TO BEGIN: Our Kitchen Remodel Is OUTSTANDING & VERY BEAUTIFUL!
We have a 250 year old house & are very protective of her good & historically appropriate care. Our OLDE small kitchen needed careful modernizing & my husband & I were stumped as to what to do within our small space.
I began visiting kitchen redesign/ house remodeling businesses to see who I might find. One fall day I stopped into KraftMaster Renovations store front & was met by 3 generations of the Gockeler family. I had no appointment, but they gave me time. They listened & gave me a rare sense of being in good hands & I'd only just met them. I went home & told my husband, “I think I've found the right people for our historic kitchen remodel.” Following our 1st meeting, my husband was fully on board. So we began.
Design meetings with Bob Gockeler & Maureen Madigan began in our small kitchen. During that first meeting Bob & Maureen moved us to solutions we'd never considered & we were excited. As we worked the design they both took us into & through great buying choices, & great solutions due to good & creative problem solving -- we were a team.
Demolition began late summer & we were essentially done in December. Every member of their team was TIP TOP & I ALWAYS felt comfortable when they were in our home. I experienced a rarely-felt-in-NJ courtesy from every member of their team & they always left the premises (inside & out) tidy & clean & everyone was a hard worker.
SPECIFICALLY:
-I met Robbie Geckeler & Matt Carlson with their deliveries & on site work. They were, as I experienced with the entire team, so courteous, friendly & hard working.
-The carpentry on our project was I believe uniquely challenging and their team was superb. Their Master Carpenter, Chris Stevens was superlative in his care, talent & skill as was his team: Lead Carpenter, Tyler Cornelissen & Apprentice, Cam Kennedy.
-It was a pleasure to meet & work with Julie Geckeler who managed communications & scheduling. I really liked the online project management tool (CoConstruct). Meetings in their new office & showroom assisted our decisions. I shifted my countertop choice at one such visit, while perusing one of their lovely displays.
-At the end of our project I met Alexandra Grosser & Bob’s daughter for the photo shoot, true professionals – ALL.
-I want to cycle back to Bob Geckeler & Maureen Madigan to say Thank You! We couldn’t have done this without you! Your creativity, professionalism, kindness, & hard work were always present. And I must add FUN - This was a FUN PROJECT.
We thank your entire team & your entire family! Everyone who walks into our new kitchen for the first time gasps (literally) & says it’s SO Beautiful - Because it is.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
