About Our Livingston Service
Livingston's Nearest
Home Improvement Contractor
Tona Home Improvement understands that Livingston, New Jersey, is one of Essex County’s most prestigious and consistently sought-after residential townships. With a population of approximately 31,488, a median household income of $229,806 — among the highest in all of New Jersey — and a housing stock that is 88.8 percent single-family detached homes, Livingston represents a renovation market at the top end of what the state offers. The township’s most desirable residential sections — Bel Air, Bel Air Woods, Coventry, and Chestnut Hill — carry home prices starting at $2 million, with substantial renovation investment expectations throughout. Livingston homeowners do not renovate to sell.
Livingston’s housing stock tells the story of its renovation demand precisely. The majority of the township’s single-family homes were built between 1940 and 1969, with a significant number constructed before 1940 as well. These are large, well-maintained colonials, centre-hall Tudors, and classic New Jersey ranch homes on generous lots with ample square footage, full unfinished or under-utilised basements, multiple bathrooms, and kitchens that, despite original quality, are increasingly ready for a comprehensive renovation.
Livingston is also a township where renovation is a standard part of homeownership rather than an exception. Bidding wars, low inventory, and buyers arriving from New York City, Hoboken, and Jersey City have kept demand for high-quality renovation consistently elevated throughout the township. New owners renovate upon purchase. Long-term owners upgrade as their families grow. Investors preparing for sale invest in premium kitchen and bathroom renovations because the Livingston market rewards quality finishes at every price point.
Livingston is one of New Jersey’s premier renovation markets and one of our most rewarding service areas. The homes are large, the materials are premium, the expectations are high, and the projects are comprehensive. We bring the same organized process and the same lifetime guarantee to every Livingston project that we bring to every home we work in across Bergen and Essex County.
Tona provides free written estimates throughout Livingston, handles permit documentation when required, and backs every project with our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

DOMINANT BUILD ERA
Livingston’s mid-century and pre-war colonial and Tudor homes carry original kitchens that — despite their original quality — are now decades overdue for a comprehensive gut renovation. Multiple bathrooms in these homes carry original tile, dated fixtures, and plumbing configurations ready for a complete transformation. Full-height basements sit unfinished beneath homes where the above-grade living areas have been carefully maintained but the lower level has never been addressed.
Livingston renovation projects involving kitchen layout changes, bathroom plumbing modifications, and basement finishing require Essex County and Township of Livingston building permits. Tona prepares all documentation, submits directly to the township building department, and coordinates every required inspection as a standard part of every project in Livingston.
Large Colonial & Tudor Expertise
Livingston's residential character is defined by large mid-century colonials, center-hall Tudors, and generous ranch homes built primarily between 1940 and 1969. These properties carry wide-open floor plans, multiple bathrooms, large kitchens with generous footprints, and full basements — and they require a contractor with the project management capability to handle comprehensive multi-room renovation scopes. Our crew delivers exactly that throughout Livingston.
Premium Hardwood Floor Refinishing & Installation
Livingston's mid-century and pre-war homes consistently carry original wide-plank hardwood floors in exceptional original condition beneath decades of carpet and vinyl. These floors — white oak, red oak, and fir from the 1940s through the 1960s — represent some of the finest original hardwood in all of Essex County. We uncover, assess, sand, and refinish them as a complete service.
Custom Kitchen Renovation Specialists
Livingston kitchens are large, well-configured, and ready for a premium transformation. Original builder kitchens from the 1950s and 1960s in the township's colonial and Tudor homes are replaced with custom cabinetry with full-extension soft-close hardware, honed quartz or marble countertops, handmade or large-format tile backsplash, professional-grade appliance integration, and wide-plank hardwood or engineered wood flooring. We deliver every component of this scope as one coordinated project.
Finished Basements — Livingston's Largest Untapped Space
Livingston's large colonial and ranch homes carry some of Essex County's most spacious unfinished basements. Full-height, generously sized, and structurally sound, these lower levels are ready to become family rooms, home theaters, gyms, wine cellars, and dedicated home offices. We complete Livingston basement finishing projects with premium materials — LVP flooring, moisture-resistant drywall, recessed lighting, custom built-ins.
Livingston Permit Handling
Kitchen layout changes, bathroom plumbing modifications, and basement finishing projects in Livingston require Township of Livingston Building Department permits. Tona prepares all documentation, submits directly to the township, and manages every required inspection as a standard part of every project.

What Newark Homeowners Say
About Tona
Real reviews from real customers across Bergen County, Hudson County, and Essex County, NJ.
★★★★★
“We have a large 1958 center-hall colonial in Livingston with a kitchen that still had its original cabinetry, laminate countertops, and vinyl flooring. Tona did a complete gut renovation: full custom painted shaker cabinetry with interior lighting, a honed Calacatta quartz countertop, handmade terracotta tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink, professional-grade appliance integration, and wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood that flows from the kitchen through the breakfast room and into the family room. They handled the township permit, scheduled every phase perfectly, and finished in five weeks. The kitchen is absolutely extraordinary.”
JL
Jennifer and Robert A.Livingston, NJ
1958 Colonial, Full Kitchen Gut Renovation
★★★★★
“Our master bathroom in Livingston had original builder tile from 1963 — never touched in 60 years. Tona did a complete transformation: floor-to-ceiling large-format Grigio Orobico marble tile, a full walk-in shower with a frameless glass enclosure, a rain head with body sprays and a recessed niche, a freestanding Carrara marble soaking tub, a double vanity with a honed marble countertop, heated floors throughout, and all new brushed unlacquered brass fixtures. The craftsmanship is among the finest we have seen in any renovation project in Livingston. Tona managed the permit, stayed exactly on schedule, and delivered everything they promised.”

Catherine and William P.Livingston, NJ
Mid-Century Colonial, Master Bathroom Transformation
★★★★★
“We had an enormous unfinished basement under our Livingston Tudor that we had never used in twelve years. Tona converted the entire lower level into a family room, a dedicated home office, a gym, and a wine storage room. Full framing, moisture-resistant drywall, wide-plank LVP flooring throughout, recessed lighting in every zone, a custom built-in entertainment and storage wall, a wet bar with quartz countertop, and a complete interior repaint in a warm charcoal gray. They handled the Livingston township permit from start to finish. The finished basement looks and feels like a high-end living floor.”
