Brooklake Road, Florham Park

Most houses are built to be sold. Ours are built to be handed down.

  1. Our own crews, start to finish

    The people who dig the foundation are still on site when the last fixture goes in. No rotating cast of strangers on your property.

  2. A partner on every site

    One of the owners walks every job. Questions get settled by someone who can make a decision.

  3. Registered and insured

    NJ home improvement contractor registration #13VH10492900, fully insured, and a written contract before anything is ordered.

Built in the towns we live in.

Florham Park, Princeton, Somerset. Each house has a name, a story, and a crew that still drives past it.

Family-owned. On site every day.

Legacy was started by builders who still carry a tape measure. Ed, Wilson and Jaime run the company from Morristown and spend their days on the job, not in an office across the state.
