Some houses need a contractor once. Others need somebody who turns up regularly and keeps small problems from turning into expensive ones. Griffith Construction, Inc. does both, across Morris, Passaic, Essex, Bergen, Hudson, Sussex and Union Counties.
Book any of these on their own or as part of a seasonal visit.
General landscapingLawn edges, beds and borders kept tidy, overgrowth cut back and the yard kept looking cared for
Clean upsSpring and fall clean ups: leaves, branches, storm debris and yard waste cleared and hauled away
MulchingBeds weeded and edged, then fresh mulch laid to hold moisture in and keep weeds down
TrimmingHedges, shrubs and small trees shaped and cut back from the house, walks and fence lines
Upkeep on a Schedule
We will work out a maintenance plan around what your property actually needs and what you want to spend. For most homes that means a spring and a fall visit, with exterior surfaces washed, caulking checked and anything loose put right before the weather turns.
Landlords and second-home owners tend to want more. If you are not there to notice the siding going green on the north face or the deck board that has gone soft, we are.
Seasonal Work
Deck stain gives up after a few winters. Caulk splits and lets weather in behind it. Painted trim on the weather side goes before anything else does. We handle the seasonal round so it does not sit on your own list until it turns into a repair job.
One Contractor Who Knows the Property
The advantage of using the same crew each visit is that we already know where the trouble spots are. We have been doing this in northern New Jersey since 1999 and are fully insured and licensed.

The level of service and the professionalism of Jim Griffith and Griffith Construction make them stand out in a crowd. His attention to detail and the quality of his workmanship are outstanding. I recently left on a two week trip overseas, and needed some work done on a rental home while I was away. I felt completely comfortable letting Jim use his judgment on the repairs that needed to be done in my absence. When I returned, I was thrilled with what was done. It is reassuring to know that there are people like Jim that one can depend on when any job, large or small, needs to be done.
