“I thought that finding an honest contractor who follows through with what they promise would be impossible but decided to take the chance with Essential and finally do my first renovation. I was very nervous at first but the contractor Peter was extremely patient and was with me every step of the way. His team which included a talented designer put together a picture perfect kitchen, powder bathroom and master bedroom bathroom. I was blown away by the attention to detail and if you’re looking for a wonderful experience limiting your stress level for such a major project then Peter and his team are a great fit.”

“Smart Design helped us with design and install, removing a large old gravel based driveway, and replacing with concrete. They also designed a new entryway and back patio for us. The whole process was amazing, Segev was extremely organized, responded immediately, and the finished product is better than we hoped! I highly recommend Smart Design!”

“Kieth is a professional whom I would hire for a top notch bathroom or kitchen renovation. We hired Kieth's company to do both small and large jobs and he always came in on time and within budget and stood behind his work. The quality of the jobs are always top notch. He has a sterling reputation in town for good reason. He does what he says. A rare gem!”

“I highly and without reservation recommend Mr. Gregory Sforza of Done Right Remodeling for any home improvement job you may require. He is talented in a variety of home improvement specialties including carpentry, installations, and demonstrates a completely accurate interpretation of a customer's ideas for a given project. He maintains a list of professionals who perform jobs within related specialties including electricians, plumbers and painters, for example. His estimates are fair, and there are no hidden costs. If extra materials are required he discusses this beforehand with the customer as the need arises so you are well-aware and may consent or decline extra materials or labor. He and his coworkers clean up the work area at the end of each day and are never " no shows", which is a common issue with other contractors I used in the past. When you've hired Done Right Remodeling you've made an educated choice.”

“This was our second time working with the amazing team of contractors, project managers and designers at Prominent. They had previously done a spectacular job refinishing our basement (beams, bedroom, bathroom, storage, Martha Stewart mudroom, you name it). We were expecting twins and the need to expand our house was imminent. Our house is a hundred year old arts & crafts house so maintaining the integrity was essential. And being on schedule! We renovated our kitchen into a kitchen/great room area which therefore doubled our master bedroom and master bath located above. In addition, we created a bar room space where our former EIK was located and renovated our powder room. Lastly, we finished our third floor to be a guest suite with the most incredible bathroom ever. In addition, we added a new deck with under decking materials and had to rebuild stone walls-- I had no idea just how gorgeous this could be. A deck is not just a deck. The end result is nothing short of spectacular, extremely tasteful and maintained Arts & Crafts integrity although my husband and I were adamant that although we liked the linear style and functionality of A&C, we did not like the "darkness." Prominent stayed within our budget unless my husband and I personally strayed afar. They advised us when aesthetically we could all make a better choice. They were available 24/7, literally and if we had even the smallest emergencies, someone from Prominent was in our home immediately. I also love that Promiment Design factors into every project. Having Traci to literally help us with the tile work, cabinetry, paint colors, furniture layouts, the babies' nursery was such a wonderful finishing touch. Our home would not be the same otherwise. I am really not being overly sensationalistic here. We have truly had an amazing experience working with Prominent and having to live out the end of my pregnancy in my basement, and the first two months with twins, 2 big dogs, baby nurse and so forth down there, they did everything possible to expedite and keep us very comfortable.”

“They were amazing! Very professional and friendly, they translated perfectly what I wanted and elevated my place. Very detail oriented!! I'll definitely will be working with them again”

“I hired Showcase to renovate and expand a newly purchased home in Glen RIdge, New Jersey. The project lasted over 15 months in duration and involved renovating the entire house and expanding the home from 2600 square feet (excluding the basement) to 4450 square feet (approximately 5950 square feet including the fully finished basement). The project included a new family room, gym, sauna, downstairs bath, master bedroom, office and master bath. The existing kitchen and three and half baths were demolished and redone. New trim, windows, doors and closets were also installed throughout the original structure. Finally, all the plumbing, heating and air conditioning and electrical systems were replaced. I have extensive experience working with contractors. At my previous home I undertook seven separate remodeling projects ranging from bath and kitchen renovations to the addition of a family room and master suite. I also built a 3000 square foot architectually designed second home in Wisconsin. SHOWCASE WAS BY FAR THE BEST CONTRACTOR I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM WITHOUT HESITATION FOR ANY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. Several things made our experience with Showcase so good: - its a one-stop shop. You get design and build services and they order all the materials. This is highly convienent and allows them to ensure product and service quality. - its a third generation family business. The owners are experienced, reliable and service oriented. They proactively made a number of suggestions which improved the final product. We still frequently call them if we have a question or issue and they are extremely responsive. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, for example, we had an issue with our natural gas powered back up generator and they showed up and got it fixed within hours of calling. - their construction crew and sub contractors are uniformly outstanding (as you would expect from a large established contractor). Given the project's size and duration we got to know all the key subs very well. The construction foreman, tile guy, plumber and electrician were especially good. They do extremely high quality work and also frequently offered up good suggestions for improvements. Proof of the quality of their work is the fact that we passed every single inspection the first time. - their designer, Haviva, is also very good. While we used our long time architect on the project, Haviva made a number of significant improvements to the original plan. - last, they are fair and reasonable. When issues or unexpected costs came up, we were quickly able to get to a solution that left everybody feeling ok.”

“TR Building completed our kitchen project for us. It was completed to the highest standard on schedule and on budget. They took personal pride in the quality of the work, and kept disruption to an absolute minimum. A truly professional firm.”

“Keil Design & Construction is a full service contracting firm. I have worked with them on a variety of project types and scopes (residential, commercial, whole house renovation, kitchen additions, bathroom remodeling). Gordon is honest, easy to get along with, knowlegable and does very nice work. The best recommendation from an architect - I have used them to do work in my own home!”

“As a real estate agent, I have to be very careful about who I recommend. I feel complete confidence when recommending Sound Shore Construction Group. They do great work, are totally professional, and go the extra distance for their clients.”
