Omar Construction is a NJ-licensed home builder and general contractor working across Totowa, NJ. We handle the work this town actually needs — custom home building, second-floor additions, side and rear extensions, and code-compliant flood-zone construction for homeowners across both Totowa zip codes.
Most of our Totowa projects fall into four categories: custom home building, second-floor additions, side and rear extensions, and flood-zone construction. We've built fully custom new homes throughout Totowa — ground-up builds on existing lots and tear-down-rebuilds where the original house had reached the end of its life. Beyond new construction, Totowa's housing stock leans heavily on one-story homes that homeowners want to expand vertically rather than out — second-story add-a-levels are some of our most common Totowa projects. We also build out additions to the right, left, and rear of existing homes for families that need more square footage without sacrificing yard space.
Parts of Totowa sit inside FEMA-designated flood zones — and that's a real complication for homeowners trying to build, expand, or rebuild. We've spent years doing flood-compliant construction in this town: foundation elevations, structural reinforcement, breakaway construction, properly engineered crawl spaces, and the kind of code-compliant work that gets approved on the first inspection rather than the third. Most contractors avoid flood zones because the engineering and permitting are harder. We don't.
As a fully licensed and insured New Jersey general contractor (NJ #13VH09340700), we handle the entire build in-house — design, drawings, permits, framing, finishes — across both Totowa zip codes (07512, 07511). Whether the project is a straightforward add-a-level on a quiet street or an elevation-and-rebuild in a flood zone, we approach it the same way: with full architectural collaboration, in-house engineering, and a project schedule we actually meet. The 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 Totowa project, large or small.
Four core services that account for the bulk of our Totowa projects — including the work most contractors won't touch.
Fully custom new homes built across Totowa, NJ. Ground-up new construction and tear-down-rebuilds — handled in-house from architectural design and engineering through framing, mechanicals, and finishes. We've built custom homes for Totowa families who wanted a home designed around how they actually live.
Adding a full second story to an existing one-story Totowa home is one of our most common local projects. We engineer the load paths, reinforce the foundation where needed, and frame, insulate, and finish the new level to match — turning a ranch or cape into a true two-story home without losing the lot or the yard.
Extending a Totowa home's footprint to the right, left, or back. Whether it's a primary suite expansion, a kitchen-and-family-room build-out, or a full rear wing — we handle the structural engineering, the foundation work, and the finished integration so the addition reads like it was always there.
Specialized construction for Totowa homes in FEMA-designated flood zones. Foundation elevations, structural reinforcement, breakaway walls, properly engineered crawl spaces, and code-compliant rebuilds. Most contractors avoid flood zones — we've made it a specialty.
