Kitchen remodeler in Montclair, NJ

Montclair is an Essex County township where nearly 60 percent of the housing stock was built before 1940. The streets are lined with Victorian mansions, Tudor Revivals, Colonial Revivals, and Craftsman homes, particularly in the Upper Montclair and Watchung Plaza areas. Homes this old carry specific renovation challenges: plaster walls, original millwork that must be preserved, aging rooflines with complex geometry, and bathrooms that have not been updated since the mid-20th century. The township also has historic preservation guidelines that affect exterior changes on certain properties.

Montclair's Pre-War Homes Reward Patience and Precision

Victorian and Tudor homes in Montclair have rooflines that a standard roofing crew will struggle with. Multiple dormers, steep pitches, and decorative ridge details require careful planning and the right safety setup before work begins. Ice dams are a recurring problem on these rooflines because the complex geometry creates cold spots where heat escapes unevenly. We address ventilation and insulation as part of every roofing project on a home like this.

Interior painting in a pre-war Montclair home is not the same as painting a modern drywall interior. Original plaster walls have texture and imperfections that show through paint if the surface is not properly prepared. Original woodwork, including built-in bookcases, window casings, and crown molding, requires careful masking and hand-cut edges. We take the time that the work requires.

Bathroom remodels in Montclair's oldest homes often reveal subfloor rot, original cast-iron supply lines, and tile set in a thick mortar bed rather than on backer board. These conditions change the scope and the approach. We assess what is behind the walls before finalizing a plan, so the project does not expand unexpectedly once demolition begins.

Every service, available in Montclair, NJ

Roofing on Montclair's Victorian and Tudor homes involves steep pitches, multiple dormers, and complex valley systems that require precise flashing and ice-and-water shield placement. Painting, both interior and exterior, is in constant demand given the age of the housing stock and the detailed millwork that defines these homes. Bathroom remodeling is one of the most common interior projects, as original bathrooms in pre-war Montclair homes have outdated layouts, failing tile, and plumbing that needs updating. Hardwood floor refinishing is also a core service here, where original oak and maple floors run throughout homes that have been carpeted for decades.

My husband and I had a great experience working with Fahmi Home Solutions to help us with new drywall + custom closet remodel. The crew was prompt and reliable and super clean, finishing the job in just a few days. We are so happy we worked with them.

Lauren Masur Google review · May 2026

We love our new siding. Adam was so patient and answered all my questions. Everyone involved worked well together. We also love the new lighting. The neighbors like them because they cleaned up very well each day. It was great having job foreman Dave on the job everyday to coordinate and address all questions. I wish I had the opportunity to buy them lunch. I will definitely buy them lunch next time.

Hired ADAM to put an addition on top of my house and to say he killed it would be an understatement. His level of detail and ability to move the job forward with absolutely no delays was impressive. There was not a single day where he didn’t have workers there, all his trades worked hand in hand and it was a great experience from a homeowners prospective. Job done early and on budget! Highly recommend

We needed a room painted on very short notice, and Adam and his team came through for us! Great communication and timely completion. Thank you for a job well done! We’ll definitely be reaching out for future projects!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything from the craftsmanship, experience, flexibility, speed, and professionalism was top notch. My bathroom feels like a spa now. I searched around and Adam and his team provided the most bang for my buck. They were completely transparent and offered great advice throughout the entire process. I will definitely be using his services in the future!

Kitchen Remodeler FAQ for Montclair, NJ

Common questions from Montclair, NJ customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Victorian homes in Montclair have steep pitches, multiple dormers, and decorative ridge elements that add complexity to every phase of a roofing project. The valleys between dormers and the main roof are common leak points if flashing is not installed precisely. Ice dams also form more readily on these complex rooflines because heat escapes unevenly through the attic.

Yes. Original plaster walls in Montclair's older homes have a texture and character that drywall does not replicate. Proper surface preparation, including skim coating cracks and priming correctly, preserves that texture while giving the paint a surface it can bond to. Rushing the prep is what causes paint to peel or look flat on plaster.

In most cases, yes. Original oak floors in pre-war Montclair homes are typically thick enough to be sanded and refinished multiple times. We assess the thickness and condition of the boards, check for any rot or structural damage, and give you an honest answer before any work begins.

Yes. Tile installation is part of our bathroom remodeling service. For Montclair's older homes, we can work with subway tile, hex mosaic, and other period-appropriate formats that complement the home's original character. We also handle the subfloor and waterproofing work that tile requires to last.
