Restaurant build-outs in Newark, NJ, handled start to finish
A restaurant build-out turns a raw shell or a tired old space into a working restaurant, from the commercial kitchen, hood, and grease systems to the dining room, bar, and storefront, all planned, permitted, and built by our licensed team.

- Your business keeps running
We phase the work around your hours and seal off the dust, so you stay open and operating while we build.
- On time, as promised
A realistic schedule in writing before we start, updates at every stage, and we hold to it so you open on time.
- No hidden costs
The full price up front with no surprise fees, plus financing to help you open sooner.

Quick answers about restaurant build-outs

Demolition, framing, the commercial kitchen, hood and make-up air, fire suppression, grease trap, gas, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, flooring, finishes, the bar, ADA restrooms, storefronts, and the dining room, plus permits, trades, inspections, and the health sign-off, all under our licensed team.
Best for
Newark and New Jersey restaurant, cafe, bar, and quick-service owners opening a new location or reworking an existing space, whether that is a quick kitchen refit, a full dining-room redesign, or a raw shell built out from the slab.
Typical timeline
Most restaurant build-outs run about 8 to 16 weeks on site. A light refit of an existing kitchen finishes sooner, a raw shell with a new hood, gas, and utilities takes longer. We give you a realistic schedule up front and stick to it.

"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."
"Excellent service from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail. They answered all my questions, kept me updated throughout the project, and delivered high-quality work. It's hard to find contractors you can truly trust, and this company exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and professional contracting services."
"Jefferson and his crew did a fantastic job on my warehouse in Newark NJ. They are very reasonable and very clean. Highly recommend him and his guys for any type of repair work."
"Great company! They provided a professional service, explained what the job entailed, did the job efficiently, and provided a good price. Thanks!!!"
"I cannot recommend them enought. I am a busy person with a family and I had a severe unexpected plumbing issue with my bathroom. I am not a handyman by any means. I started calling companies and they either stopped replying or wanted my to charge me crazy amounts. I was frustrated. I friend recommended me to this place and I am very thankful. They helped me right away and explained me all I needed to know about the price I was been charge. Specifically that guy tommy. He is a man of a few words. However, was really nice and professional. REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE"
"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."
"Phenomenal job from concept to creation and implementation. Solid and reliable work finishing on time, on target and on budget. Jeff helped me designed my kitchen. I was on the fence originally because my cabinets were not old. But once completed, I'm glad I replaced it. Definitely increased the value of the property."
