Make Sure You’re Ready For NJ Home Improvement Contractor Law Changes

By Jim Monaghan

There are some changes coming to the New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor Law in March of 2025 that could ultimately affect you.

Dave Muti is the owner of 101 Mobility here in New Jersey. He joined Jim Monaghan on Jersey Magazine to talk about what homeowners need to be aware of with regard to these changes.

Additionally, as we deal with an aging population (whether ourselves or perhaps our parents), Dave outlined ways in which we can safeguard our homes.

  • Greetings From the Garden State - Year End Wrap

    This week on our Greetings From the Garden State segment, host Mike Ham and Jim Monaghan talk about some of the top episodes from 2024.

  • NJ's Monarch Family Associates Receives $1.25 Million Grant From Bezos Day 1 Families Fund

    Taiisa Kelly is the CEO of Cranford-based Monarch Family Associates. She joined Jim Monaghan on Jersey Magazine to talk about the $1.25 million grant that MFA just received from the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund.

    Family homelessness in the U.S. rose dramatically from 2022 to 2023, and families now represent more than 28 percent of the country’s homeless population, according to a 2024 report from the National Alliance to End Homelessness. With its one-time Day 1 Families Fund grant, Monarch will work to reverse this national trend by serving families experiencing homelessness throughout the state of New Jersey.  

    Specifically, Monarch Housing Associates plans to use its funds to support implementation of a statewide Strategic Plan to End Family Homelessness. The Day 1 Families Fund investment will be used to expand on the success of Rapid Rehousing to ensure more families can access this critical support to regain housing stability. Funding will also be used to develop regional hubs which will support families in navigating the services and benefits available to help them maintain stability in housing.

    Considering Adopting A New Pet In The New Year? Randolph Regional Animal Shelter Manager Sunny Nowell Is Here To Help

    Everyone knows I LOVE animals- BUT, I’m not an expert, just a fan- When it comes to the “Opt To Adopt” mission I’ve created at WDHA, I sometimes rely on the experts for advice, tips, and guidance. My friend and local hero Sunny Nowell is one of these people. Sunny is not only the shelter manager for

    Randolph Regional Animal Shelter 

    Joe Frazz
    Sunny and her Co-Workers, Erika Barkman and Christine Campanello are awesome members of the local animal community. 

    She is also an Animal Control Officer and someone who specializes in helping people find their perfect furry family members. In this episode of the Rock N’ Ruff Roundtable, Sunny offers a few simple suggestions on how to manage expectations, what to consider, and how to manage adding a new addition to your pack.  

    Adopting a new pet is a HUGE responsibility and it’s always helpful to have some guidance along the way, especially for first-time adopters. It’s easy to think that pets can just grab a collar and go, (to the dog park, visiting) and some can, but others may have experienced some trauma or inconsistency so Sunny’s suggestions involve patience and decompression. We are always thankful for her video clips that make us better pet parents.
