His ideas and creativity helped us design our dream kitchen. The quality of the work was excellent and the project was completed on time with no significant cost over runs. We could not be happier with the beautiful finished product.and would not hesitate to hire Kershaw and Zalewski again for any future remolding projects. We highly recommend them to anyone considering home improvements. **★★★★★ — rsg315, Aug. 2018** > Kershaw and Zalewski completed a major renovation for us, adding on a spacious ground-floor kitchen and laundry room with a master suite above it, two new upstairs bathrooms, and completely reconfiguring the layout of the second floor of our home. They were professional, detail-oriented, honest, and pleasant from start to finish. By the time the project wrapped up, we felt like Jamie’s crew were extended family. And even after the project was done, they made themselves available to answer questions and troubleshoot if necessary—with zero hassle. There is no question that we will hire them again for future projects. **★★★★★ — bfbg312, May 2015** > I first had Kershaw -Zalewski Associates remodel a home I owned by adding a large 2 storey family room and a fourth bedroom as well as siding the home with cedar siding. This renovation took place in 1985. > > In 2009, having moved, I had this company remodel my kitchen which required relocating the kitchen to an adjoining space. This was a large project that included re-configuring the total space. > I have always had excellent results as Jamie Zalewski has an aesthetic sense that is in tune with mine. I find him easy to work with and insistent on beautiful workmanship. The workmen are a delight to be around as they are proud of their workmanship , neat, clean and personable. > > I am very pleased with the outcome of both projects and only have good things to say about the whole process. **★★★★★ — Elvis, June 2014** > Remodel of kitchen/dining area, porch/deck addition as well as redesign and expansion of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. This company is dependable, creative and flexible. They were able to transform my ideas of a "home" into an even better version. I am very pleased with the results and will hire them for future projects. I highly recommend Kershaw-Zalewski Associates Inc. **★★★★★ — kevintwomey, May 2014** > We used Jamie and his crew on a kitchen project and have since used them for another. Was always knowledgable, professional and willing to listen to our ideas and concerns. Was able to blend 21st century technology and convenience with the rest of our 18th century home. **★★★★★ — ritchieaar, April 2014** > This is the second time we hired this firm. Twenty years ago they installed a completely new renovated kitchen for us with wood mode cabinets. The kitchen looks the same today as it did years ago. At the time of installation we had them run plumbing to a spare bedroom on the second floor where we wanted to build a master bath. Twenty years later, kids gone, we decided to put in a new master bath. We found that Kershaw-Zalewski was still working and hired them on the spot. We agreed on a price and told them to start while we were in Florida for three months. We left for Florida in January 2013 and returned home in April to a nearly completed master bath. The remarkable part was our home was very clean, no dust and the only change was a new bath were a spare bedroom was. This firm is truly professional and one you can leave your house keys to while you're gone. Project came in as planned and within agreed upon cost estimates. We would hire them again if we decide on a new project without reservation. I have attached photos for your review. **★★★★★ — theuglyduckling, April 2014** > We cannot say enough good things about Kershaw-Zalewski Associates Inc. > Jamie and his crew are reliable, detail oriented, very skilled and honest- we could go on and on. They also have excellent design sense. They do not cut corners to increase their profit. They also keep things squeaky clean while the project is underway- and ours was a very big project- so we could continue to comfortably live in our house. > Furthermore, they have been immediately available even after all of the invoices were paid- for any problem or question, small or large, related- or not related to their work. In this day and age, I am not sure where you can go to find such expertise. > They are sometimes accused of being on the expensive side, but I believe you get what you pay for- especially when it comes to Kershaw-Zalewski. Once we tried to "go it alone" on a project and were given a quote for a $50K heating system replacement in our old house. With the help of K-Z, we got the same job done in the same way for $30K, and had no project management responsibilities. On another project- new garage doors- we were completely satisfied with what the sub-contractor had done, but K-Z inspected and saw several flaws and made the sub-contractor re-do the job! So, definitely not too expensive in my mind! Overall, we have had a long and very successful relationship with K-Z and we recommend them without reservation. **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Soggs, April 2014** > Jamie and his team completed an addition and renovation on my home. My father was a contractor, and so my standards for such work are very high. Kershaw and Zalewski exceeded every one. Not only is their work beautiful, thoughtful and meticulous, they are considerate guests. Each day, their areas were thoroughly cleaned and they minimized intrusion into our daily lives by careful planning. My kids missed them when they were through! I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — hoggies, March 2014** > The firm of Kershaw/Zalewski have engineered two major home improvement projects for us; a complete bath and kitchen. Their ability to conceive of a design, expose the customer to unique and interesting products and fixtures, and then implementing the construction, is only surpassed by their work ethic. To use a PGA Tour branding slogan; "these guys are good." I'm not just saying that, rather I've lived and seen it first hand. I would never settle for another contractor. **★★★★★ — Carrie Matt, March 2014** > As an interior designer I have known and worked with Kershaw and Zalewski for more than 20 years on multiple projects, including my own. Their work is excellent with great care taken in every detail. They are professional, courteous and very easy to work with (even when my clients have changed their minds mid-project) I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — jeangvicks, March 2014** > Jamie Zalewski did a major renovation to our house, and subsequent smaller, but also complex projects. The quality of his work is exceptionally outstanding. He exceeded our expectations on every level. He followed our direction while offering creating suggestions that improved the project. His team and subcontractors were all very professional and trustworthy. I strongly recommend Jamie and his team and continue to call upon his expertise as new projects come up. **★★★★★ — cmandour, March 2014** > I was fortunate enough to have become connected with Kershaw Zalewski Associates, Inc. in the late 1980's and have continued working with them. Everyone in the business has gone above and beyond to make each of my 3 projects perfect! My first project, my kitchen, is efficient, attractive, and so user-friendly. My next project was my master bathroom/closet. If anyone can love a bathroom, I love mine. Jamie Zalewski's ability to complete my desires were amazing. He actually went over and above to design what I wanted and then to add new touches that made me realize that I will never touch that bathroom again! The last project was a new backyard deck. His design, his suggestions for materials, and his efficiency in the backyard that summer were of upmost importance since my daughter was getting married there. She looked beautiful descending from my beautiful deck! > Not to be forgotten were the men working for the K-Z company. Great workmanship, once again efficient, talented, and friendly. > I would highly recommend this company if you want top-notch workmanship. My husband, who can be picky, says that if we needed anything else done in our house, he would turn to Jamie. ## Selected projects - [Kitchen and Master Bedroom Suite Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-and-master-bedroom-suite-addition-pj-vj~4343489) - Location: Clinton, NY - Photos: 16 - [Kitchen Renovated](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-renovated-pj-vj~4302469) - Location: Herkimer, NY - Photos: 8 - [Loft Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/loft-renovation-pj-vj~497943) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Kitchen In Stone Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-in-stone-cottage-pj-vj~509156) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Double the House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/double-the-house-pj-vj~509152) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Custom Mahogany Garage Doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-mahogany-garage-doors-pj-vj~501102) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Located in Central NY these drab garage doors were replaced by gracefully arched, solid mahogany, carriage style overhead doors. - [Addition with Plaza Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/addition-with-plaza-patio-pj-vj~498681) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Contemporary Kitchen and Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchen-and-bath-pj-vj~498654) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Master Bedroom and Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bedroom-and-pool-pj-vj~497936) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Carriage House Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carriage-house-renovation-pj-vj~498553) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [White Kitchen With Two Tier Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-kitchen-with-two-tier-island-pj-vj~498545) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Kitchen and Family Room with Gallery](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-and-family-room-with-gallery-pj-vj~498489) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Paint Cherry Kitchen with Farm Sink](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paint-cherry-kitchen-with-farm-sink-pj-vj~498473) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Paint and Cherry Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paint-and-cherry-kitchen-pj-vj~498461) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Contemporary Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bath-pj-vj~497938) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/zalewski-associates-inc-pfvwus-pf~1703025165) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is best position for pot filler?** *(in Design Dilemma)* What is the best position for a pot filler - height from range and position relative to burners? I'm renovating my kitchen which is very contemporary and the pot filler is over a Wolf 48" range cooktop w/4 burners on the right, a griddle and 2 burners on the left (smallest one left rear). A: FYI the water in your pipes has spent a very long time in pipes on it's way to your house. Can't see where it would make a difference how long it sits in your pipes as long as the pot filler faucet is lead free. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
