**★★★★★ — rkmcdonough1, Dec. 2015**

> We were very happy with Sawhorse Designs.  They made the process manageable and easy.  Their vast knowledge and contacts made our project flow smoothly.  Our kitchen is a comfortable beautiful lived-in space which we are truly enjoying.

**★★★★★ — annpaetz, Dec. 2015**

> True to time, quality and professionalism, Tom McCloskey always knows how to deliver. Not our first job with Sawhorse. Tom finished our provincial kitchen in Short Hills years ago. Lately, we tapped his company again to do a handsome modern installation in our retirement home.
>
> To Tom the smallest detail was quite important. Pleasure to do business with?

**★★★★★ — Kountry Kraft, Sept. 2015**

> We have been working with Sawhorse Designs for some time now.  They have been nothing but a pleasure with which to work and collaborate.  We couldn't be more pleased to have them as a valued institution.  We highly recommend them!

**★★★★★ — Shirley Horbatt, Sept. 2015**

> Sawhorse Designs handled the design and cabinet installation of our completely remodeled kitchen.  The design consultant listened attentively and was patient as I reviewed a myriad of styles and options.  She offered experienced insight, accompanied me to several granite yards, and helped me select a slab I continue to admire.
> There were neither delays nor cost overrides.  Tom was on-site each day during installation.  The skill of his cabinet installer was evident in how well all the pieces fit together.  Tom oversaw everything.  For example, he made sure that the cherry dishwasher panel and pull-out storage racks were correctly installed.  He noticed details that I would have overlooked such as preventing cabinet doors from hitting each other as they were opened.

**★★★★★ — douglasgarfield, March 2015**

> We hired Sawhorse design to remodel our kitchen Oct 2013. We  are extremely happy with the results. Everything happened on time and went off without a glitch. The designers also worked with us to get our kitchen into our budget and they gave us a very fair price. They made great suggestions and we received exceptional service. I would highly recommend Sawhorse design if you are considering remodeling your kitchen.

**★★★★★ — Alan Glicklich, Oct. 2014**

> We hired Sawhorse Design to design our kitchen for our Madison, NJ home renovation.  Tom and his team did an outstanding job in the design aspect and we were more than satisfied with the quality of the Kountry Kraft custom cabinets.  The job was completed on time and on budget.  Given, the high quality of the cabinets and the installation we felt that we received an excellent value!

**★★★★★ — mvromeo15, July 2013**

> Tom is a gentleman and a professional. Just the person you want to trust with your kitchen design project. He takes you through the design process with consideration for usability, style, features, functionality, aesthetic and budget and will help guide you in the right direction with honesty and integrity.

**★★★★★ — maureen214, May 2013**

> Sawhorse has designed and installed 2 kitchens for us now and we are completely happy with both. Tom, the owner, has a great deal of experience and is equally at home with function and design.  In both instances he was also able to deliver the look we wanted for the price we had in mind. His designers were patient and took the time to get the details that we wanted right.  Although we shopped around we ended up using the stone fabricators and appliance store Sawhorse recommended and were well served by both as well as by the custom range hood he recommended - my husband loves that range hood since he is the cook in the house. They are great - very easy to work with - I can't say enough good things.
