I was on a time crunch and they came out quickly and got designs back to me in a timely fashion. Tony was a life saver, he went beyond his job. He sent me lots of info on lighting and ceiling options. He was very easy to talk to. He never made me feel like my questions were silly. He is a true professional, he knows his stuff! I felt reassured having them do my layout. I knew the town officials had certain requirements and I knew they would make sure everything was done the way the town expected. I met with them both numerous times and they both helped me change the layout a couple times until we got it just right. I'm very happy with the layout and how everything turned out. The price was fair and about average compared to other quotes I got. I highly recommend!

Geoff's services were the best part of my home renovation…read more I needed to fully renovate my childhood home and add a small addition to accommodate our needs. I didn't want to be wasteful and had a specific budget. We also had zoning challenges. Geoff was so creative with our layout and maximized the usability of our small house. He also provided us with an alternative if zoning didn't get approved. The alternative still included everything the expanded version had, so we were covered either way. When it came to zoning, he managed everything for me and had a great relationship with the town. We got everything approved and the committee thought our ideas were great. Then when it came to construction, I was so glad I had Geoff on my side. The builders thought he was super thorough. I appreciated Geoff's advice on what absolutely needed to get done and what didn't, and approximate costs, etc. I felt like he was an advocate for me, and I was so appreciative of his guidance and help throughout the whole project. He's very generous with advice and his time. We absolutely love our home. We are so grateful for our experience with Geoff and highly recommend him!

Should questions arise, as they invariably do from the building inspectors, they are quick to respond. Many times I get what I need the same day.

They are more than willing to meet with customers to tweak any of their designs. Highly recommendend.

As I think about all of the projects I have done with Anthony over the years, I would say respect…read moreis an overarching theme. Respect for the construction team, the homeowner, the subcontractors, the town and respect for the character and quality of the home itself. I truly believe Anthony's secret to success is his respectful demeanor. It is contagious and influences the experience and outcome on every project. It is why his subcontractors keep coming back to him. It is why I keep coming back to him.  It is why I recommend Anthony James for any project, without reservation whatsoever. I began working with Anthony a decade ago. At a prior home, he and his team turned my 90 year old basement into a luxurious lower level. The walls were cement block and wire under stucco. We opened, drilled and repositioned everything -- without getting dust all over our living spaces upstairs. They asked all the right questions of me, and when I was too busy to be involved I knew I could pass the detail decisions off to them. It worked like a charm. From that experience, we hired him to do a bathroom remodel. It was flawless and spotless once again. One of the main reasons I bought my current home is because the prior owner used Anthony James to do a complete gut renovation, and the work was overseen by his amazing foreman Tommy Kraus and exacting carpenter, Carlos Vallejo. I knew immediately the renovations were done with excruciating attention to detail and I would be free from inherited problems. I was right! Before moving into our current house, we wanted to do some additional renovations/additions. It was an easy decision to recruit Anthony and team once again. I knew they could bring creative solutions to some tricky situations and all the right people to the project. They worked to an ongoing schedule and when I needed to move into my home sooner than expected, they made sure I was bringing my family into a safe home with remodeling nearly complete. I was really stunned by how much they cared and respected our needs. They did not want us moving into a hotel for a month, a week or even a few days. It is such a pleasure to write about my favorite builder, Anthony James. His team is so highly regarded in the central New Jersey area because of their unflagging commitment to client satisfaction and quality.
