Multi-Family Gut Renovation in Passaic & Bergen County
Full gut renovations for two-family and three-family homes. We coordinate tenant schedules, manage shared plumbing and electrical, and handle all permits for your multi-unit property.
About This Service
Two-family and three-family homes present unique renovation challenges that single-family contractors often underestimate. Shared plumbing stacks, separate electrical meters, tenant coordination, and staged construction require a contractor who understands multi-unit logistics and can plan around occupancy.
We have extensive experience gut renovating two-family and three-family homes across Northern NJ. Whether you live in one unit and rent the other, or own the building as an investment, we coordinate tenant schedules, manage shared systems, and execute phased or full-gut work while minimizing disruption. Passaic County permits, lead and asbestos assessment for older multi-families, and all trades are handled under one contract.
Our process includes a detailed scope review of each unit, a construction schedule that accounts for tenant turnover or relocation, and a fully itemized estimate. You get the same design-build quality we bring to single-family gut renovations, adapted for the complexity of multi-unit properties.

Multi-Family Gut Renovation in Passaic & Bergen County FAQs
Can you gut renovate a two-family home while tenants are in place?
In some cases, yes. We can phase work unit by unit so one apartment remains habitable while we gut the other. For full gut renovations, temporary relocation is usually required. We provide a schedule so you and your tenants can plan accordingly.
How do you handle shared plumbing in a multi-family gut?
We map all shared stacks and plan work to minimize disruption. When we replace cast-iron drains or upgrade supply lines, we coordinate timing so both units are addressed. Shared system work is included in our estimate from the start.
Do you need permits for multi-family gut renovations?
Yes. Multi-family renovations require the same permits as single-family (structural, plumbing, electrical, HVAC), and sometimes additional fire separation or egress updates. We handle all Passaic County and municipal permits.
How long does a multi-family gut renovation take?
Timeline depends on unit count, scope, and whether work is phased. A two-family full gut typically takes 4 to 7 months. A three-family can take 6 to 10 months. We provide a detailed schedule during the planning phase.
