"Matt and Dino are professional, responsible, and punctual. They finished a major renovation of my house right on time. I was out of state during much of the work, but never felt out of touch, talking with Matt virtually every day, including via video. The work quality is excellent, and the un-renovated parts of the house were protected during the whole project. Matt and Dino are both relaxed, low-stress, and very easy to work with. I would happily work with the Prestige team on any future projects (and already plan to)."

"We had a very large project done: a 2nd floor addition to our raised ranch residence that doubled the size of our home. Built-Well Builders was very accommodating and worked with our budget. Contractor Grant is very personable, relatable, and friendly to talk to while working out all the details. Key is keeping communication throughout for extended long projects such as this addition my family had. Built-Well has remarkable teams who brought so much knowledge and expertise working each aspect of the project. There were some mistakes a long the way. Grant and his team handled them well. Pivoting where needed while keeping us updated. Overall, we are happy with the work. We now have a beautiful new home when we needed it most!"

"Cesar and his crew just finished a remodel of my master bathroom. This is the second major project completed in my home by CSZ (prior kitchen remodel) and once again they exceeded my expectations. Cesar worked with me along the way to come up with the perfect design to ensure all my requirements were met. He is knowledgeable and his attention to detail is second to none. The CSZ crew, Armondo and Benjamin were also a pleasure to work with. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and hardworking. They also did an exceptional job cleaning up at the end of each work day. My dog even loves them! I highly recommend CSZ Construction. They will most certainly be back for future projects in my home!"

"I hired BEX Contracting to do a major renovation on my aunt apartment as i was preparing to sell it. I could not be more happy with the outcome., Bex and his team did a fabulous job painting the apartment, restraining the floor and remodeling my kitchen including installing a new countertop and sand and staining kitchen cabinets. Bex is very courteous and reliable, he over communicates and the whole process was a breeze - i cannot recommend BEX Contracting enoguh!"

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!"

"Picasso Construction is very professional,experienced and reliable team. Sergio (owner) is always consulting with you before doing the following step in the project. He was very helpful buying and picking up the materials from the store and also offering us his contractor discount (10%-20%) which saves you a lot of money in the end! My project was done on time and I'm extremely happy with the results! I recommended this team to my friends and family, and they did use them on few projects. I will definitely hire them in the future for my basement renovation project!"

"When we bought our house we needed to completely replace the carpeting with laminate flooring before we could move in. Pat helped us get everything handled quickly and the floors came out looking great. He was very knowledgeable about the process and we will definitely be working with him again for other home improvement projects."

"The bench mark for any contractor is to ask the customer if they had another project would they use the same contractor again. My answer in regard to DDP Construction would be, in a word, "ABSOLUTELY". The finish work was impeccable. Darek is very personable, knowledgeable, reliable and also got good deals on appliances and counter tops, but most importantly, he is accessible. He did a complete renovation on my kitchen. He was on the job every day, not all day long, but available if I had questions. Are there hidden problems and surprise costs when they open your walls, ceiling and floor? Of course there are, but they were handled professionally the very next day. Is your wife going to be completely satisfied? Of course she's not, but she was happy with the finish results. She wanted a flush mounted stove and refrigerator, didn't happen in a 10' by 10' room, but that's wasn't Darek's fault. She thinks the cabinets could have been a little wider and deeper but we both like the soft close doors and drawers, and the construction is excellent. Over the past few years I've had occasion to use about 4 or 5 different contractors for different projects such as roofing, siding, walkways and entry doors. Would I use any of them again? In four words, "not even at gunpoint". Generally you see the general contractor once or twice to sign the contract and to pick up the money and that's it. Like I said, Darek worked with us thru every step of the project and personally saw to any modifications we requested. I would highly recommend DDP Construction and will most likely use them again when I re-do my deck, when I find that bucket of money."

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Fair Lawn, NJ

Medium-density fiberboard performs well in kitchen cabinet applications when properly finished and protected. The material offers excellent dimensional stability, maintaining its shape better than solid wood when exposed to temperature and humidity fluctuations. A quality sealer or laminate covering provides essential protection against moisture exposure. Many commercial cabinet manufacturers regularly use MDF for cabinet doors and components due to its smooth finish and painting properties. With proper installation and maintenance, MDF cabinets can provide years of reliable service in kitchen environments.

Medium-density fiberboard weighs considerably more than plywood of equivalent thickness due to its dense, uniform composition. This additional weight requires stronger mounting hardware and support structures, particularly for shelving or wall-mounted applications. The heavier nature of MDF can complicate handling during installation, often requiring additional assistance for larger panels. For weight-sensitive applications, consider ultralight MDF varieties that maintain structural integrity while reducing overall mass.

Medium-density fiberboard can function in bathroom environments when properly selected and protected. For bathroom applications, moisture-resistant MDF varieties offer enhanced protection against humidity and occasional water exposure. All exposed edges and surfaces require thorough sealing with appropriate primers and waterproof finishes. Areas with direct water contact need additional protection through laminate or specialized waterproof coatings. Proper bathroom ventilation helps extend the lifespan of MDF installations by reducing ambient moisture levels.

Medium-density fiberboard production utilizes wood byproducts and manufacturing waste, reducing demand for virgin timber. Traditional MDF manufacturing incorporates formaldehyde-based adhesives that can release emissions over time. Many manufacturers now offer formaldehyde-free or reduced-emission options for health-conscious consumers. The material's consistent quality and efficient manufacturing process result in minimal waste during production. When selecting MDF, look for products with environmental certifications that verify sustainable manufacturing practices and acceptable emission levels.
