BUYER BEWARE!! Get EVERYTHING in writing -- this company will not protect you from costly mistakes…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience with RS Marble & Granite and would strongly warn anyone considering using them. I purchased an MSI quartz countertop after visiting the MSI showroom and selecting the exact sample I wanted. Their contract does state that some variation from samples is expected, and I understood that. However, the slab that was installed is dramatically darker with far heavier veining -- not a minor difference, but something that looks like a completely different color. I will be including photos so others can judge for themselves. I could have requested slab approval, but I didn't believe it was necessary based on their reputation, the product I selected, and the fact that it was never required or emphasized. RS Marble & Granite came to measure and later called to "confirm" details. During that call, their representative recommended installing my sink as an undermount and said an additional hole for a water filter could be cut on site. On installation day: * The countertop was not cut for an undermount sink * They refused to cut the additional hole they had said could be done on site * The leftover cutout pieces I requested were not brought at all They later reimbursed me $250 for these mistakes, but this was before I fully realized how severely the installed slab differed in color and veining from what I selected. After all this, I was told nothing further could be done because the changes were not in writing. This is the real issue: they are the professionals, yet there is no slab approval process, no system to document changes they themselves suggest, and no protection for the customer. My advice: Stay away from this company. If it's already too late and you are working with them, make absolutely sure every single detail you think you're getting is in writing -- or you may end up paying a lot of money for something you never truly agreed to.

What the authors of the Bible failed to document was that on that day, an overwhelming hunger manifested in him, one that could not be satisfied with only his writings BUT needed to also show The North Shore of Long Island what great construction and remodeling is. So, "The Great" Elite Kitchen and Bath was created to take care of everyone's home remodeling needs here on earth and we are all that much better and happy for it. Thru time "The Great" Elite Kitchen and Bath decided to create NY's Best and most aesthetically pleasing kitchen and bath's and the rest as they say is history. Elite Kitchen and Bath managed the bathroom remodel (soup to nuts) of my wife and mine and definitely did an extraordinary job (to say the least) and we couldn't be happier. The owners along with their unbelievably talented staff are "The Tops" as Mel Tormae would say. Elite is to kitchen and bath arts what Glen is to carpentry -"A TRUE VISIONARY!"- So in conclusion, don't walk BUT run to Elite because you don't want them, you NEED them for all your remodeling needs. xoxoxoxoxo Jen & Dan Bailey

A good selection of cabinetry and countertop materials for what we needed. One of the advantages of working with this company is they provide an all in price which includes design, fabrication, demolition, electric and plumbing work, drywall, installations of cabinets and all appliances as well as paint. They coordinate everything. Agreed on a schedule and they kept it. No issues with "extra" work coming up during construction either. They are very interested in customer satisfaction. There were some crossed signals on communication but we were flexible so no big deal. Recommend them for kitchen bath work large or small.

We couldn't be happier with how our kitchen came out. John at Showcase Kitchens was phenomenal in…read morehis attention to details when we expressed to him our needs and wants for the design of our kitchen. John designed our state-of-the-art modern kitchen that showcased a gorgeous and prominent metallic gold hood that took center stage. Under the hood sits a flush-mount induction cooktop that provides an easy-to-clean cooking surface that is seamless. On each side of the hood, we selected appliances, with the help of Anthony, that complemented the modern space symmetrically. Based on the square footage of the kitchen, we not only had 2 islands but also a separate pantry for storage that had its own sink, second dishwasher, and another rubbish/compost disposal system. The refrigerator and freezer columns are adjacent to the motorized overhead cabinet doors. These cabinets are a very convenient location for our stemware and glassware. Under both islands, we have additional storage cabinets and if that wasn't enough, we have storage that goes up to our ten feet ceilings. We also chose to have integrated lights under the overhead cabinets and dimmable lights with sensors integrated in the drawers. Sean and Ajirth at Showcase Kitchens were both meticulous with the renovation. Sean came after framing of the kitchen space was completed to take accurate and precise measurements. It was at this first on-site visit by Showcase Kitchens that he found that our existing ceiling did not come out far enough to align with the cabinets. John and Ajirth worked on revising the design, which worked out better than the preliminary design. We were very thankful that Sean caught this when he was on-site. He was assigned our project manager and was very responsive and always in contact with us as well as the manufacturer. His coordination seemed effortless even with the language barrier and time zone difference. He assured us that every component of the kitchen was boxed, loaded into a container from Italy and made their way on the ship to NJ, inspected by customs before being unloaded onto a truck for the warehouse and then ultimately to our home. He was very helpful with providing the manifest and plans to confirm that we received our entire order without any hiccups. Sean also came back after the kitchen installation bearing additional accessories and saw the areas that needed adjustments by their specialist for this brand of kitchen cabinetry. He coordinated the work and the specialist came to make the final adjustments. Ajirth came prior and after the kitchen installation to ensure that a Showcase Kitchens representative was available throughout the process. He provided vital information to our fabulous GC (also referred by John) crew and his insight on the product line was instrumental to the design and install. We can't say enough about the services that Showcase Kitchens provided. They are top-notch and work tirelessly for their clients. The manufacturers they work with make exceptionally high quality products that will last for decades. Thank you for making our dream kitchen. Note to the scope of work: We were not only renovating our kitchen but also other areas of the house and the designer we worked with recommended Showcase Kitchens. We are so grateful she did. And we couldn't have achieved the results of our entire renovation without the GC that John recommended. His resources and connections enabled us to safely remove low bearing walls and columns that separated the kitchen from the living room and shore up our basement with new structural headers and columns with footings. Everyone on the team played a crucial role to the unconventional renovation. Thank you Showcase Kitchens!

After a long day of browsing we happened upon the Alba showroom in Metuchen on Route 1 south. Much to our great surprise, we met Mike Schroeder who we had the pleasure of working with a few years ago when remodeling our kitchen. Mikes professionalism, positive attitude, and experience was instrumental in helping us make a purchase that same day! The promised timeframe was met and we picked up the cabinets shortly after - and are extremely happy with the product. Turns out our design has changed a bit and additional cabinets are needed , so we will be returning shortly to order those( FYI- the flooring , wall , and counter top finish selections are quite impressive as well) I encourage anyone who is in the market for a kitchen/bath remodel to visit Mike and his very friendly team for guidance , they are outstanding!Thanks for all your help Mike, you have loyal customers in us ( and all our friends /family as well) for future needs.
