Rent-ready units, turned over fast and done right

Apartment renovations cover everything from a quick tenant turnover with fresh paint and flooring to a full in-unit kitchen and bath remodel, plus the hallways, stairwells, and lobbies your tenants see every day, all scoped for landlords and property managers.

  • On time, as promised

    We schedule the trades back to back and give you a realistic turnaround date so units stop sitting empty.

  • No hidden costs

    We scope the unit and put the full price in writing up front, with no surprise fees and financing available.

A 5.0-star rating from 40+ verified Google reviews from New Jersey owners who trusted us with their properties.

"After having a sudden water leak and having the whole house fall apart, I found the UCC team and Jeff was very professional from the very beginning. He was very attentive to everything that needs to be done and most importantly he understood my urgency and started working right away. Words can't even explain how grateful I am for the amazing work Yico and Patricio did. I am so happy with the UCC team and their work."
Ismot Tuba
"Professionally done work and the customer service is just as good as the work done. Jefferson and his crew are experts in their craft and more importantly he will explain to you everything that will be done in the project, and will work with you every step of the way. He accepted a home renovation project of mine and I was impressed by the work done, even with the weather challenges he and his crew had to overcome. Overall 11/10 rating in quality of work, customer service, pricing, everything. Highly recommend to anyone."

"UCC have done various projects for my church in 2025. UCC is a reliable and dependable company. Detailed work and walks you through each step. Provides great suggestions when needed. I would definitely recommend UCC as a general contractor to handle all of your household/commercial needs."
K White
"Jeff and the UCC team have been absolutely great. They are very respectful, responsive and they have very fair prices. To start, the UCC team helped remodel my basement. I had a lot of questions about the style, design, color etc and Jeff had nothing but patience with me. He helped answer every question I had and provided great recommendations. In addition to doing my basement, the team helped hang up tv's in my living room and basement. They also helped replace both my front and back doors and install storm doors. Overall, Jeff and the UCC team are extremely professional, helpful, fair and do a phenomenal job. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for great contractors."

"Had a really great experience with Ultimate Contractors Corporation on a new construction project. Everything went super smooth from start to finish, and the quality of the work came out even better than I expected. Jeff and the team are awesome to work with. They know what they're doing, stay on top of everything, and actually care about doing a good job. Communication was easy, they showed up when they said they would, and handled everything the right way. It's hard to find a solid, trustworthy crew, but these guys are the real deal. Definitely recommend them if you want the job done right."

Apartment renovations questions, answered

How fast can you turn an apartment unit between tenants?
A standard turnover with paint, flooring, and cleanup often takes about 3 to 7 days, while a unit that needs a new kitchen, bathroom, or fixtures usually runs 1 to 3 weeks. We schedule the trades back to back to cut down empty days, because every week a unit sits vacant is rent you are not collecting. Call (908) 344-2984 and we will give you a realistic turnaround for your unit.
Can you renovate units while the rest of the building stays occupied?
Yes. We do most apartment renovations in occupied buildings, working unit by unit and keeping hallways, entrances, and common areas clean and passable for your other tenants. We protect shared spaces, manage dust and noise, and coordinate access so the rest of the building keeps running while we work.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes, landlords, property managers, and building owners are who we do this work for. We can handle one unit, a block of turnovers, or recurring make-ready work across a portfolio, with clear written pricing and a single point of contact so you are not chasing trades. Many of our property-manager clients hand us their vacancies as soon as a tenant moves out.
Can you renovate a single unit, or do I have to do the whole building?
Either works. We can renovate one apartment unit at a time for a tenant turnover, or take on common areas, hallways, and lobbies as a separate scope. If you are planning whole-building capital work or a ground-up build, we can scope that too, but you never have to bundle a single unit into a bigger project to get on our schedule.
Do you handle permits for apartment renovations?
Yes, when permits are required we handle them. A cosmetic turnover with paint and flooring often does not need a permit, but moving plumbing, electrical, or walls does. As a licensed New Jersey general contractor, we pull the right permits and manage inspections under the NJ Uniform Construction Code so the work is done to code and signed off.
Do you offer financing for apartment renovations?
Yes, financing is available, with flexible options so you can renovate units and get them rent-ready without tying up your cash. Ask about it during your free estimate and we will walk you through what works for your building or portfolio.
What areas do you serve for apartment renovations?
We are based at 185 Johnson Ave in Newark and renovate apartments across 12 New Jersey counties, including Essex, Union, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Mercer, and Sussex, typically within about 45 to 60 minutes of Newark. Call (908) 344-2984 to confirm we cover your building.
How do I get a quote for an apartment renovation?
Call (908) 344-2984 or fill out the quote form on this page with your address and a few details about the unit or common area. We'll get back to you the same business day, walk the space, and put clear pricing in writing with no hidden fees and no obligation.
