Custom in every detail - Hand carved Lion find his home in a remodeled kitchen in Wayne, NJ
The first trip into our showroom Pam fell in love with the front display and simply had to have it in her house. Her neighbors in Chatham cannot belive that we fit all of this kitchen into this space and it feels so spacious.
Our 50 year old kitchen needed to be gutted and we were looking for a contractor that did both the design work and construction. Once we met with Bob, we didn’t need to look further
Not only does this shower have jets in every direction, but it also has the option to turn into their very own steam shower.
This past winter I hired Bob to help create my dream kitchen! We were on a budget but had a lot of big ideas. Bob worked with us to give us everything that was important to us, while keeping the cost down.
