Why Choose Us

We’ve got over twenty years of experience in this industry, successfully driving construction projects of all sizes and types (new, renovation, demolition, etc.) from permits to certificates of occupancy and beyond. During this time, we have learned a lot that allows us to provide our clients with landmark quality, cost savings and efficiencies that cannot be matched.

Your project, property and people’s safety are our top priorities, thus we are fully insured, licensed, and bonded in the State of New Jersey. With our knowledge of the industry and by-laws in the Garden State, we can handle every element of your project.

General contractors oversee every element of complex construction, renovation, and demolition projects. When you need new plumbing, you hire a plumber. When you need a new electrical system, you hire an electrician. When you need plumbing, electrical, construction, clean-up, and more, you hire a general contractor.

When you hire Bella Contracting for a project in New Jersey, we take care of everything, from acquiring permits, materials, scheduling of resources and services, inspections, and more. Here are some of the services we provide:

01.

Before construction begins, we’ll hire subcontractors, coordinate schedules, contact material suppliers, and secure all necessary permits. We’ll stay in communication with all stakeholders throughout the project. We are your point people for any questions you may have about project status, timeframes, budget, and what to expect next.

When you work with Bella Contracting, we supply all liability insurance and worker’s compensation, thus removing this financial burden and concern and placing it on us, Bella. You can take additional comfort in knowing we have earned a very high safety record and continue to work with our team to ensure this continues.

02.

We’re on-site during the entire project. We supervise all work being done by subcontractors, taking full responsibility for their safety and ensuring that all of their work is on spec, to code, and of high quality. This includes ensuring that everyone is following manufacturer guidelines during construction to guarantee that you’re protected by warranties, and that the building is both safe and functional.

Our company handles any issues onsite, including scheduling conflicts, safety concerns, procuring missing materials, and any other unexpected events. We take the lead on the entire project, and subcontractors come to us with any questions or challenges they encounter.

03.

Once construction is completed, we handle all cleanup. We’ll continue to be available to you post-construction if you have any questions or concerns.

General Contractors Vs. Subcontractors, Prime Contractors, and Construction Managers

General contractor, main contractor, and prime contractor are all interchangeable terms – read the section above if you want to get a better understanding of what a general contractor does.

Construction managers differ from general contractors in that they’re hired by the owner of a business and paid a fee, rather than a lump sum to tackle the entire project. They’re usually hired earlier on in the process and may work directly with architects, or even help the project owner find an architect.

Subcontractors are people who are paid to complete part of another entity’s contract. Simply, general contractors are paid a lump sum to complete the whole project, from procuring supplies to completing construction. Subcontractors are people like carpenters, electricians, and plumbers – they’re hired by the general contractor to fulfill their specific, individual component of the project.

What Type of Contractor Do I Need?

Is your project a one-professional job? A subcontractor (who in this case would just be called a contractor) is the way to go.  If you just need to change your plumbing, for example, you can hire a plumber directly – you don’t need a general contractor.

If you’re looking to pay a lump sum fee to professionals who will handle every aspect of a more complex construction or renovation project, you’ll want a general contractor. This is especially true if you’ve already hired an architecture and engineering firm to design your project.

If you’re looking to pay someone a fee to find architects, designers, engineers, plumbers, electricians, and other contractors for you, you might want a construction manager. When hiring a construction manager, expect more of your time to be taken up by the project, as you have to approve and pay the fees of each subcontractor.

The team at Bella is made up of skilled craftspeople. This means we can rely on our in-house craftspeople for a wide variety of tasks, lowering our overall costs and ensuring the quality of our work. Our site managers are skilled craftspeople, too – after all, the best site managers have years of experience on the ground.

We’ve worked as general contractors on commercial sites throughout New Jersey. We handle everything: procuring supplies, hiring subcontractors, excavation, overseeing the site, cleanup, and more. Whether you’re looking to renovate an existing commercial site or to build a new one, you can count on us.

  • New commercial constructions
  • Commercial renovations
  • Add-a-levels
  • Additions
  • Restaurants
  • Retail
  • Office buildings
  • Apartment buildings

New Residential Construction

We offer general contracting services for new residential constructions in New Jersey. You give us the plans – we handle the rest.

How Long Does It Take To Build a House in Connecticut?

Construction of a new home in New Jersey can take anywhere from 6-18 months, though the process generally takes less than a year. Various factors can affect the time it takes to construct a house, including:

  • Whether it’s a production house or a custom house (custom houses take longer)
  • Whether or not the client changes what they want during the process
  • Uncontrollable factors like weather
  • The contractors you hire

Hiring an experienced general contractor like Bella Contracting can help expedite the homebuilding process.

How Much Does It Cost To Build a New House in Connecticut?

The cost of building a house in New Jersey can vary substantially. Without accounting for the price of land, the cost of building a house in New Jersey varies from ~$130 per square foot to ~$300 per square foot or more. The price itself depends on a wide variety of factors, including:

  • The materials used
  • The number of stories
  • Whether or not the house is custom designed
  • The qualities of the land being built on (steep, oddly shaped, etc.)
  • The contractors you hire
  • The time of season
  • And much more

The best way to know how much a house will cost is to have the plans drawn up. From there, you can show them to a general contractor like Bella Contracting to get an idea of the cost.

Foundations

A solid foundation is central to any construction project, be it commercial or residential. At Bella Contracting, we can build a new foundation or repair and restore existing foundations. Our hard-working team can perform structural repairs, foundation crack repairs, basement floor repairs, inspections, and more. We can waterproof the basements of buildings and perform other renovations, as well.

Don’t let your foundation fail you – call Bella Contracting for new foundations and foundation repairs in New Jersey!

Disaster Relief & Home Elevation​

New Jersey is a beautiful state – but sadly, we’re no strangers to disaster. Flooding and hurricane season have only become worse over the years, and that makes immediate disaster relief an absolute necessity.

When your home or business has been devastated by floods, fires, or any other disasters, there’s no time to wait. You need a contractor who can take action immediately. You need Bella Contracting.

We offer same-day emergency services 24 hours a day. These services include emergency demolition to preserve the portions of the building that we can and keep everyone safe. We provide emergency repairs for both commercial and residential clients.

Want to decrease the risk of flooding damage to your home? We offer home elevation services. With this service, we extend your existing foundation or create a new foundation, lifting your home above even extreme flood levels. This technique protects homes from all but the most severe floods – floods you’ll only see every 500 years. Want more protection? We may be able to elevate your home even further.

At Bella Contracting, we’re here to help you protect what matters most.

FAQ

Does a general contractor need a license in Connecticut?

 

Yes. Major contractors in Connecticut state must be licensed by the Department of Consumer Protection.

What is a Notice of Completion?

A Notice of Completion informs subcontractors and parties with mechanics liens of the end date of a construction project. It’s a technical document that shortens the time that parties with mechanics liens have to file claims. A mechanic’s lien ensures that the party holding the lien is guaranteed payment.

When is the Right Time to Bring a GC into Your Project?

As soon as possible. Years ago, the standard was to bring a general contractor into the project after having consulted with architects and engineers. Today, many projects hire general contractors during the pre-construction phase. Having a general contractor brings valuable construction experience to the planning stages of the project.

What are the types of service contracts?

There are 5 basic types of service contracts in general contracting:

  • Lump sum contracts, in which all costs, including profits for the general contractor, are calculated as a lump sum and paid by the project owner.
  • Time and material (T&M) contracts, in which materials are paid as they’re purchased by the project owner, and contractors are paid an hourly or daily rate.
  • Cost-plus contracts, in which the owner pays for all of the costs of the contract (as they’re incurred), then pays the general contractor a percentage of those costs.
  • Unit price contracts, in which the total work on a project is divided into units, and each unit is paid for before it’s completed.
  • Guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts, in which a maximum price is established. Should the general contractor incur costs that go beyond this maximum price, they are the responsibility of the GC, not the project owner.

Abalest
The best demo contracting company I have dealt with thus far. Called up to get some slab broken up in the basement for plumbing, Bella came the next day to give me a quote with a very competitive price and then came the day after and finished it that day. They were very communicative and prompt and cleaned up and hauled away everything as discussed . Couldn’t be happier with this experience. Almost always with this kind of stuff there are some kind of issues, but with Bella I had absolutely none. Will definitely use them again.
Michele D.
Read reviews before I hired them and thought they were exagerating about how great they were. Boy was I wrong. I couldn’t agree more with the excellent ratings everyone gave them. They were a class act. Professional, courteous, neat and easy to talk to. The workers worked so well together. My husband and I were beyond pleased at the work that was done. I have already recommended them to a friend. Great work Ben and team! Thank you!
Lou ann F.
Ben worked with me through the entire process: the demolition and the city requirements. They were safe, friendly, clean, did the best job for me possible. They were half the price than anybody else, which did concern me, however they were EXCELLENT; they could not have been any better! Inexpensive, great, clean and fast!
Jianglu Z.
Ben and his team are incredibly responsive and high-efficient. They came to our home first for estimation and gave a very reasonable quotes. They complete out removing project within 2 hours and quickly cleaned up all of the debris on site. I would definitely recommend them to my friends.
Sandra D.
Ben was very professional and punctual. The two workers were as well. They demolished two outdoor sheds and removed wood fences. They cleaned up the area afterward. I would definitely recommend this company.
Joseph M.
I am thankful for Bella Contracting Services. They did a great job. They were on-time, fast, and efficient. They did work in one day, that would have took me a week. Time is money in my line of work. Bella Contracting Service saved me time and money with the great price they gave me. They haul away the debris and clean and vacuum everything. Bella Contracting Service is well worth it. I will definitely hire them again.
Jeffrey F.
I hired Ben and his team to perform full demolition on the interior of a historic home bringing it back to the studs in preparation for a full restoration. His team took care where care was needed and worked diligently to get the job done. The fact that Ben had his own trucks for carting really made the difference given the site conditions. I would definitely hire them again.
Myron C.
I hired the team to perform full demolition on the stand alone car garage in my backyard. The team took care where care was needed and worked diligently to get the job done. They were able to knock down the garage and remove the debris in a minimum amount of time and at far less of an expense if the city got involved. I would definitely hire them again. Already in talks for our next project.
Larry M.
Worker’s arrived on time. Demolished the shed and cleaned up effectively.
Marcos F.
The guys got to my house a little bit late, but it was Father s Day on Sunday and they demolish my Drummes studio. they took care of it, great guys ,hard workers. Did what they re supposed to do.
Jay G.
Crew was on time and focused and did a great job! It was an organized demolition of a backyard shed. They were professional and cleaned up. Would use them again and reccommend.
Maria P.
Ben and his crew did demo work on our home. Ben was very thoughtful and catered to all our needs. They completed the work very quickly and efficiently, making sure we like the way they did everything. Everyone was very friendly and it was a pleasure to do business with them. They left the area clean.
Scott L.
Very easy to communicate with the owner Ben. They were able to start the project when I needed and complete just as fast. Had a dumpster truck so no need to have a dumpster delivered on a driveway.
John C.
Couldn’t be happier with the results. They have a great team of experienced guys and take care of you. I highly recommend them!! I needed to get rid of an old shed and a rusted basketball pole. From the initial inspection to the day of the job, Bella Contracting was timely, polite and really good at their jobs. The team came in with their own trucks and tools, which allowed for them to give me a fair price on handling two demolitions. It took them less than two hours! I appreciated that they were willing to listen to my needs and how they even gave some tips on house-maintenance coming from their decades of experience. Thanks guys!!
