Home Remodelers Near Paterson

“After 38 years in our "starter" home, it was time to update our too-small kitchen... we met with a couple of kitchen remodelers, but just didn't feel the fit was right - either the cabinet selections were not our taste, or we did not have confidence in the contractor. Then we were referred to Bob Dion of North Jersey Remodelers. From our first meeting with Bob and his son Chris, we were impressed with their straightforward honesty and approach to the project. Together, we sketched out our goals and some ideas... we talked, they listened; they talked we listened... Bob came back a couple weeks later with a plan and a detailed proposal that clearly stated what was included, what we were to supply, and what issues might incur additional cost. A great approach! We agreed on a potential start date, and Bob referred us to Excelsior Kitchens, a local vendor we were familiar with, for detailed design and to supply the cabinets. We decided to go ahead with the project. After a few design revisions with Stephanie Aluzzo of Excelsior, we reached a final design and ordered our cabinets in December. The work started in mid January, with Bob's sons Rob and Chris. Gutting the kitchen down to the studs; electrical rough-in, lighting installation, inspections, leveling the floor, Rob installed the floor tile... finally the cabinets arrived, and Rob began the installation. As often happens, things don't always go according to plan and we had to make some design changes. Rob handled these with confidence and grace and patience with our changes. They brought in a great finish carpenter - Keith Horn - to install the crown and light rail moldings, and he did a flawless job. Chris guided us through the process of choosing and ordering our granite countertop - and we would have been lost without his help! Rob then finished up with the subway tile backsplash. He too, is a perfectionist. We love our new kitchen! And we could not be happier with Bob, Rob, and Chris. They managed the project efficiently, coordinating all subcontractors, advising us throughout, and quickly adjusted to our changes with out complaint.”

“Ron Pillar Construction is the GOLD STANDARD of what everyone wants in a contractor. Ron is friendly, professional, trustworthy and TALENTED!! I call him the Michelangelo of sheetrock! After moving into our home, we needed many smaller jobs done asap, including the installation of a bathroom fan, repair of a chimney, installation of two bedroom ceiling fans, replacement of and vented a microwave oven, replaced a kitchen sink/faucets, replaced a rotted out sliding patio door and doorframe, removed a "doggie door," removed three wall-sized bathroom mirrors/repaired the walls underneath, installed new mirrors, replaced light fixtures, etc. Ron did all of these jobs with great finesse. We look forward to other home projects with Ron now that we are settled into our home. Ron listens to ideas, creatively makes visions a reality, and shows up on time, every time. Ron is in high demand, but is very much worth the wait, no matter how long!”

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Clawson Architects on our full-home renovation. We came to our first meeting with three goals for the project: a second floor addition, plenty of natural light and a design which relates to and elevates the existing neighborhood. From that moment to the final completion, Marvin and the team were fully committed to working with us to understand what that meant and how it could be achieved within our budget. The whole process felt like a true collaboration and resulted in a home which fulfils everything we were hoping to get from it. It's been amazing to see the way the light flooding into the house changes as we start to shift seasons and how the flow through the house has been refined to suit our own personal needs. The design itself has the exact balance of mid century and contemporary which we were hoping to achieve. We've received numerous lovely comments from our neighbours and noticed how almost everyone who passes by cranes their neck to take in the building - I think we've really made something special which doesn't just make us happy but is really putting something back into area. Friends, family and colleagues have asked us about the renovation process, expecting us to have all these crazy stories about how hard and stressful it was. But in truth, although there were certainly bumps in the road, we have actively and thoroughly enjoyed the project from start to end. We put that down to the amazing teams of people we were able to work with.”
