What We Build

Home Improvement Services in Bergen County, NJ

Eight trades, one contractor, one number to call. We frame it, rock it, trim it and paint it ourselves — so you're not chasing five different crews to get one room finished, and nobody gets to blame the guy who came before them.

01
Renovated kitchen with a wood-topped island and custom cabinetry

Kitchens

From a cabinet-and-counter refresh to taking a wall down and reworking the whole layout. We coordinate the plumber and electrician so nothing stalls waiting on a trade.

  • Custom & semi-custom cabinetry
  • Quartz, granite and butcher block tops
  • Tile backsplash, flooring, recessed lighting
  • Island builds and load-bearing wall openings
02
Carpenters cutting trim on a miter saw during an interior renovation

Renovations

Whole-room and whole-floor renovations run by one crew. Demolition, framing, drywall, flooring, trim and paint sequenced so the job never sits waiting on somebody else.

  • Full gut and rebuild of any room
  • Hardwood, LVP and tile flooring
  • Crown molding, doors and built-ins
  • Layout changes and wall removals
03
Backyard wood deck with railings, dining table and grill

Decks

Composite or pressure-treated, new build or a rebuild on failing framing. Permitted, inspected and engineered to hold up under snow load and a full party.

  • Composite and PT lumber decking
  • Railings, stairs, privacy walls and pergolas
  • Footings and framing built to NJ code
  • Front porch rebuilds and column work
04
Two-story home with new lap siding, front porch and attached garage

Siding

The exterior takes the worst of a New Jersey winter. New siding goes on over a proper house wrap with the flashing details done right, not caulked over and hoped for.

  • Vinyl, fiber cement and cedar siding
  • House wrap, flashing and trim details
  • Soffit, fascia, gutters and leaders
  • Storm and rot repair before re-siding
05
Newly installed double-hung window set into vinyl siding

Windows & Installation

Replacement and new-construction windows and doors, measured on site and installed square, insulated and flashed so the draft and the water both stay outside.

  • Double-hung, casement, bay and picture windows
  • Full-frame and insert replacements
  • Entry, patio and sliding door installs
  • Trim, capping and interior finish included
06
Wood roof rafters and stud walls on a framed addition

Framing

Rough carpentry that the rest of the job depends on. Walls, floors, rafters and headers cut and set plumb, level and to plan — because nothing after this can fix it.

  • Wall, floor and roof framing
  • Load-bearing openings and headers
  • Structural repairs and sistering
  • Additions, dormers and garage conversions
07
Taping knife spreading joint compound over a drywall seam

Sheet Rock

Hanging, taping and finishing done to a level that disappears under paint. No telegraphed seams, no sanded-through corners, no bumps that only show up when the sun hits the wall.

  • Hanging, taping and three-coat finishing
  • Skim coating and Level 5 finishes
  • Ceiling repair, patches and water damage
  • Moisture and fire-rated board where required
08
Painter rolling a fresh coat of paint onto an interior wall

Painting

Prep is the job. Walls patched, caulked and primed before a finish coat goes on, floors and fixtures covered, and lines cut by hand instead of hidden behind tape.

  • Interior walls, ceilings and trim
  • Exterior siding, trim and porches
  • Patching, caulking and priming first
  • Cabinet and door refinishing
How It Works

Four Steps. No Surprises.

The reason renovations go bad is almost never the carpentry — it's the communication. Here is exactly how a project with us runs, start to finish.

01

Walkthrough & Free Estimate

We come out, measure, and talk through what you actually want. You get a written line-item estimate — labor, materials and permits broken out separately.

02

Scope, Schedule & Permits

We lock the scope in writing, give you a start and finish date, and file the permits with your town's construction office before anyone swings a hammer.

03

Build With Daily Cleanup

Dust barriers up, floors protected, and the site swept at the end of every day. You get a progress update and a photo whenever a stage closes out.

04

Punch List & Warranty

We walk the finished job with you and fix the punch list before we invoice the balance. Labor warranty in writing, material warranties registered in your name.

Why Ace Cruz

A Contractor Who Actually Shows Up

Every homeowner in Bergen County has the same story: the guy who ghosted after the deposit, the crew that left the job 90% done, the "verbal estimate" that doubled. We built this company around not being that. Everything is in writing, and the same people who quote your job are the ones on site building it.

  • Written, Itemized Estimates

    You see the cost of labor, materials and permits separately. No lump-sum number you have to take on faith, and no change orders that appear out of nowhere.

  • Licensed, Insured, Permitted

    NJ home improvement contractor registration, general liability and workers comp — certificate provided with every estimate. We file the permits and meet the inspector ourselves.

  • One Crew, Start to Finish

    Your job isn't handed off to whichever sub is available that week. The same team runs it from demolition to the final coat of paint, and you always know who's showing up.

  • Built For North Jersey Homes

    Century-old colonials, split-levels, two-families and Hudson County row homes. We know what's behind the plaster around here and price for it instead of discovering it mid-job.

  • Clean Site, Every Day

    Floor protection, dust containment and a swept job site at the end of each workday. You're living in the house while we work — we treat it that way.

Questions

Before You Hire Anyone

Do you give free estimates?
Yes. We walk the job with you, measure, and send a written line-item estimate at no charge. The estimate breaks out labor, materials and permit costs so you can see exactly what you're paying for before you commit to anything.
Are you licensed and insured in New Jersey?
Yes. Ace Cruz Home Improvement LLC is a registered New Jersey home improvement contractor and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We provide our NJ HIC registration number and a current certificate of insurance with every estimate — ask any contractor for both before you sign.
Do you pull the permits?
We handle permits and inspections for any work that requires them, including kitchens, decks, additions, structural framing, window openings and finished basements. We file with your town's construction office, schedule the inspections and see the job through to final approval. Unpermitted work is a problem you inherit at resale — we don't do it that way.
What towns in New Jersey do you serve?
We work throughout Bergen and Hudson County and much of Northern New Jersey, including Hackensack, Paramus, Fair Lawn, Teaneck, Bergenfield, Fort Lee, Englewood, Ridgewood, Garfield, Lodi, Cliffside Park, North Bergen, Secaucus and Clifton.
How long does a kitchen remodel or full renovation take?
A full kitchen usually runs four to six weeks depending on cabinet lead times and whether plumbing or electrical is being moved. A single-room renovation is typically two to three weeks, and interior painting or sheet rock work on its own is usually a matter of days. We give you a written schedule with the estimate and tell you up front what could shift it.
Can I live in the house during the work?
In most cases, yes. We seal off the work area with dust barriers, protect floors and walkways, keep the rooms you need usable when we can, and clean the site at the end of every workday. For a kitchen or a single-bathroom home we sequence the demolition and finish work so the downtime is as short as possible.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes. All of our labor is warrantied in writing, and manufacturer warranties on materials such as siding, windows and composite decking are registered in your name. If something we installed fails within the warranty period, we come back and fix it.
How do payments work?
We work on a written contract with a deposit and progress payments tied to completed stages — never a large payment for work that hasn't happened yet. The final balance isn't due until the punch list is closed out and you've signed off on the walkthrough.
