Designs By D and J, LLC

Fantastic experience! They handled all co-op approvals smoothly and delivered a modern, stylish apartment. Highly recommend for NYC co-op renovations.

D and J were absolute lifesavers for our New York studio renovation! We were on an incredibly tight schedule and needed to move in within 14 days of getting our apartment. Even with the holiday rush just two weeks before Christmas, they met our deadline perfectly. The team was incredibly thorough and kept us informed through every step. We especially loved how friendly and personal the experience was. We got to meet the owner, who supervised the entire process to ensure everything was perfect. We even enjoyed hearing stories and seeing photos of their family—they are such lovely people that we now consider them friends! They handled a significant amount of work in a short window, including: Demolition: Removing old built-ins we didn't want. Flooring: Sanding and refinishing the hardwood floors beautifully. Brickwork: Exposing and sealing a hidden brick wall that the previous owner had covered up. Clean-up: They did a fantastic job cleaning up the site, even on a Saturday, so we could move right in. Their pricing was very reasonable, which we especially appreciated given the rush. Now that we are moved in, we are already looking forward to using them for our next phase of remodeling for our bathroom and closets. We highly recommend this team!

We hired Designs by D & J for our apartment renovation in NYC and couldn’t be happier. Jay was honest, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. The quality of the kitchen and bathroom work speaks for itself, and there were no surprises along the way. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trustworthy contractor in New York.

Designs by D & J did an outstanding job on our Brooklyn brownstone renovation, including two kitchens, three full bathrooms, and one half bath. Their team was professional, organized, and clearly experienced with brownstone renovations. The kitchen and bathroom workmanship was excellent, communication was consistent, and the project stayed on schedule. If you’re looking for a reliable brownstone, kitchen, and bathroom renovation contractor in Brooklyn, I highly recommend Designs by D & J.

I hired Designs by D and J LLC Remodeling Experts for a bathroom remodelling project in my Brooklyn apartment. At first, I was worried because the old bathroom had water damage behind the tiles, but their team explained the issue clearly and gave me practical solutions without pushing unnecessary work. The project took a little longer than expected, but the final result looked modern, clean, and much more functional. I appreciated how they kept me updated throughout the process.

The team is very responsive with excellent follow through. I hired them for a job replacing some tile, and I would definitely use them again. I felt they were honest - different than many NYC-area contractors.

Designs By D&J, what can I say… They are truly the dream team and by team, I’m including myself in there too, haha. From the beginning of the project, D made every effort to help conceptualize my exact vision and came up with a great design plan to move forward with. The advice that she gave regarding my oversize medicine cabinet really helped to pull my bathroom together and I wouldn’t have considered it had not been for her. I have had less than amazing experiences with contractors in the past, specifically where certain questions or follow-ups were treated like a nuisance. Jay and his crew understood that my home is my sanctuary and also my investment. Any concerns or questions that came along as we worked through my renovation were always welcome and treated with respect. Answers were thorough and the approach to every detail of the project was handled with amazingly specific care. This will always be my design firm and contractor of choice for any projects going forward.
