We called several contractors and fortunately, we chose Johansen. In our first phone call, John laughed that once you worked with him, you never let him go, and after this project I completely understand. The work was done well and quickly. We have two small children and the workers went to great lengths to keep a safe distance, wore their masks, and we all felt very safe while the work progressed. We were kept in the loop, given good advice, and the end result is a beautiful and glamorous bathroom that my mom really loves. We will absolutely be calling them again! **★★★★★ — L Foster, April 2020** > To say that we needed our garage repaired is an understatement. After years of being on the receiving end of rushing rainwater courtesy of a serious slope, the structure was on a hard lean. Plus there was ivy infiltrating the back wall, roots disrupting the slab, and a tree trunk pushing through the foundation. Yeah. That bad. > > When John saw it to give an estimate, he didn't run. He fully explained all the ways he could help - including pouring a slab and adding an irrigation system. He quoted a price that was fair. And most importantly, when it came down to it he delivered. Even when an unexpected setback threatened to derail the project, he was on site immediately providing solutions and getting construction back on track - and ahead of schedule. > > But it doesn't stop there. John was always easy to reach and got back to me right away if I had any questions - although usually he had explained everything to me so thoroughly I didn't need to ask. Plus, he was at my house most days just to make sure his guys were getting the job done right. > > For him, it was never "just a garage". It was providing the best service possible. This guy knows his stuff. And he's one of the honest contractors out there, which is saying a lot if you've ever had to hunt. But don't just take my word for it. Take a look at the before and afters and see for yourself. **★★★★★ — Karen Buzzi, Nov. 2019** > We have used John and his team over the last few years from anything to flooring, drywall repair, water damage and everything in between. He responds quickly, is on time, incredibly honest, does flawless work, and above all, trustworthy. I have always felt comfortable leaving my keys with him and letting him come and go as he pleases. He has an unbelievable wealth of knowledge and has saved us thousands of dollars with his recommendations. His relationships with other quality trades are unmatched. I have been very impressed with all of his referrals and will always recommend him to my friends and family. **★★★★★ — Harrison K, Nov. 2018** > John and his crew are meticulously detail-oriented and perform the highest level of work. Our project was a full home renovation including 6 bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, full living space basement, including the moving and addition of bathroom spaces. John is always a pleasure to deal with and is prompt and punctual with his deadlines. He did not fail to disappoint with this project and we would use him again 100x over! **★★★★★ — stephanie huang, Jan. 2018** > when you purchase an 113 year old home, you need to have a trusted contractor to work on the nuances, big and small. John and his merry crew of men were just what the project needed. John is incredibly knowledge of older homes and all of its possible issues. For us, it was comforting to be undertaking such a major renovation and knowing someone with his experiences was at the helm. The crew had amazing attention to detail, and always cleaned up impeccably after each work day. they made a three months long renovation in which we lived in the house bearable and worked around us every step of the way. the results were absolutely amazing and we've been recommending John and his crew to anyone who has the need for a contractor. **Comment from Johansen General Contracting:** > Thank you Stephanie for the opportunity to work for you and I sincerely appreciate the amazing review. ## Selected projects - [Our Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/our-work-pj-vj~2968649) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 75 - [Roseland, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roseland-nj-pj-vj~3131644) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Englewood, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/englewood-nj-pj-vj~6575142) - Location: Englewood, NJ - Photos: 8 - [Rockledge Addition Rebuild](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rockledge-addition-rebuild-pj-vj~6543125) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Bathroom Renovation Little Ferry, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-renovation-little-ferry-nj-pj-vj~6017399) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/johansen-general-contracting-pfvwus-pf~346459377) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
