We pull credentials from the official registries ourselves and print the date next to every status — kitchen and bath remodeling in NJ falls under the state's Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration, required under the Contractor's Registration Act for any home improvement contract over $500. Registration numbers follow the format 13VH##########, must appear on all contracts/estimates/ads, and are issued on a 2-year renewal cycle. Verify any contractor's registration status live at the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs lookup: https://newjersey.mylicense.com/verification/Search.aspx?facility=Y (search by business name).. Picks are editorial judgment on the checkable record: years in the trade, complaint patterns, review consistency, real presence in the county. No company paid to be listed, none can pay to become a pick, and when a pick has a weak spot we print it. Here are the full rules.

Registry status comes straight from the state's verification system on the date shown, and you can rerun any number there yourself in about two minutes. Review scores are what the named platforms report and we have not audited them. BBB grades as of July 2026. "Based in" is the registered address city, which sometimes differs from where a company says it operates. An active registration is the floor, not an endorsement; the picks we would actually call are above.
Full bathroom remodel: roughly $18,000-$35,000 in NJ (mid-range projects trend $25,000-$50,000); full kitchen remodel: roughly $30,000-$90,000. NJ construction costs run about 30% above the national average. Source: Fixr.com, "How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in New Jersey in 2026?"

Yes, if the job moves plumbing or electrical, touches a structural wall, or adds square footage. Check with your township's construction office before work starts — a legitimate contractor pulls this permit for you. Fixr's 2026 NJ data puts typical permit costs at roughly $172 to $459.
There's no single legal cap, but the honest pattern is a modest deposit up front (enough to order materials) with the rest tied to completed work stages. A contractor asking for half or more of the total price before any work begins is the most common complaint pattern in this trade — don't do it.
Based on 2026 NJ pricing data from Fixr, a full bathroom remodel typically runs about $18,000 to $35,000, and a full kitchen remodel about $30,000 to $90,000 depending on scope and finishes. NJ construction costs run roughly 30% above the national average, so treat national online calculators as low.
