General Contractor & Construction Company in Garwood, NJ
Garwood is just up the road from our Clark headquarters, and we have been building in Union County since 1980. Precision General Construction handles roofing, remodeling, additions, and exterior work across the borough.
Construction & Remodeling for Garwood's Close-Knit Streets
Garwood is one of the smallest boroughs in New Jersey, packed into less than a square mile that grew up around the old Jersey Central rail line and its factories. The housing reflects that history, with modest early-1900s homes, foursquares, bungalows, and Cape Cods sitting close together on tight lots, north of the tracks on numbered streets and south of them on the tree-named ones. Small lots make for real building puzzles. There is little room to swing a deck, a dormer, or a rear addition without careful planning around setbacks and your neighbor's wall. We are good at exactly that kind of close-quarters work, and with Clark only a few miles off, our trucks and dumpsters are never far away.

What Garwood-Area Homeowners Say
Real reviews from homeowners across Union County and the Garwood area.
I had the pleasure of having Precision General Construction install new hardwood floors in my house. They did a seamless job of removing my old flooring, installing my new floors and leaving my house in outstanding shape everyday they were there! I would absolutely recommend them for any job you need done on your house!
Quick, professional and friendly service. They installed an awning for us and working with them was wonderful every step of the way. I highly recommend them.
The best price, very professional, very friendly, and great work. They replaced my slate roof with shingles. I highly recommended this company for any construction work.
We recently put on an addition and Bob and his team were amazing! They are hardworking, dependable and do great work. I have been so happy with the addition, I've already recommended them to two other friends!
Just want to say thank you for the outstanding job completed at my home! I had the gutters, leaders and gutter protection installed as well as some siding repairs. Outstanding products and professional staff! The gutter protection is great and I have no worries about leaves and debris. I would recommend your company and services to everyone. Thank you again!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Garwood Service
What Building & Renovating in Garwood Takes
Garwood's housing is mostly century-old, built dense for a railroad and factory town, so renovation here is the art of working in small spaces. Lots are narrow, homes sit close to the line, and side yards are tight, which means additions, decks, and dormers have to be planned carefully around setbacks and access. Older framing, original wiring, and aging roofs and porches are common, and on small homes every square foot of an addition counts. We design changes that add usable space and light without overwhelming the lot or crowding the neighbors, and we stage materials and equipment so a tight street stays passable.
Garwood does not run its own building department. Through a shared-services agreement, construction permits and inspections are handled by the Cranford Building Department under the NJ Uniform Construction Code, so we file and coordinate inspections there. The borough has no historic preservation commission and no designated historic district, which keeps exterior projects straightforward. Because our Clark headquarters is only a short drive away, we keep Garwood's narrow blocks clear, protect the property line, and clean up daily so the work stays neighborly from start to finish.
