Services
What NJ General Remodeling does
01 — Kitchens
Kitchens
Full kitchen remodels, including layout changes that move walls rather than working around them. Cabinetry, islands, appliances and finish carpentry handled by the same crew that opens the floor.
Generally starts around $60,000. Not a fit for countertop-only or cabinet refacing work.
Kitchen remodeling in Monmouth County02 — Bathrooms
Bathrooms
Primary baths and full gut renovations — waterproofing, tile, glass and fixtures, with the plumbing reworked where the layout calls for it rather than preserved out of convenience.
Generally starts around $30,000. Single-room tile patching and fixture swaps are not taken on.
Bathroom remodeling in Monmouth County03 — Whole-home
Whole-home & full-gut
Houses taken back to the studs and rebuilt — structure, wiring, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim and every finished room. The scope most often bought by families who just closed on an older Monmouth County house.
Generally starts around $150,000. Typically 1950s–1970s housing stock.
Whole-home and full-gut renovation in Monmouth County04 — Outdoor
Decks & outdoor living
Decks, sunrooms and three-season spaces built to the same standard as the inside of the house — framing, custom interior trim, lighting and the electrical to make the room usable year-round.
Generally starts around $35,000.
Decks and outdoor living in Monmouth County05 — Basements
Basements
Basement conversions into genuine living space — in-law suites, family rooms and full build-outs, with moisture, egress and ceiling height dealt with before framing starts.
Projects start at $25,000.
Basement finishing in Monmouth CountyOne recent project
A sunroom addition and a full kitchen, at the same time, with the family living in the house
Two major scopes ran simultaneously on one Monmouth County home: a sunroom addition on the back of the house and a complete kitchen remodel. The family stayed in the house for all of it, including an elderly parent in the in-law suite. The crew sequenced the work so there was a functional kitchen throughout and the main living areas were never all inaccessible at once, and the project manager kept the full schedule in a shared document updated every Friday. The finished sunroom has floor-to-ceiling windows on three walls with custom wood interior framing painted to match the existing trim; the kitchen was built around a ten-foot island with professional-grade appliances.

Why the three months go differently
Every renovation is sold on the finished house. This is about the part in between.
Your Tuesday isn't negotiable against their next job
A crew booked somewhere else next week has one incentive: gut everything on day one and come back when it suits them. NJ General Remodeling's crews are their own and work this county only, so the sequence gets built around your house instead of their calendar. One family ran a kitchen remodel and a sunroom addition at the same time and wrote afterward that they always had a working kitchen and their main living areas were never all inaccessible at once.
There's no salesman between you and the man responsible
Artie walks every project himself before a number exists. A real-estate investor who has run multiple properties through the company called him very hands-on and easy to deal with — and noted that is not what you usually get in this business.
Bad news arrives with options and a price, not a change order
Open a Monmouth house built in the fifties and you find outdated wiring, bad insulation and structure that has to be dealt with before anything cosmetic. A homeowner who went through exactly that wrote that the crew never rushed it and never covered anything up — they showed what they found, explained why it mattered, and priced the options before moving on.
How it goes
From first call to finished house
Booking is deliberately slower than a lead-chasing contractor's, because the walkthrough is done by the owner rather than a salesperson.
Book a walkthrough with ArtieThe call
Scope, rough budget and where the house is. Monmouth County only, and projects start at $25,000 — if it is not a fit you will be told then, not after someone has driven out.
The walkthrough
Booked roughly two days out, afternoons and evenings, when you are actually home. Artie walks the house with you. Everyone making the decision should be there.
Scope and design
The project is drawn and specified, with a design team brought in where the layout is genuinely changing rather than being refreshed.
The written schedule
The project manager maps the sequence in a shared document and updates it weekly. When something slips — and on a renovation something does — it comes with a revised plan rather than an excuse.
The build
One crew, start to finish. Daily cleanup; the sequencing is planned so that families living in the house keep a working kitchen and their main rooms for as much of it as possible.
Walkthrough and finish
The punch list is closed out by the same crew that did the work.
Before you call
Is this a fit?
Worth knowing now rather than three phone calls from now.
This is for you if
- The project starts at $25,000 — baths generally from $30,000, kitchens from $60,000, decks and outdoor living from $35,000, whole-home and full-gut renovations from $150,000.
- The house is in Monmouth County. Work outside the county is not taken on.
- You want the layout genuinely changed, not refreshed — walls moved, plumbing reworked, the house taken back to the studs where it needs to be.
- You are not shopping for the cheapest number. These crews are not the cheap option and you will be told so on the phone.
What the walkthrough commits you to
- Nothing. It is free, and it is Artie — not a salesman working on commission.
- If the project is not a fit, you hear that on the phone, before anyone drives out to you.
- It is booked around you: afternoons and evenings, when you are actually home.
- Drawings and design are paid work here, not a bid-winning giveaway — which is why the plan you get is the plan that gets built.

“We bought a home in Monmouth County that was built in the 1950s, and from the beginning we knew this was not going to be a simple renovation.

Questions
What people ask before they call
What does a remodel with NJ General Remodeling cost?
Projects start at $25,000. Bathrooms generally start around $30,000, kitchens around $60,000, decks and outdoor living around $35,000, and whole-home or full-gut renovations around $150,000. Those are starting points rather than quotes — the number for your house comes after Artie has walked it.
What areas do you cover?
Monmouth County, New Jersey only. The primary area is Rumson, Colts Neck, Fair Haven, Little Silver and Holmdel, and projects are taken across Marlboro, Freehold, Manalapan, Englishtown, Middletown, Howell, Red Bank, Wall Township, Hazlet, Matawan, Farmingdale and Tinton Falls. Work outside Monmouth County is not taken on.
Who actually does the work?
NJ General Remodeling's own in-house crews — never subcontractors. Monmouth Remodeling Pros is their marketing partner and does not perform construction work.
How soon can someone come look at the project?
Walkthroughs are generally booked about two days out, in the afternoon or evening. Mornings are spent on job sites. Everyone involved in the decision should be at the walkthrough.
Can we stay in the house during the renovation?
Usually, and the sequence is planned for it. On one Monmouth County job a sunroom addition and a full kitchen remodel ran at the same time with the family in residence and an elderly parent in the in-law suite; the homeowner wrote that there was a functional kitchen throughout and the main living areas were never all inaccessible at once. Whether it works on your house is one of the things Artie assesses at the walkthrough.
Do you take on small jobs or repairs?
No. Handyman work, small repairs, single-room painting, flooring-only jobs, cabinet refacing and countertop-only work all fall outside what these crews are set up for. The focus is full kitchen, bath, outdoor and whole-home renovations starting at $25,000 — the continuity that makes the scheduling work does not pencil on jobs smaller than that.
Do you provide free drawings or plans?
No — and that is deliberate. Drawings and design are paid work here rather than something produced free to win a bid, which is why the plan you get is the plan that gets built. A design team is brought in where the layout is genuinely changing.
What happens when you find a problem once the walls are open?
You are shown what was found and why it matters, and given priced options before the work moves on. On older Monmouth County homes this is routine rather than exceptional — outdated wiring, inadequate insulation and structural issues are common in houses of that age.
