Home Additions and New Construction in Northeast Pennsylvania

What a Master Carpenter's License Means for Your Build

NJB Construction and Roofing holds a Master Carpenter's License in the City of Scranton. That credential goes beyond general contracting. It signals the precision and code knowledge required for complex residential additions and custom builds. We're registered under PA HIC number 135448 and Scranton Contractor Number 9515, so your project is covered at every stage.

We handle room additions, garage conversions, in-law suite builds, and full custom residential construction. NJB Construction and Roofing has operated since 2002, and founder Nicholas Brajuka brings 25-plus years of hands-on field experience to every project. We also provide roofing and construction services in Lackawanna County and throughout NEPA.

We're family-owned and second-generation. Nicholas Brajuka founded the business, and his son now works alongside him on every job. That means you get direct accountability from the people doing the work, not a subcontracted crew who's never been to your property.

Remodeling Services That Add Real Value

NJB Construction and Roofing handles full interior and exterior remodeling for NEPA homeowners, covering everything from home additions and remodeling in Luzerne County to kitchens to concrete.

Kitchen Remodeling That Works for NEPA Homes

We handle cabinet installation, countertop replacement, layout reconfiguration, and appliance hookup coordination. Every kitchen remodel we do is planned around how you actually use the space, not a showroom template. The result is a functional kitchen built to match your daily life and your home's structure.

Bathroom Remodeling Built to Last

We cover tile work, vanity and fixture replacement, shower and tub surrounds, and full waterproofing. Bathrooms consistently rank among the highest-ROI remodels for resale value in NEPA, and a properly waterproofed bathroom protects your home's structure for years after the work is done.

Deck Construction for Northeastern Winters

We build decks using pressure-treated lumber and composite decking, with footings designed for freeze-thaw cycles, railing systems, and permit-ready framing. NEPA winters demand footings set below the frost line. We build accordingly, so your deck stays level and safe through every season.

Concrete Work Done to Code

We handle driveways, walkways, patios, and steps. Concrete in NEPA must account for seasonal expansion and contraction. We use proper jointing and base preparation to prevent cracking, so the flatwork holds up through the thaw cycles that break down shortcuts every spring.

Your Construction Questions, Answered

These are the questions NEPA homeowners ask most often before starting a home addition or remodel.

  • Does NJB Construction and Roofing pull the permits for home addition projects in Scranton, PA?

    Yes. NJB Construction and Roofing handles all permit applications for home additions and construction projects in Scranton and throughout Northeast Pennsylvania. The business holds PA HIC number 135448 and Scranton Contractor Number 9515, so homeowners don't need to navigate the permitting process themselves. Work begins only after permits are in place.

  • How long does a home addition or remodeling project take with NJB Construction and Roofing?

    Timelines vary by project scope, but most kitchen and bathroom remodels are completed within two to four weeks. Home additions typically run four to eight weeks depending on size, permit processing, and weather. NJB Construction and Roofing gives a clear timeline estimate at the free consultation before any work begins.

  • What is the difference between a licensed contractor and a general handyman for a home addition in Pennsylvania?

    A licensed contractor like NJB Construction and Roofing carries a state-registered Home Improvement Contractor number, full liability insurance, and the credentials to pull permits and meet code. A handyman typically cannot pull permits or guarantee code compliance, which creates liability for the homeowner on any work that affects structure, electrical, or plumbing.

  • Can NJB Construction and Roofing handle both the roofing and construction work if I'm adding onto my home?

    Yes. NJB Construction and Roofing handles both the structural construction and the roofing on home additions, which means one licensed crew manages the entire build. This eliminates scheduling conflicts between separate contractors and gives homeowners a single point of accountability from foundation to ridge.
