“Working with Charlie Mann on the Borough of Manville’s OEM building was a very refreshing experience, especially for a publicly bid project. Charlie delivered a very high quality project on time and on budget. His team provided great attention to detail and completed the building to a very high standard. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Charlie again.”

47 Leigh Street, Clinton, NJ
Historic Renovation
“Charlie’s on-site foreman carpenter was meticulous and took pride in this preservation project as if it were his own property. He understood our practical needs and the importance of restoring this important piece of Clinton’s history. The New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office members were thrilled when they visited our completed project.”
-- Laurie Insel, Councilwoman and Former Historic Commission Chair, Town of Clinton
“We weren’t sure what we’d find when we started the rehabilitation of 47 Leigh – it was vacant for 15 years with plants growing inside. Charlie finished the project on time and within budget. Most importantly, the work was that of a perfectionist. I’ve worked with many contractors in my 30-year career as an engineer and town administrator. Charlie Mann and his team are hands down the best in the business.”
--Bob Cutter, Administrator, Town of Clinton

“Charlie first worked on a project for me in 1994. I was very impressed with his ability, the quality of his work and his organization. After hiring him again for a much larger project in 2002, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I don’t have time to stay on top of a construction project while working full-time running my own company. With Charlie, I didn’t need to be there. He’s on top of everything for you.”
--Jack Van Doren, Van Doren Oil

“Charlie completed every job for me on time and within budget. He understands the cost of not being open for business. He’s unique in the way he lays out a job; he coordinates and schedules sub-contractors perfectly leaving no down time on a project. I run a full-time business and it’s important for me to have someone in control that I can trust. Charlie Mann does an incredible job for his clients.”

--Paul Hoffman, Hunterdon Shopping Center Partners
Dickens Lane
"When we began the planning process for the Dickens Lane project, one of our biggest concerns was finding a general contractor who would be able to do the job on time and on budget, and who could work well with the architect and with the Town of Clinton. In short, Charlie Mann outdid himself on all of these counts, and ten years later, not a single construction-related problem has surfaced. Dickens Lane has become an established focal point of Clinton's historic downtown, and, on a more personal level, is one of our proudest accomplishments."
--Richard and Monica Urmston, Dickens Lane
