Standard Inspection, LLC

Frank is not only very accommodating, friendly and customer oriented but he is also very experienced, professional efficient and helpful! It is very rare that you meet trustworthy reasonable people in this industry!

Excellent experience with Frank. He's knowledgeable, friendly and affordable. I highly recommend him!

I'm Board President of a condominium complex in Montclair NJ. We hired Frank to inspect three units in our building. We were impressed with his expertise and professionalism. Frank is friendly and communicative, sharing his wealth of knowledge with myself, our owners, a visiting contractor and our Board Secretary. We have the utmost confidence and trust in his recommendations. He came well equipt with state of the art diagnostic equipment for his inspections and thoroughly explained every procedure. I've already referred him to other neighbors for their future needs and am pleased to highly recommend him here on Home Advisor.

He was really good! As a former construction specialist, he was extremely knowledgeable and had great insights. His professionalism put our nerves at ease. Walked us through the process step by step ensuring we completely understood every aspect and ensured clear communication. It was a great experience and we would recommend him highly. -Daniel F.

He did a great job and I do recommend him.

Frank is a pleasure to work with. He cares to get the details correct, works with you when dealing with unexpected issues, cleans up everyday, and works for a fare price. I'd hire him for projects big and small. Most importantly, you can trust him.

Mr. Frank Abate from Ridgewood Development Group responded timely and did high quality work. His fee wass the work was reasonable. I highly recommend him.

Work is impeccable and Frank and his crew are great guys. Great va

Frank Abate at Ridgewood called immediately in response to my inquiry, quickly provided a proposed work plan and estimate and, a week or so later, the masonry work we needed was satisfactorily completed. We plan to use Frank's services again in the near future.

Frank is extremely dedicated. He did a number of projects for me including hanging a microwave in a very awkward spot, rebuilding an outside cover over basement steps, and some smaller things as well. I was very happy with the results of all the projects. Frank also goes the extra mile. When hanging my microwave he had to build a custom bracket....a number of times before he got it perfect. But he kept to his estimate. Frank came back again and again to help me dispose of debris from other projects he wasn't even involved with. And when my electric mysteriously went out, he had his guy at my house within the hour to take care of it.

Ridgewood Development stands above several top notch contractors I interviewed. Frank Abate amazingly evaluates projects with great interest, provides sound advice, and offers services at great rates. His team surprises you beyond expectation: always prompt, dependable, courteous, honest, trustworthy, focused, and true experts in their profession. They replaced my garage door headers, repaired several water leaks (kitchen ceiling, shower area, dining room window), sheetrocked, spackled walls, caulked windows/doors. Our relationship with this team-family has just begun, for our entire future small/large projects, with much respect & gratitude!

We needed a professional and reliable contractor to handle a underpinning project for us. We were moving to Tennessee and desperately needed a contractor with strong project management skills to get the job done and done right. Frank Abate of Ridgewood Development Group exceeded our expectations and got the job done without a hitch. Thanks Frank for a job well done. I would highly recommend him.

We hired Ridgewood Dev to completely redo our kitchen, including construction, electric, plumbing, insulation, appliance installation. The workers were efficient, timely, thorough, and neat. There were a few unexpected structural and design issues that came up along the way (no fault of the contractors just discovered upon demolition) but the company owner managed them well, offering us advice, suggestions, and assisting in resolutions that kept us in our financial means. We are in love with our new kitchen and very pleased with Frank (owner) and his team. Would recommend to others and use them again.

I hired the Ridgewood Development Group after interviewing several companies and checking multiple references. I was impressed by the Ridgewood Development Group's honest appraisal of my situation, as well as by the glowing endorsements from previous customers. I needed to replace some rotted siding along the side of my 90-year-old house. The staff at Ridgewood Development Group, headed by Frank Abate, identified additional rotting sections during the project. The work expanded well beyond the estimate, but the final invoice was exactly as expected. The communication was clear throughout, and the workmanship was top-notch. A terrific job.

He did a really good job. Just that is a reflection of the economy, he is in place, still has he employees for the work. He was available, answered the questions I had for the work.
