You love your home BUT it needs some TLC. Perhaps you need more space or a new Kitchen or Master Bath? Grant Homes is a builder/remodeler with a track record for success that will make your project easy, affordable to your budget, and exceed your expectations!
Grant Homes has built over 300 homes in the past 20 years and completed countless remodels building relationships with many professionals in all areas of expertise. So, when your project requires a designer, architect, land surveyor, professional engineer or landscape architect, we have the resources to add the right professional to your team that is suited to your project needs.
The Process Begins With You!
Every successful project starts with good planning. And every remodel project is unique to your home and your vision, needs, and budget. As a starting point ask yourself the following questions:
Questions to Ask Yourself:
- What is the scope of the project?
- How much do I want to spend on the project?
- Are there certain phases of the project that take priority over other phases? Can some phases be done at a later date?
- When do I want to start the project?
Next Steps:
Phone Call
Once you have answered the above questions it is time to discuss the project. Call the office, any day (including weekends!) and ask to speak to Jay Grant. You will begin discussions directly with the builder. If he is not available, leave your contact info and he will get back to you ASAP. Grant Homes office # is: 973-543-2021.
Set an Appointment For a No Obligation Consultation
After your initial phone call with Jay and if the project seems of interest to further share information, an appointment for a meeting will be held at one of two locations…your home or our One Main Street Meeting/Showroom. The meeting will be with Jay Grant.

Meeting/Consultation
The purpose and goals of the initial consultation are:
- Get acquainted
- Review in more detail your answers to the questions stated above (Including scope of work, timing, budget goals and your project funding)
- Discussion of what Pricing Strategy best suits your project and your personality
When we assist our Clients with renovations/additions, one of the pricing strategies we work with is an Open Book Pricing Program also known as Construction Management Cost Plus. While working with the Builder and Architect on design, this pricing program enables you to understand how major design changes can impact your budget. You have the opportunity to control the budget in a sophisticated, phase-by-phase overview of the project. An Estimating Worksheet is competed which establishes a budget for every phase of the project, as well as the total project.
We also work with Fixed Pricing per Client request.
