“Dominique is a great professional to work with. We hired her to remodel and decorate our living room and dining room. She worked on the design of the rooms by selecting trim accents, lighting and paint color. She supervised the installation and all work needed. To redecorate she incorporated furniture we had in our home and added some new accent pieces. Wall paintings and decor was also added. Dominique has a wonderful artistic eye for layout and design. We are so happy with her work that we hired her on to work wonders in our library and family great room. Thank you Dominique, we love our new gorgeous designed rooms”

“Kieth is a professional whom I would hire for a top notch bathroom or kitchen renovation. We hired Kieth's company to do both small and large jobs and he always came in on time and within budget and stood behind his work. The quality of the jobs are always top notch. He has a sterling reputation in town for good reason. He does what he says. A rare gem!”

“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.”

“My wife and I hired Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling to build an addition onto the back of our house, which included a new kitchen, family room, patio, mudroom, and other modifications to the interior. From the start, I was very impressed with Keith’s preparedness and diligence. He created a very detailed and transparent budget (approximately 10 pages), which outlined each item to be done and the price. More importantly, his estimate was accurate, and the prices that we agreed to did not change throughout the project. Keith is also very hands-on. He was on-site every day during the project. He is extremely responsive by email and phone, and if I emailed him a question while I was at work, within a very short period of time, I would receive a response. He was also available on weekends to meet with me, which was more convenient for my schedule. The workmanship of Kling Brothers Builders is top notch. Their on-staff carpenters are excellent, and their subcontractors are all superb. I did not have any issues with shoddy work or questionable characters walking around my property or in my house. Keith is very diligent about the “structure” and integrity of the building, and takes pride in how well built and solid the “bones” of the project are. Although I am not a builder myself, you can just tell that something is well put together by looking at it. Keith stresses quality and perfection, and was not satisfied until we were satisfied. He has access to some of the best craftsmen in the area, and in particular he introduced us to a custom cabinet maker who created a showcase kitchen for us. His other subs, such as the electrician, the plumber, etc., were all personable and flexible. All in all, we were very impressed and happy with Keith Kling. Although my wife and I are reasonable, we also have very high standards. Given the size of our project (to us), we expected top service and attention. Keith came through with flying colors, and he was very friendly, personable, and professional throughout. I have no tolerance for service providers who do not do what they say or make you feel as though you are doing them a favor by giving them your money. Keith is certainly not one of those people. Our project came in on budget, and any additional work that I wanted done was communicated and agreed-to up front. There were no surprises and the communication between Keith and us could not have been better. I give Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling my highest recommendation. I hope to use them again on a future project.”

“As a real estate agent, I have to be very careful about who I recommend. I feel complete confidence when recommending Sound Shore Construction Group. They do great work, are totally professional, and go the extra distance for their clients.”

“I've had the pleasure of knowing Rob on a personal & professional level for over 20 years, as we've done many projects together in that time. I can honestly say that Rob is one of the best builders I know, in more ways than one. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to construction, & makes the extra effort to research & be up to date on the latest materials & best practice issues. He is very personable & has a great rapport with clients, while also having a great design sense. He is a team player & I know my clients are in good hands when he's on board. There is more to being a good builder than just knowing how to build...it requires many different skills, & Rob possesses them all. I highly recommend Rob Knorr as your builder of choice, as you will be more than happy with his efforts. Brad DeMotte, R.A. DeMotte Architects”

My clients have expressed their pleasure with the finished results in their home which came from close and easy collaboration with the Design Builders team.”
