Backed by owner Ed Damiano's background as a licensed general contractor and real estate professional, we understand how to build spaces that work harder and hold their value.

OUR SERVICES
Design And Construction Under One Roof For Morris County Homes
Kitchen Remodeling
Layouts redrawn around how you actually cook, then built out with new cabinetry, counters, tile, lighting, and appliance circuits. Walls come out where the plan calls for it and the header gets sized properly.
Bathroom Remodeling
Waterproofing detailed first, then tile, glass, vanities, fixtures, and ventilation that genuinely moves air outside. Tub-to-shower conversions, powder rooms, hall baths, and full primary suites all handled the same careful way.
Home Remodeling
Whole floors reworked rather than single rooms refreshed. Bearing walls removed with engineered openings, staircases relocated, second levels rebuilt around a suite, and finishes carried consistently across the entire house.
Home Renovation
Older houses brought current inside their existing footprint. Original trim and floors preserved where they deserve it, tired systems replaced, and windows, insulation, and finishes updated without erasing what makes the house good.
Basement Finishing
Moisture, grading, and drainage settled before a single stud goes up. Then framing, insulation, egress where a bedroom is planned, a bathroom or wet bar, and lighting laid out for a low ceiling.
Deck Building
Footings dug below the frost line and inspected before concrete, ledgers flashed and lagged to code, and framing sized for the span. Composite, cedar, PVC, or hardwood surfaces above that structure.
Home Additions
Rear extensions, second stories, primary suites, bump-outs, and in-law space, each starting with a setback and lot coverage review. Roof lines matched so the finished house reads as one building.
New Home Construction
Raw land or a teardown site taken from feasibility study and foundation through framing, systems, and finishes. Agency approvals tracked in parallel so the permit lands when the site is ready.
Roofing
Full tear-off to the deck, sheathing repaired where it has failed, ice barrier and underlayment installed correctly, and every wall junction, valley, and chimney flashed new. Attic ventilation corrected as part of it.
Design-Build Services
One contract covering the design, the pricing, the permits, and the construction. Numbers get attached to drawings while they are still on paper, so nobody discovers the budget after the plan is finished.
Quality Comes First
Craftsmanship That Answers To The Appraisal
Remodeling money can be spent twice, once on the work and once on undoing it, and the difference usually comes down to who was making the decisions. We come at every project from two directions at once, as a licensed general contractor and from a background in residential real estate, so a proposal is judged on what it does for your daily life and on what it does for the property. That is why we talk you out of a finish that dates quickly, and why we push you toward the wall that should come out.
01
01 Design And Construction Under One Agreement
The team that draws your project is the team that builds it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff. One schedule, one itemized proposal, and one number to call throughout.
02
02 Choices Weighed Against What The House Is Worth
Every recommendation is tested against the equity it protects or creates. We would rather guide you toward the change that pays you back later than sell you the upgrade that only photographs well this season.

OUR PROCESS
No surprises. No shortcuts. Just a project done right.
We built our process around the things homeowners told us mattered most: clear communication, realistic timelines, and a finished result they would be proud to show off.
01
Consultation & Vision
Before anything else, we listen. We want to understand your goals, your timeline, and what success actually looks like for you before we ever put pen to paper. Because a home built on the wrong assumptions is just an expensive mistake
02
Design & Planning
We build the plan around your vision, not the other way around. Every layout, material, and finish gets discussed and agreed on before construction begins. No surprises, no last-minute changes, and no decisions made without you.
03
Construction
Our licensed and insured crew gets to work with the kind of precision and care that does not cut corners to save time. The work we deliver looks great on day one and holds up a decade later.
04
Final Walkthrough & Handoff
We do not consider a project done until you do. We walk every inch of the finished space together, address anything that is not exactly right, and hand over a home you are genuinely proud to move into.
Build Equity Into Every Room You Remodel in Mendham, NJ
Homes in Mendham Borough carry some of the strongest values in Morris County, and interiors do not always keep pace with what the address is worth. d - Home Design and Build closes that gap, remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, finishing basements, building decks and additions, and constructing entirely new homes. We work as a design-build team, which means the drawing, the budget, the permits, and the trades all sit under one single agreement rather than three separate ones. Every project runs from the first consultation through to the final walk-through with one point of accountability, serving homeowners across Mendham, NJ, and the surrounding towns.
FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What should a home improvement contract include in New Jersey?
Home improvement contracts in New Jersey must be in writing and signed by both parties, and must state the scope of work, the principal products and materials by make and model, the total price, and the start and completion dates.
Who is responsible for pulling permits, the homeowner or the contractor?
Your contractor should be handling the applications and the inspections as part of the job. Homeowners who pull their own permits accept responsibility for the work themselves, which can affect warranty coverage and legal protection if something later goes wrong.
Do I need a permit for home improvements in New Jersey?
Structural changes, new electrical or plumbing, additions, decks, and finished basements all require permits. Purely cosmetic work such as painting or replacing an existing floor generally does not. Some smaller items qualify as minor work with a simplified filing.
What time of year is best to start a home improvement project?
Interior work runs well all year-round. Exterior projects such as decks, additions, and roofing prefer spring through fall, though foundations get poured in cold weather routinely. Starting the design in winter positions you for a spring construction start.
