About Our Union City Service
Union City's Nearest
Home Improvement Contractor
Tona Home Improvement understands that Union City, New Jersey, is a Hudson County city with a population of 67,936 and a population density of over 53,000 people per square mile — making it one of the most densely populated municipalities in the United States. Its housing stock is defined by age, density, and a deeply urban residential character. Approximately 55 percent of Union City’s housing units were built before 1960, and roughly 32 percent of the entire stock was constructed in 1939 or earlier. This pre-war and early post-war inventory — composed primarily of multi-family apartment buildings, walk-up flats, and older residential structures — defines the renovation demand that Tona Home Improvement’s crew encounters throughout the city.
The renovation profile of Union City’s older housing stock is driven by the age of the buildings. Pre-war and early post-war apartment units contain original plaster walls, older plumbing stacks, non-standard kitchen layouts, and bathrooms with period tile and cast iron fixtures. Many kitchens have not been touched since the buildings were constructed, with original cabinetry, laminate countertops, and flooring that dates back several decades. Full kitchen gut renovations with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and durable LVP or tile flooring are the most consistent renovation scope in Union City’s older multi-family and walk-up inventory.
Union City’s newer condo market — built from the late 2000s through the 2010s — brings a different renovation demand. Units with builder-grade kitchens, dated finishes, and original flooring that has never been updated are now reaching the stage where a focused interior renovation delivers significant return. Compact kitchen configurations, bathroom upgrades, and full-unit interior repaints are the most common scopes in these buildings.
Union City’s renovation market is defined by two very different housing eras sitting within the same dense urban grid. Pre-war walk-ups and apartment buildings with decades of deferred renovation work on one side, and newer condo units with original builder finishes on the other. Our crew has experience in both, and we bring that dual expertise to every project we take on in Union City.
Tona reaches Union City from our Cliffside Park base quickly via the Palisades corridor. We offer same-day and next-day estimate scheduling throughout the city with no travel fees and back every project with our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Union City is one of our most active Bergen County service areas, and we treat every project here as a direct reflection of our local reputation.

Union City Condo Specialists
Union City's Condo & High-Rise
Renovation Experts
No other Bergen County contractor understands Union City’s full renovation landscape the way Tona does. Approximately 55 percent of Union City’s housing was built before 1960, with 32 percent dating to 1939 or earlier. These pre-war and early post-war buildings carry a renovation backlog that requires specific construction knowledge and careful planning. At the same time, Union City’s newer condo market — launched in earnest with the 2008 completion of The Thread, the city’s first high-rise condo tower — has added a growing inventory of mid-rise and high-rise units that are now entering their renovation cycle. Tona serves both ends of this market throughout Union City.

DOMINANT BUILD ERA
Union City’s pre-war and post-war kitchen and bathroom renovation demand is steady and deep. Original plaster walls, non-standard kitchen layouts, older tile bathrooms, and flooring that has not been replaced in decades are the renovation starting point in a large percentage of the city’s residential buildings. The newer condo stock brings compact builder-grade kitchens, dated tile bathrooms, and original flooring ready for a first-ever renovation cycle. Tona handles both consistently in Union City: full kitchen gut renovations in pre-war walk-up apartments, complete bathroom tile replacements in older multi-family buildings, and focused kitchen and bathroom upgrades in post-2007 condo units throughout the city.
Building management coordination and condo board approval processes are standard elements of renovation work in Union City’s newer buildings. Tona handles all documentation, COI submissions, elevator scheduling, and permit coordination as part of every project.
Pre-War Building Expertise
Union City's pre-1939 residential buildings contain original plaster walls, non-standard room dimensions, older plumbing stacks, and construction methods that require a crew with genuine knowledge of pre-war urban residential work. We assess every Union City pre-war project carefully before a single tool is picked up and develop a plan that works with the building rather than against it.
Pre-War Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen layouts in Union City's pre-war and post-war apartment units were designed for a different era of cooking and living. Original cabinetry, laminate countertops, and floor materials from the 1940s through the 1960s are the starting point on most of these projects. We execute full gut renovations with semi-custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and durable LVP or tile flooring as a single coordinated project.
Building Management Coordination
Union City's newer condo and mid-rise buildings require board approval, certificate of insurance submission, elevator scheduling, and work-order documentation before renovation can begin. Tona handles all building management coordination as a standard part of every Union City condo renovation — applications, COI submissions, elevator access, and all required documentation.
Urban-Appropriate Work Practices
Union City is one of the densest residential environments in the country, where neighbors are immediately adjacent and building operations never stop. Our crew works within approved building hours, uses dust containment systems on every job, cleans daily, and ensures common hallways and shared spaces remain fully presentable throughout every project.
Union City Permit Handling
Kitchen renovations involving layout changes, bathroom plumbing work, and other structural modifications in Union City require City of Union City building permits. Tona prepares all documentation, submits directly to the building department, and coordinates all required inspections as a standard part of every project throughout the city.

What Union City Homeowners Say
About Tona
Real reviews from real customers across Bergen County, Hudson County, and Essex County, NJ.
★★★★★
“Our apartment in Union City was in a pre-war building and the kitchen had never been renovated — original cabinetry from the 1940s, a cracked laminate counter, and linoleum over what turned out to be hardwood floors. Tona did a complete gut renovation: semi-custom shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and they uncovered and refinished the original hardwood throughout the kitchen and living area. They understood how to work in the pre-war building and the result is stunning.”

Carmen and Luis R.Union City, NJ
Pre-War Apartment, Kitchen Remodeling
★★★★★
“We bought a condo in one of Union City’s newer buildings and the bathroom had original builder tile that we wanted completely replaced. Tona did a full gut renovation: large-format porcelain tile floor to ceiling, a frameless glass walk-in shower with a rain head, a floating vanity with quartz, and all new fixtures. They handled the COI submission and elevator booking through our building management, and the entire project was done in two weeks. Excellent work.”

★★★★★
“We hired Tona to renovate our Union City apartment from top to bottom — full kitchen gut, bathroom tile replacement, hardwood floor refinishing throughout, new drywall where needed, and a full interior repaint. They managed the Union City permit, supervised all trades, and delivered a complete result in five weeks. Our apartment looks like a completely different space. We recommend them to everyone in the building.”
