Bergen County, NJ
General Contractor in Englewood, NJ
A licensed and insured general contractor for Englewood homeowners — kitchen and bath remodels, roofing, siding, additions, and full renovations, run by one team from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.
Why Englewood Homeowners Choose Nuvista
Englewood is really two markets in one city — the stately East Hill, with its large historic homes and estates, and the denser downtown and Fourth Ward neighborhoods of older colonials and two-families. We renovate across both, from high-end whole-home projects to practical kitchen and bath updates.
That kind of work needs a general contractor who can rework a floor plan, pull the permits, and run every trade — not a single crew you have to babysit. Nuvista is run by Roberto Bolanos, who has spent more than a decade renovating homes across northern New Jersey. You deal with our team start to finish.

- One team from the first estimate to the final walkthrough

- We handle high-end East Hill renovations and older-home updates alike
Local Knowledge
Renovating a Home in Englewood
On the East Hill you’ll find some of Bergen County’s most substantial older homes — center-hall colonials, Tudors, and estate properties where quality of finish and respect for the original architecture matter. Elsewhere in the city, the housing is older and denser, with two-families and colonials that need modernized kitchens, baths, and systems.
Everything runs through the City of Englewood Building Department, and larger or historic properties often get a closer review. We file the permits, schedule inspections, and manage any corrections so the project keeps moving.
An Englewood specific: East Hill renovations are high-value and detail-driven, where matching existing millwork, masonry, and rooflines is the whole job. We plan that level of finish work up front rather than improvising it on site.
From the East Hill to the neighborhoods around Palisade Avenue, we take on primary-suite and family-room additions, high-end kitchen and bath remodels, and full restorations on Englewood’s wide range of housing.
What To Expect
Timelines, Permits & Inspections in Englewood
Here’s how a renovation in Englewood actually runs — from filing to final walkthrough.
Typical Timeline
A bathroom in Englewood takes a few weeks, a full kitchen six to ten, and a large East Hill renovation or addition several months. On older and higher-end homes we allow time for the detail and finish work these projects demand.
Permits & Filing
Most work needs a permit from the City of Englewood Building Department. Larger or historic East Hill properties can draw a closer review, which we plan for so filing doesn’t hold up your start.
Inspections
Your project passes framing, rough electrical and plumbing, insulation, and final inspections through the city. We schedule each and manage corrections so nothing stalls.
What to Expect
One point of contact, meticulous dust protection, and daily cleanup — the level of care a high-value Englewood home deserves, with clear updates at every stage.

Questions
General Contracting in Englewood — FAQ
Do I need a permit for a home renovation in Englewood?
Most renovations do. The City of Englewood Building Department requires permits for structural work, additions, and kitchen or bathroom remodels involving plumbing or electrical, plus roofing. We handle the filings and inspections for you.
What's the difference between a general contractor and a regular contractor?
A general contractor runs the whole project — planning, permits, scheduling, and every trade — under one contract, so you have one point of responsibility. A single-trade contractor handles just one piece, like roofing or tile, and leaves you to coordinate the rest.
Is it normal to pay a contractor 50% upfront?
No. A big upfront payment is a red flag. Reputable New Jersey contractors use a staged schedule tied to project milestones, with a reasonable deposit to lock in materials and scheduling. We walk you through ours before any work starts.
Do you do high-end renovations on Englewood's East Hill?
Yes. We specialize in the detail-heavy work larger East Hill homes require — matching original millwork and masonry, primary-suite additions, and full kitchen and bath remodels finished to the standard these homes deserve.
