"Just completed a major remodel of our basement, installation of a new roof and other updates to our ranch style home. The finished project is beyond our expectations and all structural issues are resolved due to Chris and Chris Jr.'s knowledge, experience and meticulous attention to detail. Our basement was transformed from a wet, dark, damp and unused space into a welcoming, comfortable addition to our living space. Lastly, these two gentlemen are consummate professionals and genuinely good people." Evon G.
"Chris and Chris Jr. of East Ridge Construction are true professionals. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail,cleanliness, suggestions and contagious warm personalities, are a rare and welcome combination ! They did a total rip out and renovation of our Main Bathroom. They performed the work in a timely fashion and coordinated their other trade professionals ,who were also fantastic , in a seamless harmony. Not only did we get fantastic work at a reasonable price, but we also were entertained and felt as if we truly made new friends who we highly recommend ! Even our Dog Buster has withdrawals after they left. They are truly that Good!" Rich M.
"Our 1950's pink & black guest bathroom was stripped to the studs,rebuilt and transformed into a classic beauty within the same footprint by the East Ridge team. Chris has been performing renovation work for us since 1982 in our two homes in Bergen County. The numerous jobs ranged in price from $25K to $300K. His attention to detail when quoting prices eliminates any worry of unexpected upcharges as the job progresses unless you, the homeowner, make changes mid-stream. Chris is meticulous and precise and will not tolerate mediocre work from any sub he brings to a job site. Chris's scheduling of subs and jockeying the worksite space for subs to work together is a talent unappreciated by customer's unless you have experience with disorganized contractors.
The most recent project East Ridge completed included deconstructing a bathroom with a toilet, tub/shower doors, vanity from the 1950's. He readded electrical feeds into the room, changed placement of and added light fixtures, an exhaust fan, auxiliary heater and removed the old radiator from the wall and installed radiant heat in the floor. He moved the sewer line in the room to meet new codes. The craftsmen he used for the marble work were primo. They cut, on-site, 12X12 marble into 6X6 subway tiles for the job. Every tile was a custom cut to fit the room which has a clipped roof. The custom shower stall had 4X4 marble custom cut on site and set on the diagonal with precision beyond compare. This bath was small but the intricate work performed is evident each time someone looks at the transformation and gasps at the beauty. That job lead to adding some architectural moldings to a staircase and crown moldings to dress up the interior of the house.
East Ridge is Chris and Chris Jr. who are old world craftsmen whose talents are endless and these days, underappreciated. They treat your property as if it were there own. They are neat, tidy, and make every attempt to minimize the disruption to your home during the job.
We are extremely particular about quality and East Ridge is the only contractor we will allow in our home to perform renovation work."

"Remodeled master and childrens' bathrooms and 1 powder room.

Reconfigured & expanded driveway and installed lamp post. Created closet off foyer.
I am still in awe at the ease with which this remodeling was accomplished. Chris Portante's East Ridge Construction is truly a professional, creative, highly skilled group. Remodeling is a project that requires a number of people to be in your home for a major period of time. Chris Portante, (the GC who was on site at some point every day if not all day) and his son Chris Jr, treat your home as if it were their own. Chris's team was courteous, unobtrusive, and the neatest crew I have ever had in my home. Their work is of the highest quality. As Chris would say " If you are going to do something, do it right" inferring build it to last. Chris ensured that all permit approvals were received on time so that work could continue uninterrupted. His group of sub-contractors were equally talented as his crew. Chris kept me on schedule too with the choices that I needed to make so as to avoid delay. He made recommendations when he felt something could be done in a better way and his good taste was much appreciated!! Chris was quick to respond to any questions that I had, and also helpful in recommending sources for home maintenance (landscaping, irrigation, exterior painting, etc)
All in all, I am so appreciative to Chris, Chris Jr. and the East Ridge Construction team for making the whole experience as easy as it was and for creating the amazing home we now live in."
