Why Maywood Homeowners Choose Nuvista
Maywood is a small, tight-knit borough of well-kept postwar homes — Capes, colonials, and ranches on tidy lots near the Hackensack River. It’s classic small-suburb housing, and most of it is ready for updated kitchens, baths, and systems.
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.

Local Knowledge
Renovating a Home in Maywood
Most of Maywood’s homes date to the postwar decades — Capes, colonials, and ranches on compact lots, many close to their original layouts. The common projects here are opening up dated kitchens, modernizing bathrooms, finishing basements, and dormering or adding onto homes for more space.
Every project runs through the Borough of Maywood Building Department for permits and inspections on structural work, additions, and remodels touching plumbing or electrical. We handle the filings and scheduling.
A Maywood specific: many of these Capes have low or unfinished upstairs space, so a dormer or second-story expansion is the highest-value way to add room. We engineer and permit it so it looks original to the house.
Throughout Maywood’s residential streets, we handle kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, dormers and additions, and whole-home updates on the borough’s mid-century housing.
What To Expect
Timelines, Permits & Inspections in Maywood
Here’s how a renovation in Maywood actually runs — from filing to final walkthrough.
Typical Timeline
A bathroom in Maywood runs a few weeks, a full kitchen six to ten, and a Cape dormer or addition several months. On postwar homes we build in time for the structural work that comes with expanding.
Permits & Filing
Most projects need a permit from the Borough of Maywood Building Department. A dormer or second-story expansion gets a closer structural review, which we plan for and file up front.
Inspections
Your project passes framing, rough electrical and plumbing, insulation, and final inspections through the borough. We schedule each one and handle any corrections.
What to Expect
One point of contact, dust protection, and daily cleanup, with clear communication so you always know what’s next and when the next inspection is scheduled.

Questions
General Contracting in Maywood — FAQ
Do I need a permit for a home renovation in Maywood?
Most renovations do. The Borough of Maywood Building Department requires permits for structural work, additions, and kitchen or bathroom remodels involving plumbing or electrical, plus roofing. We file the permits and schedule inspections.
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.
Can you add a dormer or second story to a Cape in Maywood?
Yes — it’s one of the best ways to add space in the borough. We engineer and permit the expansion and build it to match the existing home so the new space looks like it was always there.
