MJ Building Contractors was the most professional contractor that we have ever dealt with. They…read morewere responsive, dedicated and worked with us to build a beautiful home. We have also used MJ Building to do an addition and other handy projects around the house. I have and will continue to recommend this contractor to all of my friends and family. We find john b's review hard to believe. I have lived in West Milford for years and have heard nothing but rave reviews about MJ's work. If john b had such a problem with MJ's work, why wouldn't he take him to court? Did you? Did you pass your inspections? Did you get a CO? I think this a case of sour grapes, that you have a problem personally with the owner. Like I said before, MJ Building is a quality builder and a consummate professional. Because I know the owner personally, in addition to his quality workmanship I would like to say he has been a great supporter of the community of West Milford. To all of the readers of john b's rating and review, please do not be suaded by john b's comments...please check out real references...I know because I am on the list of references! Good luck with your project!!!

Sebastian is so much fun to work with. He is creative and has such good ideas. I wanted to put…read morefolding stairs up to my useless attic. There I store items not presently needed but not ready for the garbage heap. Sebastian was the first to answer my call and his ideas captured me into rejecting other later applicants. After the stairs came the wonderful suggestion of reconstructing one section of the attic. In this space I could walk standing up and a beautiful bedroom and office was constructed. The work was done quickly and professionally. By Christmas I had an extra bedroom to accommodate my many overnight visitors, particularly grandchildren. The transformation is magical. Here is a picture of before and after. I am hoping to continue with this construction in some months under Sebastian's visionary supervision

I hired Sea Beast Design & Construction (Sebastian Barbagallo) as General Contractor for a…read moreresidential project in Fair Lawn, NJ under a written contract in March 2026.. I paid Sea Beast $68,190 against the contract and separately paid $17,176 directly for materials I had no contractual obligation to pay -- $85,366 total -- yet MULTIPLE major scope items remained incomplete or not meaningfully progressed with only weeks left on the schedule. These included the porticos, exterior brick samples, simple framing and finish details, unable to install simple door hardware, the HVAC condenser pad (the condenser itself was paid for but not on site), step repointing and masonry, main electrical service, exterior hardware, interior doors (despite a $3,000 advance for them), and the kitchen, which was never properly coordinated, ordered or released. Sea Beast also failed to provide the conditional lien waivers, a simple bill that wasn't a demand for money that needs to be today which was required with each progress payment, and continued to demand additional payment while materially overbilled relative to work completed. I issued a formal Notice of Performance Issue on April 4, 2026 requiring a written cure plan, manpower and sequencing plan, procurement status, revised schedule, lien waivers, and payment reconciliation. Sea Beast acknowledged receipt but did not provide the required cure documentation. I issued a Notice of Default on April 8, 2026 under the contract's default provision, which required cure commencement within 36 hours. The required cure was not provided. I terminated the contract for default and am pursuing damages. I would not hire Sea Beast Design & Construction again and would not recommend them for residential general contracting work. I've filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs.
