FAQ

Answers to common questions

What does a kitchen or bathroom remodel cost in North Jersey?

+

Most bathroom remodels in our area run $18,000–$45,000 and kitchens typically range $35,000–$90,000+ depending on size, layout changes and material selections. We walk every project scope line by line before you commit.

How long does a remodel take?

+

A bathroom generally takes 2–4 weeks, a kitchen 5–8 weeks once materials are on site, and a whole-home renovation 3–6 months. New builds and large additions are scheduled after design and permitting, usually 6–12 months.

Do you handle design, permits and inspections?

+

Yes. We help with layout and material selection, pull the required municipal permits, coordinate licensed electrical and plumbing trades, and manage every inspection through final sign-off.

How much does driveway sealcoating cost in NJ?

+

Most residential driveway sealcoating projects in New Jersey run $250–$600 depending on square footage, condition and crack repair needed. Commercial parking lots are quoted per square foot. Every estimate is free and in writing.

When is the best time to sealcoat in New Jersey?

+

Late spring through early fall — daytime temperatures above 55°F with 24 hours of dry weather after application. In NJ that's typically May through mid-October.

How long does sealcoating last?

+

A properly applied two-coat sealcoat lasts 2–3 years on residential driveways and 1–2 years on high-traffic commercial parking lots. Regular sealcoating can double the lifespan of your asphalt.

Do you handle commercial parking lots and HOA properties?

+

Yes. We work with property managers, HOAs, retail centers, warehouses, medical offices and multi-family properties throughout North Jersey — including sealcoating, line striping, ADA-compliant stalls, and full paving.

Is GDL Exterior Solutions licensed and insured?

+

Yes. GDL Exterior Solutions is fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial exterior work in New Jersey. Certificates of insurance are available on request for commercial clients.

How soon can you start a project?

+

For most residential jobs we can schedule within 1–2 weeks during the busy May–October season. Emergency repairs (potholes, safety issues on commercial lots) can often be handled within 48 hours.
