As a bachelor without design sense it was one of the best investments I could have made. It saved me so much time and anxiety about which pieces to pick and every single person who has visited has been amazed by how nicely decorated my apartment is. The process is exactly as described by other reviewers - introductory call, questionnaire, in home visit, and follow up call a week or two later with a mood board and shopping list. Betsy was incredibly personable and easy to talk to. I was also impressed with how much her suggestions matched my style even though I didn't have the vocabulary to communicate it. Everything fit within my constraints and preferences and Betsy helped with follow up questions and suggestions as pieces came in and as I decided to swap out a few pieces.

Hired these guys to install a marble tile backsplash in my kitchen. Also had a very complex mosaic…read moretile design behind the stove. Salesperson called it a "feature wall". We had already purchased the materials from various vendors so all that was needed was the installation. Initially was going to use a contractor recommended to us by Thunderstone Tile in Elizabeth. His guy was always busy and estimated the job while sitting on his couch via FaceTime. After agreeing to remove the existing Formica backsplash myself and patching the walls, he pulled a price out of thin air. $2200!! Even Thunderstone Tile raised an eyebrow when I told him what his contractor quoted me. He then tried to backpedal and say because of the complexity of the mosaic the price was higher. The red flags were flying hot and heavy at that point. I called LaRaj after seeing their work portfolio on their website. I dealt with a very pleasant young lady at the office when I called and said she would send Raj out to look at the job. He spent a good deal of time with my wife answering all her questions as well as FaceTimeing me at work to address my questions. His quote was significantly lower than Thunderstone's contractor. He said his father Henri would be doing the actual installation. You hear people talk about old school but you never really understand until you see it up close and personal. Henri is nothing short of an artist. The kitchen now looks Iike something out of architectural digest Absolutely perfect installation. Clean and sharp grout lines and the mosaic looks like apiece of art. Can't say enough good about these guys. Henri is a true craftsman. Great job!!!

If you want to deal with an unhelpful, arrogant, marble and tile location, where they treat…read morecustomers as if they are non-existent, then this is the place for you! I walked into the store today to find tile for my company's retail stores in the United States. This is a very well known retailer with locations in every state. I entered the store and there was an individual sitting down on their computer. Not once did he say hello or how can I help you. He never even got out of his chair! I walked around for 5 minutes and decided this is not the place for mine, or my company's business. I would be embarrassed for my company to receive my recommendation for this place. Not happy with the mistreatment, I walked out without seeing the other half of this small store. I figured the sales associate probably needed more training on how to get new business from a customer so I decided to call, immediately after I left, and notify the Manager of my bad experience. To my surprise, Raj, the Owner, answered the phone. I explained to him my intentions to potentially give him a lot of business and how I was mistreated during my visit to his store. He became argumentative and stated, "You were only in the store for 5 minutes and you stayed in the front the whole time." I expressed to him that if I were only in the store for 1 minute, someone should have said hello and asked me if I needed help with anything. Raj discounted everything I said, over-talked me, and never apologized for his poor customer service. The conversation was useless at that point. I decided to just write and inform others what to expect when they go to this store. There are too many tile companies in the area to waste your time with someone who is rude and unappreciative of potential new business. Mind you, I just had a wonderful customer service experience, next door, at "Newark Paint II". I was immediately greeted and offered help as I entered. As paint and tile go hand in hand, feel free to give the Newark Paint II your business and drive past "La Raj Tile and Marble."

First, I want to start off by saying that if you are looking for an interior designer, Lisa is who…read moreyou should choose! I can't say enough about Lisa. Not only is Lisa's work amazing she is such a wonderful person. My husband and I first hired Lisa to design our living room. The room was an odd shape and we couldn't decide how to decorate it and it was left undecorated for over a year! We then found Lisa and it was the best decision that we made. For those of you that are not sure if you should hire an interior designer, I am telling you that it is a must. Lisa was wonderful since the first time I spoke to her. The moment you meet Lisa you will love her. She makes you feel comfortable and takes her time to understand your style and your ideas about the space. My husband and I had wanted a large bar in the room and based on her recommendation we did both a bar area and living area. We were so happy with this decision. If we did not hire Lisa we would have made a huge mistake and spent so much money for something we wouldn't be happy with. Lisa is always prompt and very responsive. She is organized, detailed and handled every phase of the project for us. She provides her clients with many different options to ensure that you love every aspect. Lisa is extremely talented and has ideas that you would never think about that all come together beautifully. This room is now our favorite room in the house! Every time we sit in the living room we smile. We have received so many compliments on this space. All thanks to Lisa! Because my husband and I loved Lisa's work so much, my husband surprised me for my birthday and hired Lisa again to design our baby's room. Once again, Lisa's work was impeccable! Having Lisa alleviated all my stress since I wanted to have the room done before my son was born. Lisa worked around the clock to ensure that every detail was done before my son was born. She not only commits to a timeline she also stayed within our budget and provided us with various options in order to achieve the look that we wanted and within our budget. My son's room looks amazing and we owe it all to Lisa. We have other empty rooms in our home and we will hire Lisa again to design our other rooms! Not only have we found the perfect interior designer, Lisa and I have become very close throughout the process. I not only have an amazing interior designer, but a new friend. Lisa thank you for everything!!

I met with a few decorators, but I connected with Danielle right away--she's warm, open, and incredibly knowledgeable. We worked closely together over several months, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She really understood our vision, while also bringing her own creative and experienced perspective to elevate the space. She was very mindful of our budget and helped us decide where to splurge and where to save. The end result is beyond what we imagined--our bedroom is now warm, moody, and cozy. My husband and I both absolutely love it!! It's honestly night and day from where we started. I just wish we had connected with Danielle before we decorated the rest of our house. Danielle was always accessible, responsive, and just a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to transform their space!

The craftsmanship, paint work and attention to detail were all top notch. These guys are professionals and it shows in the work, their communication and their commitment to doing the job on time, on budget and with a priority on perfection and quality. Thank you Trim Team for another great job and upgrading our home. I'm looking forward to our next project together! I cannot express how great it was to work with the Trim Team. We had them add a coffered ceiling to our dining room and wainscoting in our two-story foyer and stairway as well as molding in our front room. From beginning to end, it was clear that the Trim Team were high-end professionals. During the contract phase, they were super communicative and detail oriented. All details were clear and confirmed before we signed anything, which I appreciated. The work they did for us is an incredible upgrade to our home. Again, their skill and attention to detail shines through. They ask great questions, have great ideas and execute great work. Jerry the Painter and his team were a joy to work with as well to ensure that the project was finished to our liking and looked great. Overall, this is a professional company that does great work. I could not be happier with their additions to our house and the experience overall. I highly recommend this company if you want to upgrade your home.

They were extremely professional, both in their communication before, during, and after, as well as their delivery. They asked all the right questions to make sure we were on the same page with what would be built. They communicated the timelines about when they will start, and when it would be finished. All of their work was of very high quality (and I have pretty high standards). They advised when I was asking for subpar decisions (like a full flat paint which would collect dust), and navigated a tricky framing job to build a hidden bookcase door behind the unit. Overall, I was very happy with them and would trust them again in a heartbeat.
