"Matt and his team were respectful, on time and budget, and cared about the end result. The communication was consistent and helped us live our lives around a major renovation. We're very happy with our new space in our home and feel like it has always been there."

"We could not be happier with the work performed by Grant, Keith and their team. They were professional throughout the entire process from quote to clean up. The main reason for this project was that our roof had had leaks and ice damming for quite a few years. A previous contractor had done substandard repairs to our chimney after hurricane damage, and the flashing leaked ever since that work was done. We got quotes for the roof repair from three contractors, and Built Well provided the most detailed and cost-effective quote of the three. Because of their professionalism we also had them replace our cedar shingle siding, which was dried and damaged. One really nice touch was that we had a really ugly central air conditioning pipe going up the side of the house, clad in a downpipe. Built Well opened up the wall sheathing and hid that piping inside the wall -- what a difference! The team went the extra mile, paying special attention to some of the finer details of the trim work. I wish i could add photos to this review, because the house is beautiful (with a roof that no longer leaks!). I would not hesitate to recommend Grant and Keith, and will work with them if ever I need any other major work done to the house."

"I hired Andy from Apex to assist me with major home repairs from an insurance claim for my master bathroom and kitchen floor below it. Andy is a TOTAL BULLDOG with the insurance companies. Like WOW. He knows the State Laws so well and quotes them verbatim to the insurance adjuster for you when they tried not to give me my full entitlement based on my policy I had been paying on for years. Andy not only fought for me to get every penny I was entitled to from my insurance company, but his team also remediated and repaired my home in record time. I was VERY happy with how Andy fought for me not just for a week, or two weeks, but for MONTHS with my adjuster to ensure I got what I was entitled to. I honestly never hired someone who actually cared that much about getting not only the job done, but getting me my full insurance benefits that I wasn't even aware I was entitled to. And BOY did the insurance company push back the entire process. But Andy stood FIRM, assertive, and handled it!"

"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!"

"Emile is a great contractor and I highly recommend him reservation to anyone looking to upgrade or do a home renovation project. He helped us renovate our primary bathroom (completely, down to the studs and completely changing the layout), created a main floor laundry room, and an extra bedroom. Emile provided a comprehensive estimate, which was accurate, and he finished the entire job within the agreed upon time frame within the estimate. His crew were complete professionals, polite, and did excellent work. We could not be happier with the results and our new spaces. The rooms are beautiful. He went above and beyond in all respects, even when I decided to make changes to the design along the way, he was able to roll with them and told me how much various options would cost and other pros and cons of those options (tiling the whole bathroom vs partial, heated floors or no, different types of fixtures, etc)."

"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!"

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Oakland, 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.
