Our mission statement: n.j.w. Employees have an impeccable reputation for honesty, multifaceted knowledge of the job at hand and the desire and will to complete the job. From the beginning, NJW Construction established distinct standards to differentiate itself from the competition. We believe that we can best serve our customers by building lasting relationships through our commitment to these standards. 7 employees. Uses subcontractors on mechanics. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges apply.
NJW worked with us to layout a design and assess the usability/functionality of the design. NJW then worked with the building department and inspectors to assure all details conformed to building code. When issues arose, NJW worked out appropriate solutions with the building department. NJW Construction used a combination of NJW staff and subcontractors to complete the project. A site foreman with NJW oversaw all the work and assured that work was started on time and was being done properly. The foreman provided us daily updates on what was happening and what was next. NJW Construction and its subcontractors showed up on time and worked a full day or until the planned work was completed. All workers on the project were friendly, professional, hardworking and willing to answer any questions we had. Finally, all areas of construction exceeded our expectations in quality and workmanship. I thank Joel, Aaron and the rest of the workers on the project for the fine job they did. On many of the design decisions, I relied on the expertise of Joel and Aaron, and I was never disappointed. I would definitely use NJW Construction again.
Description of Work: Our ranch style house had two bathrooms at the far end of the house and a laundry room down in the basement. Since our garage was 25.5 feet deep and 19..5 feet wide, we worked with NJW Construction to add a first floor laundry room and half-bath to the back five feet of the garage. That gave us a half-bath at the other end of the house (from the others), a first floor laundry, and an entry area from the garage..

[member name removed], Thank you for the wonderful review of our company and the work we performed in your home! We enjoyed working with you on this project from the design to the finished project and are very happy to hear we exceeded your remodeling expectations! Aaron is very much an asset to our company and couldn't be happier that he choose to be a part of our team; with his years of knowledge in the construction field and his drive and desire to be a perfectionist on any project he is put on only confirms that bringing him on was one of the best decisions I have made, Aaron, myself and others enjoyed working with you on this project and want to thank you again for choosing and trusting N.J.W. to do your remodeling project!

[member name removed], Thank you for the positive review here on Angies List! We are happy to know that the work performed within your home met your expectations and hope you are enjoying your newly remodeled kitchen! We here at N.J.W. really appreciate your business and if ever you need a contractor for any work we will be happy to accommodate you.
Joel, the owner I think, works closely with his clients. There's a good presentation, but you never know if the flash will live up to the performance. Kenny was the job boss (I guess that's what he is). Everyone showed up on time, worked hard, was accommodating.. There was no juggling different jobs. Pros were brought in for the cold air return. In fact, no problems from beginning to end. My only disappointment was that I had hoped Joel would drop by to look at the room when it was finally finished. understandably, he was off on other jobs. The biggest plus working with these guys: They show up on time and work on a schedule. Now, three plus years later, everyone is happy, no complaints. Not only that, when I needed some gutter work and siding work done just recently (see my other review) I called on these guys. Glad I did. You will be too.
Description of Work: In a 1900 Victorian, we had two bedrooms separated by a small square closet to each bedroom and an equally square closet to the hall (some sort of utility and linen closet). 4' X 3' is not a good closet for a modern lifestyle. By bringing the front closet wall out into the bedrooms a little bit, and turning the hall closet into a narrow utility closet, we were able to provide both bedrooms with a ten foot plus closet, with built in shelving and drawers. This required rerouting electricity, rebuilding cold air returns, matching old baseboard, painting, drywall, etc. They did a splendid job.

The work went great! Couldn't ask for better. Joel set a work start date. About the time of the storms that may have been associated with Sandy. He was half a day late. They set up on a Thursday. On Friday they had a full crew at work. By Monday they were finishing up. Now, the best part of this job is that I knew about the rot on the top of the second floor deck's half-wall. I asked Kenny to look into it. Sometime over the weekend, Joel calls to say that the gutter work did not require some materials he had put into the bid, that if I wanted to replace the siding on the other side where it was rotten, it would be a wash, and he could do it without changing the costs. So, Monday I got new siding on the east side of my breakfast room. So, while 13K is a lot to spend, I figure I got a good deal from a company I trust: they fixed the box gutters front and west, replaced siding and gutter work on the west side of the breakfast room, and then, because the gutters had not presented problems they expected, the siding on the east side of the breakfast room was replaced as well. Do I need to say that they used Tyvek house wrap? Obviously, I think these guys are great.
Description of Work: 1900 Victorian home in Victorian Village. Box gutters gushing rain off the front porch (15-20 feet) and off the side of the house (approx.35 feet). Old drain box on the back breakfast room (an addition to the original house) leaking and causing shiplap siding to warp and rot. Top of sidewall on the second floor deck rotted, creating water damage and rot on the shiplap siding on that side of the breakfast room as well. I needed these issues addressed both for the general well-being of the house and with the possibility of putting the house on the market in the near future.

It turned out fantastic. The service was really exceptional. The project won a national award and the designer who was in charge of the project was excellent. He is no longer with the company and for that reason we would check out this company and others for future projects. The work 5 years later is still great. We have had a couple issues in that time and they have been great about coming out and repairing anything needed. Overall the experience was excellent.

I have used this company 2-3 times. They did a good job over all. They came back when I called back. There were a couple of things that I had questions about and they said that they will look at it. There was a problem with one nail which they could not handle right then, but they came back to fix it the very next day. The pricing was very good. They did some extra stuff in terms of the quality. They got in touch very quickly, but then due to the weather and so forth, they came three or four weeks later because they had other work lined up, but they called and said when they would be coming. I had a couple of questions and they came right back. They were professional; there still were a couple of nails in the yard, which I don’t think they could get off, but I am still happy with the service.

The remodeling experience with NJW was outstanding. Joel provided us with a timeline that stated when the work would begin, listed each stage of the construction, and an estimated completion date. Once the construction began his crew was there every day working on our kitchen and bathroom. They arrived on time and completed each stage of our kitchen and other work as stated in the timeline. The guys in his crew were so polite and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with the completed work. The subcontractors he hired to complete the electrical, plumbing and flooring were also great. The materials they used for our kitchen and bath remodel were quality materials and we are so pleased with the results of their work. We were completely satisfied with all of their work and would highly recommend them to other people looking for a company to do remodeling. We would definitely hire them again!
Description of Work: We hired NJW Construction to remodel our kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and foyer. Our kitchen and half bath needed a complete remodel - it was a 1970s kitchen and bath. They tore out the old cabinets, countertops, drywall etc. Joel helped us design our new kitchen and bath. They removed the sofits in our kitchen and installed new recessed lighting. Also they installed new drywall, maple cabinets, sinks, toilet, vanity, granite counters, and hardwood floors. The finished product was beautiful. They did an outstanding job!

Please see above. I will never use or refer them again.
Description of Work: I had a partial kitchen remoldel. I called NJW because I used their services previously. They built a multi-car garage for me. I live in an old house that was built in the 1870's. The finish carpenters found this frustrating (nothing is square in a historic home). They ran a nail gun through the side of one of my custom cabinets. They then reduced the cost of my bill to "repair" my cabinet. The workers then attempted to move my new side by side fridge in without enough help, and put multiple dents in the fridge. They hit the fridge on the door frame multiple times. They again reduced the cost of my bill. My husband and I are prefectionists. Their work did not make us happy and we will never use or refer their services again.

We did remove the member's cabinets and reinstall them in their kitchen, the cabinets were poorly constructed and we did have to finish nail them to reassemble to be reinstalled and while we had some problems we addressed them with the members and I thought we had made them satisfied with the project. We due try to go above and beyond and they agreed to the compensation by us reducing the price. I am sorry to read this poor review and would have addressed the project in any way while there to make them happy. I question why they invited us back to price an outdoor entertainment area after this project was completed. We did not win the project and it was built by another contractor but we did provide a price for the project. We did enjoy working for the member's and hopefully we can gain their confidence in the future. Joel Walter Owner/President
We've used them quite a few times and we like them a bunch. They have done great work for us. They did it quickly and they cleaned up after themselves. We would recommend them to anyone and I have recommended him to a friend that was also very pleased with them. They do a great job. Their prices are reasonable and at least comparable with anything that I have seen locally.
Description of Work: We used NJW Construction to retile the bathroom. My wife wanted a custom counter in the bathroom and they not only found a subcontractor to built the counter, but then they took the formica that she had purchased and installed it together with a sink. They hooked up the plumbing. They also repaired the floor in what was my son's bedroom. They also patched and repaired some cracks in the living room ceiling. They also sealed a leak in the chimney that has caused the cracks.

He was really good and he did a fabulous job. We live in a very old house and the kitchen was really in need of repairs. The kitchen had a tallow window which wouldn?t last forever. When he started this work he realized that he had to excavate the whole kitchen. That was not a part of his estimate. He did the job and he was beyond my expectations. He did the work in the kitchen and the family room. He did a really good job. After that we called him when even there was a problem and he fixed it. His estimate was the lowest. We looked at many contractors and he had the best price. Our architect recommended him to us.
