Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in New Vernon, NJ

"I came to the link to share it with a friend who is looking for a contractor because I wanted to recommend her to Joseph and Sons and realized I have not written my review yet. I know is a late review though the feeling is the same :) I met with Angelo in the winter of 2019 - a tree had fallen over our roof, we had damage in different areas of the house including the deck. I will make it efficient for you guys; 1. They worked around my budget and went above and beyond 2. They cleaned up after themselves every time 3. Staff was extremely respectful. No music, or Loud conversations and absolutely nice. We enjoyed getting coffee for them and sweets for late afternoon snacks. 4. They will get the job done the way you have imagined it, not the way they think is best. 5. Angelo understands your needs and will help you get as much load off your shoulders as possible. 6. Clean finishes. Sharp paint skills. Detailed focused. 7. Angelo understands how the HOI works, and all the possible ways things could end up working out, so we were always prepared and the job came to finish under the full given budget by the HOI co. 7. I hired him for a few other things at home. 8. They did; new roof, full master bath reno, master wall, second bath ceiling, guest room wall+ceiling, kids room wall + ceiling, second-floor whole-way ceiling, kitchen ceiling, deck reno + pain, AC repairs, paint outside and inside, gutters. They are truly awesome, it was a blessing from heaven having them to help us deal with so much stuff. If I have more projects to do at home I will be calling Angelo again."

"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 a google search 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 18â x 28â 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 is 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 alway 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!"

"Wilber's is excellent and went above and beyond what we contracted the company to do. Got three quotes from different vendors and Wilber's had the most competitive pricing. The job manager, Eric, was excellent at communicating about the work and steps needed to complete the job. Wilber's even helped to order the doors that they needed to install from a local vendor they recommended. You could not ask for more in terms of craftsmanship, communication, and consideration. For example, the workers even returned after the job to clean up an inconsiderate bird that treated my newly painted white house like a personal toilet. I would recommend the company to anyone in NJ looking to do work on their home."

"We have had Cesar for many projects over the last 10 years. Bathrooms, bedrooms , roof, deck, shingle replacement, interior and exterior painting. I wouldn't use anyone else for my major and minor home repair."

"Our experience with Indigo Construction was very pleasing. They recently completed major repairs in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The owner, Ryan, was incredibly professional, honest, and easy to work with from start to finish. His communication was excellent, and the quality of craftsmanship was outstanding. Ryan and his team paid close attention to the details and left everything spotless when the job was done. We highly recommend Indigo Construction and will absolutely be using them for all our future projects!"

"Alex was thorough. They were flexible due weather delays on the roof repairs."

"Tony and Team did a great job. We look forward to working with them on additional home projects. I will certainly recommend Tony to friends and family. Best, Chris and Nancy"

BUYER BEWARE.  I hate long reviews...but I wish someone rang the warning bell with a review of their experiences before we used Ernest & Sons.

To be fair In the end the job was done--but at what cost?  We worked with Jose a few years back to replace our driveway.  Jose and team did an excellent job.  So when we wanted to have our patio and walkway done we called Ernest and sons again.  This time we dealt with Ernest.  Initially he was nice and helpful showing me other patios completed.  We were very specific on timing to finish the project he was in agreement understanding weather delays could impact the completion. 

Once the contract was signed ...communications on their side stopped.  We had to call several times to see when the project would start. Once the job started the guys on site were nice but they did not speak much English and there no project manager to check in to see how things were going. 



When the job was done there was light rain and we noticed pools of water on the patio.  I put paper cups in the standing water and took pictures.  I contacted Ernest he came out and never conceded there was a problem as he looked at the standing water.  However he sent a crew back (again we had not paid yet) to remove the pavers and ensure it was level. They removed pavers in different areas 5 TIMES to level the patio.  While I truly appreciate their efforts...why didn't the first crew simply get it right.

DAMAGES TO OUR YARD AND NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.  In the process of building our patio they drove trucks onto our yard

and the neighbors damaging both yards.  I immediately took pictures and called Ernest--he assured me all damages would be taken care of.  When the job was complete his guys put seeds down and we paid in full.  However almost a month later there were only spots of grass and both yards still damaged.

I called again sent more pictures and he sent another crew that told my husband they were putting  down the 'good stuff this time' (really). We watered the lawns twice a day same as before...the damage is still there are now we have to pay out of pocket to fix our lawn and our neighbors! 



ICING ON THE CAKE.  Company called and asked if Ernest could bring a potential customer to see the patio. My husband agreed assuming he could talk to Ernest about damages.  Ernest was no show...they gave the prospects our address...and to our surprise two strangers walked into our backyard without even ringing the doorbell. I do not fault the couple but Ernest and Sons for handling this entire job so unprofessionally.

If you still choose to use this merchant ...good luck and get in writing how damaged will be handled.

"My wife and I were on a tight schedule after purchasing our first home. We were moving to NJ from the city and had limited time to renovate our home due to our apartment lease expiration. Lima Contracting was able to complete all of our task list and MORE in the amount of time that other contractors said they could not. Lionel, Rob and their crew worked tirelessly to make our first home perfect for us. After the 2-month job was completed, we couldn't have been happier. The house that we bought was gone and what was left, was ours.

"Great job! Very responsible and beautiful work."
