Expert Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
Begin with a clear vision and we'll convert it into regulation-adherent kitchen and bath spaces that function as beautifully as they appear. We validate ventilation, clearances, GFCI/AFCI protection and correct dimensioning of supply, waste, and ventilation before work begins. You'll get designs that harmonize workflow, safety, and an open concept when structure allows.
We select resilient materials and an upscale finish while maintaining function. Count on water-resistant assemblies, angled pans, protected penetrations, and temperature-limiting valves. Our universal design approach integrates expanded walkways, accessible fixtures, curbless showers, and fortified walls for future grab bars. Storage is efficient: discreet storage spaces, complete-access drawers, and organizers keep surfaces clear.
We handle trade coordination, obtain permits, and guarantee inspections pass the first time. We provide you with carefully labeled warranty documents, as-built drawings, and comprehensive maintenance guidelines.
Space Optimization, Additions, and Conversions
Expand your home's square footage with seamless home additions that coordinate with present structure, utilities, and local Dunellen code requirements. Transform garages and attics into regulation-meeting living areas with appropriate egress, insulation, fire separation, and HVAC integration. Apply smart space planning to maximize circulation, storage, and natural light while ensuring structural integrity and permitting compliance.
Professional Home Additions
When you're looking to add a master bedroom addition, transforming unused space, or reimagining your floor plan, our Dunellen team delivers seamless home additions that look and perform like they were naturally integrated with the house. We design open floor plan expansions with construction planning that adheres to building codes, structural integrity, and energy efficiency. Our designers align building components, materials, and design features to guarantee seamless connections from exterior to interior.
We assess zoning requirements, setbacks, and FAR, then produce certified blueprints, acquire permits, and oversee inspections. For the interior, we align floor elevations, verify HVAC capacity, perform electrical load requirements, and verify proper plumbing airflow for consistent performance. We provide exact joints, soundproofing in required areas, and insulation that meets New Jersey regulations. We conclude with matched fixtures, long-lasting materials, and detailed punch-list control.
Garage and Attic Conversions
Following our flawless additions that match the original home, we bring identical dedication to attic and garage transformations that free up premium usable area without altering the home's foundation. We meticulously examine building strength, vertical space, exit paths, and fire barriers, then create plans to meet Dunellen and New Jersey residential codes. You'll get optimal air sealing, moisture management, and insulation to enhance efficiency and preserve surfaces.
We restructure and enhance floors for live loads, and add dormers where permissible, and integrate conditioned HVAC runs. Our lighting upgrades feature code‑required high‑efficacy fixtures, multi-level illumination, and secure wiring solutions with AFCI/GFCI protection. We place electrical outlets per spacing rules and install smoke/CO detectors. In attics, we maximize storage lofts while preserving ventilation. In garages, we elevate floors, install vapor barriers, and upgrade doors, windows, and soundproofing to create peaceful living areas.
Intelligent Space Organization
Commence by analyzing your current lifestyle and what you require from your living space. We transform that assessment into flexible layouts that coordinate circulation, storage, and daylight. You'll achieve measurable gains by optimizing rooms, consolidating utilities, and standardizing spans for cost control. We implement adaptable zoning to isolate private work zones from active family zones while maintaining escape routes and daylight.
For additions, we analyze zoning setbacks, height constraints, and structural requirements, then incorporate climate control, thermal barriers, and air barriers to satisfy energy codes. When converting spaces, we assess floor ratings, fire separation, and stair geometry. We optimize functionality through built-ins, sliding partitions, and multi-use millwork to organize space. Automated switches, targeted illumination, and well-placed power points enhance usability while maintaining clean aesthetics.
Exterior Upgrades and Curb Appeal Improvements
Moving from ground level to the peak, exterior improvements create impressive curb appeal while optimizing efficiency and regulatory standards. You'll begin at grade with appropriate drainage, edging, and stone pathways that meet slip-resistance standards. Install low-voltage landscape lighting, placed to light up entries and stairs without unwanted glare or overflow. Specify fixtures with wet-location ratings and standard-meeting wiring methods.
Upgrade exterior walls with durable fiber-cement cladding, weather-resistant trim, and attractive shutters sized appropriately for window dimensions. Upgrade existing gutters with properly pitched, correctly sized systems that channel runoff far from the foundation. Opt for insulated doors and Energy Star certified windows to enhance the home's seal and minimize air infiltration.
Conclude with seasonal landscaping that adheres to setbacks and sightlines, using native varieties for better longevity and lower maintenance. All work comply with manufacturer guidelines and local permit regulations.

You obtain plans that are assessed, approved, and carried out to comply with present standards, manufacturer specifications, and adopted guidelines. We efficiently manage permit updates, coordinate inspections, and record approvals to keep your schedule on track.
Prior to demo, we thoroughly check structural load requirements, exit paths, and fire safety standards. During construction, we perform structural evaluations at essential stages-base construction, framing work, mechanical setup, and final inspection-verifying anchoring systems, hardware, and clearances comply with code. We verify electrical GFCI/AFCI location, plumbing venting, and energy code details including air sealing and R-values. Following completion, you get as-builts and inspection sign-offs, safeguarding resale and insurance. Code compliance isn't optional; it ensures the safety of occupants, maintains value, and minimizes unnecessary rework.

Selecting the Perfect Contractor for Your Project
Finding a qualified contractor begins with thorough checking, not gut feelings. Initiate contractor screening by verifying a current New Jersey license, familiarity with Dunellen permits, and up-to-date general liability and workers' comp insurance. Obtain recent local references and photos of regulation-meeting work. Review project portfolios that correspond to your requirements, trades, and complexity.
Evaluate scheduling, supervision, and subcontractor management. Request a comprehensive written scope, CSI-style line items, and a practical timeline with specific milestones. During contract preparation, define allowances, materials, and specifications, required permits, inspections, and closeout paperwork. Link payments to completed and verified milestones-never pay large deposits. Confirm change order processes, unit pricing, and dispute settlement procedures. Confirm safety plan, site protection measures, and warranty conditions. Select the contractor who demonstrates comprehensive documentation, efficient communication, and a verified track record of approved inspections.
