Romeo and his team recently remodeled our bathroom, and the results exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Romeo is a pleasure to work with--professional, approachable, and knowledgeable. He came recommended by my parents, after completing their bathroom remodel, and we're so glad we chose him. During the consultation, Romeo suggested smart updates to our 40-year-old bathroom. One of the best ideas was relocating the radiator into the wall, which freed up a significant amount of space. His entire crew are experts in their craft, ready to provide advice when asked. They worked diligently each day--even through the summer heat wave. They often stayed late to keep the project on schedule. Romeo was very knowledgeable about our town's construction standards and was present throughout the inspection process to made sure everything went smoothly. Once the project was complete, he personally spent an entire day polishing and perfecting the bathroom so it was ready for us. It's clear Romeo and his team take great pride in his work, and it shows in every detail. He mentioned that he also handles projects beyond bathrooms, and based on our experience, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to others. read more

My partner and I have used Romeo and his team for several projects. He always goes above and beyond. He gives us his honest opinion on every single project even if it doesn't benefit his business. Romeo and his team were always punctual and completed each project within the agreed timeline. They were also very respectful of our workspace (since my partner and I sometimes work from home). Above all, Romeo and his team did a beautiful job. They've remodeled my bathroom, refinished floors, built a custom shelf from scratch, knocked down walls to open up my living room, and covered up windows to mount 86" tv and media unit! We are grateful to have found a reliable and trusted contractor in the area. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Romeo! read more

Romeo and his team did a great job with our house. We asked him to paint the entire house white, add some accent walls to our offices, move doorbell chime, and install some lights. Although his quote was a little higher than other contractors we chatted with, we decided to go with him because he was very responsive, attentive to detail, and earned our trust. You get what you pay for and we had a peace of mind knowing Romeo will do a great job. He even helped us do some small last minute requests without additional charges, like painting the inside of our door and re-painting the outside because there were scruffs. He and his team were able to complete this job in a little over 2 weeks, keeping in mind our timeline of moving in. We're hoping to work with him again for our kitchen renovation. read more

Romeo & crew completed two complex projects at our 110 year old house: replacing a 7 feet garage door with an 8 feet door and gutting and renovating a third floor bathroom. Several contractors walked away from it - Romeo submitted a reasonable bid and ensured that both projects were done through all the hurdles which one can expect with an old house. The results are just great. He is absolutely trustworthy, his crew is professional and if there are issues or misunderstandings, he makes sure that everything is done per the owner's request. Certainly will use his services again read more

Romeo & his crew are the best they did a wonderful job!! They do it all. Very reliable and professional We will be using them for other home projects thank you!! read more

Romeo is so awesome! I have no hesitations to reach back out to him for any future home improvement projects. He worked on a bathroom remodel for me and was able to complete it within 3 weeks! He and his team were prompt, courteous and reliable. They always cleaned up after themselves after they finished and left the house as it was handed to them. He is in the Bergen area and he even offered to come back to do additional items for us that weren't necessarily part of his scope of work/our contract! Our bathroom came out better than we expected! He provided a lot of pictures for reference and advised on our finishing materials. I would recommend working out your timeline with Romeo to ensure you have all the materials to not delay your home improvement project(s)! There were no hidden charges/fees - he was straightforward, funny and a true pleasure to work with. Thank you Romeo and team for the beautiful bathroom! read more

Romeo and his crew were fantastic in renovating 3 of my bathrooms in a short period of time. Romeo's knowledge and expertise was greatly appreciated and his flexibility and adaptability to our needs gave us comfort that we would get exactly what we were looking for. He trains his team well and has a great group that works hard, especially Jorge! We are very happy with the results, love our new bathrooms and look forward to working with him and his team again. read more

I feel like we're lucky to know Romeo -- the "R" in R. Duarte Home Improvement. He's done a few different jobs for us: a total renovation of our basement, a bathroom remodel, and emergency repair work (because our house is ancient). The company is very fair in its pricing. And there aren't tons of "surprises" halfway through a job. Also, R. Duarte's team shows up! ON TIME! Every day of the job -- not just the first day. If you've ever spent half a day and made half a dozen calls to an MIA contractor, you'll appreciate R. Duarte's work ethic and communication about how a job is progressing. They're also very neat as they work. Our basement remodel was pretty involved. From my weak drawings and many Pinterest photos, Romeo created a wonderful, comfortable space for a family room, office area, a craft space, laundry area with sink, a big coat closet and -- the best part -- a beautiful full bath with walk-in shower. All the walls are perfect. The paint job is awesome. I can't say enough. I'll try to get before and after pictures up -- or at least the after pictures. But until then, if you're in need of a contractor, you truly need to give R. Duarte Home Improvement a call. read more

We hired Romeo and his crew to do an extensive renovation of our house. The work included a total teardown and rebuild of a very old, poorly designed kitchen that was split over two rooms. Romeo's team worked with us to suggest a new, much improved design that involved structural supports, moving windows, moving plumbing, gas and electrical, and a total redesign of the layout. All this work was completed for a very reasonable price and great workmanship. We were especially pleased with the attention to detail in matching the original Victorian era trims and features of the house. Romeo was always willing to work with us to add extra projects to the list (including renovating the laundry, mudroom, front porch) and went to extra lengths to ensure great results, such as finding and fixing leaks in the roof. I highly recommend his crew and will definitely want to work with them again for future projects we have. read more

Romeo and team are awesome. Do not hesitate to give them a call. We bought a 119 year old home in Weehawken NJ that was well maintained but we wanted to update it. This included gutting the kitchen down to studs, leveling the floor, which was unleveled by about 3 inches, adding a first floor bathroom(home did not have bathroom on first floor), moving windows that did not make sense with new layout of kitchen, gutting 2nd Fl bathroom and moving wall over 40 inch to increase size to accommodate a shower, close doorways that made no sense, add closet space which did not exist, gut 3rd bedroom on 2nd Fl to add insulation and new sheet rock, added new windows to 1st Fl living room(you could see right out the bottom of the old windows) and 1 in the 2nd Fl bathroom, added cross beams in attic to sirup the A-frame roof, lay new hardwood flooring in attic, sand and refinish all floors and update all electrical(including a fire hazard of an electrical panel box), gutted the laundry room and full bathroom in basement. They did all of this and the home came out amazing. Romeo is attentive to your thoughts and designs. He will create the image you have in your mind. My architect had the basics down on the plans but the details are what make the job outstanding. Romeo added built in shelving to the 2nd Fl bathroom and living room which added so much detail to an already great design. I am sure I'm leaving out some details but you get the gist. Romeo is always available and will help you with all the options(there are a ton of options). He is trustworthy and a great guy to deal with during such a stressful time( we needed to move into this house as our lease was up). read more

Romeo and his team went above and beyond on my bedroom. Even though they finished my room really quick no work of theirs looks rushed. I'm so happy I went with Romeo and his team and I will be having him do much more work to my home! read more

Initially we just wanted our basement finished, which we were so happy with, we had a new deck built, retaining walls, and privacy fencing added. Romeo and his crew are extremely professional, tidy, communicative, and hard working. They can handle any job, big or small and are super easy to work with. read more

I called this company for various jobs including a kitchen redo, bathroom, flooring, etc. He did return my call immediately but when it came to showing up at a scheduled appointment, he was a no show. I texted him and he said he'll come by around noon. Another no show. If he was too busy, just say so and I would just move on. Very unprofessional. read more

This review is not based on R. Duarte's work as we were unable to do business with him. My husband and I closed on our new home recently and scheduled an appointment for him to come in and give us a quote on our kitchen project. We showed up to our property (we have yet to move since we're getting work done before officially occupying the home) only to be left waiting for Romeo. We attempted to call various times to find out if maybe he was stuck in traffic and was running late. We left VM messages and never received a call back. This is extremely unprofessional and speaks volumes of the way he does business. read more

Romeo and his team has done several different projects in my home and every finished product is exactly up to standard. I honestly could not be happier and feel blessed to finally have found a contractor who can do all these different projects in a timely fashion. Seriously call these guys ! And they are reasonably priced and honest ! Thanks again guys and you know we will be calling. read more

Romeo was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He was responsive, friendly, respectful of our home, knowledgeable, and genuinely listened to our concerns and questions before and during the project. He was prompt in his responses and was always on time. We had a fairly large project, removing a large load-bearing wall, and he consulted the right people and kept us informed along the way. You can tell he really knows his stuff. It's rare to find a contractor who truly cares about the quality of the work, but Romeo took his time to make sure everything was perfect. He kept our place clean by hanging and taping plastic between the rooms and covering our hardwood floors. He also got the job done right on time and at a fair and affordable price. We genuinely recommend Romeo for any construction job and we will certainly be using him again on our next project! Highly recommend. read more

Romeo and his team are wonderful. We just purchased a new townhouse in NJ that needed a painting job done. Romeo was really responsive in all communications so all the coordination process was very smooth. His team was timely (I asked them to come at 7am and they arrived promptly at 6:55), and painted our townhouse beautifully. Some areas are open floor plan which can be difficult to paint, but Romeo and his crew had no issue getting the job done. Pricing was reasonable as well. I contacted 4 contractors and I would say Romeo's team was right at the middle in terms of pricing, but given the quality of work I think he and his team are very fairly priced. He also helped me fix a minor toilet issue. I'm definitely going back to his team in the future! read more

Romeo and his team do a great job. Hired them to paint the exterior of our house, repair the gutters, repair the soffits, replace an interior wall, do some carpentry work and power wash the roof and patio. Everything came out great. Some of our neighbors have also used Romeo's company and were happy with the work. read more

Romeo and his crew are fantastic! He works quickly, extremely neatly, comes when he says he's going to, and goes above and beyond to be sure things are right. His pricing is extremely fair, and on top of it all, he's a very nice guy. His carpentry work was absolutely perfect. 100% highly recommended! read more
