Question 1

How long has HomeGrown Roots & Repairs been in business?

Accepted Answer

HomeGrown Roots & Repairs was founded in 2025 by Jayson — a Leonia, NJ native who grew up in Bergen County and learned the trade working summers at his uncle's commercial handyman and renovation business in Rhode Island. The company is licensed under NJ HIC #13VH13595500 and fully insured.

Question 2

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NJ Home Improvement Contractor License #13VH13595500. Auto and commercial through Fitchburg Mutual; general liability through Selective Insurance. Proof of insurance is available on request before any job begins.

Question 3

Who is on the team?

Accepted Answer

HomeGrown is owner-operated by Jayson, with one full-time crew member and one part-time crew member. The same people show up to every job — no rotating subcontractors.

Question 4

What is the full-service philosophy?

Accepted Answer

Most contractors specialize narrowly — remodelers will not do drywall patches; handymen will not do bathrooms. We do both. Same licensed team, same standards, same warranty, whether the job is a $125 single-task visit or a $40,000 bathroom remodel.

Question 5

What kind of work is HomeGrown most proud of?

Accepted Answer

Basement finishes. Taking a basement from "oh there's the washer and dryer" to "let's go down and watch the game" is our favorite transformation. Beyond that, we are proud of the dedication we bring to every project — treating each client's home like it is our own.
