Our Story

Our Home Remodeling adventures started right here in New Jersey way back in 1968.

A rusty old truck, a strong back, and a dream. That’s all it took for Lou Amiano Sr. to start his small New Jersey construction company back in 1968. With a simple goal of helping homeowner’s realize their home remodeling dreams, Lou Sr. built a company based on trust and a dedication to his craft.

41 years later in 2009 Lou’s son, Lou Jr., took the reigns to continue the Amiano and Son legacy. Having grown up in the construction and remodeling industry, Lou Jr. has a lifetime of industry knowledge. And by combining that know-how with today’s cutting edge technology and latest design trends, Lou has built a national award-winning company right here in Tabernacle, New Jersey. Fifty years and hundreds of happy customers later, Amiano and Son is your partner in making your home remodel dreams come true.

We’re now an award-winning construction company and one of the largest home remodeling groups in the area. So when it’s time for you to turn your old home into the home of your dreams, give us a call.

Since 1968 we’ve had the pleasure of working with some wonderful homeowners and have had the opportunity to show off our design and build capabilities. And after all that hard work, we’re proud to be recognized by some leading industry publications by receiving these wonderful awards.

Coverage Area

We generally service Mercer, Burlington, Atlantic, Camden, and Ocean Counties, and into some parts of Gloucester County. This helps us ensure we are within a short drive of our home base so that we can better service your project. It also means you’ll have convenient access to our showroom for design inspiration and meetings.

We hired Amiano and Son to help with our kitchen remodel. The design was amazing, with even better results. For it being a contruction site in my house, they did a great job of containing everything to the kitchen area so we could still use the rest of our house. Very excited with our new kitchen.

The Amiano's did a masterful job converting my small ~750 sq ft. single story ranch into a 2300 sq ft. 2-story colonial with 3 car garage. The workers were very efficient and pretty much on the job every day during the almost 4 months of building it took to complete the job. We are very happy with the outcome.

We would totally recommend. Everyone in this company was easy to work with. My husband and I told them what we wanted, they helped us through all minor issues, and at the end, we absolutely love everything about our new bedroom, balcony and outside basement stairs.
