Universal Designers in Mamaroneck

“I thought that finding an honest contractor who follows through with what they promise would be impossible but decided to take the chance with Essential and finally do my first renovation. I was very nervous at first but the contractor Peter was extremely patient and was with me every step of the way. His team which included a talented designer put together a picture perfect kitchen, powder bathroom and master bedroom bathroom. I was blown away by the attention to detail and if you’re looking for a wonderful experience limiting your stress level for such a major project then Peter and his team are a great fit.”

“I used Modern Tradition Kitchen & Bath and could not have been more pleased with the results. I moved into an apartment that was a complete gut job both kitchen and bath. Felipe and his expertise turned both rooms into what I had envisioned. From cabinets, to flooring and countertops everything was truly amazing. Felipe not only got me both kitchen and bathroom I asked for but was also on budget. I would highly recommend his first class service.”

“Rachel was able to create a beautiful and functional dining room space and I can't wait to host friends & family for dinners and holidays! She was such a pleasure to work with! I had a tall order and she was able to fill it. She sourced functional furniture, vintage pieces, unique artwork and all w/in the budget I set. I can't wait to work with Rachel again on another project!”

“We can’t say enough about the amazing way Alison renovated our 1960’s house from an outdated design that did not meet our needs to a beautifully functional design that we now love! We renovated our kitchen and two bathrooms, which can be a daunting task when the situation seems hopeless and you don’t know where to start. Alison brought a holistic approach to the design, creating a functional space that was consistent with the period of the house. She made sure the design worked well with the adjacent space, and helped us with every detail along the way including selection of tile, plumbing fixtures, flooring, appliances, etc… Our kitchen and our master bath were both extremely space challenged and very dated. Somehow Alison found space where there wasn't any before. Our master bath was a postage stamp sized cubicle with a closet style shower and 1960s green tile. Alison had the vision to expand that space into an adjacent closet while maximizing our other closet space in the master bedroom. She designed a beautiful walk-in shower with waterfall tiling and a new expanded vanity, which allows my wife and I to use the bathroom at the same time. We now have an expansive walk-in closet in our master bedroom without sacrificing significant space in the master bedroom. Our kitchen may have been even more of a challenge than our bathroom and the changes that Alison made completely transformed the functionality and beauty of the kitchen. We started with a 1960's galley kitchen with original cabinets, very limited storage space, an undersized oven, and laminated countertops that were space constrained with our microwave and other appliances. Cooking together in our old kitchen was an impossible task as we were constantly bumping into each other. Alison's vision for our kitchen included bumping out the kitchen wall adjacent to our dining room and using the space where the wall had been for new gas cooktop, serving area and additional cabinets. The dining room side of the expansion now includes beautiful glass cabinets that display our formal china. Alison totally reorganized the flow of the kitchen to allow several people to work in the kitchen comfortably. She expanded the entrance from our living room into the kitchen giving it a much more open feel. We now have over twice the amount of cabinet space we previously had and numerous features that make the kitchen far more functional. We are extremely grateful to Alison for make our home so much warmer and more beautiful.”

“Overall, great experience! We took advantage of the "house call" service -- for a fixed price we received a great deal of good advice and information on everything from the overall footprint of the space to the color of walls and furnishings. Our "house call" service was a process that involved several thorough and thoughtful conversations and face to face meetings, this is way more than a one shot consultation. In the end, we had a written report from Patti that summarized the concept and details we discussed and a good big picture idea for our project -- a huge help for us in starting out on this renovation!”

“Jonathan took the vision I had for our living room and made it a reality. He shared his tips and introduced us to local antique shops and professionals. Old furniture touched up and reupholstered along with unique touches, like Moroccan window screens as valances, make the room feel personal and inviting. I would work with Jonathan again and recommend him in a heartbeat.”

“Edward FitzPatrick of FitzPatrick designs is a pleasure to work with. He takes great pride in his craftsmanship and his attention to detail really shows in his work. Through the entire process, communication was excellent. Ed is both punctual and organized. My wife and I are extremely pleased with with our new kitchen and would never consider using any other contractor for future projects. With the thousands of contractors out there, Ed has really superseded our expectations and sets himself apart from the rest.”

“Majestic is such a gem. I have used them for two kitchens and have no complaints--a rarity for me! They have an exceptionally large showroom, carry a large range of upper end products and their employees are great. I recommend Nick highly as a designer. Not only did he create a drop dead gorgeous design, but he was constantly coming up with ways to save money without sacrificing quality. For example, I had put in granite counters six years ago and wanted to reuse them with my new kitchen. Everyone else I spoke to said it couldn't be done. Nick figured out that it could work if I used a farm sink. Bingo, $6k saved and I love the sink. During installation, Majestic's granite and delivery team saved the day. My kitchen was scheduled to be delivered during what turned out to be Hurricane Sandy. My friends all told me I'd be at the end of the queue, but the first day I had power restored they scheduled my delivery. They coordinated delivery by e-mail and everything happened like clockwork. I still don't know how it was possible to complete the project in a little over a week, but the Majestic-recommended contractor was also amazing!”

“Eileen is a superstar! We have worked with her for almost 2 years now. She redesigned our home office and the built-in shelves in our family room. We loved her work so much that we also hired her to furnish and design our recently purchased beach house in LI! She was able to set up all of the bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces before the Memorial Day holiday. Not an easy task - but she did it!! She is honest, reliable, creative and just super friendly to work with!!”

“Courtney was very courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. She continues to answer all of my questions and has walked me through the design and build process step by step.”
