Why Bergen Families Choose Us

The kind of builder you only need to hire once.

Bergen County is one of the most demanding residential markets in New Jersey — and one we've worked in for more than three decades. As a general contractor in Bergen County, NJ, our work spans estate-scale custom homes in Saddle River, Franklin Lakes, and Alpine through multi-generational additions in Tenafly, Demarest, and Closter — plus full kitchen and bathroom renovations across Bergen County. Most of our Bergen builds come from past clients who told their neighbor, their daughter, or their friend.

Bergen homeowners don't tend to be shopping for the cheapest contractor. They're hiring someone they can trust to be on site, communicate every step, and finish what they started — with the kind of craftsmanship that holds up at year 30, not just year 3. We're a family business — Omar himself, hands-on, on every project, with his son Khaled — which is why our standard never slips.

Beyond ground-up custom homes, we handle major additions, second-floor add-a-levels, structural renovations, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basements, and full home remodeling across Bergen County. Licensed, insured, and continuously in business since 1990 — long enough to know every Bergen permit office, structural engineer, and architect worth working with. Project financing is available through three major lending partners for qualified Bergen County homeowners.

What We Build in Bergen

Six core services. One accountable team.

From a finished basement in Glen Rock to a 9,000 sq ft custom home in Alpine — every Bergen project runs the same way: in-house, on schedule, with you in the loop daily.

01

Custom Homes

Architect-led, ground-up custom home construction — from 4,000 sq ft to 12,000+ sq ft. Built to last generations, designed around how your family actually lives.

02

Major Additions

Second stories, primary suites, full-wing expansions. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the existing home — no telltale "addition" look from the curb.

03

Add-a-Levels

Second-story add-a-levels are a Bergen specialty — turning ranches and capes into modern two-story homes without losing the lot. Engineered, permitted, finished.

04

Kitchen Renovations

From small refresh to full structural redesign. Custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, walls removed, islands built — finish-grade tile, stone, and trim throughout.

05

Structural Renovations

Load-bearing wall removals, foundation work, dormer additions, reframing, full structural reworks. Engineered drawings, town-permitted, inspector-approved.

06

Whole-Home Remodels

Full-scope renovations that reset a Bergen property's standard top to bottom — the kind of work that earns industry awards and word-of-mouth referrals.

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. 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. From start to finish, Omar was an absolute professional. We love our new bathrooms.
