Custom Home Building & Renovation Services in Princeton, NJ

As with any project, we get involved early in the custom home process. We read the drawings closely and flag the things that get expensive later while they’re still cheap to change. That means a lot of conversation with you and your architect from the start.

Rob’s architecture degree helps here. He’s read plans from the other side of the table, and it shows in how our team handles detailed drawings and complicated residential work.

We take on substantial whole home remodels across Princeton, Hopewell, Lambertville, and the surrounding towns, including older and architecturally significant houses. A major remodel starts with understanding the house that's already standing.

Our crews handle structural changes, extensive interior work, new building systems, and the finish work that pulls it together. The hard part is making new work sit right next to what stays, and that's where we spend the most time. We're lead-safe certified, which matters in this area's older housing stock.

A good addition reads as part of the house. A bad one looks bolted on, and you can usually spot it from the street.

We build substantial additions throughout Princeton and the surrounding towns. Most of what makes an addition look right is invisible once it’s done: matching floor heights, tying into the existing roof, sizing the mechanicals for the new square footage, and getting trim profiles to line up with what was already there.

Our kitchen remodeling work in the Princeton area covers substantial projects, not cabinet swaps. Kitchen projects rarely stay in the kitchen: move one wall, and you're into the dining room, the circulation, the lighting plan, and sometimes the structure holding up the second floor.

These jobs get judged on finish work, which is what our carpenters are good at. They also need someone managing the sequence closely so the rest of the house stays livable while it's underway.

We’re a PHIUS Certified Builder, and we’ve worked on LEED and New Jersey Clean Energy projects. That background means we can build to a performance target and then verify we hit it, rather than assuming we did.

High-performance construction comes down to how the envelope, insulation, air sealing, windows, doors, and mechanical systems work as one system. Get that right, and you get a more comfortable house with lower bills for as long as it stands.

Alongside the residential work, we take on a limited number of commercial and mixed-use projects in New Jersey and the surrounding region.

These jobs live or die on scheduling. They need someone who can keep architects, engineers, inspectors, and trades pointed in the same direction, and who has been through code review and permitting enough times to see the problems coming.
