Expert Home Additions in Metuchen, NJ

Home additions in Metuchen, NJ give you more living space without leaving a neighborhood you already love. Ideal Contracting Inc handles the full scope of addition work: room additions, second-story additions, bump-outs, and attached garage conversions. We manage planning, structural work, framing, insulation, and interior finishes from start to finish. Metuchen's housing stock is largely made up of mid-century single-family homes on modest lots. Many of these capes and ranches were built between the 1940s and 1960s, and they often lack the square footage today's families need. A well-planned addition works with your existing footprint and lot setback requirements under Borough of Metuchen zoning rules. We coordinate all required building, electrical, and plumbing permits through the Borough's Construction Code Enforcement Office so nothing falls through the cracks. If you're ready to add a primary suite, a larger kitchen, or a dedicated home office, call Ideal Contracting Inc to schedule a site visit.

We had to have our chimney repaired and Ideal Contracting could not have been more “ideal!” They were professional, flexible with my work schedule, timely, and a master of their craft. Will certainly be going to them for any future house work/enhancements!
