Neighbor First Home Services

Helping Bergen County homeowners protect, maintain, & improve their homes

The name “Neighbor First” reflects the way I believe every homeowner should be treated – with honesty, respect, and the kind of care you’d expect from a trusted neighbor.

Neighbor First Home Services was founded on one simple belief: Treat every customer’s home with the same care, respect, and attention you would give your own.

Whether you need a small repair, seasonal maintenance, or caring for a vacant home while you’re away, every visit is completed with professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail.

I believe in taking the time to do quality work, communicating clearly, and building lasting relationships with my customers. My goal isn’t simply to complete a project – it’s to earn your trust for years to come. 

As a fully insured, owner-operated business, I take pride in providing dependable service and clear communication from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.

My Story

Hi, I am Bryan Reiss, owner of Neighbor First Home Services.

I Started Neighbor First because I genuinely enjoy solving problems, working with my hands, and helping homeowners care for one of their biggest investments. Every project is an opportunity to earn trust through dependable service, honest communication, and quality workmanship.


My goal is simple – to build long-term relationships by treating every customer like a neighbor.

I look forward to connecting with you,
Bryan

A Lifelong Bergen County Neighbor

I have called Bergen County home since I was 5 years old, and I’m proud to continue serving the community where I grew up. I’ve always believed neighbors should be able to rely on one another, and that belief became the foundation for Neighbor First Home Services.

Learning the Craft

My passion for working with my hands began in high school theatre productions before studying Technical Theatre and Stage Production, where I received hands-on training in carpentry, scenic construction, painting, electrical systems, and project planning. Early in my career, I worked on large theatrical productions that demanded precision, teamwork, creative problem-solving, and an unwavering commitment to safety.

A Career Built on Trust

Servicing others has always been an important part of my life. I volunteered with the Mahwah Ambulance Squad, eventually serving as Captain, and later spent more than two decades in customer-focused leadership roles within the financial technology industry. Although the industries were different, they all reinforced the same values: professionalism, communication, accountability, and earning people’s trust.

Why Neighbor First

Neighbor First Home Services brings those experiences together. Every repair, maintenance visit, and home watch service reflects the same principles that have guided me throughout my career—careful planning, quality workmanship, honest communication, and treating every customer’s home with the respect it deserves.
My goal isn’t simply to complete another project. It’s to become the person you confidently call whenever your home needs care.
