In a housing market where higher interest rates have made moving less appealing, more homeowners are choosing to stay put and reimagine the space they already love. At Magnolia Home Remodeling Group, that mindset isn’t a trend—it’s the foundation of how the company has served New Jersey families for decades.
Based in Union and family-owned and operated, Magnolia Home Remodeling Group has built its reputation on a simple but powerful belief: great remodeling should be accessible, transparent, and rooted in trust. With more than 30 years of experience and recognition as a top-rated New Jersey home improvement contractor—including being a proud recipient of the Angie’s List Super Service Award—the company continues to raise the bar for what homeowners can expect from a remodeling partner.
“We are not focused on the dollar amount of a project,” says co-owner Vic Fiore, who runs the company alongside his brother-in-law, Chris Fontana. “We look at each project as an opportunity to build relationships so clients will consider us again. Whether it’s a small service or a large renovation, we want people to understand our process, feel comfortable, and know they’re in good hands. Performing at a high level with constant communication is how Magnolia grows.”
That philosophy is especially meaningful today, as more families seek to improve functionality without overextending financially. A kitchen remodel, for example, doesn’t need to be extravagant to be transformative. “We sit down with homeowners, understand their goals, and then determine what budget makes sense to achieve them,” Vic explains. “We’ll do whatever we can to make the project happen without sacrificing quality or details.”
The team’s approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Instead of pushing clients to stretch their budgets, Magnolia prioritizes comfort and clarity. “We’d rather clients stay within—or even below—their budget so they feel good about the project the entire way through,” Vic adds.
To further support homeowners who want to renovate rather than relocate, Magnolia offers convenient financing options. Clients can apply directly through the company, receive an instant decision, and take advantage of affordable monthly payment plans—often beginning after the work is completed. With no prepayment penalties, homeowners retain flexibility while gaining the ability to move forward with much-needed improvements.
From minor refreshes to full-scale transformations, Magnolia’s experienced team supports clients at every stage. Their professional installers—many of whom have worked with the company for years—are known for craftsmanship, consistency, and attention to detail. “We use installers who are tested and proven,” Vic says. “Everyone involved truly cares about the finished product.”
The scope of Magnolia’s services is equally comprehensive. The company specializes in both interior and exterior remodeling, offering roofing, siding, windows, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and additions, as well as hardscape, outdoor living spaces, porches, patios, and more. They also provide a range of affordable product options to suit different budgets without compromising quality. In a competitive industry that evolves quickly, Magnolia remains committed to staying current with new products, techniques, and processes—ensuring clients benefit from both innovation and experience.
That commitment to excellence is reflected in the voices of their clients. “Magnolia Home Remodeling did an outstanding job remodeling my kitchen and living room,” shares Laurie Wigfall in a 5-star Google review. “The team was professional, punctual, and paid attention to every detail. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and made sure the work was done exactly how I envisioned it. My home looks beautiful, modern, and so much more functional. I would recommend Magnolia to anyone looking for high-quality remodeling work.” For Vic and Chris, that kind of feedback reinforces everything they strive to deliver: communication, craftsmanship, and care.
But Magnolia’s impact extends well beyond the homes they renovate. Giving back is deeply woven into the company’s culture. Through partnerships with George to the Rescue and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Magnolia has donated its time, labor, and expertise to help families facing extraordinary challenges.
Their work with George to the Rescue began over five years ago, when they were called to help a Union Township family who had experienced an unimaginable loss. Magnolia donated a full bathroom renovation and transformed a young boy’s bedroom, offering not just improved spaces, but comfort and dignity during a painful time. “That was our first project with George,” Chris recalls. “It stayed with us.”
Since then, Magnolia has also partnered with Make-A-Wish on multiple projects, including remodeling a bedroom for a young girl in Newark and completing a bathroom renovation for a teenager in Little Falls whose wish was simply to provide his family with a safe, functional space. “Giving back to families facing tough times is incredibly rewarding,” Vic says. “It reminds us why we do what we do.”
At its core, Magnolia Home Remodeling Group is about more than construction. It’s about helping homeowners stay where their memories live, making thoughtful investments in the spaces that support daily life, and contributing meaningfully to the community they serve.
