Pangione Developers Inc

We recently completed a project with Pangione Developers Inc (PDI) to transform our old 1950's cape cod home into a modern colonial style residence. From the start of the process it was clear that working with PDI was going to be different than the other contractors that we received bids from. PDI's knowledge and command of "add a level" projects is nothing short but impressive. To support this statement you simply need to check out their YouTube channel which has around 700 short videos showcasing various stages of their projects (including a number of videos of my home).

The communication and responsiveness from PDI throughout the project was excellent. There was never a moment where we were left wondering what was going on. The coordination and scheduling of the trades was also very impressive. There were days where PDI had 5 separate crews working simultaneously on site.

The speed and quality of craftsmanship were also very important to us as we are expecting a child and needed the project completed quickly but done well. This is an area where PDI shines. They removed the old roof (along with our entire second floor), built the new 2nd floor structure and then had the new roof installed (fully shingled) and sheeting completed within 5 days! The entire project took only about 12 weeks and we could not be happier with the outcome. A number of our friends/family have visited since completion and were absolutely stunned with the transformation. A few even encouraged us to submit before and after photos to magazines as it could easily be featured in one.

Overall, I would highly recommend considering PDI if you are looking for any major construction project on your home. We have already recommended PDI to a number of our friends who are in similar situations with growing families that need more space.

A very happy PDI customer

Pangione Developers completed an add-a-level, second story addition, and complete first floor home renovation at our home recently. Working with Pangione Developers was the best decision we could've made for this huge project. We would definitely recommend Pangione Developers and will use them again in the future if we decide to do any other home additions or remodeling.
To better understand our project, our house was a cape cod style that originally had two bedrooms and one bath on the second level. We decided to do an add-a-level job where we took off the entire second floor of the home and went vertical around the entire outer walls converting our house into more of a colonial style. We now have four bedrooms, two baths, and a laundry room on the second floor. We ended up going over our garage as well. Our master bedroom is huge and has a master bath with a huge double shower, two walk in closets, and a third closet. On the first floor, we gutted everything and turned it more into an open layout. A new kitchen (which is two and a half times bigger), new bathroom, added in a fireplace to the living room, all new hardwood flooring, new drywall, etc. The house has all new windows and a new front portico and stoop were put in. We now have central air and have separate HVAC systems for the first floor and second floor. Minus the basement, foundation, and outer first floor walls, everything in the house is brand new. We also now have a huge attic.
When we started the process, we did our research and met with a few [redacted] Contractors and other New Jersey general contractors to hear their ideas and to bid out the job. Dave Pangione had a phone conversation with us to get our ideas and was able to look online at our house to come up with ideas. Shortly there after, he met us at our house with a project bid and went through each and every step with us so we fully understood what the job would entail. By doing it this way, he was also able to answer any of our questions right away and also walked around our home with us to point things out.
Prior to receiving all of the bids, my wife really liked our interaction with Dave and felt he would be a good fit. His bid ended up being the lowest as well, which was a huge positive. We watched and reviewed his hundreds of YouTube videos to get a firm understanding of how his team works and what to expect. Having these videos was a huge comfort. No other companies have anything like this for you to see. We also followed up with other homeowners that were in the process of a home renovation project with Pangione Developers and one that was recently completed. The reviews we received from these individuals were fantastic. That sealed the deal with us. We selected Pangione Developers to be our home addition contractor.
Dave met with us in person and reviewed the entire contract, reading every word, so we understood everything. Dave then met with us, along with his architect to take measurements and discuss everything in the job so the plans would be as close to what we want on the first draft. We had a couple of changes but were amazed at how awesome the new second floor and first floor plans were. Dave and his architect made the changes quickly and got them over to the town once they were approved by us.
Pangione Developers was fast. They came in and turned the job around as quickly as possible. Most people thought I was crazy when I gave them the schedule and when the job would be completed. Most laughed and said good luck, you'll be lucky to be in by the holidays. Well, Pangione delivered when they said they would. Our family and neighbors were amazed. All I kept hearing was how quickly things were being done. Now sometimes people think quick means cutting corners. Not with Pangione. Our bank inspector was amazed at how thorough the job was done. He would comment on areas where Pangione did more than what the standards were. Our town building inspector raved about the job Pangione Developers did. He had nothing but good things to say about Dave and his team. He said his job would be a lot easier if other contractors worked with the town and did the job correctly like they did. I have had more neighbors, many who I did not know, come up to me since we have moved back in to tell us how beautiful our home is.
The experience Dave has in the industry shows. When we asked him for recommendations for kitchen cabinet, countertops, tile, fireplace, glass shower door suppliers/companies, he would give us a few to review. They were all great and their pricing was very good. It is a huge help to have someone as knowledgeable as Dave when you are undertaking a huge project like this.
To also show you the type of guy Dave is and how he wants to deliver the best product to his customers, he ended up upgraded or throwing things in for free because he wanted us to be as happy as possible. That is something you rarely see nowadays. It's normally just about making every dollar that you can. It made us feel even better that we selected someone that truly cared about the job he was doing for us.
I have to say, the best part of working with Dave Pangione and Pangione Developers was how quickly Dave responded to any of my questions. I prefer to communicate via email with projects like this so I have everything in writing. In most instances, Dave replied back to me within minutes to answer my questions. The longest it ever took was probably a few hours. Talk about professionalism, you don't see that in this industry. He also picked up his phone any time I called him. No matter what it was, Dave was on it. You will not find a contractor that is better communicating with their customers than Dave Pangione.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Pangione Developers and Dave. I would highly recommend him to anyone else looking at doing a home addition, remodeling, or add-a-level type project. Thank you Dave and Pangione Developers for creating the home of our dreams.

We met with four local contractors before selecting Pangione Developers to add a level to our existing ranch-style home. The final decision was not based on financial considerations – all estimates we received were comparable – but from customer reviews and recommendations and the extensive information offered on their website.
PDI is a one-stop developer, managed with precision and great attention to detail by Dave Pangione. From architectural plans to final inspections, this contractor promises AND delivers. His work crews are specialized, were always on time, respectful and a pleasure to work with. Mr. Pangione is not an absentee contractor. He was the first on-site in the morning, and, if not working along side his crew, returned several times a day to oversee construction, and was last on premise at night to ensure the site was safe and broom clean. Mr. Pangione left no stone unturned when it came to providing the best affordable product, equipment and materials used during construction. He is a hand holder from concept to certificate of occupancy. We highly recommend this company to any family planning a construction project.

We added an additional bedroom and master bath to our home in 2013(added ~550sq. ft.). [redacted], Inc came in with the absolute best price, and we did extensive searching.
David told us it would take ~3months start to finish, with a specific budget. He was finished on time, on budget, and the work was spectacular. He quickly accommodated all of our requests throughout the project, there were absolutely NO surprises... we couldn't be happier with the work he provided.
I would recommend his company to anyone looking for an addition to their home, he was a home run for us!!!

I highly recommend [redacted] Developers for any of your home remodeling projects! I used David [redacted] about 2 years ago on a very large addition/remodel, for my cape in Saddle Brook (new garage and 1500 sf 2nd floor addition). Upon receiving many quotes from multiple companies I knew [redacted] was "the one". Not because of his price, but his confidence of getting the job done and in a timely manner. I emailed David my current blue prints and within 24 hours I had a solid quote. Once the project started everything went smooth, and there was progress on a daily basis. The whole job overall only took about 10 weeks, and I can honestly say we had no issues along the way. David is very professional and he knows what he's doing, also he personally over sees everything and makes sure the job is running smooth. Any questions or concerns I had, I called him direct on his cell phone and he handled it. One of the things I really liked is he provides a architect if needed, and also handles all permits and paper work with the town. My wife and I are extremely happy with the way our home came out, and have already recommended [redacted] to friends.

Best decision we ever made to go with Pangione. On Budget And On Time !!

We recently did an add-a-level with Dave Pangione and I couldn't have been more pleased. We needed to overhaul the entire second floor and open up the current footprint on the first floor. Th scope of the job was not to be taken likely as it affected the entire house top to bottom. My husband lined up six contractors to interview and each one was talented, but we didn't find the right fit until we met Dave. He spoke about projects he had done and ones he was working on currently. There was something about how he renovated his childhood home and the passion about his work that came out in that interview. Then his ideas were perfectly aligned with ours. He was even able to hit the exact price point for us as well. The work was started on time and truly took the 13 weeks that he had said it would. Dave was on top of the permit process and what we needed to pick out and have ready while being the utmost professional. He even referred us to some excellent vendors for our cabinets, countertops, new fireplace, etc. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We still have walkers, runners, and neighbors stop by and ask who did our house and ask for his number. I would say that we would use him again in a heartbeat, but he did such a good job overhauling the house. I don't think we'll need him again for a very, very long time.
