Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Union County, NJ
Stronghold Construction has spent more than 20 years renovating homes across Union County — from center-hall colonials in Westfield and Summit to craftsman bungalows in Cranford, expanded ranches in Scotch Plains, and estate homes in Berkeley Heights. Every project is delivered by our own licensed crews on a fixed price and a firm schedule, with the finish quality that has kept our Union County clients quietly referring us to their neighbors for two decades.
We're the contractor Union homeowners call for renovations that require more than swapping cabinets: opening a Westfield colonial's kitchen into the family room, gut-renovating a Summit primary bath into a spa suite, adding a full second-story addition in Cranford, or restoring a Scotch Plains home from the studs while you rent nearby for four months.
Kitchen Remodeling in Westfield, Summit, Cranford & Scotch Plains
Custom Shaker or flat-panel cabinetry, quartz or honed marble counters, professional appliance packages (Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele, Thermador), and the structural work — steel beams, LVL headers, floor reinforcement — that lets us open Union County kitchens into dining and family rooms without compromising the character of the original home. Typical Union kitchen renovations run $75,000–$200,000 and complete in 8–12 weeks.

Primary suite baths, hall baths, and powder rooms — waterproofed to NJ subcode, tiled meticulously, and finished with the plumbing fixtures and details expected in Westfield, Summit, and Berkeley Heights. Curbless walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, cabinetry-quality vanities, and concealed plumbing that doesn't leak.

Working in Union County
Union County housing is defined by older, well-built colonials, Tudors, and craftsman homes concentrated in Westfield, Summit, Cranford, and Berkeley Heights. Many were built between 1910 and 1940 and require renovation choices sympathetic to their original architecture — real plaster repair, period-appropriate millwork, and structural reinforcement when opening up floor plans. Westfield's building department requires detailed structural drawings for any load-bearing modification and separate subcode permits for construction, plumbing, electrical, and fire. Summit and Berkeley Heights have particular expectations around finish quality and neighborhood impact during construction. Cranford and Scotch Plains township offices require setback compliance drawings for any addition. Our two decades of Union County work means we already know each township's inspector, review timeline, and paperwork requirements — so your project starts on schedule and passes final inspection when it should.
