They listened to our ideas, asked the right questions, and came up with a design that is even better than we imagined. > The best part is seeing everyone's reaction. Every single person who has walked into our house just stops and says, "Wow!" That's true whether they remember our old kitchen or are seeing it for the first time. > Steven and the entire team were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Everyone was professional, easy to work with, and the project was completed on time just as promised. > We love our new kitchen and would recommend Kitchen Expressions without hesitation. Thank you for turning our vision into something even better than we imagined! **★★★★★ — Christine, July 2026** > Steven and his team were wonderful from the beginning. His meticulous measurements and vision allowed us to maximize our space. He presented us with multiple options and worked to fulfill both our needs and wants for our new kitchen. From the cabinets, to the amazing countertops and fabulous floor: our kitchen has been truly transformed. We absolutely love it. > Thank you! **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Thank you for the wonderful review Christine! It was such a pleasure working with you and helping you with the transformation of your kitchen! **★★★★★ — Scott Menzer, July 2026** > Steven and Kitchen Expressions were fantastic to work with for our kitchen remodel. > > From the very beginning, Steven was extremely responsive and made us feel like he genuinely had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. We actually started designing our kitchen about two years before we were ready to pull the trigger on the project, and Steven was incredibly flexible with us through that whole extended timeline, never rushing us or losing patience. > > Steven brought a lot of valuable expertise to the table, offering solid advice and best practices based on his experience, but he never imposed his own preferences on us. When we had different ideas, he respected our vision and helped us execute it. He was also very hands-on, coming by the house many times to check in and support us along the way. > > Beyond the kitchen itself, we also had a small side project for our deck, building a custom cabinet/countertop area to house our grill, and Steven supported us on that as well without hesitation. > > The end product is high quality, and the whole experience left us extremely happy. I would strongly recommend Steven and Kitchen Expressions to anyone in the region looking to do a kitchen renovation. **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Thank you Scott! This was our second project together and we had even more fun this time! We wish you great times and wonderful meals in your beautiful new kitchen! **★★★★★ — Mike, April 2026** > Steven & Linda from Kitchen Expressions were off the charts helpful! It was evident from day one how much they genuinely cared about our project and our wishes. Their GC Frank was also excellent as were each and every trade sub that they brought in. Results were better than we imagined. We highly recommend them! **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Mike - thank you for the kind words - they mean the world to us! Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to work with you - it was a pleasure working with you and the results are incredible! **★★★★★ — Katie Albert, Feb. 2026** > After having a bad experience with another contractor, I am so happy that I got the recommendation to work with Steven and the Kitchen Expressions crew. We did a complete bathroom renovation. They planned out everything in a program, so it was easy to see how everything would look. They also work with exceptional contractors. Not everything went smoothly, due to unforeseen circumstances regarding tiles, but Steve and our lead contractor made sure that things turned out well at the end. They work hard to complete the project well and efficiently. We are very-very happy with the result! Highly recommend! **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Thank you for the wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure working with you to bring your vision to life. We're thrilled to hear how happy you are with the final result! **★★★★★ — Carsten, Jan. 2026** > We could not have had a better experience with Kitchen Expressions. Steve and Linda are extraordinarily talented, detail-oriented, and client focused. Really nice people, and our project turned out beautifully. The quality of their work is exceptional, and we get joy out of how the spaces turned out every day. Most importantly Steve and Linda thought of every detail - how each change affects the aesthetic and function of the whole project. They carefully measured everything, planned every detail, and created 3D renderings. Each part of the project was finalized and ordered in time for the relevant construction phase. I am amazed that it pretty much worked out flawlessly -- a testament to their capability and experience. They have a huge range of tile, fixture, cabinetry, glass, and appliance vendors to consider. They have long-standing relationships with their vendors and contractors. We worked with Mark from CCBF who was a rockstar. Communicated well, worked with utmost accuracy -- smart, highly capable, and a great guy. The same was true for the incredible network of people who did the tiles, electric, water, etc. We had two small changes that we wanted after our project was complete. Steve and his team helped us immediately as if it had been part of the original project. We could not recommend Steven, Linda, and the Kitchen Expressions team more highly. We are grateful to have worked with them. **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Great Project! Incredible Results! A truly wonderful transformation for your beautiful home! Thank you for working with Kitchen Expressions! **★★★★★ — Ellen, Oct. 2025** > Steven, Linda and Ilana were consistently knowledgeable, professional, cooperative, honest, and overall made our experience 100% positive and successful. They were always available, and made an effort to understand our needs and dreams. All of the other involved professionals which they recommended were top rate. From design to installation to follow up, Kitchen Expressions created a wonderful experience. We cannot recommend them highly enough. **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Ellen/Mike - Thank you for providing us with the privilege of working with you! The finished project is incredible and we hope you love your incredible new Kitchen and Primary Bath! **★★★★★ — Alison G, Oct. 2025** > Steven and his entire team are simply the best. They guide you through the entire process, no detail is missed, recommendations are always on point, and they could not be nicer or more fun to work with. The contractors they work with are also top notch- communication is always timely, and the final product has exceeded my expectations. **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Thank you Alison! We loved working with you! Your new Master Bath and your new Kitchen Island are gorgeous! We look forward to our next project together! **★★★★★ — HU-889065142, Aug. 2025** > Steven is a wonderful professional to work with and offered many design suggestions that gave our new bathroom a clean crisp look that exudes quality! **★★★★★ — stephanieweinstein, April 2025** > Kitchen Expressions was so creative in designing my kitchen. They were professional and always available and my kitchen was done so quickly. It was a total pleasure working with them and I absolutely love my new space. **★★★★★ — bgrimm1, April 2025** > I can't say enough good things about Steven and Linda. We love our new kitchen and powder room. The entire project was done in a timely manner and all the contractors were craftsmen and courteous . A special shout out to Linda's design of the powder room which is stunning. We are extremely satisfied and highly recommend Kitchen Expressions. > Mark and Bobbe Grimm **Comment from Kitchen Expressions:** > Thank you for allowing us to have the privilege of working with you and for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — JimN, March 2025** > We had a small but difficult design problem involving the replacement of a built-in refrigerator in a very tight space. Linda Klein was extremely helpful in steering us in the right direction. She did some research, came to our home to briefly size up the situation, and gave us good advice regarding alternatives. Her knowlege, experience, and willingness to be helpful was greatly appreciated. ## Selected projects - [Eclectic Transitional Morristown Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-transitional-morristown-kitchen-pj-vj~3027974) - Location: Morristown, NJ - Photos: 7 - [Contemporary Livingston Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-livingston-kitchen-pj-vj~2563921) - Location: Livingston, NJ - Photos: 4 - [Modern Tenafly Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-tenafly-kitchen-pj-vj~2727767) - Location: Tenafly, NJ - Photos: 3 - [Transitional Luxury Barn Bedminster Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-luxury-barn-bedminster-kitchen-pj-vj~2396744) - Location: Bedminster Township, NJ - Photos: 4 - [Transitional Berkeley Heights Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-berkeley-heights-kitchen-pj-vj~2396612) - Location: Berkeley Heights, NJ - Photos: 3 - [Elegant Berkeley Heights Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-berkeley-heights-basement-pj-vj~2727826) - Location: Berkeley Heights, NJ - Photos: 4 - [Powder Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/powder-rooms-pj-vj~2801679) - Location: Berkeley Heights, NJ - Photos: 6 - [Stunning White Kitchen with Black Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stunning-white-kitchen-with-black-island-pj-vj~7781711) - Location: Millburn, New Jersey - Photos: 2 - [Beautiful White and Navy Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beautiful-white-and-navy-kitchen-pj-vj~7781700) - Location: Chatham, New Jersey - Photos: 2 - [Elegant White Kitchen with Gold Accents](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-white-kitchen-with-gold-accents-pj-vj~7781675) - Location: Far Hills, New Jersey - Photos: 4 - [Timeless Blend East Hanover Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-blend-east-hanover-kitchen-pj-vj~7615360) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Spectacular Summit Apartment Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spectacular-summit-apartment-transformation-pj-vj~6407393) - Location: Summit, NJ - Photos: 8 - Description: A Complete Apartment Renovation including Wall Removal, Brand New Kitchen, Two New Baths, Two Bedrooms, New Floors Throughout, Painting, Closets, Moldings and More!
