Paul Lopa Designs

I had the pleasure of working with Paul and his team on a basement renovation last year. I can't praise them highly enough. Paul was collaborative and open to my ideas, while still offering his expert help and guidance. His contracts and estimates are detailed and easy to understand, and he stayed on budget and on time. His crew is also truly wonderful which really sets this team apart, since that is who is in your home day after day. They are kind, professional, clean, and very detail oriented. I had a 1 year old baby at the time of this renovation so this was very important to me and i just could not be happier with how everything came out.

Sincere , meticulous , intelligent work . As a person he is very personable and he can individualize the plan as per need and ability of the customer. He reviewed the plan over and over again ,made the necessary changes in the plan and construction as per needed. He did not get irritated upon our repeated requests to change the modality of design and structure. He finished the project on time.

Paul Lopa designs is currently renovating my kitchen , living room , dining room , hallway and three bedrooms. I’m excited to see my home completely renovated. Paul comes to my home every day and is always there for every step of the job. Grace & Fran the designing team are so talented I trust them completely. I purchased cabinets from Paul at his store the Cabinet Factory on New Dorp lane where there were so many cabinets and elements to my home renovation to choose from. Paul made me a computer diagrams of exactly what the outcome will be. I will put before & after pictures on this site when the job is completed. My husband & I are so delighted that we hired such a professional and talented person Paul Lopa & his team of designers. I love the fact that I was able to purchase my floors, quartz counter tops , my appliances, cabinets, sink , light fixtures and even the handles . One stop shopping !! Makes my life easier , I highly recommend Paul Lopa Design and Cabinet Planted. They are making this job so much easier by having peace of mind and have their own expertise of service.

Paul Lopa designs is definitely the way to go if you want someone who is passionate, professional, and honest. I used Paul for a complete reno on my 1st home purchase. It was a complete mess. I had no idea what I got myself into. On the walk through with Paul and Fran the eased my worries with how confident they were that the house would turn out beautiful. Paul didn't seemed phased by the project at hand. And Fran was able to vision the potential of each room. So the design process begins. First I was instructed to install a special app that would organize and keep track of all decisions made by me and a completed list of our entire budget. I was sent choices to choose from for all finishing for my dream home. When I was torn or just too overwhelmed to make a decision Paul and Fran were not afraid to share there artistic view and only had our best interest at heart. They really took the time to get to know what I wanted and did everything to assure that it would get done in a timely manner. Most importantly Paul worked very hard to stay within our budget without compromising the integrity of his work. He was always available to oversee the progress of the project. If he could not be physically at project he was a phone call away and always communicated with me and his employees, who were very hard workers. They were professional and respectful. The house turned out better than I could have imagined and I'm so happy with my decision to hire Paul Lopa designs.

My family and I are so glad we made the choice of hiring Paul Lopa. Our bathroom was about 30 years old and quite outdated. I explained to Paul I wanted a modern look and at the same time I wanted a bathroom that was done right and not need constant repairs. I am so happy to say the man delivered on his promise. My family now has the luxury of having our own spa like bathroom which I have only seen in expensive hotels. I also know from the way he made sure that my floors were water proofed and that all the old pipes and wiring was removed that he did right by me. I can say that it was worth every penny we put into it. Now i have to go and save up some more money so I can have Paul remodel my kitchen.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Paul and his team! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and driven to get the project done. I've worked with many contractors, and it's rare to find a team so dedicated to making the job flow seamlessly. The job was no easy task, and Paul and his team never backed down from the challenge. From demo, to tile, install and painting they got it done perfectly. I would highly recommend Paul Lopa to my clients for a smooth job.

I started my search for a contractor about a year before I hired Paul to do a kitchen and bathroom renovation. This was my first time at the bat, and I really had no idea what to expect. I had many contractor proposals that swung wildly in price but for some reason I never felt inclined to hire any of the guys I met with. I happened to be looking at Houzz one day and came across Paul’s company and he had very good reviews. I gave him a call and he came to my apartment quickly. I liked him immediately when we met. I thought it was strange that he asked me for my budget and how much I wanted to spend but in hindsight, providing that information allowed Paul to come back to me with a very detailed proposal based on my budget. I soon realized that the lower proposals I had did not include many of the budget items that would be necessary to complete the job. Paul laid out the pricing and provided a very reasonable “allowance” based on your measurements for tile, toilet, sinks, etc. It is up to you to stay within that allowance. Another reason I hired Paul was because of his design skills. Paul met me in the at tile stores several times and helped guide me in choosing tile and a style for the bathroom that really looks beautiful. I fought him a little but in the end, was glad I went with his recommendations. He also uses a kitchen cabinet maker so all the cabinets are custom to what you want. Paul also has a great customer website that allows you to see all the expenses, make choices, and easily communicate with him. If you are planning to do a renovation, I think it helps to plan for the worst and hope for the best. I live in a co-op and we had a couple of little glitches and Paul was always quick to resolve issues as they arose. He was extremely responsive and really cared about the work and doing a good job. I would definitely hire Paul again if I needed a contractor.

Prior to contacting Paul Lopa Designs, we met with other contractors who could not see our vision of what we wanted in a kitchen renovation. Most of them had the same concept, using the same boring floor plan, which was not what we were looking for. Paul took it several steps further and provided us with a beautiful kitchen design. We hired Paul and his team. The original design from the builder in 2001 left us with limited space due to a laundry room that was located behind the kitchen wall. Paul was able to open up the space and relocate the laundry room to the basement, which provided us with ample room in both areas. Paul relocated our door to the garage, which provided an optional entry point as well as a utility closet. As we got the renovation underway, we also decided to expand a powder room on the first floor adding a stand up shower. Paul also suggested we change the flooring on the entire first floor to a hardwood European Oak that turned out exquisitely. Paul also installed all new doors, moldings and refinished the entryway stairway. Our entire first floor was transformed. Our renovation is like no other in our community. We walk in the door and we still cannot believe it is our home. Thank you. Paul and his team were there every step from picking out the selections for the new design plan to the final touches. The Paul Lopa Designs app was very easy to use and kept all of our selections and documents in one place. It was a pleasure working with Paul and his team. They kept the work area clean of debris and most important showed up every day on time. We will definitely use Paul Lopa Designs again on our future projects. See you in the spring!!!

Paul has an eye for detail and is easy to work with. He is completely professional in everything he does but, also has a human side that allows him to listen to whatever you have to say concerning the project. He transformed our dining room and breakfast room into something worth walking into in the morning. I would most certainly recommend Paul Lopa !

Paul helped us change our outdated kitchen with breakfast nook into a modern kitchen with 1/2 bath. He guided us in choosing styles, materials, and appliances with a designer's aesthetic. We signed the contract in April and the work began in June. We had a baby due in early August and were racing against that deadline to get the job done. Paul was very invested in accomplishing that goal. We were very relieved when we had a kitchen sink , cabinetry, counter top and running water before the baby came. Paul has a keen eye for design and suggested elements we would not have thought of ourselves that we now really appreciate. He was very responsive to us via text and email. And always available to respond to our concerns and queries in a professional manner. His team was respectful and easy to work with. Through Paul we found appliances at better prices than we could find ourselves. It was a really good experience.

I hired Paul Lopa Designs to renovate two bathrooms in my home. He worked closly with us from start to finish. He gave us a proposal, took us to showrooms and oversaw construction from beginning to end. Both he and his workers were professional. They protected the rest of the house from damaged and left the house spotless at the end of the day. Paul also went over costs constantly so there were no surprises. The finished product exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Paul Lopa Designs and would definitely work with him in the future.

We hired Paul Lopa to remodel our master bathroom. During the project, we increased the work to include upgrading all mouldings and replaced all interior doors including our front door. We are very pleased with his work. There were no hidden costs, he followed through on every last detail and did so in a timely manner. He guided us toward materials that were of a higher quality to prevent problems down the road. His team was respectful of our home and did their best to protect our belongings from the renovation destruction. We will definitely hire Paul Lopa again for future renovations.
