Planning a project in Demarest
Resolve the property questions before the room details.
A preferred floor plan is only one part of an addition. The survey, existing improvements, access and required professional work shape what can be built. A first conversation is most useful when those unknowns are identified openly.
Bring the survey, existing plans and records of previous additions if available. Mark the area you want to change and nearby outdoor improvements. Ask the appropriate professionals and Borough staff what additional information is needed; a contractor visit alone does not establish zoning compliance or structural feasibility.
02
Make the design responsibilities explicit.
Identify who will prepare drawings, engineering and any required property documentation. Clarify which professional services and approval fees are included in a construction proposal and which are separate. If you already have plans, share the current version and any open review comments.
03
Compare expansion with targeted changes.
Sometimes the first question is whether a kitchen layout, bathroom arrangement or better outdoor connection would solve the main problem. Discuss those options alongside an addition rather than committing to extra floor area too early. For a deck, include its size, stairs and connection to the house in the property review.

Four ways to improve your Demarest home.
01
Home additions & extensions
When your home needs more room, start by defining what that space needs to do. Contact R&R Contractors to discuss a home addition or extension in Bergen County or nearby North Jersey and the space your household needs. Existing drawings, site information and your priorities make the initial conversation more useful.
A kitchen renovation starts with how you use the room. R&R Contractors works with homeowners in Bergen County and nearby North Jersey towns on kitchen remodeling projects, from updates within an existing layout to a broader renovation. Tell us what is working, what needs to change, and the budget you have in mind.
A bathroom should work comfortably every day, with careful attention to the surfaces and systems behind the finishes. R&R Contractors takes on bathroom renovations in Bergen County and selected nearby NJ towns. Share whether you are updating an existing bathroom, changing its layout, or planning a larger renovation.
A deck project may involve a targeted repair, new surface materials or a more extensive rebuild. Contact R&R Contractors to discuss your North Jersey deck, what you want to improve, and any concerns about its current condition. An assessment helps separate cosmetic updates from work that may involve the underlying structure.
Do we need completed drawings before contacting R&R?
No. An early conversation can identify the goals and missing information. A reliable construction scope may still require drawings, engineering or approvals before pricing and scheduling can be finalized.
Can R&R guarantee an addition will be approved?
Approval depends on the property, proposed work and reviewing authorities. R&R can discuss construction and permit coordination, but feasibility and any separate professional services must be clarified for the particular project.
Who handles permits and the other trades?
R&R handles permits and coordinates the plumbing and electrical work required by the agreed project. Clarify any drawings, engineering, professional services, fees and inspections in the written scope.
How do we get a price for the work?
Share your project, town, timing and priorities. R&R will follow up to discuss the work and arrange a free in-home consultation. A useful estimate depends on the existing conditions and the scope, rather than a single price for every home.
