“We engaged Creative Build Interior Design right after we started our new construction. We have been working with designer Melissa for kitchen design, color (exterior and interior) selection, vanity selection, light fixture, tile design/selection, hardware selection and etc. for the whole house. Melissa has provided very professional and valuable advice during the whole project and made our life much easier. She quickly helped us to find out our style (we often do not realize what we really like) and found something that fits our style and also in the right trend. We become more and more rely on Melissa's taste and advice. Melissa always stays on top of things and does things in the right order. She is very passionate about the work and often goes beyond the initial scope of the work to make sure that we get all the advise we need. The house turns out to be great and we reality love it! We received a lot of compliments from all the people who worked there and friends who stopped by. Everyone told me that they like the colors, kitchen, lights and everything. The house looks elegants and different from the spec houses on the market. We are thankful that we engaged Creative Build Interior Design for our new house and we felt we are lucky to work with Melissa. I would recommend their company and Melissa to my friends.”

“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.”

“cedar Knowles provides a great finished product whether stick built or prefab. They always follow through on there projects and deliver every promise. I never hesitate to recommend them.”

“Center Island is a professional company that delivers what it promises. My husband and I contracted them for a large project in 2010 which was completed in a timely manner, on budget, and done very well. Caleb was available every step of the way to answer questions and solve any problems that arose. The staff who worked on our project were friendly, knowledgeable, and cleaned up when they left for the day. We will definitely call Center Island for any future projects.”

“I consider Diversified a design team, as well as a top sub-contractor, who not only identify the right construction solutions but understand a project from an architectural, engineering, and interior design perspective. I have employed Diversified to provide me with all three services, architectural plans, engineering work (including obtaining obtaining permits) and subcontracting work. Diversified does a good job in holding the subcontractors accountable that work is done well and on time. They ensure subs work in concert with one another so there are relatively few lapses in work as compared to other firms. I have not been stuck with a punch list that takes months to address. They address issues and problems right away. My level of satisfaction is so high, I have hired Diversified to work on two different houses. The first time I have ever hired a contractor more than once. The work on my first home was so well done and had such a positive impact on our curb appeal, the house was sold in 3 days! I employed them the second time when I needed a firm who could move quickly in making my fixer upper move in ready (they even helped me out in the aftermath or Super storm Sandy). While the work may be a tad more expensive, it was worth the extra investment to make sure the end product was well done. I absolutely recommend Diversified.”

“Remodeling Consultants helped us complete the addition to our house from start to finish. The designer had great ideas on how to incorporate our needs to the house we already own and make it a more functional and beautiful home. We had a great experience. The people who worked on the house were all respectful and skillful. The company prides itself on being focus on costumer satisfaction and they upheld this promise. They were easily accessible for questions even after the project was completed. We would use them again in a heartbeat.”

“We hired German and crew to remodel our kitchen,master bath, and paint the house. I can't say enough about the service provided to us by this company. They listened to what we wanted and made sure we were completely satisfied before leaving. Our house looks gorgeous and feels like a new home! I will be hiring them for our next home improvement project.”

“We’ve owned our house for about 16 years, and over that period of time we’ve added-on an extension as well as remodeled most all of the rooms and areas in our Colonial built in 1958. When it came to the basement, however, we just let it be as it was a combination workout room, pantry and generally a way to get to our patio. It had some original light-wood paneling, carpet and unflattering fluorescent lighting. Outside, we had recently built and planted a whole bunch of raised garden beds, and put up some fencing to protect those beds from the 6 chickens who live in a coop in our backyard. Throughout the winter, we were looking forward to getting a better start this Spring by starting seeds indoors, and so that was the excuse to call up Old World Craftsmen and have them go through their Design-Build program in order to completely re-imagine our basement. In order to prevent me from going back on this impulse, I spent a good 12 hours on a Saturday ripping down all the ugly paneling. We were dreaming of shiplap – which has become quite the popular wall stock thanks to Chip + Joanne and their Fixer Upper show. We also wanted a sliding barn door to our re-built pantry, a heated tile floor and a sink with some character to put next to the potting benches. Add a wall-mount TV for the teenage girls in the house (and of course for Dad when war or history movies are on), and some comfortable sofas and chairs, as well as lots of shelves for plants and books – and there’d truly be a multi-functional basement. The design that we iterated with Scott Simonsen, the owner of Old World, included a primary white, brown tile and stain, as well as a contrasting wrought-iron black throughout for emphasis and texture. The design elements included -Shiplap – everywhere! -Shaker doors to complement – 3 internal doors, 1 double internal door and one exterior door -4 new windows with grills-between-glass including replacing some rotted sills -Installation of 24 LED ceiling lights – 3000K for a warm, neutral light -Schluter DITRA matting to whole basement including landing for electric heat -Basement levelling and textured ‘redwood’ porcelain tiling throughout -Re-plumbing an antique porcelain Crane sink -Removal of old baseboard that went around entire basement, deploy new baseboard to one wall -Knotty alder barn door in burnt umber stain with wrought iron hardware -Wrap columns and beams in hand-distressed pine wrap with burnt umber stain -Base and ceiling trim that complemented the shiplap design -Custom-designed iron railing for stairs We painted the shiplap and all the trim Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White in eggshell – we learned that in this style of design, it is better not to differentiate between the walls and the windows and trim – it came out nicely. For the stair treads/risers, stair trim and bathroom we used a combination of grays including Benjamin Moore Winter Solstice and Englewood Cliffs in satin. The whole Old World Craftsmen crew were courteous and professional for the whole month they were in our house. The basement was cleaned each evening before they left, and they arrived promptly at 8am each morning to begin work. The worksmanship and attention to detail throughout the project was very apparent. There were some areas of the basement that might be termed a little deficient in the right-angle category, but the crew made subtle accommodations which successfully prevented the imperfections from being noticeable. When vendors shipped the wrong door (3 times!), or a doorknob didn’t fit one of our specially made doors, Old World took it upon themselves to get things right without causing us any additional trouble. The tilers, plumbers, heating technicians, electricians and on-staff carpenters all were scheduled and arrived as planned and promised and all did a fantastic job. Paperwork and invoicing went smoothly and special requests were cheerfully received, acknowledged and executed. I was, for example, having trouble getting consistent staining of the pine breams – so Old World Craftsmen came by and did an expert job that turned out beautifully. Overall – the concept of design-build works out really nicely. The general contractor spends, in our case, a few hours talking about what the client wants and then translates that into the requirements that eventually become the finished product. An experienced contractor will already know all the do’s and dont’s and can competently guide homeowners that might have a real idea, but have no idea how to make it real. Old World Craftsmen really delivered a spectacular end-product and we couldn’t be more pleased.”

“NEA Construction is the construction company you want to use if you are looking to do the job right. Manny, the owner of the company, is an extremely talented architect and contractor, who brings the technical knowledge and expertise that other contractors lack. It has been a pleasure building our home with him and he has elevated the project to a level that was beyond our imagination. Let us break it down for you: CONTRACT: NEA Construction furnishes their client with an extremely detailed and comprehensive contract that goes above and beyond any other contractor making a bid. Their attention to detail leaves no room for doubt and highlights specific details so that there are no unpleasant surprises midway into the project. Unlike other contractors, who make a low bid to seal the deal and then add additional charges for things they did not mention in their contract, NEA Construction leaves no room for doubt. One of the biggest issues that homeowners have with contractors is that midway into the project, the contractor says that the price they gave did not include certain items. The contract that NEA Construction provides a detailed account of what is included so that the homeowner knows exactly what they are paying for. Their prices are accurate DESIGN: Because of his architectural background (which is an additional perk that clients benefit from), Manny does an excellent job of streamlining designs, seeing what will work and bringing the project up to another level. He does an excellent job of explaining the details of construction so that his clients have a good understanding of the task at hand. Because he is also an artist, he knows how to combine the perfect balance of form and function. He has an extremely refined sense of aesthetics and knows how to incorporate it with the functionality of the space. BUDGET: NEA Construction is well reputed for working within the confines of the proposed budget. For all clients alike, the budget allotted to the project is obviously a very important issue, especially in this economical time. One of the biggest issues that homeowners have with their contractors is that contractors are known to exceed their budget and their clients are not prepared for the extra expense and then the construction spirals into a horrific experience. NEA Construction understands the need for their clients to stay within the budget and they take their budget proposal very seriously. While other contractors become lackadaisical once the contract is signed, NEA Contruction is extremely cautious about the expenses incurred by their clients and you will definitely feel a loyalty with regard to this on their part. TIMELINE: NEA Construction provides their clients with an estimated timeline so their clients know what to expect. While most contractors just wing a estimate timeline off the top of their head, NEA Construction breaks the timeline down according to task so that their clients have a comprehensive idea of how long their project should take. PROBLEM SOLVING POTENTIAL: As with all construction projects, there will be unpredictable issues that arise. One of NEA Contructions strengths in this arena is foresight. We were pleased to see that Manny is an expert at handling such situations. He not only addresses issues that arise behind the scenes so that the client has a completely stress free experience, he rises to the occasion if posed with a challenging task. When checking on his references, one of his former clients told me that the more difficult the task, the more Manny will rise to the occasion. We have found this to be very true. He takes every endeavor seriously and is always 20 steps ahead of us and because of his ability to foresee problems with design ( again, a perk of his architectural background and his Knowledge of engineering), the need to problem solve is minimized. PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE: With so many choices and options on materials, fixtures, appliances, etc., it really helps to work with a contractor that knows what products is out there and understands which materials will work for your projects. While many contractors just stick to what they are used to because they fail to update their craft, Manny is constantly updating his knowledge of new products, improved materials and updated technology, so the end result is that you end up with a project that is as best is it could possibly be. Manny does an excellent job of familiarizing his clients with the products available to them and recommends options that we, as clients, did not know even existed! PROFESSIONALISM: We have been very impressed with the professionalism that Manny and the rest of his team at NEA Construction has displayed. Apart from having the highest standards himself, he has selected a team of employees that are well experienced and dedicated to their craft as well. It is worthwhile to comment that Manny has set the standard for having extremely developed communication skills. He is always just a phone call or email away and is always fully aware of what is happening on his job sites. He is not the type of contractor that you will have to hunt down or call again and again to get a simple answer - he always follows up and he always comes through. REFERENCES: We spent over a year looking for the right contractor and met Manny through a friend who had just used him for their home. After a long and thorough search, and having met Manny, the owner of NEA Contruction, we felt that we have finally found what we were looking for. We did a very extensive reference check on him and all his former clients had nothing but excellent things to say about his workmanship. One thing that stood out the most was that all his references said that they ended up with a completed project that surpassed their expectation. We can now add ourselves to that list of references that can happily and honestly say that the home that NEA Construction built for us has truly surpassed our expectation. Manny and his team at NEA Contruction has made building our home an extremely pleasant experience. If you are looking for a contractor that offers one stop shopping, NEA Construction will certainly be right for you. If you are looking for a contractor that is reliable, then NEA Construction will certainly be the right contractor for you. If you are looking for contractor that understands the worth of good quality and high standards in all aspects of construction, then NEA is most certainly the right contractor for you. My spouse and I recommend him wholeheartedly and we fully intend to use him for all our future endeavors without any hesitation!”
