245 12th St . Wendy Restaurant and updated Convenience Store at Exxon Gas station Pad, DT Jersey City
Started in July 2022 and completed in Nov 2024.

This is my second time working with these Commercial-based clients. They had the vision to update the Exxon gas station's Convenience store with a modern facelift. Then took it up a notch by adding a modern and much needed Wendy's restaurant and drive-thru for Tunnel commuters and JC residents to enjoy.

After a 2 year undertaking the project's Expeditor, Carrie Craft efficiently obtained permits, facilitated updates, and smoothly closed out the project with a Certificate of Occupancy.

We welcome this fast food restaurant addition to DT JC.

We look forward to the grand opening, scheduled before 2025!

130 North St., Jersey City Heights
Started in Jan 2018 and completed in August 2018.

Originally built in the 1890s, this enchanting 2-story, single-family home underwent a complete restoration of the highest integrity. The Owner wanted to retain the home's heritage, so many of the original details including solid wood doors, porcelain door k***s, 7" moldings, trim, french oak, and 6" knotted pine floors have been lovingly brought back to life. The owner compliments remodel by adding period-correct pocket doors, fireplace mantle, and vent grates. The restoration also included modern electric, plumbing, central AC, Anderson windows, etc. The jewel-like parlor, has walnut-inlaid parquet floors and is adjoined by an alluring sunroom, dining room, and spacious family room. The bright, open kitchen is newly outfitted with a large skylight, stainless steel appliances, slide-in range, custom cabinetry with integrated pulls & quartz counter-tops. The storybook backyard, with deck and three-season room, is a sanctuary *rarely* found in an urban setting! Upstairs, with a restored mahogany banister and new skylight, the second level houses a bright, spacious master suite with an en-suite bathroom, plus an additional bedroom and bathroom. Bathrooms and powder rooms are adorned with slate tiles.

As the project's Expeditor, Carrie Craft efficiently obtained permits, facilitated updates, scheduled inspections, and within 7 months closed out the project with a Certificate of Occupancy. The Owner praised Carrie for her efficiency, professionalism, attention to follow up and communication throughout the project. The Client sold this new project a few months later!

Covid has not slowed down construction or the need for my Expeditor services. Projects pending Board approval are now ramping up. Migration from NYC and Other areas to JC has prompted purchases in all areas of JC... so renovations are up! I currently have 35-40 projects in the works! But due to my time management skills and organization, and some at the closing out/CO stage, I have it under control. So keep reaching out to me with your new Renovations, New Construction or Commercial fit out projects! I am only an email or phone call away!
