Planning a project in Franklin Lakes
Plan the doorway, the deck and the new room together.
An addition or outdoor project changes the relationship between the house and the yard. Door positions, levels, stairs and work access deserve attention early, alongside the survey and any required professional design. The right starting point is the whole connection, not the decking color alone.
Photograph the interior door, threshold, deck or landing, stairs and adjoining ground. Describe who uses that route and how it should improve. A changed opening, stair position or level can expand the work beyond a surface replacement and should be scoped before materials are selected.
02
Assess what can remain.
For a deck, point out movement, soft boards, loose rails and signs of water at the house. Compare repair, resurfacing and replacement based on accessible conditions and any further investigation needed. For an addition, bring the survey and identify its intended connection to existing rooms and exterior finishes.
03
Coordinate outdoor work with interior improvements.
If a kitchen or bathroom is part of the project, discuss utility work and when the occupied house will be opened to construction. Include material storage, debris removal and protected routes through the property. Clarify site, design and approval responsibilities before agreeing on the sequence.

Four ways to improve your Franklin Lakes 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 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.
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.
Should the deck be designed before the addition is finalized?
Consider them together if they share doors, exterior walls, levels or access. Resolve those connections during design so the deck does not need to be altered to accommodate a later decision.
Can new decking go over the existing structure?
Only where the existing structure and connections are suitable for the proposed work. A consultation can discuss visible conditions, but hidden deterioration or structural design requirements may change the repair or replacement recommendation.
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.
