On the route
Fairmount · Neighborhood
Fairmount and First Ward colonials settle every freeze-thaw cycle - plaster cracks along door headers and upstairs corners are a regular stop from the shop on 1st St. We patch before paint so the fix disappears.
Downtown / Main Street · Neighborhood
New rentals on Main Street mean turnover punch lists - lock swaps, drywall patches between tenants, and fixture tune-ups. Booking the service elevator when needed is part of the job.
265 1st St area · Main roads
Emergency calls from east of Main usually get a response in under 15 minutes - the truck is parked a block off downtown when I am not on a job. Flat price on the phone before I leave the shop.
Gallery photos and reviews are from real jobs. Local notes describe neighborhoods we drive through - not a dining, shopping, or travel guide.
Transparency
Why does a job cost more or less?
Five things move the number on your quote. Jaime explains each one before you approve anything.
Scope
A one-hole drywall patch takes 45 min. A full wall section takes half a day.
Access
Standard room ceiling fan is $245. Same job on a 14-ft vaulted ceiling costs more.
Materials
All materials at cost, no markup. You can supply your own or Jaime picks them up.
Wall type
Plaster, concrete, brick, and tile all need different anchors and more time.
Discovery
If something unexpected comes up, Jaime stops and re-quotes in writing before continuing.
The Jaime guarantee
The price on your quote is the price on your invoice.
No exceptions.
No bait-and-switch. No "while I'm here" upsells. If something unexpected turns up mid-job, Jaime stops and gets your written approval before continuing. Standard on every Bergen County job.
