Meet the Team

JL Bottone Signature Homes and Renovations is a family-owned general contracting business built on a legacy of trust and craftsmanship spanning over three generations. Founded and operated by John Bottone, a third-generation contractor with over 35 years of hands-on experience, the company is deeply rooted in the Northern and Central New Jersey community. John lives locally in New Jersey with his wife and children, and his active involvement in the area translates to a genuine understanding of local architectural styles, building codes, and what homeowners value. This generational knowledge is applied to every project, from intricate kitchen remodels in Watchung to comprehensive new home construction across Somerset County. The business operates on a foundation of reliability and clear communication, treating each client's home with the same care and attention to detail they would their own.

Common Questions

As a Watchung homeowner, how can you help with a yard that has standing water and dying shrubs?

We frequently address this common local issue with a comprehensive approach. First, we assess the yard's grading and drainage to identify the source of the standing water, which often suffocates plant roots. Our solutions can include installing proper drainage systems, French drains, or regrading the landscape. For the landscaping itself, we replace damaged shrubs with hardy, native species better suited to New Jersey's climate and the specific conditions of your property. Our combined expertise in landscape construction, retaining walls, and greenscape installation allows us to create a solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, solving the water problem and revitalizing your outdoor space.

What is your process for a major home addition or remodeling project in Central NJ?

Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, needs, and budget. Leveraging over 35 years of local experience, we then handle all aspects from initial construction design services through to completion. For additions—whether it's a new story, bedroom, or ADU—we manage everything from securing permits that comply with local Watchung and Somerset County regulations to the final construction and interior finishing. For remodels, like kitchens or bathrooms, we coordinate all trades, minimize disruption, and ensure the new space integrates seamlessly with the existing structure. As a third-generation builder, we prioritize clear communication, quality materials, and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

Do you handle both the hardscaping and landscaping for outdoor projects like patios and driveways?

Yes, we provide a complete turnkey service for outdoor living spaces. Our team can design and construct the hardscape elements—such as a paver patio, walkway, retaining wall, or a new asphalt or stone driveway—ensuring proper foundation and drainage. We then seamlessly integrate the landscaping, which includes planting beds, shrubs, trees, and irrigation systems to ensure your new space thrives. This integrated approach, managed by our experienced crew, ensures cohesive design, proper execution, and avoids the coordination issues that can arise when using multiple contractors. It’s all part of our commitment to delivering finished, polished projects for homeowners across Essex, Morris, Somerset, and Union counties.
