Northeast Regional Remodeling, John Zerbini Construction Fraud, Unsafe Construction, Major Fire Code Violations Caldwell New Jersey
I hired this company in 2007.
The work that was done on my home left my home unsafe and to this day breaks my heart. Some examples of the "work" done include: windows not sealed, plywood left around new windows leaving our home exposed to the elements, the deck remains unlevel, the deck roof supports were cracked, one window was not even measured to meet fire code, and some windows do not even have serial numbers registered with the manufacturer.
This company is NOT accredited with the BBB and from my experience with this company the work on my home I can only assume explains why. John Zerbini refused to respond to both the BBB and myself...since 2007.
We continue to attempt to recover from what was done to our home and even now 8 years later our windows need to be replaced bc the seals are broken. The amount of money spent on repairs I do not even want to add it up.
The work was so badly done and obviously unsafe that we had to fire him after paying him $23,625.74 or we would owe him even more for damaging our home.
That was his pre-holiday gift to us. My daughter sitting in our home wearing her winter coat as our house was left in disrepair. I can only laugh at his "lifetime guarantee".
Please go elsewhere and do not endure what my family and I did.

The APPROVED Work on this person's house was to be ONLY a ROOF or Windows, It's been Over a Decade & I've underwent 2 more Emergency Open Heart Surgeries,as Well as 2 Failed NeuroSurgeries that have damaged My Memory. This Homeowner Cut a Side deal with "Frank", who was a Salesman/Foreman. It's right on the Contract,on the Front, where it says Submitted By : Frank & Under in Large Font is Accepted By : Then, I would sign The Contracts After I looked them Over for Mistakes. There was NO Trickery, Nor Fraud. Every Contract is Formatted the Same, as I had a Professional Print Service make 1,000 Copies. I had Never even known about this, as I was in & out of The Hospital having a total of 3 Failed Open Heart Surgeries, being rushed to The Hospital, just as Frank & this Woman,Who Again,I feel Extremely Sorry for, but she had cut a side deal with Frank with Me being in The Hospital, & then having to recover for 6 wks, it gave Frank the Time he needed to do This sort of Stuff Not Only to This Homeowner, but More.He robbed Every Cent I had in the Bank,he even Stole $67k from his wife's Mother's 4O1k . When I Tried to get in touch with Frank it kept going to Voicemail.
I finally went to my office & it was as if a Tornado hit My office! My Company Contracts Stolen,My Company Checks Stolen, Every Penny I had in the Bank-Stolen. His real name wasn't even Frank,it is Nick. All Authorities Couldn't find him. I was then getting phone Calls from Customers asking when their jobs were getting Done. I used All of My Personal Cash that I had in a Safe at My house to pay back All Customers that I heard from.
Getting back to this Horror story, This Homeowner & Frank cut a Side Deal, as I learned when I went Personally to this Woman's House. I sat there,as she tape recorded our Conversation. She & Frank made a deal that was Never Approved, Nor Seen,By Me, Nor was I ever Paid a Dime for this work. Frank was a 1099, so he wasn't under my Insurance, I feel Very bad for this woman,& if she was to tell the Whole Truth,She would have said, what I just Did. To me she Confessed that " Frank" was doing her job in between Sales Appts & getting whatever my subcontractors needed. If she is to be 100% Truthful, She would admit that she has NO Contract bearing MY Signature that such work was approved or Even known by Me. When I saw the DRAWING Frank made for WHATEVER He was building for this woman, I was in Shock. Any additions, Dormers,Extensions,etc. Anything requiring a Carpenter, I & She, if she had The work Done by MY Company Northeast Regional Remodeling LLC, Both of Us would have a Copy of The Architects Plans. I did Dormers All the time, I had an Architect that would do them for $500, & I NEVER,EVER Cheaped out & Didn't Have An Architects Plans. This is Someone's Home!
Frank Destroyed My Company. Destroyed a Company that I DO Have an A+ Rating w The BBB. All of My Clients Homes except this one & another that Frank had his hand in, Caused Me More Trouble than I ever wanted or Needed. I would Personally go to My Customers Homes, and if they Couldn't afford the Price of a New Roof, or a GREAT Siding Job, or a Great Window Job,All using Only The BEST QUALITY, I Never had a Good,Better,Best. It was The BEST For EVERYONE. If a Customer Couldn't afford For My Company to do the Work, I would do the Job at Cost, or I would take a Hit and Lose $$, as I Knew that w My Company,they wouldn't be Screwed. I Am VERY SORRY For This Homeowner, Extremely Sorry,But she Tried to Save $$ by NOT Going through My Company,but through Herself & Frank.
