Everything Your Home Needs — Additions, Remodeling & More
Home & Room Addition Contractor
When your family grows or your space just stops working, moving isn't always the answer. We design and build room additions that connect seamlessly to your existing home — matching the roofline, siding, and interior flow. From a single extra room to a full wing, we handle everything from permits to the final finishes.
Second Story Additions
Adding a second story is one of the most cost-effective ways to double your living space without losing your yard. We assess your foundation and framing first, then build up with precision. Structural integrity and clean integration with your existing home are the two things we never cut corners on.
Sunroom & Covered Patio Additions
A sunroom adds usable square footage and brings natural light into your home year-round. Whether you want a fully insulated four-season room or a covered patio space, we build it to complement your home's existing style. These projects consistently deliver strong returns and daily enjoyment.
New Bedroom & Home Office Additions
Need a dedicated workspace or an extra bedroom for a growing family? We build additions that fit the way you actually live — properly insulated, wired, and finished to the same standard as the rest of your home. No shortcuts, no unfinished details.
Home Gym, Workshop & Studio Builds
Specialty rooms require a different kind of planning. We have built home gyms with reinforced flooring, workshops with dedicated electrical panels, and art studios with custom lighting and ventilation. If you have a specific vision for the space, we know how to build it the right way.
Kitchen Remodeling & Renovation
A kitchen remodel is one of the highest-return projects a homeowner can invest in. We handle full kitchen renovations — layout changes, cabinet installation, countertops, plumbing, and electrical. Our work is focused on making the space more functional for how your family actually cooks and lives.
Bathroom Remodeling & Renovation
From a simple refresh to a complete gut renovation, we handle bathroom remodels of all sizes. We coordinate tile work, plumbing, vanities, lighting, and fixtures so you get a finished bathroom without managing five different contractors.
Basement Renovation & Finishing
An unfinished basement is wasted square footage. We turn raw basement space into livable rooms — whether that is a family room, a home office, a guest suite, or a play area. We handle framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, and electrical so the finished space is comfortable and code-compliant.
Full Home Renovation & Interior Remodeling
A well-built deck extends your living space and adds real value to your home. We design and build custom decks — covered or open-air — that are built to handle New Jersey's weather year after year. Every deck we build is permitted, properly fastened, and finished to match your home's exterior.
Custom Deck Design & Installation
Worn hardwood floors can look new again without a full replacement. We strip, sand, and refinish hardwood floors throughout the home — removing scratches, stains, and years of wear. The result is a clean, smooth finish that can completely change how a room looks and feels.
Hardwood Floor Stripping & Refinishing
Some homes need more than one room updated. We take on full interior renovation projects — coordinating every trade and every detail from start to finish. If you want to update your home without the chaos of managing multiple contractors, this is the service for you.
Exterior & Structural Home Improvements
From structural repairs to exterior improvements, we handle the work that keeps your home sound and looking sharp. We address issues that affect the integrity and appearance of the home before they become bigger problems.

Who We Are
A Team Committed to Excellence
Built From the Ground Up
Independent Renovations started as a straightforward idea — homeowners in Woodbridge and Edison deserved a contractor who showed up, did quality work, and stood behind it. Joseph Avarello built this company on that principle over 25 years ago. Every addition, remodel, and renovation since then has been a direct result of word-of-mouth from customers who got exactly what they were promised.
Additions Are Our Specialty
Most contractors dabble in additions. We focus on them. Second-story builds, new bedrooms, sunrooms, home gyms — this is the work we do every week in Fords, South Plainfield, and across Middlesex County. That kind of focused experience means fewer surprises, smoother timelines, and a finished product that actually blends with your existing home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How much does a home addition cost in Woodbridge, NJ?
The cost of a home addition in Woodbridge depends on the size, type, and complexity of the project. A basic room addition typically starts around $80,000–$100,000, while second-story additions can run higher depending on the scope. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a free on-site estimate — that way we can look at your existing structure and give you a real figure, not a guess.
How long does a second story addition take to complete?
A second-story addition in New Jersey typically takes three to six months from permit approval to final walkthrough, depending on the size and complexity. Permitting alone can take several weeks in Middlesex County, so it is important to plan ahead. We walk you through the full timeline before any work begins so you know what to expect at every stage.
Do you handle permits for home additions in Woodbridge, NJ?
Yes, we manage the permit process for every project we take on. Home additions in Woodbridge Township and surrounding municipalities require building permits, and skipping that step creates serious problems when you go to sell. We know the local requirements and handle the paperwork so you do not have to figure it out on your own.
Can you add a second story without moving out of my home?
In most cases, yes — though there will be a period during the project where certain areas of the home are affected. We work to minimize disruption as much as possible and keep you informed throughout the process. The specifics depend on the layout of your home, which is why we walk through every project in detail before work starts.
What areas do you serve for home additions and remodeling?
We serve Woodbridge, Fords, Edison, South Plainfield, Sayreville, South Amboy, Old Bridge, Piscataway, Perth Amboy, Metuchen, Carteret, and Rahway. Most of our work is concentrated in Woodbridge Township and Middlesex County, where we have been active for over 25 years. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call at (844) 902-0881.
How do I know if an addition or a full move makes more financial sense?
For most homeowners in Middlesex County, adding on is the smarter financial move — especially given current housing prices and inventory in Woodbridge and Edison. You stay in the neighborhood you already know, avoid realtor fees and moving costs, and you build equity into a home you already own. A free estimate gives you a real number to compare against what buying a larger home would actually cost you.
Do you offer any discounts on home renovation projects?
Yes — Independent Renovations offers 10% off for seniors and veterans. We built that discount in because these are customers who have earned it. If you qualify, mention it when you call and we will apply it to your estimate.
What is the difference between a sunroom addition and a covered patio?
A sunroom is a fully enclosed, insulated addition — it functions as a year-round living space with windows, heating, and sometimes cooling. A covered patio is an exterior structure attached to the home, open to the air, and used primarily in warmer months. Both add usable space and value to your home, but they serve different purposes. We build both and can help you decide which one fits your goals and budget.
