Bob Gockeler - Owner
My vast experience in general contracting is coupled with a keen sense of design that is a unique blend, not often found in the world of contracting. I have designed hundreds of projects from simple remodels to complete additions.
I strive to be a local go-to place for people who want that small-town touch, who appreciate the type of personal attention that you can only get by dealing directly with the owner of a company. Blending design and creativity with my years of building and construction assures my clients the best possible solutions for their home remodeling projects. I have been able to take on the seemingly impossible and make dreams come true for my clients.
People have always marveled at my sense of style and color. I have a natural ability for seeing "what could be." I've been involved in building and remodeling for over 20+ years and that experience gives me insight into how a space could be transformed. I now have the best of both worlds with Kitchen Intuitions and KraftMaster Renovations, it has given me the opportunity to not only design, but remodel a project from start to finish.
Robin Finnegan - Senior Designer
Robin has over 18 years of experience in construction and remodeling with over 11 years designing kitchens and bathrooms. In addition to her years of experience, she studied Architectural and Construction Technology. Her experience working with all budget levels has given her a unique perspective on economical design solutions. Because of her hands on familiarity with all aspects of construction, she has an extensive knowledge base in order making sure her clients' design dreams can be realized.
Some of Robin’s favorite projects are larger additions that involve creative space planning solutions. She is an expert at seeing the whole picture of the house and making practical suggestions to accomplish most, if not all, of her client's wish list.
Being the mother of three children has not stopped Robin from becoming a ‘health nut’. She actively exercises and studies nutrition. And the other members of the team are not quite sure what is in the “green grass” smoothie she drinks – they just know it smells bad!
Jessica Williamson - Senior Designer
Jessica is a certified Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) by the National Kitchen and Bath Association. She received her Kitchen and Bath Design degree as well as a Degree in Decorative Arts from the Boston Architectural College.

Jessica is a California native and recently relocated to New Jersey from the Boston area where she had been working as a kitchen designer for the past 6 years. She currently works full-time at Kitchen Intuitions in Chatham, NJ. She has been published in numerous national publications and most notably as a guest expert in New England Home Magazine. She is considered an expert on Green and Sustainable kitchen and bath design.
On a more personal note, she is an avid reader and has been mocked by friends for "skipping over the boring parts". Jessica also loves to eat sunflower seeds and is thinking of submitting an application to the Guinness Book of World Records for most sunflower seeds shelled by mouth in 3 min. Just an idea!
