Very happy customers!

From start to finish, Andrew K. and Gerry G. at New Jersey Kitchens and Baths performed the highest quality of work on our kitchen and powder room gut and renovation. We were very pleased with how they worked with us during the design process, always respecting our vision of what we were hoping for and doing all they could to make that happen. The company delivered everything they promised with attention to detail, and on schedule. The crew, led by Al Figueiredo, were professional, courteous, and exhibited expert workmanship. They were careful to clean up well after each day. All of these points made it a pleasure to work with them. We couldn’t be happier with our stylish new kitchen and attached powder room. New Jersey Kitchens and Baths is a superior company and we recommend them highly for anyone who is looking to complete a successful renovation.

NJ Kitchens and Baths did an amazing job with our kitchen. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Gerry, Andrew and the rest of the install team were the upmost professionals; Gerry had great recommendations for the layout of the kitchen which worked perfectly. Andrew and Derek were completely dedicated to our project the whole way through. Everything was completed in record time and the quality is outstanding. Even when we had one issue with the way the granite people wanted to cut our granite for our countertop, Andrew handled this promptly and remediated the issue for us to our satisfaction. We highly recommend NJ Kitchen and Baths and would not hesitate to use them again.

Great work

This company is fantastic! They remodeled our bathroom and did a great job. Very precise work. Very skilled, knowledgeable, and adaptable to changes. Very clean work. Arrives when scheduled. Works all day and organized. Requested a paint job of a hallway while the bathroom was being remodeled and it was no problem for them and fairly priced. We would highly recommend this company for bathroom remodeling.

Wonderful work

We were so pleased with the outcome of our bath remodel. The crew was pleasant & neat as a pin. Any issues were quickly dealt with by Andrew and the project manager. The tile work was beautiful! Thanks so much the Andrew and his team!

Absolutely Beautiful

NJ Kitchens & Baths did an incredible job on my guest bathroom. From the initial consultation to the final inspections, everyone was professional and the entire process went smoothly. The work they did is absolutely beautiful. The attention to every detail ensured the job was done right and to my satisfaction.

Honest, Transparent and Fair

We read most of the reviews at various sites and honestly, they sounded almost too good to be true. We had to check out NJ Kitchens and Baths. It was a great decision. Dealing with Andrew was a pleasure. We found him to be honest, transparent and fair. He showed up on time and always responded to our phone calls and emails. On the rare occasions that he was delayed, we received a phone call. There is nothing more frustrating than contractors who are unresponsive. There was none of that.

We did a bathroom renovation in late summer of 2017. We were told to expect some surprises after the room was gutted as it is an older house that had prior, poor-quality renovations. There were some significant obstacles, but they were handled quickly and reasonably. The finished product was beyond our expectations.

His workers and sub-contractors were pleasant, professional and highly skilled. They left the job site neat at the end of each day. The job went smoothly and was completed on time despite several obstacles. Each of the inspectors not only passed the inspections, but also commented on the high quality of the work. That is very good to hear.

The list of references we received prior to signing was impressive; there were 76 references from 2011-2016. That is a testament to the consistent quality of work that we also experienced. We will be adding our names to the list.

We are currently in the middle of a kitchen/dining room renovation. There was never a question that NJ Kitchens and Baths would be doing it. Enough said.

Personalized Attention

NJ Kitchens and Baths did an excellent job in my master and guest baths. Everything was done in a professional and very competent manner. Even though my project was most likely smaller than some other projects that NJ Kitchens & Baths handle, I appreciated the personalized attention that it was given. I highly recommend Andrew & his team!!

Very Happy with our Finished Product

We are very happy with the finished product for our Master Bathroom renovation.  The people assigned to work on our project brought a very high standard for their work and were open to our questions, comments and suggestions throughout the project.
Andrew's office managed all the permitting and all of the inspections were passed without a lot of drama. Thomas and Andrew did a great job of staying in touch with us about what to expect in terms of who was showing up when to do what kind of work. They were sensitive to minimizing the impact on the rest of the house while the project was in progress. During the project demolition there were some surprises. Andrew and his team were quick to figure out what going on then connect with the necessary additional people to make the repairs. We would use them again.

'Old World' Attention

Andrew and his team completely remodeled two of our bathrooms, including our master bath. We found the team to be prompt, courteous, responsive to our needs and suggestions, and forthcoming with their experience on how to tackle certain aspects of the project. We are completely satisfied with their 'old world' attention to detail and workmanship. We had extensive tile-work patterns to be completed throughout both bathrooms and the workmanship is accurate and beautiful. The master bath was completely re-oriented, changing the layout of sinks and cabinetry 90 degrees, installing a freestanding bathtub and creating a new glassed-in and vented shower enclosure. The project started and finished within our anticipated schedule and completed within our agreed upon budget. Please feel free to contact Andrew and his team without reservation. We would use them again. It was a pleasure to work with them.

 by Michael Pace

My wife and I were looking to do our bathroom for a few years. We had some ideas and met with a few contractors along the way. We gave Andrew a call at NJ kitchens and Baths earlier this year. Our first impression is that he was knowledgeable and transparent. Didn't make us feel pressured in any way. We went ahead and remodeled our family bathroom. Overall the process went rather smoothly. They assisted us on selecting tiles and fixtures and the crew was neat punctual and respected our home. Their electrician and plumber were also of the same standards. We were always kept informed of the process and the end result looks beautiful. No horror stories here. We highly recommend them.

 by Frank C
On Time and On Budget

Our entire master bath project was completed on time and on budget. Workers were neat and efficient. Sub-trades hired were also solid. At all times we were kept updated as to timing and budget progress.

 by Marc and Louise Sverdlove
Our Dream Bathroom

I hired this company, because their contract included a detailed statement of work to be preformed. Our home was built in the 1930's and the bathrooms had never been upgraded. When a copper water pipe developed pinholes, it was time. We wanted period appropriate style bathrooms with all the modern updates. The bathrooms were gutted to the studs, squared and made level, all new plumbing, starting in the basement, and all new wiring and the electrician put in a dedicated line. Of course, the bathrooms had to be tiled. What can we say, even the building inspector for zoning said, WOW and he had inspected some very pricey bathrooms in this town. If you have a Dream Bathroom in mind, Andrew and NJ Kitchen and Baths can make it come true.

 by Brett Gaines
Great Job

These guys did a great job giving us a brand new kitchen that really pops. Added a lot of value to our home and give us a space we enjoy spending time in. There was a lot of attention to detail and they worked with all of our needs.

 by Leticia Lugo
Exceptional

I am writing this review because I think that NJ Kitchens and Baths deserves it more than any other contractor that I’ve ever worked with. In all honesty, the moment I spoke to their architect, I felt very comfortable but had so much difficulty pulling the trigger because of all the contractor horror stories out there. Andrew (owner) is the real deal. He runs a highly professional, and more importantly, trustworthy company. He’s the most honest and thoughtful contractor you’ll ever meet. He will ensure that you are fully happy with the process and the end result. The entire team was awesome and made this experience such a breeze. They explained every detail of the process so that there weren’t any surprises along the way. Amazing attention to detail and incredibly responsive. I was pleasantly surprised with the timeline and they really went above and beyond my expectations. Andrew made sure that his team took the extra measure to clean up and keep debris to a minimum so that it wouldn’t impact my asthma. These guys are full service -- from creating the design to following through in making it exactly as it was planned. Everyone worked hard and made my dreams come true. Each of the these wonderful people took the time to explain everything they were doing during the course of the project and were always professional, patient and courteous. Some may think the cost is higher but you get what you pay for. I am thoroughly happy and satisfied with how my bathroom renovation project turned out. I look forward to having them work on my second bathroom (a master bath). I will forever be a devoted customer. And, as much as I didn’t want to write this review for fearing that their clientele would grow to a point where I couldn’t hire them again, I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a contractor. There are truly no words to explain the joy I feel today with the completion of the bathroom. I would definitely hire them again and would recommend them without any reservation. Thank you Andrew and please convey my heartfelt thanks to your team.

Bathroom remodel

We had a bathroom redo this past fall and chose N.J. Kitchen & Baths as they had renovated one of our bathrooms in 2015 and we were very pleased with the results.
To start, we appreciated that John, the designer, went out of his way to come up with several options for the new bathroom. He was extremely courteous, helpful, and patient.
Once the work began, Carlos and his crew dedicated themselves to professionally managing every detail, going out of their way to make sure everything was done perfectly and to our satisfaction. They always cleaned up afterward and took care to manage problems efficiently.
All the while Andrew kept tabs on everything and went out of his way to be helpful and make sure every detail was followed up on if needed.
Although not the cheapest, we felt that this company was professional, honest and dependable. While you expect good work, not every company is willing to come back once they’ve been paid. Highly recommended.

 by Kathleen McDermott
Wonderful Job

Andrew & NJK&B renovated our master bath Autumn 2015. We remain delighted. Beautiful design. Great workmanship. Our circa 1800 house presented challenges that were handled with skill. Andrew & his staff were a pleasure to deal with. All his subcontractors were experienced, proficient, polite, friendly & tidy. His materials suppliers were excellent. Cost in line with other quotes. Job completed in timely fashion. Great company! Would use again.

 by Lucas Hammonds
Outstanding

NJ Kitchens and Baths is outstanding to work with. Andrew and his team are skilled, professional, and responsive. They did outstanding work at every stage of our bathroom project from planning through demolition, installation, and finishing. We couldn't be happier and would not hesitate to recommend them.

 by Jody Mullen
Extremely Satisfied

We contacted NJ Kitchens and Baths to renovate our two upstairs bathrooms and have been extremely happy with the results. The owner, Andrew, supervised every aspect of the process and was communicative and professional throughout. John came up with attractive, functional designs that maximized the available space and gave our '80s-era bathrooms a much-needed update. The crew did an excellent job showing strong craftsmanship and great attention to detail, and all of the recommended vendors, including the painting crew, met the same high standards. We are extremely satisfied customers and give the highest possible recommendation.

 by Rob Flaherty
Quality of Work is Outstanding

The quality of the work is outstanding. Carlos, the crew leader is amazing. His work is perfect, and he keeps you in the loop the entire time making sure every single aspect of the job is exactly how you want it to be. He takes no shortcuts and is honest and caring. He takes pride in his work and makes sure it is perfect. He is a true artist when it comes to laying tile and doing all the carpentry. We ended up with the bathroom of our dreams and I cannot thank NJKB enough. I wouldn't have wanted anything to go differently. I would  recommend NJKB to anyone looking for a bathroom remodel or addition. I thank Andrew, John and Carlos for doing exactly what they said they would do, within the time frame they said they would do it.

 by Lydia
Very Pleased

We used NJ Kitchens and Baths for a complete renovation of the master bathroom in our 90-year-old home (including all the plumbing and electric, as well as a new floor plan, new fixtures, etc.) and could not be more pleased with the process and the outcome. Everyone we encountered through NJ Kitchens and Baths was incredibly knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and very patient with our numerous questions. Darek and his crew were not only highly skilled, but also friendly and courteous, taking exceeding care to to minimize disruptions to the rest of the house. Andrew, the owner, actually stopped by several times to make sure we were satisfied with how things were progressing. We would recommend NJ Kitchens and Baths without hesitation and will definitely be calling them again as future projects arise.

 by David Harris
Very Highly Recommended!

From the start, when John came to give us an estimate, we were impressed. He took time to answer all of our questions, sent drawings and diagrams, and gave us advice about purchases. After we agreed to the proposal Andrew, the owner, took over. We made it clear that the bathroom had to be finished by Thanksgiving. They started October 23 and finished November 24, 2015. We designed a complicated pattern for the tile, that required some creativity and real craftsmanship to construct. The crew, led by Carlos and Abner, was excellent and very professional and went the extra miles for us. We will use this group again in the spring for the renovation of our master bath. Very highly recommended.

 by Geoff Gingerich
These guys were great.

These guys were great. We got bids from a number of contractors to renovate our first floor including a new kitchen, move some walls, add a bath and replace our hardwood flooring. While they came in higher than most, their professionalism and experience gave us confidence that they could handle a job this big. When we met John and Andrew they really listened and then asked loads of good questions to get at what we wanted to achieve with the renovation. They provided detailed renderings of a number of options and then we further refined the plan, repeat. This allowed us to get at our needs for this work while they guided us to what was both feasible and within our budget. Once the work started it went fast. Despite hitting a few unexpected bumps in the project, the job was finished within a week or so of the target date. As with most big jobs some issues arose afterward, and they have been very responsive to quickly and efficiently address them. We are extremely pleased with our renovated first floor. They were a pleasure to work with and genuinely seemed concerned that we were satisfied every step of the way. We will definitely use them again for our next project.

Would definitely work with Andrew again

The experience with Andrew was very good from start to finish. Andrew is very organized and kept very good documentation throughout the project on what we agreed to and how we wanted the work finished. Although Andrew wasn’t onsite every day, he came by the house often to check on the status of the kitchen and answer any questions we had. From a cost perspective, we agreed on a cost up front and Andrew kept within that budget and didn’t nickel and dime us for any changes to the scope of work. The crew who did our kitchen was led by Darek, and they did a great job. Andrew does have a couple of preferred suppliers he works with for things like cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, tile, countertops, etc. We didn’t use all of his preferred vendors (which he was fine with) and with the exception of the countertop supplier, all of his preferred suppliers worked well for us. What is important to note is that when we did have an issue with the countertop, since it was one of the preferred suppliers he recommended to us, Andrew handled all of the back and forth with the supplier and went the extra mile to make things right (even when the supplier refused to fix the issue). Overall, it was a very good experience and I would highly recommend Andrew and NJ Kitchens and Baths to anyone doing a renovation.

Great Company!!

Excellent company to work with for home renovation. I hired NJ Kitchen and baths to remodel my only bathroom. All aspects of the process was made easy AND Andrew, the owner, supervised all aspects of the project. They were respectful of my house, time and choices. This was a very pleasant renovation experience. I will also add that there were some issues with electrical and plumbing upgrades that were outside of the project but Andrew took the time to walk through them with me to ensure I understood and to ensure the safety of the house. Cannot express enough how happy I was using NJ Kitchen and Baths!

Bathroom renovation

I wanted to renovate the master bathroom for several years. As with any major project, there was apprehension. My concern was unnecessary; the experience was exceptional. Carlos and his crew were amazing and collaborative. They are true craftsman and the end result is more beautiful than I could have imagined. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

 by Tom Foley
We would highly recommend them for any renovation

We used NJ Kitchen & Baths for our kitchen renovation and were vey pleased with the process and results! The workers were prompt, courteous and efficient and Andrew, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. We had heard other people describe their renovation experience as a nightmare, but this was definitely not the case with NJ Kitchen & Baths. We would highly recommend them for any renovation you may have.

 by Edward Lau
Punctual and cleaned up after themselves

NJ Kitchens and Baths managed a basement bathroom renovation where we converted a half bath into a full bath. Andrew was very detailed and provided us with a cost and time estimate. He also walked us through what to expect at each phase of the renovation. Anytime we had a question for him, he was quick to get back to us with an answer and reassurance.



His crew was always punctual and cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day, helping reduce the feel that we had major renovation going on.



We had other companies provide us with estimates but NJ Kitchens and Baths was the only one who provided us an estimate in very specific detail. Andrew's attention to detail is what made us feel confident that we were making the right decision in having NJ Kitchens and Baths do our bathroom renovation. NJ Kitchens and Baths managed all aspects of the renovation, from applying for permits to helping us pick our finishes. All work that was handled by sub-contractors was done in a timely and clean manner as well. We never had to worry about who was in our house while we were at work.

 by Ryan Sobray
We were extremely pleased with Andrew and his crew

NJ Kitchen & Baths fully renovated our master bathroom, taking it down to the stubs and starting fresh. All plumbing, electrical, tile, trim, everything was handled by NJ Kitchen & Bath and beautifully finished.



Andrew from NJ Kitchen & Baths made the entire process as smooth and seamless as it could have possibly been. He was our single point of contact throughout the entire renovation and was always up front, honest, and transparent with how the work would be done. His estimated price was substantially lower than the two other quotes we received despite providing a more comprehensive scope of service. Andrew handled all the permits, inspections and every other detail needed to get the project started.



The crew performing the work was there on time every day, did their best to limit the dust and dirt tracked into the house and always cleaned up after themselves before leaving. The end result was everything we had hoped for. We were extremely pleased with Andrew and his crew, and would absolutely use them again or recommend them to anyone is the area looking to redo a bathroom.

They were very professional, knowledgeable and efficient.

We wanted to remodel our bathroom. My friend recommended NJ Kitchens and Baths for she had a new bathroom installed. We went to see it and were pleased with the results. We immediately called them and when they said they were going to take it down to the studs, we were having second thoughts.



However, we decided to go with it. Best thing we ever did. They were very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. When the inspectors from the town came after the job was completed they said "Wow, fantastic remodeling!". We would not hesitate to recommend NJ Kitchens and Baths to anyone. Our thanks to each and every member of the work crew. They completely surprised us by cleaning up after each work day.



All our friends and relatives also expressed a "WOW". Thank you NJ Kitchens and Baths.

 by Justin Marr
A great attitude, great crew, honest quotes

I've worked on several occasions with Andrew on HGTV and DIY Network televisions shows. He's given us beautiful bathrooms and kitchens on shows like Dear Genevieve and Rescue My Renovation.



A great attitude, great crew, honest quotes and rooms that should be in a magazine.



Thanks for everything, Andrew.

 by Linda Cohen
We absolutely love our kitchen and bathrooms!

We were extremely pleased with their design, meticulous construction and delivery of our renovated kitchen and 3 bathrooms on budget and on schedule. Andrew, the owner, was attentive and instrumental in our obtaining competitive prices from tile, plumbing, countertop and other suppliers. In addition to being experienced, responsible and friendly professionals, the crew offered suggestions from time to time, and vacuumed their construction areas at the conclusion of every day. We absolutely love our kitchen and bathrooms!!! We recommend NJ Kitchens and Baths to everyone

 by Susan Schickedanz
Can't wait to use NJ Kitchens and Baths for our next project!

Our project entailed a total renovation of kitchen and eat-in kitchen area. We gutted to the studs and rafters, replaced ceiling, subfloor, dry wall, installed a new electrical panel, new recessed lighting, moved the gas line, installed a new island with cooktop and hood. We replaced and reframed an exterior door to become a window, installed new cabinets, tile flooring, backsplash, trim, appliances and painted throughout.



We also removed walls between the kitchen and dining room and between the dining room and living room requiring structural beams to be installed. Skim coated all existing drywall in those 2 rooms, repainted ceiling, walls and installed new trim throughout.



After interviewing 3 contractors, we decided to go with Andrew and NJ kitchens and Baths. We appreciated his down-to-earth attitude and it seemed like the communication would be easy with him. He didn't come in with an agenda or try to sell us something that we didn't want or need, he listened to what we wanted and helped us get there.



He started the project when he said he would and things moved fast and efficiently from the get-go. On our very first day (demo day), we discovered termite damage. Darek, the project lead brought it to our attention right away. Andrew addressed the issue quickly and provided a fair estimate without causing delay to the project.



Day after day, there was visible progress. NJ Kitchens and Baths crew were always on time, polite and left the house neat at the end of each workday. My husband commented that he had never seen such a clean crew in his 20 plus years as an Architect. This made living in the house during construction as easy as it could be. The crew were sensitive to all of us living in the house while they worked and they made things as clean and organized as possible. Derek and the crew paid attention to every detail. All of the subcontractors were excellent, from the neat wiring (complimented by our town inspector for his work) all the way to the quality paint job (nice straight lines) and everything in between.

All in all a great experience and cant wait to use NJ Kitchens and Baths for our next project!

 by Yi He
They did an excellent job!

After several interviews and estimates, we decided to go with New Jersey Kitchens and Bath for the guest bathroom remodel since Andrew is very honest and knowledgeable. Andrew started the job as promised. And he kept in touch with me via phone and email.

The crew are polite, respectful and very hard workers. They did their best to limit the dust and dirt tracked into the house and always cleaned up before leaving. They did an excellent job!



We were extremely pleased with Andrew and his team, and would absolutely use them again or recommend them to anyone who is looking to redo a bathroom.

 by Harriet Hall
We would recommend NJ Kitchens and Bath wholeheartedly!

NJ Kitchens and Baths remodeled my main bathroom and replaced 6 bedroom and closet doors. The price of the job included all the permit fees, labor (plumbing, electrical, tiling and painting) bathroom fixtures (not including wall and floor tiles), cost of doors, bathroom window replacement and some unanticipated plumbing and bathroom wall structural repairs.

Andrew Koutoudis, owner of NJ Kitchen and Baths, is one of the best contractors we have ever worked with on a home improvement project. The workers employed by the company are excellent and exhibit both professionalism and expert skills. They started the job and stayed until the project was finished. There was virtually no down time and the remodel was completed a few days before promised.



Andrew was prompt with the estimate and extremely attentive and available at all times during the process. Whenever we had a concern or issue he was just a phone call or e-mail away. He provided a list of preferred vendors and that made the project much easier for us.



Of course, with the age of our home (60 years old), there were some unexpected plumbing issues - pipes that were leaking and corroded in addition to structural problems once the tile was removed from the tub area. The wall studs were damaged and needed to be replaced in order for the remodel to pass the town building inspections. In each instance, Andrew immediately was on site to advise both the employees and us. The level of customer service was outstanding.



Our bathroom looks great. The combination of work, timeliness and customer service are exemplary - just what you would want from all contractors. We would recommend Andrew and NJ Kitchens and Bath wholeheartedly!

 by Marianne Klein
Andrew is professional and honest

I cannot recommend a better contractor. Andrew (the owner) is professional and honest. You don't find that often! He was thorough in his inspection of the problem, gave his opinion as well as other options as far as solutions to fit our needs and budget, and backs up his work. He stays on budget. We have used NJ Kitchens and Baths on several occasions and recommend them to anyone who needs work done. They have even built our large Trex deck, did our kitchen backsplash, added lighting to our kitchen, repaired our tile floors, painted our bathrooms, and refurbished our front porch! They are our go-to guys for any job. They are punctual and do amazing work and clean-up after themselves. You can trust these men to do the best job possible at the fairest price. Both Carlos' and Al's teams are knowledgable and true masters of their trades. On this particular job, the shower looks great, the leak is no more and you would never know that part of our ceiling and wall had to be replaced. The guys were so careful to protect the rest of the dining room (carpet and furniture). We are truly pleased.

I highly recommend NJ Kitchens and Baths to anyone

Andrew and the NJ Kitchens and Baths crew did a complete remodeling of my bathroom about 14 months ago. They installed new plumbing, wiring, cement wall, dry wall, fixtures, doors and paint--the whole shebang down to the studs. It looks great. Before the installations, Andrew and I discussed layout and fixtures. He told me to get whatever I wanted and he would install it. He made initial design suggestions and then we worked these with my own ideas. I got a couple of new ideas as the work went along and he incorporated those.

Andrew started the work when he said that he would and he completed it in the time that he said he would. He and his crew were professional and courteous, answering all questions that my wife and I put to them. His crew didn't even raise dust in the house outside the bathroom. He arranged for the township electrical, plumbing and building inspections.

About 10 months after the work was finished, I noticed some hairline cracks in the grout at the base of the tub. I called Andrew and he sent his crew chief to fix it two days later. If I decide to redo my kitchen, I won't consider any other contractor. I highly recommend NJ Kitchens and Baths to anyone looking for a contractor to remodel those areas in their house.

Our remodel experience was about as pleasant as it could be

We did a gut renovation of our kitchen in March/April 2014. We interviewed and collected bids from 3 different contractors specializing in kitchens & baths. We met with both John and Andrew of NJ Kitchens & Baths a few times in person before deciding to go with them. John (the designer) and Andrew (the GC) seemed knowledgeable and professional in their respective areas of expertise. Neither of the other two contractors we spoke with measured our kitchen correctly; one of them presented us with a design layout that was physically impossible based on the placement if existing doors & windows (which we had no intention of moving).



The kitchen project took about 7 weeks to complete (original timeline called for 6 weeks). It started about a week after originally scheduled due to extreme winter weather which was understandable. Overall, we spent about $60,000, which was about $10,000 more than anticipated due to severe termite damage in the framing, all of which had to be ripped out and replaced (this also accounts for the extra week). This was unforeseen as it was all hidden behind the walls and unfortunately the downside of living in an 80+yr old home.



The preferred vendors we worked with included MBA Cabinetry, Standard Tile, and Marvic.



Our project manager, Carlos, and one of his workers, Javier, worked hard and spent a couple of Saturdays working at the house to keep things moving along so that the subcontractors and inspections could go as planned without having to be rescheduled. They were good about cleaning up their work areas at the end of the day. Carlos and Andrew had good communication between the two of them though on some things it seemed it could be better, not sure if this was due to difference of opinion. For example, the timing of when the appliances would be hooked up was scheduled before certain other things on Andrew’s timeline, but Carlos had them hooked up after, which he felt was better for avoiding damage based on his past experiences. Regular communication between Andrew, John and my husband and me was maintained throughout the course of the project. Andrew used a shared Google calendar which mapped out all of the stages of the project and which days they were scheduled to occur. This made it easy to plan when one of us needed to be at the house, or if we needed to keep our dog out of the house due to noise, dust, etc.



Overall, considering the scope of the work, our remodel experience was about as pleasant as it could be. We had heard many horror stories about kitchen remodels so we were apprehensive going into it, but luckily we don’t really have any horror stories other than finding the termite damage, which obviously was not the fault of the contractor. We enjoyed working with Andrew, Carlos and the rest of their team. They were good about keeping the project moving along as we were expecting a baby in early May and wanted everything completed before he was born. We have recommended them to our friends & colleagues who are looking to do similar work.

The bathroom is everything I could have imagined and more

Andrew and his team renovated a master bath which was anything but master. The space is rather small and we wanted it redone from top to bottom. Andrew came in and gave my husband and I some good ideas on how to make the space look bigger. Once he and his team started, the process was completely smooth and easy. They were here at the same time every morning and took great care to cover the floors and carpets leading to the bathroom. At the end the day they cleaned up everything completely. The job was done within the time frame Andrew stated and the bathroom is everything I could have imagined and more! Our next project is a kitchen renovation and when the time comes, I will use NJ Kitchens and Baths for that as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

 by Deanna
Hire these guys!

NJ Kitchens and Bath (NJK&B) remodeled our Kitchen and 1 bathroom, re-stained wood floors throughout the home, and painted every room. The job included the structural redistribution of a load bearing wall. We are very pleased with the results. The craftsmanship is excellent. The work was done exactly the way we designed it. NJK&B was honest, upfront, and always available to discuss the project. Andrew (contractor) and Carlos (foreman) are a pleasure to work with. They kept us updated frequently and helped guide our decisions. When there was a delay in the work due to a manufacturer, they helped us with jobs that were not in the original scope of work. We plan to hire NJK&B for all future projects we may have. I would recommend NJK&B with full confidence that they will do an outstanding job!

Bath Remodel

From start to finish NJ Kitchens and Baths was a pleasure to work with. We met with John a number of times to decide what we wanted and he gave us some good ideas of what could be done with our small bathroom space. Once we had a design plan, we spoke to Andrew about the next couple steps including demo and then rebuilding. The people that do the construction work were very professional and always left the house in perfect condition. I felt very safe leaving a key for them to come in and do their work. We had a slight issue with a leaky shower head when the water went on after installation, but it was a manufacturer issue, not an issue with installation. Andrew contacted the manufacturer and a replacement part was sent immediately and the situation was resolved at no cost to us.



All the leg work is done for you with regard to permits, inspections, dumpster, etc. We worked with the suggested vendors that were very knowledgeable and helpful with their expertise. Our tile person even helped us design something that looked fancier without increasing the cost!

Great company to work with, well worth every cent!

A Great Partner

Andrew and the team at NJ Kitchens and Baths have been real partners when it’s come to our house. We found them through word of mouth from a very satisfied neighbor. They had worked on their kitchen, and we knew we had a lot of work we needed them to do. The ceiling in our kitchen had collapsed and it was because of our older bathroom. We turned to NJ Kitchens and Baths to completely remodel our full bath and repair our kitchen ceiling. They took our bathroom to the studs and gave us the bathroom of our dreams. They worked diligently to work with our vision and made it a reality. The bathroom is a masterpiece. They were so responsive throughout the whole process. We knew we were in good hands.



Subsequently, we had them remodel our half bath and replace the drop ceiling in the basement. The same level of attention and care came throughout the other work they did for us. Even when it came time to sell our home, Andrew and team did a couple of small jobs so that we could put the house on the market with confidence.



There’s no doubt in my mind that the work NJ Kitchens and Baths performed for us helped increase the value of our home. I am very appreciative of the relationship we had with NJ Kitchens and Baths and wholeheartedly recommend them.

On schedule and within budget

Andrew is a pro. He is easy to work with and knows how to get things done - on schedule and within budget. I worked with him on a renovation project. We took a laundry room that was tragically 70's and transformed it into something that would make Nate Berkus proud. I look forward to working with him again.

Best out there and extremely easy to work with

First and foremost, this review is EXTREMLY overdue! Andrew and his team are simply the best out there and extremely easy to work with. My husband and I purchased a foreclosure in which the cost of the renovations were included within the mortgage. NJ Kitchens and Baths were extremely flexible and did an amazing job communicating with our bank. In our three level 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 1/2 bath townhome, all of our hardwood floors, replacement of all doors in our 3 ,two bathroom vanities and mirrors, installation of recessed lighitng through out, as well as a complete gut renovation was completed in less than a month. Not only was NJ Kitchen and Bath efficient, they were clean! Andrew was constantly on call for any questions I might have had in reference to hardware, cabinets, or even appliances. There was no question to big or small or too silly! Throughout our entire process NJ Kitchens and Baths were a complete breath of fresh air and I could not have asked for a better contractor. They are simply the best out there!!

I'd recommend NJ Kitchen & Baths

We recently had Andrew & his team renovate our insanely dated kitchen and dining room into a space we now spend all of our time in. The job was done professionally, done on time, and best of all has transformed the way we enjoy our home into something great. Andrew personally kept up on the progress of things every step of the way, and as an added bonus, went above & beyond to get things corrected when we hit some minor, unforeseen bumps in the road. I'd recommend NJ Kitchen & Baths to anyone in need of a kitchen renovation.

Quality job without all the hassles

From start to finish working with NJ Kitchens and Baths was a surprisingly pleasant experience. They performed excellent work in a timely manner. They were neat, courteous and very accommodating to the homeowner. From the complex kitchen floor inlay, beautiful archways and architectural moldings they displayed their old world craftsmanship. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a quality job without all the hassles.

My kitchen and bathroom came out beautifully

When I first visited NJ Kitchens & Baths' website, njkitchensandbaths.com, my first impression was "wow, this is going to cost me a lot of money". Surprisingly, for the quality of work that these guys do, having worked with Nate Berkus and Genevieve Gorder, the price of my renovation was quite reasonable. Of course, I got a few quotes from other, less reputable contractors, and they were charging almost exactly the same amount. I figured I'd go with Andrew at NJ Kitchens & Baths, and I did not regret it. My kitchen and bathroom came out beautifully; they did a great job, quickly and cleanly. Highly recommended.

Great with the details and showed care of his work

Although it was difficult for our family to cope with the remodeling of our home, the people at NJ Kitchens and Baths made it easier for us during the construction period. They informed us of the progress every step of the way. Every question we had was answered promptly. The work was excellent and the master craftsman, James, even provided numerous useful tips on the design. He was great with the details and showed care of his work. Overall it was a pleasant experience for us. We would certainly recommend NJ Kitchens and Baths to anyone who is looking to remodel their homes.

Professional, communicative, service oriented, punctual

Upon closing on our home in August of this year, I can't tell you how many people felt compelled to share their "contractor ripped us off" horror stories. I would gander that the shoddy/expensive contractor scenario happens more often than not. James & Andrew at NJKP are operating in a league of their own where service and communication is just as important as the work. They are professional, communicative, service oriented, punctual, clean and we haven't even gotten to their great craftsmanship, attention to planning, detail and follow-up! We feel fortunate to have stumbled upon them. What more can one say without sounding like a commercial for them. Just ask them to show you our before and after pictures as they are truly worth a thousand words!

Easy from start to finish

I just wanted to thank you for the outstanding job you did with both of my bathrooms. Everything was easy from start to finish; you were always reachable by phone and were very helpful in all aspects of my remodeling. The quality of the products and savings you were able to give me as opposed to others that had higher prices and lesser quality was astonishing. Your crew was always on time, very friendly, clean and courteous. Feel free to use me as a reference anytime.

NJ Kitchens and Baths were the best contractors

Beautiful bathroom remodel on my fathers home! From start to finish NJ Kitchens and Baths were the best contractors I could have ever contacted. The project was a complete rip out and new construction. The crew were all "PRO's", and the work was done to perfection! They take pride in their work and stay focused on every detail. I could not have imagined anyone else doing a better job. I highly recommend NJ Kitchens and Baths and would contact them again for any other renovations. From the carpentry to tile it looks beautiful!

A level of comfort we didn't expect

My wife and I are very happy with the work NJ Kitchens and Baths performed in our home. Our kitchen looks lovely. They took care of everything, they were neat, clean, kept us informed every step of the way and most of all gave us a level of comfort we didn't expect.
