General Contractor & Construction Company in Plainfield, NJ
Plainfield is the Queen City, home to some of New Jersey's finest Victorian neighborhoods. Restoring and protecting houses like these is exactly the work we have done since 1980.
Victorian Homes Deserve a Patient Contractor
Few towns in New Jersey wear their history like Plainfield. The Queen City is famous for blocks of grand Victorians built roughly between 1875 and 1925, from Queen Anne and Italianate to Second Empire and Shingle Style, gathered into half a dozen residential historic districts. Houses like these are a joy and a responsibility: wraparound porches, original wood windows, slate and cedar roofs, and millwork you simply cannot buy off a shelf. Precision General Construction has restored, re-roofed, and remodeled period homes since 1980, working with the grain of the architecture instead of against it. We are a straight shot from our Clark headquarters, and we know the city's review process for work in its historic districts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Plainfield Service
Building in Plainfield, From the Driveway Up
Plainfield takes preservation seriously, and so do we. The city has an active Historic Preservation Commission and a network of residential historic districts, the largest of which is the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1985 and once spotlighted in This Old House magazine as one of the best places in the country to buy a historic home. Exterior work in these districts goes through HPC review, which means the right materials, the right details, and a contractor who can document the plan.
Day to day, most Plainfield projects are about keeping a great old house great: porch and trim restoration, slate or cedar roof repair, wood window restoration, and period-correct siding and paint, plus the careful systems upgrades that older homes eventually need. Permits run through the city's Building and Construction Division on Watchung Avenue under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, coordinated with the Historic Commission where it applies. From Clark we are close enough to be hands-on through the whole job.
