Foundations Construction Professionals in Irvington, NJ

“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.”

“We recently remodeled a studio we purchased for guests who visit us. The project included the demolition of a kitchenettem and a bathroom, and the installation of new cabinets, wood flooring, granite countertops, appliances, wood molding and a custom Murphy bed in the sleeping area. My husband and I wanted a contractor who specializes in high end kitchens. We hired Paul Lopa (who had previously done two projects for us---a kitchen remodel and a bathroom remodel) as we were extremely impressed with his work, from beginning to end. For the studio project, Paul brought many samples to our home before the project commenced. It was very easy for us to select the materials, from the wood used for the cabinets and Murphy bed to the granite countertop and wood floor. We were also very pleased with the appliances he helped us select as well, as the kitchen was transformed into a full-fledged kitchen with an eat-at counter. Paul helped us select custom marble for the bathroom which is gorgeous! Every suggestion he made was great. The studio is now worthy of being photographed by Architectural Digest! Paul and his crew are very professional. His staff is friendly and were always on time. Upon completion of the job, the whole area was clean and ready to use. Paul was always accessible and available to answer questions whenever we had one. We were impressed that the project finished on time and on budget! We will definitely use Paul for all future work. He is a consummate professional and very nice to work with.”

“This was our second time working with the amazing team of contractors, project managers and designers at Prominent. They had previously done a spectacular job refinishing our basement (beams, bedroom, bathroom, storage, Martha Stewart mudroom, you name it). We were expecting twins and the need to expand our house was imminent. Our house is a hundred year old arts & crafts house so maintaining the integrity was essential. And being on schedule! We renovated our kitchen into a kitchen/great room area which therefore doubled our master bedroom and master bath located above. In addition, we created a bar room space where our former EIK was located and renovated our powder room. Lastly, we finished our third floor to be a guest suite with the most incredible bathroom ever. In addition, we added a new deck with under decking materials and had to rebuild stone walls-- I had no idea just how gorgeous this could be. A deck is not just a deck. The end result is nothing short of spectacular, extremely tasteful and maintained Arts & Crafts integrity although my husband and I were adamant that although we liked the linear style and functionality of A&C, we did not like the "darkness." Prominent stayed within our budget unless my husband and I personally strayed afar. They advised us when aesthetically we could all make a better choice. They were available 24/7, literally and if we had even the smallest emergencies, someone from Prominent was in our home immediately. I also love that Promiment Design factors into every project. Having Traci to literally help us with the tile work, cabinetry, paint colors, furniture layouts, the babies' nursery was such a wonderful finishing touch. Our home would not be the same otherwise. I am really not being overly sensationalistic here. We have truly had an amazing experience working with Prominent and having to live out the end of my pregnancy in my basement, and the first two months with twins, 2 big dogs, baby nurse and so forth down there, they did everything possible to expedite and keep us very comfortable.”

“We hired Jon at Ecostruct (thanks to the Sweeten!) as the contractor for our first-floor townhouse renovation. The project included gut renovation of kitchen and bathroom, new wood floor, updated plumbing, and new boiler. Jon was easy to work with and all of the people he hired to work on the house were professional. Jon offered guidance and assistance throughout the renovation process, as first time homeowners, that was invaluable.”

“I have worked with Jeff McMahon on many design/build projects. He is attuned to working with the topography and the sun when siting his houses. He consults closely with his clients when planning their modernist houses, and finds sustainable solutions for them. He listens to their needs and does as much as possible on paper and computer before breaking ground. When construction starts, Jeff and his crew are focused and efficient. The result is a track record of many striking and beautiful homes, as well as extremely happy homeowners. I can’t recommend Jeffrey McMahon Design + Build highly enough.”

“It is refreshing to work with a crew that delivered what they said they would on time and on budget. Ridge Restoration are experienced professionals that deliver high quality work with excellent customer service. Going through a renovation is tough, but they make it as painless as possible. Their attention to detail and perfectionist mindset shows in the delivery. Because of their experience and talent, they were able to help find creative solutions to problems that invariably arise on a full gut renovation. They followed through on dates and were able to navigate the permits and inspections well. The thing that most impressed me was that they finished strong. In the last 2 weeks they worked hard to make sure when we moved in that we would be happy with the house. They did not let punch lists drag out and got us in our home before our deadline. If you have never gone through a renovation in Hoboken, NJ make sure you take a meeting with Ridge Restoration.”

“We have had Wyanoke Builders do two major renovations for us: a kitchen and a totally restructured bathroom, adding a walk in shower. We love the rooms, but more importantly, we loved the efficient, clean, polite and cost controlled way that they were performed. Each carefully managed step of the process was guided by these talented men. We could not have been happier with the process or the results.”

“We asked Assaf from Leib Designs to assist in remodelling our small office in NYC. With a fairly in-depth brief, Assaf did an excellent job interpreting requirements, providing a very innovative design that made great use of the space. Lieb Designs then executed the project expertly, project managing the build-out within budget and on time. I would not hesitate to work with Leib Designs again.”

“Zach and his team at Hatchet Design Build are amazing to work with! We first worked together on a gut renovation of my entry way, kitchen and living room. I was so pleased with the process and end result that I called Zach when I was ready to complete the renovation of my bedroom and bathroom. Zach and his team are wonderful to work with. Zach is conscientious, a creative problem solver and solutions oriented. We were able to stick to budget and schedule on all projects. I recommend Hatchet Design Build without reservations.”
