Home Remodeling Across Bergen County — 23+ Years of PA/NJ Craftsmanship
VM Power Construction serves Paramus and Bergen County from our Center Valley, PA office, with free estimates, project coordination, and licensed remodeling across northern New Jersey. Founded in 2003, we hold NJ HIC #13VH11744800 and serve Paramus homeowners with the same craftsmanship behind our A BBB rating.
Paramus sits at the crossroads of Route 4 and Route 17, with mid-century colonials and Capes along Spring Valley Road, larger residential lots toward East Brook, and mixed commercial-residential blocks near Forest Avenue. From kitchen remodels to basement finishing and home additions, our Paramus crew handles permits through the Borough Building Department and coordinates materials from the dense Route 17 supplier corridor.
Whether you're updating a Forest Avenue-area home, opening up a Spring Valley Road kitchen, or planning an addition near Midland Avenue, call (484) 948-0279 for a free in-home consultation.
Specialized solutions for Paramus homes and businesses
New Jersey requires permits for almost all decks, additions, and structural work. We hold NJ HIC #13VH11744800 and coordinate directly with the Borough of Paramus Building Department at 1 Jockish Square. We schedule free consultations across Bergen County from our Center Valley, PA office.
Paramus's mid-century housing stock often needs electrical panel upgrades, open-concept kitchen conversions, and moisture-aware basement finishing. We are EPA Lead-Safe RRP certified for pre-1978 homes common throughout the borough.
One crew covers Paramus, Fair Lawn, Ridgewood, Hackensack, Teaneck, Fort Lee, and Wyckoff across the Bergen County corridor.

Paramus built out largely in the post-war decades, and the borough's housing stock is consistent enough that the same three issues come up again and again.
The first is electrical capacity. A panel and service sized for a 1955 household does not support a modern kitchen — induction range, wall oven, dishwasher, microwave, disposal, and a beverage refrigerator represent load nobody was planning for. A service and panel upgrade is frequently the unglamorous first line of a kitchen project here, and it needs to land in the schedule before finish work rather than being discovered mid-project.
The second is the closed floor plan. Kitchens were built as separate rooms, so most Paramus renovations are open-concept conversions, which makes a load-bearing assessment the real first step. We look at joist direction before proposing a beam, not after.
The third is basement moisture. Finishing a Paramus basement means dealing with grading, downspout discharge, and a vapor strategy against the foundation wall before insulation and framing go in. Skipping that step is the most common reason a finished basement fails within a few years.
New Jersey requires permits for nearly all decks, additions, and structural work regardless of size. Paramus construction permits are issued under the statewide Uniform Construction Code through the Borough Building Department at Jockish Square, split into building, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection subcodes — each reviewed separately and each inspected separately at defined stages. An electrical service upgrade is its own subcode item with its own inspection, which is exactly why it has to be sequenced early. Zoning approval is separate from construction permitting and governs setbacks, coverage, and height on any addition.
Pre-1978 homes are common across the borough, bringing the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting rule into effect. We hold EPA Lead-Safe RRP certification and run contained, HEPA-cleaned work areas with verification before handover.
Both 07652 and 07653 are inside our service area.
