Contractor Recommendation for Northern New Jersey
Hi All,
Looking to make an offer on a Condo here in Bergen County NJ and wanted to see if this community had any GC recommendations. I wanted to redo the kitchen (break down one of the dry walls if the building permits it and new cabinets) and also thinking about renovating the two small bathrooms as well. Please let me know if you guys have anyone you used before and if you recommend them!
Thanks

Hi @Jonathan Y., just a quick tip about getting work done on a Condo: Check what the association requires in terms of insurance from the contractors. One of the hard things to work around condos is the fact that you to some extend are at the mercy of the association in charge of that complex. I had a client not long ago wanting to sell their condo, however, they wanted to do some updates to the kitchen and bathroom before selling.
They ended up having to cancel their project and decided to sell as is because the association required a lot from an insurance standpoint from the contractors, therefore, my client struggled to find a contractor with sufficient insurance coverage for the association to accept. This may be a good consideration when searching for a condo, as contractors will give you a bid based on the difficulty of the work, as well as the requirements needed to get the job done.
