Interior Design near Jersey City

“These are the elements that we felt were the most important about our work with the Contextus Architecture and Design team:

Exceeding Expectations
I cannot say enough good things about Contextus Architecture and Design and their incredible team! The results speak for themselves, especially in the old vs. new kitchen. We hired them for a complete renovation of a historic Victorian 3-story townhouse, and they exceeded our expectations in every way.

Maximizing Space
Contextus maximized every inch of our home, ensuring that each nook and cranny served a purpose. They skillfully preserved the historic external structures, allowing us to avoid a historical review and audit, which was incredibly important. One of the most impressive changes was moving the kitchen from the back of the house to the center, creating a seamless flow from the living room to the kitchen, dining room, and out to the patio. This transformation has made entertaining a joy.

Personalized Design
From the start, Contextus listened carefully to our concerns and asked in-depth questions about our daily activities to design a space that truly fits our lifestyle. They also incorporated personal elements into the design, drawing inspiration from our beloved travels, art, and even our fur baby dog. They created mood boards and color layouts with various options to capture the atmosphere we envisioned.

Attention to Detail
Their attention to detail was remarkable, helping us select every fixture, door handle, and hinge to ensure a clean and modern look that remains timeless. The team at Contextus was not satisfied until we were completely happy, and even then, their commitment to perfection went far above and beyond the requirements.

Focus and Avoiding Unnecessary Changes
Contextus kept the renovation as simple as possible and ensured we avoided unnecessary demolition or build-outs. This approach kept our project focused and helped manage any potential cost overruns with our contractor.

Gratitude and Fair Pricing
We are deeply grateful for their dedication and the extremely fair pricing they offered. We definitely think that we got the better end of the deal (THANK YOU!!)

Thank you, Contextus, for turning our house into a true home!“

“I've done business with Innovative Carpentry and more specifically the owner Jim many times in my life. The first three words that come to mind when I think of Jim are genuine, compassionate, and gifted. His scope of knowledge ranges from basic construction to intricate and custom woodworking to fit any space to electrical engineering and even plumbing. He has an incredible spatial awareness and knows how to use all of the space afforded to his customers - those living in the MetroNYC area know what I mean. I say this to give the context that he doesn't come in to just do a job and leave. His work and his ethics assure that once the job is complete, it has been cross-referenced and functions within the entire ecosystem of the modern home or whatever place that you're considering renovating. Innovative is a small business and has all the charms of a small business (easy to contact the owner, he always finds time to squeeze you in, remembers your family and friends that he meets while in your company), yet the output (size, quality and scope of the job) feels like it rolled out of a Manhattan showroom. In the past, he and his team have done custom cabinetry for my family and I, as well as several bathrooms, and even a kitchen. Friends have used him to build their summer homes and each of them were beyond satisfied and still occupy these happy homes without issues years later. The finished products are truly unbelievable and he always adds a touch that you would never think of; Jim helps you dream in a sense. The work is and has always been seamless. Jim and his staff take their time to sit with you personally to assess your needs, and in times of crises, he systematically "turns over every stone" to get to the root of a problem. Working with Innovative doesn't feel like your'e going to a place to get "sold" on something. Recently, when my family and I experienced serious flood damage in our new place, Jim took time out of his busy schedule to come over several times to take a deeper look at the potential causes and he compared and contrasted how different fixes would lead to the best possible solution for my family and I. Also, I think that it is very important to mention that the people who work under Jim's direction are long-time members of the staff, some having worked with him for over twenty years! They're friendly, trustworthy, kind and are completely reverent when working in the home space. I feel that this says a lot about the type of culture cultivated within Innovative Carpentry. I HIGHLY recommend them!Services: Table construction & installation“

“Great job, great people, great product! I was told I would have to wait 14 days, but it turned out I only had to wait 10 days. The whole thing was quick and easy. Ellan did a really nice job.“

“I discovered this place through a post on Threads, where someone shared their great experience with them. I needed multiple blinds installed for our newly built home, including floor-to-ceiling, loft-sized windows. I had consultations with other blind brands from Turkey and elsewhere, but I immediately knew HSH was the right choice. The owner is extremely knowledgeable, offers thoughtful recommendations, and helps you make the best and most reasonable decisions. Another great advantage is that they have a warehouse/factory in NJ, which allowed them to meet our tight timeline and also didn’t have to worry about any surcharges due to tariff. We couldn’t be happier with the results. The price, quality, professionalism, efficiency and timing were all spot on.“

“HIP, HIP, HOORAY FOR INNOVATION SHADES! So glad we found this company! We were moving into a newly constructed building under a very tight time frame, and very concerned about getting shades installed before moving in. The sales agent recommended Innovation Shades and we could not have been happier! They manufactured, delivered and installed our new shades within 3 weeks. Unheard of with other companies. And their customer service? Top notch! They were concerned just as much as we were about getting these done in time. They were kind, courteous, patient, and always professional. It was a true delight to work with every member of their team. I wouldn’t consider using any other company and we will, without hesitation, be using them for future enhancements in our new home. Bravo!!!“

“My experience with Dave was nothing like two recent reviews, posted following his buy of United Decorators (UD) from Paul, whose excellent reputation speaks for itself.

My mom used UD many times years ago, most likely when Paul was there, so I turned to UD for my own reupholstering needs. In this case, for a tired old loveseat needing some tender loving care.

Choosing the fabric took the longest time, as some were from European sources slow to reply to inquiries about availability and cost.

Dave also rehabilitated the wood frame and applied a new coat of polish making the result a fine example of upholstery craftsmanship.

It took two months to complete but well worth the wait.

Every experience is different but I am happy to say mine was worthy of five stars.“

“I recently had my entire home fitted with custom window treatments by [Company Name], and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. They guided me through selecting the perfect styles and materials to match my home’s aesthetic, ensuring that every window was not only functional but beautifully accentuated.

The installation process was smooth and efficient, with minimal disruption to my daily routine. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and I’ve already received numerous compliments from friends and family on how the new window treatments have transformed the look of my home.

I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality window treatments and stellar customer service. They truly exceeded my expectations!“

“Diego is really awesome! We were struggling to find someone who could make our vision come to life even with our architectural drawing and had to move on from an interior designer who just didn’t get it. But Diego and his team did with 360 degree VR and renderings! We will be reaching out again and having them assist us with continuing to bring our brand to fruition.

“Everything looks great Diego, thank you!! As we move through our process and the time is right we will reach out to you regarding branding/website/social. Once again thank you for working with us and making our vision clear and beautiful with powerful renderings and VR! Talk soon!”“

“The nicest people ever! We were able to stop by for opening day and really appreciated their kindness and expertise. 10/10 will return“

“Very helpful with an amazing selection of
Kitchen and bathroom tiles vanities and
All kinds of faucets for the home.
Tony was so helpful in getting what we needed to redo our kitchen and bathroom.
Great prices too!“

“Thank you Daisy Kitchen cabinet For a beautiful Kitchen that came in on budget. My wife and I love it.“

“A to Z did our entire kitchen after a kitchen leak from our upstairs neighbors. The project lasted from June -it's very final details completing November ( the bulk of the project was completed in early September). There were a few design mistakes, in some instances felt like a lack of oversight and the normal delays in getting the materials delivered. In the middle of the kitchen project we decided to have them do an update on our bathroom - vanity, mirror, countertop. There were set backs, but these guys were honest about it along the entire process and fixed whatever mistakes ( that are inevitable in construction) when I brought it up to them. We are beyond happy with the outcome and would hire them again without hesitation.“

“This past year, I worked with Klein K&B on a full kitchen renovation, and I am very pleased with the outcome. The space is somewhat awkward due to the challenges posed by the building's floor plan and infrastructure. Klein was able to develop some excellent solutions, especially regarding the lighting and cabinetry, ensuring the space doesn't feel too closed in. The designer, Abela, was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job with the layout and overall look. There were challenges along the way, as there are in all projects, but my project manager, Tim, was a rockstar in terms of getting things done, staying cool and calm, and was very straightforward with me about the process and solutions.

On the budget side, Adam was always available to talk about what was possible and what all the options were. I am very happy with the results!“

“We hired MyHome Renovation Experts for a kitchen and bathroom remodel. There were some delays during the renovation, but the team stayed professional and solved the issues. In the end, the renovation looks impressive and we’re satisfied with the results.“

“delphine and her team were amazing in transforming our newly purchased property into a beautiful and comfortable home! her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, as well as professionalism, patience, and sincerity were just a few of the many highlights we appreciated throughout the whole process in working with her. highly recommend and we will certainly look to her again for any future projects!“

“Dna kitchen and bath did a great job on my coop bathroom renovation project. My design had some unconventional details and DNA made sure to execute them flawlessly. From Ady's expertise on the design to Max on the field with the crew & Shevy with her professionalism on helping me with my building management approval process. They even had a project spreadsheet which indicated all of my project scopes, specs, materials & details. This was the first time that I worked with Dna kitchen and bath and I was impressed by how quickly they responded to calls and correspondence. Attention to detail and prompt communication resulted in a beautiful and successful project by far the best experience I had with home remodeling contractors highly recommend this firm“

“We did an up/down apartment combo with Avi and his team and could not be happier. Their work was on time, on budget and very high quality. Having one firm handle everything was seamless and took so much of the stress surrounding logistics out of the process. We have done construction several times over the years and this was BY FAR the best experience we’ve had. Highly recommend. Our project manager, Miguel, was special.“

“Preston and Hector were great to work with. They followed up on any issues and stopped by often during the work to ensure that all was going well. I would recommend them.“

“BEST COFFEE IN BROOKLYN!!!! Not to be dramatic but tgis is the best coffee shop in Brooklyn. Exceptional quality of coffee, and gorgeous ambiance! The outdoor seating is so lovely in the summer! And best of all: you can customize your drinks! This is a coffee lover's heaven!“

“We worked with Stake Home to address persistent water damage resulting from roof and masonry issues. They've done an excellent job. Michael was knowledgeable, flexible, and accommodating. His on-site manager, Celio, did a great job. He and his crew showed up on time, were attentive to details, and got the job done ahead of schedule. Their pricing was reasonable, and we're really happy with their work as a whole. We would definitely work with them again. Highly recommend!“

“This is the best home decor shop and design firm in Hoboken! Antoinette and Michael are easy to work with, very kind, and super talented. Every time I have worked with her, the results have been magical. My apartment in Hoboken is now ready to show off. Fun fact...Antoinette is also a great artist herself. It's always cool to have a 1 of a kind piece in my home. Highly recommend!“

“If you are looking for true quality and luxury, Allstate Flooring is the company to use. They provided both the materials and labor for my recent remodeling project, and the results were absolute perfection.

The craftsmanship is near flawless, and you can tell they take immense pride in their work. It is rare to find this level of attention to detail these days. I highly recommend Allstate Flooring to anyone who wants a high-end, professional finish for their home.“

“We had a T\\u0026G cedar plank installed on our ceiling in the living room by previous owner and hated it! Our extensive research led to stretch ceiling system which was unknown to us. We called PCS and they were fantastic! They came out and gave us a quote the same day. We also had an opportunity to see the product installed at one of the previous projects they completed. Once we approved the quote, they scheduled the installation within 4 days. The installation team showed up on time and finished the job in one day. No mess, no dust. They moved the furniture to the center of the room and moved it back once they finished. The final product looks amazing!“

“I worked with Sonia and Carlos. They were both great and the cabinets are very high quality.“

“One hears horror stories about doing renovations, especially in NYC. My job came in on time and with no cost over runs. The work team was professional, detail oriented, and extremely easy to work with. Strongly recommend them!“

“Thanks for your work — everything was done professionally, neatly, and on time. Wishing your team continued success and great clients ahead!“

“I loved her work, had a few staging projects and DreamRose Design LLC really came through, I told her what I was looking for and she creates an amazing “Design Concept” I use her for all my staging projects, her work is truly amazing and she doesn’t stop until it reaches perfection, I am 100 percent satisfied with her work and would highly recommend her to all.“
