Scott came out and took some photos and measurements and quickly provided us with an estimate. Gerald and his crew did the sanding and staining and moved all of the furniture off/on the deck with great care. It looks like a brand new deck. I would not hesitate to reach out to Monk's for our future needs.

The quote was around the middle of the ones I saw, and I got a good vibe from Michael, so I decided to go with them. I'm incredibly happy with the work they did - they matched the existing features (trim, door style etc) of the house perfectly. They had good ideas and brought up things to consider, and additional costs for any changes along the way were reasonable. The guys who worked at my house were incredibly friendly and polite. The work turned out amazing - better than I had even hoped. Can't recommend them enough and will definitely go back to them for any similar work in the future.

The whole process felt smooth and stress-free. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend!

I wanted to add a direct vent fireplace to my 99-year-old home in Cranford. Unfortunately, there…read morearen't many fireplace sellers or installers in New Jersey but after A LOT of searching I heard about Skylibur Home Improvements in Scotch Plains. Bottom line: FANTASTIC! Simon, the owner, came to the house, met with me to discuss general ideas of what I wanted, and soon sent me a proposal which I found to be fair. Having constructed about 50 fireplaces, he has superb design and construction skills and knew exactly what to do; he thinks 10 steps ahead, which helps to avoid problems later on. Throughout the construction process, he gave me options and the pros/cons of each to consider. Simon handled all of the permitting with the township and was on-site to meet every inspector and sub-contractor. In short, he, Victor and his team turned an ugly wall into what is now the focal point of my house. They were a pleasure to work with: completely reliable, on-time, honest, professional and super-clean. They set up a Zip-wall to keep the rest of the house dust-free and worked outdoors under a pop-up tent; in short, they were EXTREMELY clean and considerate throughout the entire process. As a homeowner, I'm fairly competent with basic home maintenance and repair - but a fireplace installation required specialized knowledge and Simon has it. I can't say enough good about Skylibur; if you're considering installing a fireplace - this is the company to choose.

They re-did my kitchen a few years ago and I was more than pleased. I contacted them again recently to remodel my two bathrooms. (My bathroom was so 70's I had a BABY BLUE toilet, blue tile on the floor, the shower and the walls.) Groan! I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with the results. Not only is the work beautiful, but you will not find a more caring, giving and in touch crew anywhere. The owner goes OUT OF HIS WAY to do everything to make sure you are pleased. His crew of painters and plumbers are superb and you won't believe how clean they are. The prices are more than fair and he is available to discuss options. In this day and age of shoddy and unfair work ethics, it's so great and a relief to find someone reliable who will not only do a great job, but is considerate, accommodating and courteous. I am so pleased with everything that has been done in my home and I highly recommend SKYLIBUR HOME IMPROVEMENTS for your next home project. You will NOT be sorry.

Not to sound braggadocios as I'm far from arrogant, but my lifelong career has honed by skills…read moreferreting out fraud, duplicities, and recognizing instances where often great deals are far from great. I looked up Best Maids Ever and was struck by the nature of the raves and Jack the owner's cogent responses. Rich in varied details of differing facets of their services, they reflected Jack's keen listening/reading sensitivities and laser responses. His precision is sniper accurate. I had been in crisis mode with my messy apartment for far too long and no time to clean it. I dreaded hiring anyone. After spending seven hours one recent Sunday cutting up cardboard boxes alone, I drew the line. I needed help. Hiring Best Maids was one of the best decisions of my life. Period. First, Jack the owner is true as water on a placid morning's pond. Whatever concern or variable or worry you throw his way in negotiations, they're reduced to brief ripples as he adjusts terms, massages in solutions and then returns to his essence like a mirrored pond returns to its placid clarity after a pebble shatters it briefly: he is as honest, centered and focused as an arrow. A jaw droppingly true fellow in a notorious hustler trade. Both our trades are. Not in thirty odd years have I had such a sterling experience negotiating. He even dispatched a third person on Day 1 - not to jack up the price but to ensure it got done in two days. So when I asked afterwards whether he needed to adjust the price out of fairness to him (being that we agreed on only two people), he demurred - he added the third person of a trio family to ensure the job got done. Not one red cent more. And now for Anthony, Vivian and their youthful daughter Emily. My heart ached for their present hard working profession but it soared as I spent time lending a hand where I could. Open hearted souls who put in buckets of sweat equity. I could deluge you with the many, many positive details of their work and results but for me the brief tears of Vivian just before leaving said it all. She - as did we all - realized something special happened here over these two grueling days: they changed this stranger's life for the better. Amongst the torrent of incredible observations: as the ending of each day approached, they all kicked it into a HIGHER GEAR - not to catch up but to drive home perfection. Pride in their work.They went beyond and voluntarily. Jack and I are honest - I wasn't comfortable with their doing more than we'd agreed to - except when Anthony figured out why I was routinely tumbling out of bed due to a cracked bed-frame. He found a quick way to remedy it and that gave me my first great night's sleep I have had in eons. Effervescent Emily, in her mid-Twenties, took a number of colored pottery pots and put various plants I had that were in plastic original containers into the new pots and even put a moon valley pilea in a terracotta pot shaped like a wood nymph's face that I had buried somewhere. Art in everyday life. Quite Gaga - she was a fan. Many examples revealed themselves after they left leaving artistic flourishes. And Vivian cleaned my bathroom with savage grace and persistent diligence! She was stunned. We all were ! Nonstop excellence. I'll never forget these two days of wonder in brutal February!

When asked about it, his suggestion was to just get an additional space heater. When something was installed improperly, he has just gone to the cold shoulder. Garbage can drawer won't close due to poor installation (as per the cabinet manufacturer) and he won't return a call or a text to fix it. The water in the newly installed shower needed work. He wouldn't return a call or text for that. We had to call the plumbers ourselves. This score is a result of the professional people he subs work out to. His work ends up looking amazing, but he's unwilling to stand by it.

Valle Construction brought our vision to life twice, once in our bathroom remodel and then again in our kitchen renovation & extension. Both makeovers required complex alterations to our 90 year old historic Craftsman colonial and Anthony was able to integrate all the changes into our home matching the overall look, feel and quality of old world construction. Anthony is always on-time, respectful, cost conscious, and knowledgeable. His project and time management skills are impeccable - when he promises to bring something in on-time, you can rest assured it will get done, without cutting corners or reducing quality. If you want the best, and you have the highest expectations, Anthony and his crew will never let you down. He is a patient, smart, caring businessman with outstanding vision, excellent communication skills and is quite capable of delivering on his commitments. The greatest compliment we can give A. Valle Construction is our unqualified recommendation.
