About Our Leonia Service
Leoniar's Nearest
Home Improvement Contractor
Tona Home Improvement understands that Leonia’s pre-war housing stock is the defining renovation challenge in the borough. Homes built before 1939 in Leonia contain original plaster walls, wide-plank hardwood floors buried under decades of carpet, non-standard kitchen layouts from the 1920s and 1930s, and bathrooms with period tile and original cast iron fixtures that have never been gut renovated. These properties require a contractor who understands how pre-war construction works from the inside — where load-bearing walls sit, how original plaster behaves during a kitchen or bathroom renovation, and how original hardwood flooring can be uncovered and restored without damaging the subfloor beneath.
Leonia’s pre-war housing stock is the defining renovation challenge in the borough. Homes built before 1939 in Leonia contain original plaster walls, wide-plank hardwood floors buried under decades of carpet, non-standard kitchen layouts from the 1920s and 1930s, and bathrooms with period tile and original cast iron fixtures that have never been gut renovated. These properties require a contractor who understands how pre-war construction works from the inside — where load-bearing walls sit, how original plaster behaves during a kitchen or bathroom renovation, and how to uncover and restore original hardwood flooring without damaging the subfloor beneath.
The post-war homes built in Leonia between 1940 and 1969 carry their own renovation profile. Kitchen layouts from the 1950s and 1960s with original oak cabinetry, laminate countertops, and outdated flooring are the most common scope we encounter. Bathrooms in these properties often feature original builder-era tile, dated fixtures, and plumbing ready for a comprehensive upgrade. Basement finishing is a common feature in Leonia’s mid-century homes, where full-height unfinished basements offer significant untapped living space.
Leonia is a borough we know well. The pre-war colonials and Cape Cods, the mid-century homes on quiet tree-lined streets, and the consistent demand for renovations across a well-educated, renovation-active homeowner base make this one of our most rewarding Bergen County service areas. We treat every Leonia project with the same respect we give the houses themselves.
Tona’s Cliffside Park headquarters means Leonia homeowners receive fast estimate scheduling and no travel fees. We back every project with a lifetime workmanship guarantee and provide free written estimates throughout the borough.
Leonia is one of our most active Bergen County service areas, and we treat every project here as a direct reflection of our local reputation.

Leonia Condo Specialists
Leonia's Condo & High-Rise
Renovation Experts
No other Bergen County contractor has worked across Leonia’s historic housing stock the way Tona has. With nearly 40 percent of homes built before 1939 and another 36 percent constructed between 1940 and 1969, Leonia’s residential renovation market demands experience across two very different construction eras. From original plaster-wall colonials and Cape Cods built in the 1920s and 1930s to the post-war and mid-century single-family homes that define Leonia’s quieter residential blocks, Tona brings the right expertise to every property type in this borough.

Pre-War
DOMINANT BUILD ERA
Leonia’s pre-war homes contain original plaster walls, wide-plank hardwood floors under decades of carpet, non-standard kitchen layouts, and period bathrooms that have never been gut renovated. The borough’s post-war and mid-century stock from the 1940s through the 1960s carries original oak kitchens, dated tile bathrooms, and full-height unfinished basements ready for conversion. Tona handles both scopes throughout Leonia: full kitchen gut renovations in pre-war colonials, complete bathroom tile replacements in mid-century single-family homes, hardwood floor recovery and refinishing throughout both eras, and basement finishing in Leonia’s post-war residential zones.
Leonia’s building department requires permits for kitchen layout changes, bathroom plumbing work, and basement finishing projects. Tona handles all documentation, submits it directly to the borough, and coordinates all required inspections — Leonia homeowners never need to manage the permit process independently.
Pre-War Construction Expertise
Leonia's pre-1939 colonials and Cape Cods are built with original plaster walls, non-standard room dimensions, older plumbing stacks, and wide-plank hardwood floors that require a crew with deep knowledge of historic construction. We assess every pre-war Leonia property before a single tool is picked up and develop a renovation plan that works with the structure rather than against it.
Hardwood Floor Recovery
Leonia's pre-war and early post-war homes contain some of the finest original hardwood flooring in all of Bergen County. Wide-plank oak and fir floors from the 1920s through the 1950s are consistently found beneath layers of carpet and vinyl installed in the 1970s and 1980s. We uncover, assess, sand, and refinish these floors as a complete service — often the single most transformative renovation we complete in a Leonia home.
1950s–1960s Kitchen Specialists
Leonia's mid-century homes are filled with kitchens that have not been touched in 40 to 60 years. Original oak cabinetry, laminate countertops, outdated appliance layouts, and worn flooring are the renovation starting point in these properties. We handle full gut renovations with semi-custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and hardwood or LVP flooring as one complete coordinated project.
Neighbor-Considerate Work Practices
Leonia's tree-lined residential streets sit in a quiet, established neighborhood setting where homes sit on generous lots and neighbors notice everything. Our crew works clean on every project: dust containment at every work zone, daily site cleanup, no early-morning power tool use, and protected driveways and walkways throughout all material delivery phases.
Leonia Permit Handling
Kitchen renovations involving layout changes, bathroom plumbing work, and basement finishing projects in Leonia require Borough of Leonia Building Department permits. Tona prepares all documentation, submits directly to the building department, and coordinates all required inspections as a standard part of every project in the borough.

Leonia Neighborhoods We Know & Serve
We have worked in every part of Leonia, from the pre-war residential streets near the historic core to the mid-century single-family blocks and the quieter residential zones near the Palisades Park and Fort Lee borders. Here is what makes each area of Leonia distinct for home renovation.
Historic Core & Central Leonia
PRE-WAR COLONIALS & CAPE CODS · 07605
Leonia’s oldest and most architecturally distinctive residential zone. Pre-war colonials, Cape Cods, and classic frame homes built primarily before 1939 with original plaster walls, wide-plank hardwood floors, and kitchens and bathrooms unchanged since construction. The most technically demanding renovation work in the borough comes from this neighborhood, and Tona’s pre-war expertise is most consistently applied here.

Post-War Residential Blocks
MID-CENTURY SINGLE-FAMILY · 07605
Leonia’s mid-century residential zone built primarily between 1940 and 1969. Single-family colonials, Cape Cods, and ranches with original 1950s and 1960s kitchens, dated tile bathrooms, and unfinished basements represent the dominant scope of renovations here. Full kitchen gut renovations, complete bathroom tile replacements, and basement finishing projects are consistently active throughout these blocks.

What Edgewater Homeowners Say
About Tona
Real reviews from Leonia, NJ homeowners across the East Hill, mid-century residential, and downtown-adjacent neighborhoods.
★★★★★
“We have a 1928 colonial on a quiet street in Leonia that had its original kitchen layout completely intact — a galley with painted cabinets from the 1940s, laminate counters, and linoleum over beautiful original hardwood. Tona completely gut-renovated the kitchen: custom painted shaker cabinetry, honed quartz countertops, a handmade ceramic tile backsplash, and they uncovered and refinished the original wide-plank oak throughout the kitchen and connecting dining room. They understood the house from the very first visit. The result is exactly right for the property.”
PJ
Patricia and James W.Leonia, NJ
Pre-War Colonial, Kitchen Remodeling
★★★★★
“Our mid-century ranch in Leonia had a full unfinished basement that we had never touched in 15 years of ownership. Tona converted it into a family room with a dedicated home office corner. Full framing, moisture-resistant drywall, waterproof LVP flooring, recessed lighting throughout, a custom built-in media wall, and a complete interior paint job. They pulled the Leonia permit, managed every phase, and delivered on time and on budget. Outstanding work.”
RC
Robert and Claire M.Leonia, NJ
Mid-Century Ranch, Basement Finishingn
★★★★★
“Our 1950s colonial had two bathrooms with original tile and fixtures that had never been renovated. Tona did a complete gut renovation of the master bath: floor-to-ceiling large-format porcelain tile, a walk-in frameless glass shower with a rainhead and recessed niche, a freestanding soaking tub, a double vanity with a quartz countertop, and heated tile floors. The craftsmanship is exceptional. They also handled the Leonia permit and finished exactly on schedule.”
