Contractor, Bathroom remodeler, Carpenter in Garwood, NJ
Angi Home Improvement LLC is a Garwood-based general contracting firm serving Union County and the surrounding area with interior remodeling work: kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, basement finishing, and home additions. The company is led by founder and owner Altin "Tino" Velaj, who works as lead craftsman and is present on every job site the company takes on, rather than subcontracting oversight out to a separate project manager. That hands-on model traces back to his own background in the trade: he started as a tile helper before working his way up to tile installer for a Bergen County home improvement company, eventually building the skills and client relationships to launch his own operation. The firm holds a New Jersey Home Improvement Business Contractor license and has built a strong local reputation, reflected in a 4.8 rating on Angi and a BuildZoom score placing it in the top tier of licensed New Jersey contractors. For homeowners weighing a kitchen or bathroom overhaul, the value proposition is straightforward: a licensed, insured contractor whose founder still swings a tool on-site rather than managing purely from an office, backed by two decades in the trade before the company even existed. That continuity from tile helper to business owner running crews across Union County is the kind of trajectory that shows up in the quality of finish work -- tile lines, grout joints, cabinet reveals -- the details homeowners notice years after a remodel is done.
Founded in 2003 by Altin "Tino" Velaj, who had entered the construction trade in 2000 as a tile helper before becoming a tile installer for a Bergen County home improvement company, then launching his own firm in Garwood.
