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!"

"I've hired Misael several times and I'm very pleased with the outcome as well as Misael's professionalism throughout every project. Estimates are fully documented in line-item form and accurate. Very neat and does his best to minimize impact to daily living. Most recently, we had a basement completely refinished. The job was completed quickly, on budget, and with good quality workmanship. He also had great recommendations for design/materials. Previously, he completed a full bathroom remodel. That was a challenging project for a number of reasons - but Misael persevered through the problems and the resulting bathroom is terrific. I can't recommend CFI enough."

"I hired AJL to complete a whole home renovation, and I couldn?t be happier. I put off the renovation for forever because I was terrified of living in a construction zone for a year. They finished in less than 2 months. The ladies were efficient, meticulous, and easy to work with. From planning and scheduling to installation standards, everything was top notch. Their team gutted and rebuilt 2 bathrooms lighting fast and they look fantastic. Liz designed the kitchen, and I did not realize how inefficient my old kitchen was until I started putting things in the new kitchen. It is a dream to be in! The floors went in very fast and are holding up beautifully. I wouldn?t even consider hiring someone else for any interior renovations."

"Angelo, of Joseph and Sons, is a consummate professional and his knowledge of various projects is endless. His crew was polite, friendly and clean. We originally started with replacing an old railroad tie wall with natural rocks and a concrete shed pad. We ended up with a large patio, a leveled back yard, an upgrades to various garden beds. He also finished the wall with river stone to reduce future cost and upkeep. The pricing was more then fair. Angelo was great with add on projects, giving me Options and his opinion. He never tried to sell a project and was not pushy. He was very responsive to all our needs. I would highly recommend Joseph and Sons. In fact, we will use him again in the future for other jobs including a kitchen remodel."

"100% recommend these guys. Aaron was very professional and provided fair pricing. Really appreciated that they were straight forward in their estimates and timing. We got our wallpaper removed and walls painted in one of our bedrooms. Wallpaper removal is super tedious and they did a phenomenal job. Even did a couple extra things without being asked, which we really liked! We were very happy with the quality of work, so much so, that we asked them to do another job for us - repairing our shed in the backyard. Once again, they delivered great work in a very timely manner. Will definitely plan on using this company again in the future for other home improvement jobs!"

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Rockaway, 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.
