We decided to go solar, and Tesla recommended Home Upgrade Specialist as a premium installer. They installed our solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 3, handling all the permitting smoothly here in Burbank. They even painting the solar conduit for wiring to match our house. From start to finish, the estimator, project manager, installers, and even the company president were all professional, responsive, and easy to reach. Communication was excellent. The system was also a great value — their pricing was reasonable, and adding solar increases your home’s value by about 4%, so it pays for itself immediately. Even if you sold your home the next month, you’d come out ahead. The Powerwall 3 gives us peace of mind during blackouts — it’s like having a UPS for your entire house. I couldn’t recommend Home Upgrade Specialist more highly. A++++ experience!

Your home, upgraded
the right way
L&D The Home Upgrade Specialists was built on a straightforward idea: homeowners across northern New Jersey and upstate New York deserve a contractor who shows up, communicates clearly, and delivers work they are proud to show off. What started as a personal passion for improving living spaces has grown into a focused contracting business serving Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Union, Morris, and Sussex counties in NJ, as well as communities across upstate NY.
The business was founded by someone who made a deliberate choice to turn hands-on skills and a drive for organization into a reliable local trade. The goal from day one was not just to complete jobs, but to earn the kind of trust that turns first-time clients into long-term advocates. That mindset shapes every project we take on, from a single-room drywall repair to a full kitchen or bathroom renovation.
We specialize in the remodeling work that matters most to homeowners: kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, full home renovations, drywall installation and finishing, interior and exterior painting, framing, laminate flooring installation, and hardwood floor installation and refinishing. We also take on commercial projects for business owners who need the same quality and reliability they would expect in their own homes.
Two things separate us from the average contractor in this area. First, we deliver low-friction service. That means fewer headaches for you, cleaner communication, and a process that does not stall out mid-project. Second, we practice radical transparency with real-time tracking, so you always know where your project stands without having to chase us down for updates.
We are actively growing our expertise in the highest-demand trades, including bathroom and kitchen renovation, because we believe that doing fewer things at a very high level is better than spreading thin across everything. When you hire L&D, you get a team that is invested in the outcome, not just the invoice.
Our service area covers a wide stretch of the region: Passaic County, Bergen County, Essex County, Union County, Morris County, and Sussex County in New Jersey, plus upstate New York. Whether you are in a suburban neighborhood or a more rural setting, we bring the same level of care and craftsmanship to your door.
If you are ready to move forward on a project, we would love to hear about it. Call us at (973) 222-2096 or email us at [email protected] to request your free estimate. We are available Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 9am to 2pm.
