A thoughtful start matters

Before you hire,
know what to ask.

A good conversation starts with clear expectations. Keep these three things on your list.

General homeowner information. Rules can change; check with your town’s construction office and NJ Consumer Affairs.

01

Check NJ registration

Home improvement contractors in New Jersey are registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs. Check their registration and ask about insurance.

Talk permits early

Most basement finishing needs a construction permit. Ask your town’s construction office what applies and agree on who handles permits and inspections.

See NJ construction permit rules ↗
03

Put the details in writing

Ask for a written contract covering scope, materials, schedule, payment, and any warranties. Make sure changes are documented too.
