35+ Years Building 4× Best of Houzz 3× Home Builder Digest NJ #13VH09340700

A trusted Clifton contractor with deep roots in Passaic County.

Clifton is more than a service area for us — it's home. Since 1990, Omar Construction has built, expanded, and renovated homes across Clifton's distinct neighborhoods — from the colonial streets of Allwood and Athenia to the Cape Cods and split-levels of Botany Village, Lakeview, and Richfield. We know Clifton's housing stock, its permitting process, and the kinds of projects that make sense for the homes here.

As a fully licensed and insured New Jersey general contractor (NJ #13VH09340700), we handle every aspect of your project in-house — design consultation, architectural drawings, permits, demolition, framing, and finishes — across all four Clifton zip codes (07011, 07012, 07013, 07014). The same standards that earned us four straight Best of Houzz awards and three editorial features in Home Builder Digest are the standards we bring to every Clifton project, large or small.

I chose Omar Construction as the general contractor for a total renovation of my home. I couldn't have been more pleased with that decision. From the beginning of the project to completion, Omar and his team of highly skilled tradesmen did a fantastic job! Starting with a set of architect's drawings that I had previously commissioned, Omar reviewed them, recommended several improvements, and prepared a detailed proposal. The job included demolition, excavation, expanding the footprint of the original home and rebuilding everything back up from the foundation. Omar was very open and communicative during the entire process so I always knew exactly what was being done, why and how it would be accomplished in the most cost efficient manner. Omar has a list of reliable, expert tradesmen who he has worked with for many years. They all did outstanding work, on schedule and at a reasonable price. He and his team have the experience and specialized skills to accomplish any construction project, large or small. They have built me a home that I plan to live in and enjoy for many years. He has my highest recommendation.

Omar Construction built us a truly beautiful home and were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their professionalism, craftsmanship, and dedication went far beyond our expectations. Even with the challenge of transporting supplies and equipment through a narrow access point, they handled it with remarkable skill and determination. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Truly the best builder ever!

Omar is honest, sincere and kind. He's very helpful and encourages discussion, and he's warm and friendly. The experience was one of a kind. I would choose him again for another project, and I have referred him to about a dozen people since I've used him. Is he perfect? No...but no one is. He is generous and demonstrates true dedication to you as the owner and to the project, and while many issues and problems and concerns can come up during the project, he is attentive and is able to modify things on the turn of a dime. Omar had numerous occasion to cheat me during the project, with subcontractors offering him kickbacks, and he didn't take any of them. He passed all of the savings onto me, and I confirmed these behind-the-scenes improprieties on the part of the subcontractors twice, and I couldn't believe it!! That people I was paying to help me build my house were trying to cheat me, or that they were trying to work in cahoots with Omar!! It was surprising, although maybe I was naive. But Omar is more honest than I even gave him credit for, and for that, I have kept in contact with him even after all these years, helping him gain customers and clients because he's not only my contractor but he's also become my friend.

Omar Construction is everything you could hope for in a general contractor: honest, fair, experienced, very knowledgeable, punctual, and easy to work with. Omar does things the right way, and all the work stayed on schedule. Omar just completed 2 bathrooms at our home in Clifton, NJ and we are thrilled with the results. One bathroom was a renovation, and Omar created a new layout to give us a master suite with our own bathroom. The second bathroom is completely new and converted from a bedroom. Our three college-age children are excited to have a brand-new bathroom, and my wife is very pleased to have her own newly renovated private bath. I have peace of mind because I am confident that all the infrastructure behind the walls and under the floors was done correctly. I am confident that we will enjoy the bathrooms worry-free for many years to come because Omar made sure that everything was done to the highest standards. Omar handled everything: drawing up the initial plan and obtaining the permits, demo, framing, plumbing, electric, insulation, doors and trim, tile, painting, and clean up. From start to finish, Omar was an absolute professional. We love our new bathrooms. The pictures speak for themselves.

Clifton Homeowner FAQ

Common questions about your project.

Do you serve all Clifton zip codes? +
Yes. We serve every Clifton zip code — 07011, 07012, 07013, and 07014 — plus the surrounding Passaic County area. Whether you're in Allwood, Athenia, Botany Village, Lakeview, Richfield, Delawanna, or any other Clifton neighborhood, we're a short drive away and ready to start your project.
Are you licensed and insured in New Jersey? +
Yes. Omar Construction is fully licensed by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs as a Home Improvement Contractor — license number 13VH09340700. We carry full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage on every job. Your project is protected from start to finish.
What types of homes do you typically work on in Clifton? +
Clifton has a uniquely varied housing stock — we work on it all. Cape Cods looking to add a second floor, split-levels needing modernization, mid-century ranches getting full additions, classic colonials in Allwood and Athenia, and new custom builds on lots throughout the city. We've spent decades learning the quirks of Clifton's older housing stock and the construction details that older homes need.
How long does a typical project take? +
Timelines vary by scope. A bathroom remodel typically runs 3–6 weeks. A kitchen renovation usually lands at 6–10 weeks. A second-floor add-a-level or major addition can take 3–6 months. A full custom home build is generally 9–14 months from groundbreak to move-in. We give every Clifton homeowner a realistic schedule before we start, and we hit our completion dates — that's part of the standard.
Do you handle permits and inspections in Clifton? +
Yes — we handle the entire permit process with the Clifton Building Department. From submitting plans to scheduling inspections to closing out the permit at project completion, we manage it all so you don't have to. We've worked with Clifton's inspectors for decades and we know exactly what they look for.
Do you provide architectural drawings? +
Yes. We can produce the architectural drawings for your project in-house, or work directly from drawings you've already commissioned. Either way, we'll review every detail before we start and recommend any improvements that will save you money or make the build smoother. Many Clifton homeowners come to us with rough sketches and leave with permit-ready plans.
How do I get a quote for my Clifton project? +
Call us at (973) 418-6375 or use the contact form on our site. We offer free in-home consultations across Clifton — we'll come look at your home, walk through what you're hoping to do, and follow up with a detailed proposal. No high-pressure sales, no rushed decisions — just an honest conversation about what's possible and what it'll cost.
