This robust community has about 27,000 residents and 8,700 houses in a wide range of styles: Colonial and Colonial Revivals; Tudor Revivals; Cape Cods; Mid-Century Moderns, Arts and Crafts, Victorians, and Ranch Styles. The styles speak to the long development of Ridgewood through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. And if the beautiful parks and neighborhoods of Ridgewood aren’t enough to occupy interest, the short, 30-minute drive to Manhattan offers New York City’s wonders of entertainment.
The first house in Ridgewood, NJ was built in 1700 by Dr. Johannes Van Emburgh, who purchased 500 acres of land for 32 pounds and 10 shillings. Over the following three and a quarter centuries, Ridgewood has become one of the most desirable villages in Bergen County, New Jersey. With such a long history, located just 20 miles northwest of the architectural hub of Manhattan, Ridgewood has seen every building style possible across the 32 decades since the first house was built. With so many layers, competing styles, design zones, and even thirteen buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, you can create your own piece of history in Ridgewood, NJ, with a custom home remodel by White Maple Construction.

Does WMC handle permitting in Ridgewood, NJ?
Even though the Ridgewood Village website lists the phone number to obtain building permits on its website, we believe the specific details of zoning and permitting are best left to the experts–general contractors. That’s why we can handle the permitting process for the entire design-build.
