**Pictures to be updated next month Aug 2024 after our renovation fully wraps up**…read more For months, my sister and I were daunted by the thought of renovating our Cobble Hill, Brooklyn condo. One weekend, we visited various tile and fixture stores near our childhood hometown in NJ, scraping for motivation and inspiration. We walked into Alba Kitchen and Bath in East Hanover on a whim and were warmly greeted by Serenay. This one serendipitous meeting gave us the comfort and confidence to jumpstart our entire project! We are so grateful to Serenay and the whole team at Alba for our beautiful new kitchen!  Here are 3 reasons why working with Alba has been a wonderful experience and why I wholeheartedly recommend them.  1. Seasoned Kitchen Design Experts:  Serenay accounted for every inch of available space in our kitchen and produced multiple renderings (see pictures 3 and 4) showcasing different design configurations. For example, we have an awkward wooden beam which previously left a gap between the upper cabinets. She commissioned custom shallow cabinets, and turned both the top and bottom into usable cabinet space!! She also advised us on how we could maximize space inside our cabinets, such as getting rid of the lazy susan we originally had in our old corner cabinet. The renderings were super helpful in visualizing what the kitchen would look like. Our appliances also fit perfectly back in during reinstallation.  Serenay was also able to take the "inspiration" picture I sent her (see picture 5 - this is from Brittany Marom's 61 Rivington project) and turned it into reality. We chose thin shaker (Luna collection) Fabuwood upper cabinets in White Dove, lower cabinets in Kona, and Maharaja quartzite stone backsplash and counters. Maharaja quartzite is actually the stone we saw in the showroom kitchen countertop. We fell in love with the horizontal striations and after quite a bit of sleuthing, Serenay helped us track down its origin.   2. Clear Communication: Serenay was very direct and clear about what was included in scope (e.g., we would need to hire someone else to remove and reinstall appliances given their COI scope in NYC). She always answered our questions instead of dodging them using vague terms (we noticed a lot of contractors we spoke to, instead of getting into details, would just say things like "It will be great. It will look really nice" whereas Serenay would actually tell us *why* it would look great, *why* we might want to go with Fabuwood instead of other cabinet manufacturers, etc). Scheduling the measurements; cabinet delivery; cabinet installation; countertop installation; and followups were also a breeze. At our request, she also connected us with the stone yard so we could inspect a sample slab, and to meet the stone fabricator so we could preview where they were planning to make the cuts.   3. Fair and All-Inclusive Pricing: I googled Alba beforehand and was reassured by several blog posts/reviews that they get the best pricing on Fabuwood cabinets in NJ. From the start, Alba's quote also included the cost of materials and installation for both the cabinets and countertops, and it was very fair, especially for NYC. We were considering just refinishing our 2002-era cabinets to save money. Working with Alba allowed us to get brand new cabinets with all the bells and whistles, like soft-close and pull-out utensil cabinets.  Throughout this process, my sister and I felt so lucky that Alba is willing to do projects in NYC and not only NJ.  Since we are still mid-project with other renovations, I don't have the best pictures yet of the finished product. I will update this review with closeup pictures once we clear all the construction materials away. But in the meantime, do not hesitate to choose Alba and especially the wonderful Serenay. THANK YOU Alba Kitchen and Bath!!

initially Ken was good with getting things to job, ordering, but his installers lack the experience…read morefor high end work, and this was not an really hard kitchen. First, they came in an SUV with tools in back, lol. Then they left a mess for me to clean up. Then between then and Ken they did not know how to put up crown facial board correctly, and parts were put up crooked, Lol. Then they did not put up light rail right under cabinet. I asked ken not to send that guy back, but he did anyway because he did not want to pay someone else to do the right way. Cabinet knobs were put on wrong, and each time the clean-up was non-existent. Then the next nightmare; the base cabinets were not installed square as the installers never checked. Your supposed to shim them and check. So when the counter tops that I bought from then were installed the over hang on counter was not strait. Ken said no one will notice that, lol. Also the dishwasher opening was done to big and needed a filler. I had high hopes when I met Ken and ordered but in the end he just didn't care, and his men are not craftsman working out of the back of their car, no proper van/truck with tools set up like a real craftsman would have. They even came at night cutting on the deck with no table for their saw. I had to pay another longtime friend to finish the job correctly as best as we could after multiple screw-ups/mistakes He would not pay for these mistakes or offer the right refund either. My advice to anyone is to buy cabinets the quality you want then hire your own installer who has a track record of experience. Not these 2nd hand guys who don't give a crap what they are doing. I will be filing a civil suit soon in Morris county special civil division.

We wanted to purchase Miele dishwasher so we stopped by designer appliances. We were greeted by Cinthya and she took her time to explain pros and cons of each option which we were confused about. The service was immaculate as opposed to some other places we have been to and they mostly had all the models on the floor which we were looking for. Definitely recommend them for any appliance needs! I wouldn't recommend their installation service or delivery bec they first delivered a defected dishwasher and then second time they had a perfect dishwasher but only one person installing and carrying it so we had to help him take the dishwasher upstairs

He taught me everything I needed to know about brushed-nickel finishes lol and fixed me up with exactly the right pipe. Yeah it was expensive. But it's a pleasure to find tradespeople who know exactly what is the right thing, who take the time to explain why it's the right thing, and toss an amateur like me a discount (even if it's small). So I'm a fan. But parking here is a total nightmare, they have about 2 spots (not kidding!) and the street right in front is marked No Parking. When I get up more courage & cash I'll be shopping in their showroom :) First to review is a little crazy bcos this is a long-established place, I can't be the only Yelper to need plumbing supplies, can I?

My relative entered into negotiations with Artistic Kitchens and Baths. Mr. John Pica personally…read morecame out and provided an initial quote of $7,000 for the work. In good faith, my relative issued him a check for that full amount upfront. At first, they were not looking for a refund. They simply expected Mr. Pica to return and complete the work as agreed. However, after receiving payment, he never came back. Despite waiting a significant amount of time and making multiple calls, no work was started. When finally pressed for answers, Mr. Pica claimed he had purchased materials, but instead of taking responsibility, he behaved as though the delay and lack of work were somehow the customer's problem. When asked for a resolution, he stated he would only return $5,000, keeping $2,000 for his "time," and refused to do anything further. Since then, there has been no response, no phone call, no correspondence, and no refund of any sort. Mr. Pica took the money and disappeared. Shame on him for taking advantage of elderly customers who entered into this agreement in good faith. It is despicable and deplorable that a supposed legitimate businessman would conduct himself in this manner. I strongly advise the public to avoid doing business with Artistic Kitchens and Baths or John Pica. This has been a horrible, dishonest, and predatory experience.
