Essex County FAQ
Do you do whole-house renovations in Montclair and Maplewood?
Yes. Whole-house renovations of older Montclair, Maplewood, and South Orange homes are one of our specialties. We update mechanical systems, reframe load-bearing walls for open floor plans, and restore architectural details consistent with the original style.
Can you work within Montclair's historic district guidelines?
Yes. We have completed projects within Montclair's historic districts, where exterior changes require Historic Preservation Commission review. Our architects prepare the documentation packets and represent the project before the commission.
How long do Essex County renovation projects take?
A full-floor or whole-house renovation in Essex County typically takes 6 to 12 months from permit to completion. Kitchens and primary suites typically take 3 to 5 months. Lead times for permits in Montclair and Millburn currently run 6 to 10 weeks.
Can you build new construction in Short Hills?
Yes. Short Hills and parts of Livingston still see new construction on infill and teardown lots. We handle the full design-build process including the architectural review required by Millburn Township for Short Hills addresses.
