We recently had Carl build two large wall units for the living room and kitchen in our new home…read more Working with Carl was hands down the easiest and most rewarding experience we have had in fifty years of having individuals make improvements in our homes. Carl was reliable and easy to work with. For a minimal fee he came to our home to assess the work and then returned with extensive drawings of the cabinets that he carefully explained. When we were uncertain over a decision he gave great advice on what would look best. We needed an unusual feature in one cabinet for our TV which Carl carefully worked out. The installation was smooth and clean. The finished products are amazing and of a high quality not seen in the best store-bought cabinetry. Carl has an unusually strong passion for his work, which was reflected in the way he proudly pointed out some of the salient features he incorporated into our cabinets that again would not be found in a high quality store-bought one. Carl's professionalism, workmanship and passion for his craft are all outstanding and I recommend him most highly.

About three years ago, I had a partial bathroom redone through Modern Elegance. I was sold a…read morecustom-made sink cabinet and mirror. They also installed a new sink, faucets, and plumbing for two showers and the sink. The plumber they used (and he only worked for them) had a terrible attitude especially when asked a question. Now we have found a major leak under that sink. Water spouted from the new hot water pipe and flooded the cabinet and floor. Even turned off, the shut-off valve he put in didn't stop the water. We had to shut off the main line and call someone to put in new piping. He showed us how worn the three year old plumbing was. Also the bathroom has a powerful exhaust fan yet the paint job (that was manufactured in the cabinet and mirror) was chipping off. I honestly would not recommend this place for any type of renovations. It's costing us more money to remedy the plumbing problem and to replace the sink and sink cabinet. (Which, by the way was all poorly caulked and black mold was caked on the tile wall when our plumber removed the sink and cabinet. It must have been going on for the past three years.)

Modern Elegance is the real deal! Feb. 2021, my husband and I sat down with Ed, the owner and…read moreoperator of Modern Elegance 117 Taylor Ave, (Rt. 71) Manasquan, NJ. Ed thoroughly educated us in the cabinets he offers. He explained how they are all made and where they are made...in the good ole USA. We choose Candlelight Cabinetry, made in upstate NY. Ed introduced us to his right hands, Anthony and Candice. Ed and Anthony came to our home and measured the project. A week or two later we had our proposal and began with our selection. Modern Elegance is a one stop shopping. We were able to purchase our cabinets, hardware, countertops, backsplash, lighting, faucet and appliances* through Ed/Modern Elegance. This showroom has it all. Most importantly, they are Honest, Trustworthy, Listens to their Customers, Punctual, Neat, Cleans up after the job and when they give you a date, that is in fact the date and time. We cannot be happier with this job and the service by Ed, Anthony, and Candice; the countertop company and Top Line Appliances*, and of course all the electrical and plumbing people. If anyone reading this is looking for this kind of new or renovation for their home, check out MODERN ELEGANCE, you won't be disappointed.

Let me clarify, from our experience and listening to anyone who has hired a contractor, all…read morecontractors pretty much the same. Hilliard no different. We were impressed at first, being we purchased one of the first premier new homes by Hilliard in the Highlands on Bay Ave. However, if you are a buyer of any new Hilliard construction home, beware. No customer service. We have had a work list for over a year of concerns and promised would be address, we have been ignored. The owner "I am always around town" is never to be seen now, just his workers whom are very good and nice guys. Hilliard will promise you the moon and show concern, once monies pass hands seems done deal. Hilliard has had many land use issues in Highlands NJ. Before the bottom fell out, we referred Hilliard to friends for a new home purchase which the friends did purchase. They had to back out of deal because of non compliance of land use requirement, months later. They were virtual homeless for months. Hilliard showed no urgency to resolve which made us look foolish. Now we have to deal with our issues on our own as well as having an AC unit parallel to our patio deck. Very disappointed and quite bothered. We paid a "high price" for the house with no mortgage. Lesson: hold onto your escrow account till all is done to your satisfaction before releasing.

We should have gone with Home Depot, but wanted to support local small business and used…read moreLisa/Kitchen Krafter for gut renovation of a small condo kitchen, which turned out to be a BIG Mistake. Could have purchased the same cabinets and countertop at a Big Box store, but might have ended up with a 21 inch sink as requested, and not a 21 inch sink base, which resulted in an 18 inch sink - the difference was never explained. But the big problem was the contractor Lisa highly recommended as a "craftsman" - George Evans. He continuously made misrepresentations about timing (gross delays, even by contractor's standards). A number of important elements needed to be redone (e.g., wrong type/color of paint, counter top design and grout), because he did not follow specific written and verbal instructions, and could not focus on time management, details, and task completion. He persistently gave excuses and blamed others (subcontractors) for delays and errors; after a point, he lost credibility. We ended up accepting his mistakes as design compromises, just to get the job done and get George out of the house. Bottom Line: I CANNOT recommend Kitchen Krafter.

Last winter a pipe burst in our 2nd floor bathroom and the resulting flood ruined our kitchen on…read morethe floor below. After contacting our insurance company we began a search for new kitchen cabinets. We visited the large box stores (Lowes and Home Depot) but were unhappy with both the pricing (even after "discounts") and the level of expertise of the employees assigned to the kitchen department. A friend told us of Kitchen Krafter and my wife and I decided to try them. We were helped by Lisa and Carla, two of the most knowledgeable kitchen cabinet people I have ever met! After innumerable phone calls and questions, we purchased our kitchen cabinets and crown molding from them, at a less expensive price then the box stores (same products!). When the cabinets arrived my wife didn't like the grain on one of the cabinet doors (subjective opinion), so Lisa had it quickly exchanged without any problem. Such personnal service and product expertise could not be matched by any other cabinet supplier that we met with. Go with these gals - they are great!
