Calvary Restoration is based in Metuchen. When a pipe fails on Amboy Avenue or smoke damage spreads through a home off Middlesex Avenue, we aren't dispatching a crew from another county. We are already here, we answer 24 hours a day, and we're on site within the hour.
Metuchen is a small borough with a lot of old houses. That combination produces a specific set of restoration problems, and after years of working in this community we know what they are before we pull up to the curb. We handle water, fire and smoke, mold, and storm damage, and because we're a restoration and construction company, we also rebuild what has to come out.
We are family-owned, IICRC-certified, licensed, bonded, insured, and BBB accredited. We work directly with your insurance carrier so you're not fighting the claim on your own.

Water damage. Burst supply lines, failed water heaters, dishwasher and washing machine leaks, and roof leaks are the calls we take most often in the borough. We extract standing water, map the moisture with meters and thermal imaging, and dry the structure properly rather than just the surfaces. See our full water damage restoration services.
Flood damage. Heavy rain, sump pump failures, and sewer backups put water into Metuchen basements. Floodwater isn't clean water, and the category of the water changes what can be saved and what has to be discarded. Our flood damage restoration process covers extraction, sanitizing, odor control, and repairs.
Fire and smoke damage. Even a contained kitchen fire pushes smoke and soot through the whole house, and the firefighting water becomes its own problem. We handle emergency board-up, structural stabilization, soot and odor removal, and contents pack-out and storage. Learn more about fire and smoke damage restoration.
Mold remediation. Metuchen basements and bathrooms in older homes are where we find most of it, usually traced back to a slow leak nobody noticed. We contain the area, remove the affected material, and correct the moisture source so it doesn't return. See our mold remediation services.
Storm damage. Wind, hail, nor'easters, and fallen trees damage roofs and siding and let water into the structure. Our storm damage restoration team secures the property first, then repairs it.
Commercial properties. Metuchen's Main Street businesses, professional offices, and multi-unit buildings need restoration that works around occupancy and gets the doors open again. See our commercial restoration services.
Repairs and rebuild. This is where we differ from most restoration companies in the area. We don't dry your house out and hand you a contractor list. Our construction division rebuilds the drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and finishes, so one company carries the job from the emergency call to the final coat of paint.
Metuchen is a 2.8 square mile borough of roughly 15,000 people, completely surrounded by Edison Township. It was incorporated in 1900 out of what was then Raritan Township, and a lot of the housing stock dates to that era and the decades right after it. The Middlesex Avenue and Woodwild Park Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017, alone contains 197 contributing buildings.
That housing age drives most of what we get called for. Homes built before modern plumbing standards were fitted with galvanized steel or early copper supply lines, and a lot of them are now well past their service life. Supply line failures and slow leaks inside wall cavities are the most common water damage calls we take in the borough. Older homes also tend to have unfinished or partially finished basements with limited drainage, which is where the mold work usually starts.
Roughly 75 percent of Metuchen housing is owner-occupied, which is high for Middlesex County. These are people who have been in their homes a long time and intend to stay, so the rebuild matters as much as the cleanup. Matching original trim, plaster detail, and hardwood in a century-old house isn't the same job as patching a builder-grade townhouse, and we scope it accordingly.
Metuchen has been a state-designated town center since 1996 and a transit village since 2001, with the NJ Transit station on the Northeast Corridor line at the center of the borough. The denser mixed-use development around the station and Main Street means shared walls and shared plumbing stacks, where one unit's water loss becomes several units' problem quickly.
We're local in the literal sense. Our base of operations is in Metuchen. Response time in the borough is as fast as it gets anywhere in our service area.
We're available 24 hours a day. Water damage at 2 a.m. is worse than water damage at 2 p.m., because it sits longer. Someone answers the phone whenever you call, and we're on site within the hour.
We work directly with your insurance. We document the loss properly, communicate with your adjuster, and bill the carrier directly where the policy allows, so the claim reflects the full scope of the damage.
We're certified and accountable. IICRC-certified technicians, licensed, bonded, and insured in New Jersey, and BBB accredited.
We're family-owned. You're dealing with the people who own the company, in your own town, not a call center routing your emergency to whichever franchise is closest.
We finance what insurance doesn't cover. Financing is available up to $200,000 through Enhancify.
Most people filing a restoration claim are doing it for the first time, under stress, on a deadline they didn't choose. We handle that part.
We photograph and document the loss thoroughly from the first visit, write a scope that covers the full extent of the damage including the rebuild, and communicate with your adjuster throughout. Where your policy allows it, we bill the carrier directly so you're not fronting the cost of the work.
The point is a settlement that actually covers the job. Read more about how we support insurance claims, and if there's a gap between the payout and the work, financing up to $200,000 is available through Enhancify.
Metuchen sits at the center of our service area. We also respond throughout the surrounding Middlesex County communities:
We are based in Metuchen, so the borough gets our fastest response of anywhere we serve. We are on site within the hour of your call, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Yes. We document the damage, write the full scope including the rebuild, coordinate with your adjuster, and bill your carrier directly where the policy permits. You're not managing the claim alone.
Water damage, flood damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and storm damage restoration, plus full reconstruction. If your property was damaged, we can mitigate it and rebuild it.
Yes. We serve single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-unit buildings, along with Main Street retail, professional offices, and other commercial properties in the borough.
We do both, which is unusual in this industry. Calvary is a restoration and construction company, so the same team that handles the emergency also completes the repairs. One company, one point of contact, from the first call through the finished room.
If it's safe, shut off the water at the main or cut power to the affected area. Don't enter a room with standing water and live electricity, and don't enter a fire-damaged structure until it has been cleared. Photograph the damage for your claim if you can do it safely, and leave the rest to us.
Water, fire, smoke, mold, and storm damage all get worse the longer they sit. If your Metuchen property has been damaged, call now and we'll be there within the hour.
