I met with Andrea sometime in August of 2015. I needed someone to design the layout of my hair…read moresalon. I met with a few different architects and Andrea was one of my top picks. Her eye for detail is impeccable. Her imagination and creativity was a breath of fresh air. Meeting with a few different architects I realized quickly how unoriginal a lot of the ideas were, But not Andrea's. I did not choose to hire Andrea simply because her price quote was not in my budget. She did want to work with me and have me make her an offer. But to be honest it was far from my budget and I didn't want to insult her. I truly believe her fee would have been worth every penny if it was in my budget. I would highly recommend her! She was very professional, punctual and warm. She spent a lot of time with me and I truly appreciated her patience and her quote was sent immediately as to not waste any time (I had a time constraint) If you are looking for an architect do yourself a favor and meet with her. She's awesome!!

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. Oftentimes, they will have the letter of explanation ready while I'm driving to their office. They understand that time is money. They are more than willing to meet with customers to tweak any of their designs. Highly recommendend.

We worked with Steve on an extensive renovation of our house this year (2021) and he is attentive and listened to us. He provided us with the design for an open floor plan, modern home that functioned well for our family, all within our budget. This is not our first project with Steve (we worked with him in the past back in 2014) and I am sure we will definitely use him again next time!

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.
