(973) 339-3994Residential & Commercial Construction Company in Montclair, NJ
Montclair has tree-lined streets, historic homes, and busy business districts. But many of these properties were built for a different era. Layouts feel cramped, systems are dated, and space is tight.
Sungu Development LLC is a construction company in Montclair, NJ. We build and renovate homes and commercial spaces with honest pricing, clear communication, and work that gets finished on time. That includes custom homes, luxury builds, remodeling, additions, commercial construction, and mixed-use development.
Why Do Montclair Properties Need a Careful Builder?
Many Montclair homes are historic Victorians, Colonials, and Tudors. A 1920s Victorian has charm, but it may also have a cramped kitchen, closed-off rooms, and bathrooms last updated in the 1980s. A 1950s colonial ranch may sit on a great lot with only one story.
Older commercial buildings have their own problems, like tight floor plans and aging systems. Good renovation means updating what needs it and protecting what makes Montclair special.
What Residential Construction Do We Handle in Montclair?
Custom Home Builders
Building from scratch is less common here than renovating, but more owners are doing it. Have an architect? We build from your plans. Need help refining the concept? We can do that too.
We manage permits, inspections, and coordination with Montclair’s building department. Your home gets proper framing, sealed foundations, efficient HVAC, and modern plumbing.
Luxury Home Builders
Upper Montclair and the Estate Section attract owners who care about detail. We build with premium materials and custom finishes:
- Custom cabinetry, stone counters, and architectural millwork
- Spa-style primary suites with heated floors and soaking tubs
- Open layouts that still respect the home’s character
- Decks, patios, and other outdoor living areas

Home Remodeling: Kitchens and Bathrooms
Most Montclair owners are improving homes they already love. In kitchens, we remove walls, add islands, and install custom cabinets, flooring, and lighting. In bathrooms, we handle full gut remodels, waterproofing, proper ventilation, and accessible layouts for aging in place.
Home Additions and Second-Story Expansions
Need more bedrooms or a primary suite away from the kids’ rooms? A second story, side addition, attic finish, or basement conversion gives you space without leaving the neighborhood. We first confirm your foundation can support the addition.
