I called Tom Paganus, owner of the Groutsmith for an estimate on grout cleaning of two baths and a…read moretiled entry foyer. We quickly arranged an appointment several days later. As with so many home projects, the work was not quite as simple as I envisioned, but Tom brought the work into focus quickly explaining what needed to be done and what his strengths were. He supplied an immediate estimate of the three jobs and left us to decide without any pressure. The price was reasonable for professional work so we accepted. He arrived on time and proceeded with the bath project. This became somewhat complicated as there were several tiles that were loose and had to be replaced, but Tom is a knowledgeable professional and was undeterred by the job. In the end, we had two baths and a foyer looking noticeably brighter and cleaner. There were no estimate "surprises" and no debris left behind. Tom is a very professional and personable contractor. We highly recommend.

He is a stand up guy (even though half the time he's literally on his hands and knees with a toothbrush) and will make sure you're 100% satisfied with his work. A true professional who takes pride in his work. Call the Groutsmith if you want your floors to look like new. He's prompt, courteous and very neat. Above all else he'll do what he says he'll do and will go above and beyond to make sure your place shines! I have no idea why anyone would give him anything less than 5 stars. I'd give him more stars if I had the option here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

As you know this can be a daunting task. But I found Monk's~! Rich Ressa, Monk's estimator arrived to assess the job and prepare the contract. He was pleasant and accommodating, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. He explained the process so I would know what to expect. On the start date he introduced me to Cristian and his crew. Their work ethic was so professional, no muss - no fuss~! When the job was completed (on-time) Rich returned to make sure I was pleased with the results. If you need a contractor- look no further than Monks!

Joe Corticada - our day to day lead - kept us up to date on progress and found creative ways to complete the project ahead of schedule (under 3 months).

As someone who has gone through other remodels and acted as a pseudo GM, I can tell you I will never go back.

I was helping an old friend to renovate her 1960's home. I was not living in her area and did not…read moreknow any contractors in her area. I connected with IC Home Design and the owner Horia. The first job was to take down and rebuild a very old worn out deck. The job completed on time and at the price quote. The craftsmenship was impressive. I then added the ronovation of a shed used for gardening supplies. Again the workmanship and finished product was outstanding. By this point I was completely confident in the quality of work done by IC Home Design. Next was taking up an old kitchen floor with several of flooring including old 4 x4 tile. IC Home Design quickly removed flooring and prepared the surface for new wall to wall tile which he also installed. I wanted the new kitchen cabinets to sit on the new tile. Ultimately he installed the new cabinets and finished off the kitchen install including new appliances, replacing a window with rotted wood and adding some additional electrical outlets. Next up IC Homes completely updated a secondary bathroom and then total renovated the master bathroom. Later IC Home found a floor refinisher to sand down the original hardwood floors and stain the floors which looked like new when he finished. All this activity took place while my eldery friend was still living in the home. Horia was very considerate of her living in the midst of all this mayhem and did little things to help her manage her way thorugh it all. I can't speak highly enough of the the quality of work done by Horia and his company I C Home Design. He is a true craftsemen who is a finished carpenter and knows how home construction should be done. His background includes new home construction and several cerifications that are important to home renovations. He is always a gentleman and a thoughful person. i you are looking for the extra low prices IC Home Design probably is not your contractor but if you want work that you can be proud of Horia and IC Home Design is a wonderful contractor to chose for your projects.

We actually called the headquarter of KITH cabinet/https://kithkitchens.com/ to find out their official kitchen store in Union county and they said 'My house kitchen'! I also compared the costs against several other kitchen stores and he had the best prices. His partner Alex, owner of Dano Development, led the remodeling project of our kitchen, bath and home.
