Questions homeowners ask

FAQs about Hackensack jobs.

Things we've been asked most often by homeowners we've worked with in Hackensack. Don't see your question? Give us a call.

Do you handle the Hackensack permit process?

Yes. We file directly with the building department on Court Street, and the permit fee is itemized in your written estimate. Most residential permits issue in 5–7 business days.

What's the typical lead time for a paver driveway in Hackensack?

Most residential paver driveways run 5–7 days for tear-out, base prep, and installation — weather permitting. You get a written schedule with the estimate.

Can you work around tight side-street access on the older blocks?

Yes. Tight access is normal in the older streets around Fairmount and downtown. We bring a smaller skid-steer for those jobs and stage materials curbside where space allows.

Why does mortar matching matter so much in Hackensack?

Prewar Hackensack brick is softer than modern brick. Modern Type S Portland mortar is harder than the brick face, which causes the brick to spall instead of the mortar joint absorbing movement. Type N lime-rich mortar is the only correct repoint here.
