Services Overview
Design and Layout Consulting - We optimize your kitchen layout, improve the workflow and guide design collaborations. For any project, especially complex ones, you can choose to work with a designer if you’d like. We have many recommendations. Or let our expert team delight you with our years of design experience.
Custom Cabinetry - We have various wood types, textures, colors, finishes and styles for cabinetry. Plus, we offer free personalized CAD (Computer Aided Design) renderings so you can see your cabinets virtually before you buy them. You’ll see how having a virtual rendering of your cabinets is a total game changer! Some of the cabinetry manufacturers we work with include Forever Mark, Green Forest Cabinetry and Wolf Classic.
Countertops and Surfaces - We use all types of premium materials, such as quartz, granite, limestone, soapstone, travertine, and marble. Aside from natural stone, we often use engineered stone. It resists heat well and resists stains from liquids, like wine or coffee. Some of the countertop partners we work with include Spectrum Quartz, Silestone, Cambria, and Caeserstone. These countertop materials are all available with custom edge designs and unique surface treatments. We can also show our past work so you can get inspired!
Appliance Integration - We integrate any appliance of your choosing, including energy-efficient and smart appliances. We have a list of some of our favorite appliance brands subdivided by budget and can share that with you. Finally, we have the best prices as we leverage our wide network of kitchen suppliers and crafters.
Lighting Solutions - We offer ambient LED, pendant lighting, spot lights, under-counter lighting, chandeliers and any other lighting you can dream of! Under-counter lighting has been very popular lately and is a beautiful way to give your kitchen a nice glow at night when you traipse in for a glass of water or a midnight snack.
Flooring Options - Our stylish and durable floor materials include non-slip luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and water-resistant laminate flooring. Of course, we also work heavily with ceramic and porcelain tile as well as many types of wood.

The Garden State Renovations Promise
Above all else, we are an ethical company known for doing quality work without cutting corners. Being an ethical company means we deeply care about our clients’ happiness and we care about maximizing the potential of every kitchen. We also care about sustainability and are able to offer sustainable products, cabinets, finishes, flooring, and anything else. We are precise with our measurements so we don’t leave extra material that could take up lots of space in your home, lying around.
Our Process
It all starts with a free consultation where we come to your residence, take a look at the space and learn about your needs and kitchen wish list. If asked, we can offer a ballpark estimate of the renovation. However, please note that it won’t be fully accurate until we measure everything and take into account the kitchen layout - this is our second step. At this point we start looking into any necessary permits and approvals so we can keep the work moving. Next, we’ll call in our designer or let our suppliers inspire you at their warehouse where you’ll join us for our free shopper service where we go with you to pick out cabinets, countertops and anything else you need. At this point, our timeline comes into play and a foreman is dedicated to your service — you can ask or consult with them at any phase of the project. Lastly, our business owner and lead contractor, Marshall Gemal, will do a final, thorough quality assurance check of the entire kitchen. He’ll look at plumbing, fixtures, installations and more. And that’s our process! Of course, please expect daily communication updates from your foreman and open lines of communication with Marshall Gemal. He can be reached at 848-667-1400.

“We hired Garden State Renovations to remodel our 1935 home’s kitchen, and they exceeded expectations. Tim F., the General Contractor, was incredible—he understood our vision, caught design details we overlooked, and ensured everything was perfect. The intricate tile work, plumbing, electrical, and finishes all turned out beautifully. The team was on-site daily and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend—call Marshall and ask for Tim!”

We serve all 53 municipalities in Monmouth County, including Colts Neck, Monmouth Beach, and Rumson, as well as 33 municipalities in Ocean County, including Jackson, Lavalette, Point Pleasant Beach, and everywhere in between! We also do work outside these counties and are constantly expanding so if you are not in these counties, give us a call and we’ll do our best to help.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in NJ?
A permit is only needed if we are completely rearranging the kitchen. Generally, it is not needed if the footprint stays the same. Either way, our entire team has expertise in getting and leveraging permits as needed. You’ll have minimal involvement in this process as our expert team will take it from here.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Average kitchen remodel, large or small: typically completed within 4-8 weeks.
Luxury or custom projects: usually delivered in 8–12 weeks from initial consultation to completion.
Express projects: we have flexibility to complete some projects within 4 weeks (ideal for smaller upgrades).
Can I get an estimate during the consultation?
Yes, you can get an estimate during our initial consultation. We base these on dozens of previous, similar projects. However, a detailed estimate requires precise measuring of the space and careful planning which happens shortly after the initial consultation.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in New Jersey?
Our budgets and project sizes vary so much because they’re uniquely tailored to YOU and your space. Typically, kitchens range from $25,000 to over $250,000 for fully customized luxury remodels. We can truly cater to any budget—what we need from you to price our contracting work is your dream kitchen wishlist!
Where can I save money on a kitchen remodel?
During our free shopper services we can guide you to mid-range materials that look high end. No one can tell the difference much of the time! We’ll work with you on cabinetry that has fewer customizations. We can also phase the renovation process to spread costs. Our deep network of 30+ suppliers helps each buyer renovate their kitchen on their own budget. Finally, we encourage budget-conscious shoppers to join finishing material clubs that offer wholesale or discounted materials like tiles, faucets and appliances.
Will remodeling a kitchen add value to the home?
Remodeling a kitchen will add value to your home as it’s one of the most desirable renovations that a prospective buyer looks for. The current homeowner will also find tremendous value as they get to enjoy a beautiful new kitchen that is the heart of their home.
