We recently completed a new master suite [bedroom, bath, laundry, closets, pantry and second stair case - approximately 735 sq. ft] in our home in Lebanon, NJ. Based on strong recommendation, we contracted Ridge Builders of Califon, NJ - and that was the Best Decision Ever! Frank McCloskey and son Nate delivered on every point that's important in a project of this scope (this is our 5th addition so we know whereof we speak). First, communication was impeccable - Frank unfailingly called when he said he would, kept us in the loop through the permit process, and as work progressed let us know who and what to expect. He was on time for every meeting! Any questions, concerns, or suggestions we might have were professionally (and good naturedly) heard and addressed. Frank orchestrated an array of subcontractors who were all as competent and easy to have around as he and Nate. (Not incidentally, we really appreciated how everyone kept the work site neat and safe.) The project made progress every day. As testimony to the skills of these craftsmen, in a township infamous for tough inspections, every single inspection passed the first time. The savings in time are obvious!The result: a project that came in on budget and a week early! And looks wonderful! They earned our trust and confidence from day one through. Frank and Nate are the real deal - incredible work ethic, skill, humor and results - who could ask for more? We could not have hoped for a better experience and recommend Ridge without reservation. Maybe the fact that we're really going to miss these guys being here says it all.

"It's very clear: Ridge Builders was here" We cannot say enough about Ridge Builders, Frank McCloskey and his team of dedicated professionals. Frank and his team have done numerous jobs at our home in Tewksbury Twp. and will continue to be my single source home improvement provider for many years to come. In the spring of 2009, Ridge Builders began construction of our 625 Sq. Ft. pool house. We were quoted a completion date of Labor Day. Not only was the spring of 2009 the wettest on record, Ridge Builders completed the job 2 weeks in advance, and right within budget. It was the most painless process we've ever experienced. We highly reccommend Ridge Builders to anyone seeking a professional, hard working, honest, clean and relaible home improvement contractor.

We have used Ridge Builders for several projects at our home. They constructed our pool house with a large, elaborate pergola and it turned out beautifully. They are flexible, reliable and it is a pleasure to work with them. We will, without a doubt, call on Ridge Builders for our next project.

Ridge Builders have done a number of projects for us since 2002. The largest was a 28' X 30' "Ballroom" addition with a bar area, a lofted ceiling and full basement, to which he recently added a bathroom in the basement. Other projects include a 3-season "Sunroom", a major Kitchen remodeling project, a complete bathroom renovation, and the addition of sky lites in our family room, for which they raised the ceiling to the rafters. We are delighted with their craftsmanship, creativity and suggested solutions, and especially their conscientiousness. We have always found Frank to be pleasant, straightforward and easy to deal with. He returns phone calls. He comes when he said he would. He finishes projects on time. He does a good job of estimating what needs to be done ahead so that we are not hit with a lot of extra costs.

I can recommend Ridge Builders for any commercial or residential construction for the following reasons:  they are timely, within budget, excellent craftsmanship, and daily clean up.  These are all important factors.

Ridge Builders installed our upstairs windows and new front door. Frank was an invaluable source of information in regards to material choices, styles, performance, costs, and results. He set clear expectations with us, and then delivered the complete job earlier than expected. He and his crew worked efficiently, and thoroughly. They were on time, showed great courtesy, and left the job site very clean. We were impressed with Ridge Builders’ professionalism, knowledge, and the confidence with which they made their proposal. Frank’s years of experience convey a sense of confidence that is both reassuring and comforting. He knows his business well, and that shortens the early stages of a project. He knew what to recommend for our situation, and was more than willing to find the best solution within our budget and time constraints. We recommend him and his company with absolute confidence in his ability to professionally deliver his company’s services.

We highly recommend Ridge Builders. Over the past 5 years, they have made significant improvements to our home in Lebanon Township through numerous projects: replacement of all windows, a greenhouse, a deck, replacement of the front door, and most recently the construction of our unfinished basement into an office and family room. Their work has always been of excellent quality, completed in a timely manner and at a very fair price. Owner Frank McCloskey calls with project updates, arrives on time for appointments, progresses through projects without unnecessary delays, suggests cost-saving measures, and is exceptionally honest and friendly. We will undoubtedly call on Frank for the next project, and the ones after that. Frank is an outstanding contractor in whom we have great trust and confidence.
