About Us

Glendale Ridge is a full-service residential construction & design company focusing on Northern New Jersey. We work with current & prospective homeowners who want to renovate or expand. Our services are tailored to bring your dream home to life, no matter what point you’re starting from. We find property, create architectural & design plans, support on financing, and handle all project management.

With 25 years of experience in the business, we understand the importance of offering reliable & professional service. We consistently deliver thoughtful design, quality & value in our projects. We also buy & renovate homes ourselves, so we understand how to make the end-to-end process run smoothly.

Experience the difference

We combine design & craftsmanship with effective processes to deliver consistent results for our clients

Thoughtful Design

We make interior & exterior design choices as we lay out the floor plans for a cohesive look & flow. Realistic renderings ensure we all share the same vision of the finished product.

Quality Craftsmanship

We understand that customer satisfaction is everything and stand by our work. We hand-pick craftsmen who are the best in their trades and committed to our approach.

Consistent Results

Industry leading project management creates visibility and keeps our team & clients up to date. Our completed houses typically appraise higher than the purchase price + construction costs.

Stay on Track

Technology & sound processes provide visibility throughout the project

Timeline

We start with highly detailed & customized project templates to ensure all required tasks are included, sequenced, and budgeted on each project. Job phases and dependencies help us accurately project milestones & stay on schedule.

To-Dos & Daily Logs

To-Do lists for each job are tailored to the renovation plan & requirements. Specialty contractors & project managers provide Daily Logs to ensure regular communication. Homeowners can also login to see job progress.

Budget

An overall project budget guides all project expenses & provides visibility. We closely monitor spending with dashboards that reflect estimates, bids & purchase orders. Any change orders are also billed through the system to the homeowner.

Benefit from our expertise

Our experience buying, renovating & selling homes means we can help you unlock value in your own renovation project.

Construction Loans

For large renovations or additions, we support with lender requirements on construction loans. We work with several preferred lenders who specialize in originating purchase + construction loans.

Off-Market Properties

We work with brokers to approach owners directly to buy houses that are not currently listed for sale. This means our clients have access to opportunities that are not available anywhere else.

Resale Value

We evaluate client projects the same way we would our investments... with an eye towards increasing resale value. We target desirable neighborhoods and find properties with untapped potential.
