Renovating Essex Fells, One Home at a Time

G&L and Sons Renovations has served Essex County homeowners since 1984. We handle kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and full home renovations for homeowners throughout Essex Fells and the surrounding towns.

Essex Fells homeowners live in some of the most distinctive properties in the county, from Tudor manors to center-hall Colonials set on large, tree-lined lots. Before any design work begins, we sit down and talk through what you want to change and what you want to keep exactly as it is. 

Our team stays on every job from the first design meeting through the final walkthrough. We treat each project on its own terms, whether that means matching existing millwork in a 1920s Tudor or framing a new rear addition.


What Essex Fells Homeowners Are Renovating Right Now

These are some of the most popular projects we've been doing in the area: 

  • Updating kitchens for how families cook and gather, without losing the scale of an older home
  • Primary suites and spa-style bathroom upgrades
  • Custom millwork and cabinetry matched to existing trim
  • Finished lower levels that add real living space, whether that's a home office or a gym
  • Rear and side additions built to blend with the original structure
  • Full home renovations that update systems and finishes while keeping the house recognizable

What Sets G&L and Sons Apart in Essex Fells

Long-Standing Local Ties. We've been renovating homes in Essex Fells and the surrounding areas for more than 40 years. We've worked with the borough's large-lot zoning and older housing stock often enough to know what an addition or renovation requires here.

One Team, Start to Finish. We design, build, and manage every project ourselves. You work with the same team and the same point of contact from the first sketch through the final walkthrough.

Industry Recognition. Our kitchen and bathroom remodeling has earned multiple Best of Essex Gold and Silver medals. Clients notice the difference, and so does the industry judging the category.

Still a Family-Run Business. The Caputo family started this company and still runs it today. Every job gets the hands-on attention of people whose names are on the business.

What Our Clients Think

"We worked with G&L and Sons to renovate our family room. It's the first meaningful change we made to the house and we couldn't be happier with the results. David and Chris helped us understand our options, laid out the process for us and answered dozens of questions. Their designer created an excellent plan for the room and the result looks fantastic. They even built custom shelves for us when they realized we couldn't get what we wanted fabricated! Chris was on-site nearly every day work occurred overseeing his contractors, all of whom were professional and did good work. We struggle to think of anything that could have gone better with the project. We'll be using G&L and Sons every chance we can for home renovations."

What Our Clients Think

"We have done three projects with G&L and we are very pleased with their quality of work! We had a tricky third-floor bathroom that we converted into a shower, installed bead board, new tile, plumbing, and much more. We also put in hardwood floors and replaced the door casings and doors. David helped us understand our options and the overall time frame and investment to expect, which allowed us to make the best decision moving forward. Maureen was incredible when it came to the design and didn't miss a beat on details we didn't think of; she even wrote out very specific floor plans to make sure we wouldn't run into challenges. Chris, Jon, and their team did a beautiful job on the whole project and respect the rest of the home while moving throughout the project."
