Home Remodeling New Jersey
Warren – Watchung – Basking Ridge – Madison – Chatham & Surrounding Areas
"Should we remodel or rebuild?" That is the question we hear most often from homeowners in the luxury communities of Warren, Watchung, Basking Ridge, Madison, Chatham, and surrounding areas. We will help you to evaluate your project to determine if remodeling or rebuilding is the best approach. When remodeling a home, everyone wants to make their home special. However, remodeling a home can be overwhelming. Where do you start? Are there budget considerations? What about the style, design, and plans? Is the home located in the right neighborhood or location? Are there homeowner association, community, city, or state restrictions that may impact the design or plans. What about New Jersey DEP Regulations and restrictions? NJ Flood Hazard restrictions and other set-back requirements?
Many wonder if there is a NJ home remodeling company that they can trust who will take full responsibility for the entire project? Should you form a team? Which professionals do you need, and how do you select them?
These are all valid questions and concerns. So how do you make major decisions like these? Do you have a clear strategy or plan, or do you make decisions based on feelings, or instincts?

How much does it cost to build a custom home in NJ?
Many buyers feel building a home can be very expensive and overwhelming. Where do you start? What are the budget considerations? Others wonder if there is a professional that they can trust who can guide them through this process. The price of building a custom home starts with the cost of building the shell. The shell typically accounts for 40-60% of the total cost of a custom home. The size and architectural style of the home are the major factors affecting the shell price. The remaining costs of construction, which will represent 40-60% of the total cost, are based on lot improvements, design, and material selections. Overall, the buyer is in full control of the final price by making decisions on over 60% of the features that will cause the final pricing to be at, above, or below their desired budget.

How much does it cost to build a 2500 SF house in NJ?
There is no definitive answer to the question of how much it costs per square foot to build a house in NJ, as each home is unique. Design, schedule, and budget are all factors that control the final pricing of a custom home. After years of working with homeowners, we have found that the best results are achieved when there is a clearly defined objective, an effective strategy, and a workable plan to follow. The two methods used for luxury home projects are known as the Competitive Bid Method and the Collaborative Method. The Collaborative Method is best for assuring that the buyers pricing goals are achieved. It is important to understand who will be making the decisions that affect costs and how those decisions are made. The builder and design team should give the buyer options for each selection with clear allowances established ahead of time, to help reach the desired budget.
Why is a custom home more expensive?
Given that custom homes are created from scratch and take into account the buyer's every desire, it is no wonder why they are more expensive than pre-existing production builds or existing homes. The cost of a custom home depends heavily on the materials used and the desired amenities. With a custom home construction, you will be paying extra for special installation services due to the extra labour that comes with creating something new from scratch. Furthermore, because client desires are always changing, there could be additional costs associated with alterations if you change your mind halfway through the project. Ultimately, custom home building requires more money and time investment to create an individualized dream home that perfectly matches your tastes.
Can you build your own house in NJ?
Building your own house in NJ requires a bit of planning, but can be a rewarding experience. Before you even break ground, you'll need to make sure you have the correct permits in place. In order to obtain that permit, be sure to submit plans of the desired design with all the required forms. Keep in mind that the cost for said permit depends greatly on what is included in the new construction and can vary greatly. The most important part? Being patient while navigating the process – it's worth it when you see your vision come alive! Of course we always recommend homeowners to research and contact the top home builder in your area as they will educate and guide you every step of the way.
