R.A.D. General Contractors — Newark-based builders who listen to what you want, build it right the first time, and don't disappear when the check clears. Shocking concept in this industry.

We've all seen it: the kitchen remodel that started in March and it's now September, there's no running building, the walls are half-destroyed, and the contractor "will be right back" after lunch (two weeks ago).
Kitchen remodeling is complicated, but it doesn't have to be a nightmare. We plan it, permit it, build it, and finish it. All while you can actually use your sink.
We coordinate the contractor, electrician, tile guy, cabinet installer — the whole circus. You get one point of contact (us), one timeline, one warranty.
Design consultation is included. We'll help you pick finishes that look good together and won't be dated in five years. Pinterest is not a design plan.
New kitchens, full basements, room additions — if it requires permits and skilled trades, we handle it.
Complete kitchen overhauls, cabinet installation, countertops, flooring — turn your kitchen into the room everyone hangs out in.
Master baths, half baths, accessibility upgrades — we make kitchens that actually work for your family (and look amazing).
Need more space? We build it. Second floors, bump-outs, family rooms — properly permitted and built to last.
Turn that concrete dungeon into usable space. Family rooms, home offices, guest suites — properly buildingproofed and insulated.
Foundation issues, beam replacement, load-bearing modifications — we fix what's broken before it gets expensive.
Tearing down the old to make room for the new. Selective demo, full gut jobs — we do it safe, clean, and fast.
Here's what separates good contractors from the guys who disappear at the first sign of complications: we plan everything twice before we build it once.
Detailed drawings, material schedules, permit applications, subcontractor coordination — all handled before we break ground. When problems come up (they always do), we're ready.
Quality materials cost more upfront but save you money in the long run. We don't use builder-grade garbage and hope for the best. Properly installed, quality materials last decades.
Family business that treats your home like our own. Clean, professional, and we actually finish what we start.
NJ contractor license, proper insurance, all permits pulled correctly. No shortcuts, no "cash deals," no problems later.
Detailed written estimates, no surprise charges. The price we quote is the price you pay — change orders require your approval.
Daily cleanup, materials organized, dust controlled. Your home stays livable during construction — revolutionary concept.
Project timeline, regular updates, completion guarantee. We don't disappear when it's 95% done leaving you with a punch list.
"R.A.D. gutted and rebuilt our kitchen in 6 weeks exactly like they promised. Other contractors quoted 3-4 months. Clean, professional, and the result is stunning."
"Finally found contractors who actually communicate. Daily updates, no surprises, finished on budget. Our basement went from scary dungeon to family hangout space."
"They handled permits, inspections, coordinated all the trades — we didn't have to worry about anything. Professional from start to finish. Highly recommend."
Based in Newark, serving all of Essex County. We know local codes, inspectors, and suppliers.
R.A.D. General Contractors isn't some franchise operation. We're a Newark family business that's been building in Essex County for over 20 years. Your neighbors are our references.
When we take on a project, we see it through to completion. No disappearing acts, no "we'll finish it next month" excuses. Your project gets completed on schedule or we explain exactly why it doesn't.
Quality construction takes time and costs money. Anyone can slap up drywall and call it finished. We build like we're building for our own family — because your satisfaction determines our reputation in this neighborhood.
One bad job and everyone on the block knows about it. That keeps us honest and keeps our standards high. We like it that way.
