Customers say: Terrific value

"This summer, we worked with Puglisi Renovations to remodel our kitchen, update our stair banister, and refinish our hardwood floors, and we couldnâ t be happier with how everything turned out! Christina was a fantastic point of contactâ reliable, clear in her communication, and spot-on with timelines, which made the whole process so much smoother. Daniele and his team were meticulous and clearly took pride in their work, ensuring we were happy at every stage of the renovation. The kitchen remodel completely exceeded our expectationsâ itâ s stunning!. The updated stair banister and beautifully refinished hardwood floors tied everything together, giving a cohesive look. Plus, the teamâ s attention to cleanup at the end of the project was the finishing touch that made everything even betterâ so appreciated! If youâ re looking for a contractor who's top-notch and provides excellent customer service, we highly recommend Puglisi Renovations. Thank you, Christina, Daniele, and team, for making this renovation a reality!"

"We went with Matt and team for our kitchen remodel and the process could not have been smoother. The project was completed to our standards, on time, and within budget which is really all you can ask for from a contractor. While Matt did not give us the cheapest quote, we found the pricing fair and even asked him to complete some additional projects, like replacing our front door. Matt was professional and easy to work with and told us exactly what needed to be purchased and when which helped keep everyone on track. We would highly recommend Matt and team and plan on using them for additional projects in the future."

"DMR Millwork has been our go-to contractor for years. Founder and owner, Dave Rubino is wonderfully talented and has grown to be like a family member. He has completed many jobs for us over the years from small repairs to rather grand construction. The most recent was remodeling the entire lower level of our home. You could not find a better or more professional company."

"The estimate was on point with timeframe of all the projects. They guys showed up everyday (6) days a week and worked late most nights to finish the days projects. They were courteous. They did a beautiful tiling job in both my bathroom and kitchen. In addition to hardwood flooring, they completed additions in upper bedrooms, restructured and gave our basement a facelift and painted entire home. All were complete per our agreement and in a timely fashion. Honest hard workers!!"

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Livingston, NJ

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces. 

If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.

Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months. 

Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.

Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues. 

Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.

Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements. 

Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.

Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace. 

Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
