Get matched with top shelter or outbuilding builders in Belvidere, NJ

"Sorry for the delay in getting this review out.  Dave and his crew are outstanding, being very competitively priced, having excellent quality, and pride in their work.  
At times it was difficult to contact Dave LOL, but he does eventually respond, usually in the late afternoon.  When we scheduled the start of the project, it had been 11 days since my last communication with him, but he did indeed get back to me the day before the project, and confirmed he would be there on the scheduled day to start, and there him and his crew was!  He is so popular, that if he answered the gazillion phone calls during the day, he wouldn't get work done.  This is why he makes most phone calls after his work day.
Him and his crew went right to business, tearing down my wall, saving my bay window even though I only asked him to try since my friend wanted it, and kept it in great shape while removing it!  
The first day the door was in, and the subsequent days put the siding they had initially removed, put up drywall, sanded and painted.  
I even paid extra to patch up the butcher job of a hole on another wall i attempted to fix earlier this year.  I also paid extra for debris removal, 
They went above and beyond to complete the job as they patched up and painted an adjacent wall in my dining room where my wife keeps her "Wall of Fame"  with 50 + framed pictures.
These negative reviews are borderline comical.  ALL contracting companies have 1 or more laborers to assist the with the process of completing jobs.  Do you want the head contractor spending time going to his/her work truck to pick up tools that will be needed in a future process of that respective job?  Come on people!  These guys are perfectionists who know you have a deadline you want to meet with the completion of your job as well!
I have already told my friends and family about Nilsen Building and Remodeling, and I highly recommend them.
I have several pictures of the job they did for me start to finish, and will post them if Angie's List allows me to.

"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.

"Frank was awesome, very professional and kept me abreast of the project as we worked through the steps with my town regarding plans, permit, etc... When the job was completed, I was very pleased and have subsequently hired Frank to do several other jobs at my home."

"We had an old home that had gotten too small for a growing family. We liked our neighborhood and wanted to remodel/add on. Matt (MTL Contracting) advised that it would be more cost efficient to replace the old house with a new modular home. He helped us from the beginning in planning out the home, letting us look at many Modular home plans from his supplier and from online sources that we found and letting us modify them to suit our needs. Matt delivered everything promised. We ended up with a very nice NEW house at far less cost than it would have been to move into a comparable one close to our neighborhood and without the headaches of updating old construction. At the outset, he said "I want to give you a TURNKEY house. Everything will be ready for you to move in" and that was what happened. Matt did a lot of the finishing work (front porch, garage, interiors etc..) himself in addition to subcontracting. We picked out hardwood flooring and he installed it, he installed the appliances we bought, tiled the bathrooms with our selection of tile etc.. In addition to building the house, he has stood by the construction and has made himself available when things needed attention (routine settling cracks, some siding that blew off in a windstorm etc.) We had a deck on the old house, and he managed to remove it during demolition and re-attach it to the new house. Later, we decided to remove the deck and put in a patio and MTL came in with a great price and put in a very nice Paver Patio. I would recommend MTL Contracting for your construction needs large and small. Great value and workmanship at competitive prices."

"He showed up on time. I paid for 2 hours but it wasn't enough to complete the yard which I was expecting so he said he could finish it in an additional hour or he could stop. I asked him to finish. He completed the work in the time he quoted. The yard looked great. All the leaves were removed.
"

"Overview - In short the job went exceedingly well, I have zero complaints and Pete (the owner) was one of the most honest gentlemen I've had the pleasure to do business with.  I have already used him to finish my porch and will be using him again in the future.  Heritage's phone number is one you need to keep on file, these guys are amazing!!!
The Estimate - Pete came promptly to my home to give me an estimate on the work requested.  He spent so much time with me listening to my desires and taking the time to explain how we could make them work, things that wouldn't work, and giving me ideas that I never even thought of.  There was never a moment where he rushed me, cut me off, or pushed an agenda on me; that was quite refreshing.  
The Work - Pete and his crew arrived at the time indicated to begin work.  Before they started he told me what to expect, what they would be doing and about how long it would take.  His expectation management and time estimation were on point and made me feel comfortable knowing what goals I could expect to be reached each day.  His work was done impeccably and with no disturbance to my home, my existing landscaping or lawn!  Their craftsmanship is excellent, their attention to detail is amazing, and everything was done with pride as if they were working on their own home. 
Warranty - During the fall I had a few EXTREMELY small issues, this was two months after everything was completed.  I gave Pete a call and explained the problem and he came out as soon as he had time (which was quite quick) to rectify the problem.  He stands by his company and his work, he will never leave you high and dry; a true businessman.  More construction companies should have the pride that Heritage does, these are people who actually and genuinely care about their customers.
Thank you guys for all the work and I look forward to you doing my yard in the very near future!!

"Fabulous. In addition to excellent skills this group is highly creative and have been able to engineer the different requests I have. They have remodeled 2 bathrooms for me, bringing them into this century. They have laid floors, re-built walls and are currently putting in the opening strokes of a kitchen remodel including building cabinets and drawers. Additionally Dominic is tied into the local craftsman network. This allows him to not only complete his portion of the job but manage auxiliary pieces as well. Beautiful work. Always pleased in the end."

"Work completed in a timely manner. I'm very happy with the way the garage looks"

"Craig was professional and patient with our questions. We were very comfortable with the idea of him doing work on our roof and the electrical work. He provided references and even changed a portion of the system as per our request. The reason we did not end up having Craig do our installation had to do with issues outside of our work with Craig.

"I knew it was going to be challenging to find an investor that would lend me money for this real estate venture.  I have lived 20 years in a four unit historic condominium building in downtown Jersey City and I wanted to buy the unit above me as an investment property.  But with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac rules, they would not give me a loan because I would own half the building and this would give me too much control over condo association decisions.  I checked with Angie's List where Central Lending was well recommended and spoke with Mark, the president of Central Lending, about my situation and that I needed an unconventional loan outside of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac oversights.  After many disappointments and on the very last day of my contract with the seller, Mark found a lender.  And on the very last day of the window to the loan, it closed.  I cannot thank Mark and his assistant Judy enough for their patience and steadfast of seeing this through.  I cannot tell you the emotional roller-coaster ride I went through during the 4 1/2 month duration.  There were many moments that I wanted to give up but Mark reassured me that the sale would happen.  Without Mark's personal intervention with the lender and title company, this deal would not have closed.   You can be sure that when I am in the market to buy unit #3, I will not hesitate to contact Central Lending.  Thank you so much."
