens, all of the bathrooms, the entire first floor and second floor of our main home, and the first floor of the shore home. All of the projects over the years were met with the same commitment and professionalism that anyone would expect. His entire team including the sub-contractors were pleasant, hard working, skilled, and extremely neat, there was never a mess to deal with. Inspectors not only passed his work consistently, but many remarked on the high quality of the work. In more than one instance he's worked for those inspectors. We just recently discussed a project on a lake home were purchasing in the fall. Over these years we've seen all of the work he's completed, too many to mention but every one of them came out amazing. His list of references are many and each one is impeccable. We've recommended him to our friends, and our friends have recommended him to theirs. NJM Construction does amazing work, and treats each project as if it were their own home. Great company, Great team!!

We had decided to remodel our second floor and the kitchen and found NJM through a Google search. We set up a time to meet for later in the week to give us an estimate. After interviewing about 6 contractors we decided to go with NJM for the job, this turned out to be the best decision we made. For the amount of work that needed to be done including, kitchen cabinets, counters flooring and various repairs his price was truly affordable. You can tell he's a perfectionist, and takes pride in his work. If there was something that needed to be changed or addressed he they did so without hesitation . I trusted his opinions as they guided us through the renovation. They're very attentive to every little detail and truly transformed our house into aa home. We've already hired them to renovate the remainder of the first floor. The entire team was a pleasure to work with, they were all kind, polite and hardworking. The entire first remodel took about 7 weeks, while others told us about 3 months or more. John was there every day, Very professional, hardworking and truly a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them..

Unbelievable commitment to the details, extremely reliable. John is very hands on and takes his work very personally. Clearly he loves his profession and it shows in the quality of the work, which is EXCELLENT. A true gentleman as always! Use with extreme confidence.

My wife Kate were looking for someone to put a large addition on the back of our Cape style home in Montclair, and we met John thru an on-line which took us to his website, from there after reading his background, looking at his achievements and the many photos we decided to reach out. We had architectural drawings, a wish list so to speak, and of course a budget. The project was a 18 x 28 addition, an open floor plan to allow for expansion of the kitchen, and dining room into what would become the Great Rm. When we first met, John looked at the drawings and noticed a few very important details were missing, our architect had not designed any support for where our rear wall of the house was going to be removed, this for the open floor plan, the opening was big, almost 24 ft. There also was no design for the cathedral ceiling at all, which was a major item on our wish list, so we right then and there called our architect, he stated he was having trouble making the design work. John raised an eyebrow, and looked intently at the plan and our existing rear wall and in just minutes had the solution for both the open plan support and the cathedral ceiling. We had to make a few design changes but it sounded like we were going to get close to what we were looking for. We talked a little more and John left with the drawings. We were extremely impressed with his ability to spot and solve the problem. A few weeks later after some back and forth on details and numbers, we met with John again, he had more detailed sketches of his solutions to the noted problems for the architect to apply to the drawings, and a contract which we had pretty much negotiated prior to the meeting. We signed him up and moved forward. From the first day to the last John was on site with his men, both directing, planning and getting his hands dirty. I should mention we were living in the house during all of this. He and his team always made sure everything was kept clean, they took many precautions to keep the dust and grime out of the space we were using. He sent progress photos during the day most days which was very helpful as both me and my wife worked all day, so for the most part we only saw John early in the morning as we were leaving. He treated our home as if it were his, as yes no-one was home most days. Our expectations were high, and John and his team met all of them, their proactive approach to work, the attention to the details and the quality of work was nothing short of amazing. We totally love the space! We will always give him our future work! And share him with our friends!

We hired John and his team to completely remodel our first floor, including the kitchen, den, family room, powder room, and entry hall. Going in we didn't have a plan, just a vision and some ideas, John took our ideas and Pinterest photos, working along with us and applying what we envisioned, then spent the time to put this all into a design app and create 3 dimensional renderings, all on his own. The we sat the second time he presented us with his concepts, along with a rough proposal of the cost. We loved the fact we were able to see this in a way that we could actually feel like we were standing in the space, that was extremely helpful in making our decisions. His references are impeccable and he's worked for many of our friends. Once the project started he was on site every day working alongside his team. He was always available to answer any questions concerns, and if a problem was found and there were a few as it was an older home, it was brought to our attention and addressed immediately. We communicated almost daily if not directly then thru texted progress photos. As to the quality of the work, IT WAS EXCELLENT, my impression was that he enjoyed his work, for most its just a job, it was more like he was working on his house, and he took great pride in what eh was doing for us. I think the Kudos really lit him up! I could go on, and there's not enough stars available. I give him TEN. GREAT JOB TO YOU AND THE TEAM!!!!!!!!

Moral of this story: If you value your money at all, do not hire NJM Construction. That is all you need to know, but keep reading for details. Let me tell you about NJM. We hired them in May 2018 to build a garage and breezeway and install new windows in our house. In the first month of working with them, the red flags started popping up like a color guard routine at a high school football game. First, after agreeing to one of his proposals, they emailed a contract to us and continuously called my husband and me the next day to get us to sign and more importantly, hand over the deposit check. We should have known then that something was off. But, we handed over the check and lucky for them, our bank screwed up, and they ended up with double the money we intended to pay him at that point. The next month of working with NJM consisted of nothing other than them insisting that the money never made it to their account. Coincidentally, all the money hit their account right before our next payment was due anyway, so they never returned any of it.Then it took 2.5 months for any paperwork to be submitted to our town. At that point we made some changes and small additions, fully anticipating a slight increase in cost. We will get back to that shortly. Fast forward to SIX months later when we finally have a permit to build our garage. I will not even get into the details of those six months except to say that they were full of delays, caused both by NJM and our town. They will blame everything on the town but if you put NJM s delays on one side of a see-saw and the town s delays on the other, the town would be launched into the air like an illegal roman candle set off on the 4th of July. By that point it was January and it was too cold to work. Finally, at the end of March, a start date was set. That is eleven months after we signed a contract. NJM figured this would be a good time to give us the official change orders for modifications decided on about seven months prior. Between our additions and unplanned drainage requirements by the town, the cost of the project had practically doubled. Yes, they went seven months without notifying us of this. We decided to just nix the deck completely so work could get started immediately. Then came the excuses. I am wrapping up other jobs. I need to order supplies before I can start. I am sick. If we had a nickel for every excuse we got from the start of this project, we probably could have paid for the entire thing with a giant barrel of nickels. And that brings us to where we are today, 14 months later. Our garage is beautiful. It is imaginary, but it is beautiful. And it gets better. When we decided to terminate the contract, we agreed that NJM would keep the money for the work that they did and return the rest. Ready for a laugh? They think that the day and a half window install and the permits we have are worth over $9000. BTW, we supplied the windows. So, $9000 for a garage permit and unfinished window installation. We tried to negotiate, and just to be done with NJM completely, we finally settled on $7500. Is their work worth that? Does it snow in the desert? But, getting rid of them is worth that.The worst part: they admittedly spent every time of our money, so we are still waiting for them to return it. As we suspected not long after we signed the contract, we feel that NJM used us a bank, spending our money while we paid the interest on it. And they still think they deserve thousands for the work that they have done. We have been working on setting all of our connections to this company on fire for months now. We feel that at no point was there any sign of sincere remorse. And that brings us back to the point. Do not hire.

We hired NJM to replace a support beam for the living room/kitchen as well as bringing our back deck up to code. Despite some challenges with the recent snowstorms that disrupted work schedules, John was able to meet our tight timelines for completion including the town inspection process. He was very "hands on" throughout the process and always available via phone, email and texting to keep us up-to-date on the project progress. The quality of the work was excellent.

We hired NJM to remodel our split level home. The quality of their work is flawless, John was always on site every day with his crew, everything was always neat and clean, a big plus since we lived in the house during the renovation. John had a plan of attack he shared with us every day so we always knew what to expect. We love the work they did, John is truly a craftsman and takes great pride in his work. Cudos John!!!!

We hired John to remodel the first floor of our home, this included the kitchen, guest bath, family room and living room. His input and vision really helped us realize our design. His attention to detail and the quality of his work is impressive. He was always available to answer our questions and address our concerns, as well as provided us with options to our own ideas. Most definitely will be using him again, will be recommending them to all of our friends and family!!!!

We hired NJM to completely remodel our kitchen, John and his team went above any beyond our expectations, their attention to detail and craftsmanship really shows. We love the space! We wish we could give them more than 5 stars, they really deserve it!!!!

We hired John to do a complete remodel of our 2500 sqf Ranch, we had a incomplete set of drawings and lots of ideas, and we were stressed that we really didn't understand much about construction and had even less vision. John brought even more ideas to the table, but he had vision and a lot of practical knowledge. On our first meeting he listened to our thoughts, and ideas, and in about an hour or so he had familiarized himself enough with our drawings and had a real good understanding of what we wanted, he was able to help us understand and visualize our possibilities. We interviewed 2 other contractors, but John's experience and his shared excitement and caring made him stand out from them so we hired him and his team. From the first day on the job he was very professional and neat, his team followed his lead, and they were always on time. He didn't use a lot of subs, most of the work was done by him and his team. The whole project took about 3 months, and he walked us through every idea, question, and concern every step of the way, In the end the house is beautiful from top to bottom, the quality of their work is just amazing. We highly recommend them!!!!!

John was very professional and knowledgeable, from the first visit at the house he brought an excitement to the table, showed us ideas that we never would have imagined, it was if he was getting ready to remodel his own home. He was on site every day guiding his team and was always hands on, he truly enjoys his work and it shows in the quality. We would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to all of our friends.

NJM Construction completed a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel at our home. While we interviewed many contractors, NJM stood out with their professionalism, vision and dedication to perfection. John and his team did an amazing job delivering a beautiful, functional, professionally designed and implemented kitchen and bathroom. NJM was very accommodating with addressing increased scope of the project to repair/replace items that were found behind the walls. From carpentry, paint, dry wall, plumbing, electrical and design NJM covered all the bases and really made the renovation a smooth and enjoyable process. They were here everyday, working hard and keeping us informed throughout the project. It was truly a great experience working with NJM we highly recommend them and will hire them again for more projects.

John was very professional and was a pleasure to work with. He performed a complete remodel of our bathroom which included an expansion and reconfiguration. John had a vision for our unique bathroom layout and did a great job making our bathroom much more functional and visually appealing. John was always available to answer our many questions and always put extra thought and care into his work. We plan on using him again for future projects. Highly recommended!

We hired NJM Construction to fix the substandard work done by another contractor. John came in and pointed out things done incorrectly that we didn't even notice. He cared as if it was his own home. From carpentry, electrical work, painting, and drywall repair, to fixing brick pavers, they did it all for us - and did it well. If there's an American version of HGTV's Mike Holmes, it's John Marzano.

We did a total renovation of our first floor including the kitchen , bedroom and master bathroom. John, the owner, was here everyday working along side and leading his team. Even though this was a large remodel everything was always neat and clean. Their attention to detail and quality of their work is nothing short of BEAUTIFUL!!!! We will be using them for all of our projects in the future!!

We had a large, unfinished storage room that we wanted to convert into a gym. Not just a room we could throw a treadmill in, mind you, but a genuine, honest-to-goodness, you would pay to be a member, boxing/yoga/weightlifting gym - complete with weights, workout equipment, a movable heavy bag suspended from a ceiling trolley, a speed bag, padded floors, TV & DVD, lockers - and for good measure, a designer bathroom and shower. Basically, we wanted it all. Not only did NJM take us from what was barely an idea to reality, they FAR surpassed anything we expected! I wish there was a way to post photos here, because it's impossible to put into words what an amazing job they did! ...and if that isn't enough: John (the owner) was on-sight and leading the work himself EVERY DAY. Better still, they got done ON TIME, and (wait for it....) they stayed ON BUDGET! Not only would we hire NJM again, my wife and I agree that we won't hire anyone else. These guys are amazing!!!

John is prompt, neat and a perfectionist. He treats the project as if it is his own home. Very trustworthy as well. He remodeled our small kitchen into something amazing and large as well as 2 bathrooms. John did all of the sketches as well.

John did an amazing job with such a small bathroom space. He's 100% hands on and professional.

They do any type of remodeling and construction you would need. They work closely with the home owner. We re did the whole kitchen and knew what we wanted he did all the measuring and all the figures he did a great job.
