Get matched with top retaining wall installers in Frenchtown, NJ

"Vinny and his team replaced a retaining wall on my back patio. Throughout the process, Vinny was flexible in his approach to the project and listened to our requests for specific materials and style of the wall. His pricing was very reasonable, and he was responsive to communication by phone and text. His team arrived on schedule, worked hard, built exactly what we had agreed to, and cleaned up afterwards. I am pleased with the finished product and would hire NJ Select again!"

"I had a job that was very sensitive and required an operator that was amazingly precise. It was excavating next to a building with zero tolerance for error. I also had a job that required some consultation on what could be done and how to do it. This job was a new pond. Alex easily completed BOTH jobs ON TIME!! First, he made all the work look so easy with his finesse and control over the machinery. When he completed the wall, it looked as if it was dug with a laser! The pond ended up being much harder than I thought. Terribly rocky soil, extreme heat, and lots of vegetation to remove. Again, Alex made it look easy. I was dumbfounded at the amount of material he was able to move in such a short time. The last piece was the price. The estimate seemed too low. After seeing what Alex was able to do, I knew he was undercharging for his experience and expertise. The final bill was EXACTLY what Alex told me it would be. I cannot say enough good things about how he works. Note, he does not even throw out his trash in my garbage can, he takes it home with him."

"We got our estimate in the morning, the materials were delivered that evening, and the steps were installed the next day! These guys did an absolutely beautiful job! We couldn’t be happier!"

"Keith and his company did an exceptional job! This is the second time I have hired him and he built two retaining walls and fixed two blue stone sidewalks! He is an old school very conscientious person! You cannot hire a better company!"

"The crew was amazing built my retaining wall in a day. This will not be the last time I use them looking into getting my driveway and sidewalk done they will absolutely be doing the job"

"Our chimney was leaking during heavy rain and Top 1 Chimney fixed the problem quickly. They installed new flashing and waterproofed the chimney. No more leaks. Great service."

"Sandstone Construction was quick to come out, competitively price the job and efficiently performing the agreed scope of work. Also highly responsive to follow-up concerns. Highly recommended."

"Excellent experience from start to finish! From the first estimate, I enjoyed the experience of working with the team. They rebuilt a brick wall on our property and did it within budget, on time, and with great skill. Highly recommend!"

"I would give a B+ overall grade, but Angie's doesn't offer that. I want to first level set what I think an A is and why it's a B+. I would give an A if everything went perfectly based on my initial expectation. B is they met most of my expectation, and the ones that weren't met, are probably not end of the world issues. C is they just got the bare-bones job done and can check off the checkbox to say they were done. Anything below that is a failure. First, I would start with the sales process. Although they claim they are a no pressure sales org, I would say that is probably technically correct, although not entirely true. The sales guys were nice enough, but you def got a sales vibe from them where they were trying to make the sale (maybe I'm just naturally sensitive to sales ppl). They were responsive to any follow up question I had on the SOW. They provided estimates on when the work would start and end, which I didn't believe since this is not my first time to the dance. Their head construction guy (Paul) came over a few days later to measure out my place, and this guy was fantastic. You could tell he knew what he was talking about and knew what he was doing. I asked about start date, and he let me know the original one was not gonna happen. I'm glad I asked him; however, in my opinion someone should have notified me about this instead of me having to pull this information out of them. Either way I had already set my own expectation, so even though I was annoyed, it wasn't any deal breaker. Just note that whatever estimate you get will probably not be *exactly* right (things happen, but unfortunately in this modern day and age that is an unfortunately reality with all contractors in all industries). Once they started work, Tylor was my Project Manager, and he was also a great guy to work with. He was able to give me the info that I needed, without boring me with all the nitty gritty details. He had people onsite pretty much every day (this was around the holiday season, so I understood people had vacation). The work spanned demoing my kitchen, installing appliances, floors, baseboards, bathroom shower, tiles, vanity install, medicine cabinet install, plumbing, electrical (the guy was even able to snake an additional line from my circuit box to my kitchen), painting, coordinating with my building super & staff (I live in a coop building so there are things like water shut-offs that need to be managed). Overall, everything was great. The few things I think could have been better (and I think this is really mostly feedback to Paragon): 1) Shower floor does not fully slope down to the drain, there is a local minimum in which water sits in and I have to manually push it to the drain. Really annoying after each shower. 2) The shower door is not as level as it should be. 3) I don't think my flooring should have been installed under my kitchen cabinets. After discussing this point with others after the fact, the floors expand and contract with humidity, so they have no room to "breathe" and may cause stress else where. 4) I specified in the contract that electrical outlets should have been installed to NEC spec (i.e. the ground plug on top). They were not :/. With all that said, I would totally recommend Paragon and would use their services again myself. I waited a full year to write the review so as to give their work some time to settle in, and it has done so just fine."

"I contacted a couple of contractors to get estimates on both a first floor full size bath and a 2nd floor 1/2 size bath that I was looking to extend into a partial wasted closet space in order to add a shower. After a few consultations, I decided that I would need to hold off on the upstairs conversion, since the design ideas and the estimates received were all over the place. I focused on getting the downstairs bath done. I chose Statewide once Juan (the owner) was willing to work with me in order to ensure I had limited access to use the shower, since it was the only one in the house. His team made sure for the 1st few days of the project that plastic was placed around the shower area, so that it was usable.
I had some concerns about the type of tiles used that the quality would not hold up under constant use, but Juan convinced me that they would and had used them on several other projects. I was hesitant, but Juan ensured me that if there was an issue he would take care of it, so I went with what he suggested. They do look good in the room. There were some grout issues, but again Juan ensured me if there was any problems he would fix.
The team did everything possible to protect my home by covering doors, floors and furniture, and they made every effort to clean up each night as well as when the project was completed.
There was an unexpected small nuance once the foundation was opened: a small leak in the sewer pipe behind the wall which was patched up.
While Juan and team were finishing up this project, I alerted him to a smaller project I wanted to have fixed in my basement. The portion of the sewer pipe in the basement had all kinds of additional pipes that flowed to it that were hanging low or attached at awkward angles. I also wanted to change the very old pipes that were attached to the washing machine and move it over so that the dryer could fit next to it. The dryer had been diagonally opposite it making it a bit uneasy and taking up space where it was at.
Juan came back a couple of weeks later changed the portion of the sewer pipe in the basement, replaced several other pipes, added a washer box for the laundry faucets, and replaced my utility sink with a new one I had brought. The end result looks great.
Overall, I am satisfied with both jobs. Well done!
