Monk's Home Improvements

Highly recommend Mike Mina (Morris County). He was extremely responsive and no pressure sell. He and the whole team (Foreman - Victor) were all a pleasure to work with and extremely reliable - they showed up everyday early, respectful of our belongings and did an amazing job. Already have future projects. We started with painting one bedroom and decided to paint amost full interior of house.

Very happy with the work! Jon Clausen, Project Manager, was easy to work with throughout the project!

Nelson was helpful, professional, and worked with us to ensure the project went smoothly.

Over the last year and a half, I have had Monk's Home Improvements take care of some projects around my house. The first was a renovation of my basement. The second was the replacement and painting of exterior trim and a couple of windows. The third project will entail replacing the patio, which will be done this summer. On each project, I have so far been very impressed with the professionalism and accessibility of the staff at Monk's, especially Brian and Alex who have made every effort to ensure that the work was done to my satisfaction.

We just completed a remodel of the Master Bath and Powder Room using Monk's. We are extremely happy with the final products. We were impressed with Monk's from the beginning to the end of the project. Denise Klein was so helpful with design and selection of materials. Bill Buckner, our project manager, made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were kept up to date with the whole process. Ron Beitas handled the labor and installation. We were so blown away by the quality and craftsmanship shown by Ron and his crew. At the end of each day the work areas were cleaned and the crew was very respectful of our space. Ron had several ideas to improve the project that we appreciated and used. We wouldn't hesitate to call Monk's for future projects.

The experience working with Mike Mina and Monk's was nothing short of excellent. It was a smaller roject for us...We had a relatively new deck with a portion roofed over, and we were looking to install screens to "enclose" the area. Mike came in, spoke with us about our vision, took his measurements and had a quote to us within a couple of days. We were fortunate enough to be able to schedule the work the following week. The job that was anticipated to take 4 days took two...Mike checked in with us at every step of the process. We could not be happier with the result. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Monk's finished our basement this past month. We are incredibly happy with their work and professionalism. They were able to complete the project in a very timely manner. I highly recommend them!

Nelson and the team were professional and did excellent work. As with any remodel, there were unexpected issues and the team resolved them quickly and creatively.

Everything was handled thoroughly, quickly, and with professionalism. We were out of the house for the last few days of the project and came back to everything finished perfectly!

I have used Monks for many projects at my home over the years including exterior painting, basement renovations and water damage repairs. Most recently, Monks completed renovations on two bathrooms, including a full renovation of our master bath. The finished project is better than I could have imagined and the finishes are upscale and beautiful. Nelson Santiago and the entire team at Monks is always very professional, precise and efficient. They communicate with their clients throughout the process and are very responsive to questions or changes. Overall, it's always a pleasure to work with the team at Monks from the design process to final execution. That's why we'll continue to hire them for projects at our home.

We recently used Monk’s for a guest bathroom gut and re-do. We decided to go with them, as our neighbors used them for a master bathroom and were quite happy. We called them and they were immediately responsive, making an appointment to come over for an initial walk-through. From there they provided an extremely thorough and detailed estimate. Based on that, along with our neighbor’s review, we decided to use them. Well, we could not have been happier. Their communication was excellent and clear. Everything was documented. The amount of information provided to us was incredible. There was nothing left to the imagination. It was all extremely comprehensive and transparent. Any questions we had were answered immediately and clarified. There was also no problem if we wanted to buy some of the materials/fixtures ourselves (which we did). Zero pressure to buy through them, although anything bought through them they would guarantee. They were extremely prompt, always arriving exactly when they said they would. They were courteous and kind. No question of ours was too trivial, too dumb, too naïve. Everything was treated with respect. Issues identified along the way were IMMEDIATELY corrected without question. This was truly a partnership, and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy. We were consulted throughout the project for anything they were unsure of or for anything needing further discussion. We left them alone in our house without reservation and felt at ease in doing so. They covered floors and cleaned up every night after themselves. The project manager, Chris, was our go-to guy throughout the project. He approached our questions and concerns calmly and ensured our issues were immediately resolved. He knows his stuff and shared his knowledge freely. He took an active approach and checked in frequently with us. Our crew was headed up by a gentleman named Ivan, who could not have been more respectful, helpful and willing. He and his team’s work was meticulous and any issues that arose (yes, issues will always come up in large projects, so don’t freak out!) were dealt with and corrected immediately with no questions asked. We felt all the way through the process that they had a vested interest in the success of our new bathroom! All in all we could not be happier with our beautiful new bathroom and we look forward to using Monk’s in the future.

They replaced a drop-down attic stair. The work was done well and cleanly. Some slight damage to a wall was repaired the next day even though it meant the job foreman waiting in his truck in my driveway for a couple hours while the spackle dried.

Matt Ayers and his crew did an excellent job gutting a 40-year-old bathroom and replacing it with a new shower, toilet, countertops, sinks, flooring and tiles. They always showed up when expected, worked around my schedule, were friendly, courteous and professional, and did quality work. All drop cloths, supplies and tools were removed from the job area each day and stowed away. A few of the workers did not have strong English, but they are very good at using smartphone translation software and there were no communication problems at all. Matt visited or followed up by phone or email on an ongoing basis. The only minor hitch was that the external tiling vendor sent a box of slightly warped shower tiles. This was corrected immediately with no inconvenience or added cost to me. The job quote was a bit of sticker shock initially but over time I realized you get what you pay for, especially after hearing about negative experiences friends have had with other home remodelers. Overall, very happy.

Finishing up a renovation with Monk . Our project manager Nelson Santiago has been super helpful with making sure everything has gone smoothly. When there have been any issues he has been there to work them out and make them right. I recommend Nelson and monk for your home renovation needs.

As I write this the beautiful countertops of my new kitchen are being installed. The Monk's crew, under the direction of Chris Klug, Project Manager, continue to be very professional, efficient, and detail oriented. The final steps to a completely new kitchen are being completed. I can't say enough great things about Chris Klug, the crew, and the very capable designer, Kala Rae.

I hired Monks to update my condo master bath – the entire process from design to completion was very easy and Matt Ayers the project manager and his team did a great job. The crew was polite and professional. Admittedly there were one or two minor delays, but Matt did a great job to ensure the project moved along and that I was pleased with the outcome. I’m very happy with my new bathroom!

Excellent performance and communication on a major home improvement project. This include new floors, stairway, doors and repainting the entire house.

We just had Monk's complete a kitchen renovation and we are thrilled with the final result! We had a wall knocked down, cabinets repainted, floors redone, and full paint job in the kitchen and dining room. The price was reasonable and the service was outstanding. We loved having Chris Klug as our project manager. Chris let us know in advance exactly what to expect each day the workers were on the job. He was diligent in following up and addressed every request we had until the completion of the project. We are thoroughly enjoying our new space!

The team at Monk’s Home Improvement were fantastic! Roberto is knowledgeable, patience and timely from start to finish. I truly appreciated his guidance and attention to detail. Roberto lead me through the process step by step then introduced me to Joe and Jose who executed all of my wishes resulting in a stunning updated kitchen. I couldn’t be happier!

I would highly recommend Monks for exterior painting. Kurt was very professional and thorough with the estimate and was happy to answer our questions. Greiven did a nice job painting and cleaned up after himself when the job was complete.

We hired Monk's to do painting and flooring work on the entire second floor at my mom's house. Kurt did a great job of prepping us for what to expect in terms of timelines and process. Our foreman Huibel did a wonderful job of keeping my mom informed on a daily basis of his progress. He and his crew did excellent, quality work and my mom was super happy with the finished product. Monk's has done a lot of work for us in the past in addition to the flooring and painting, including wainscotting, window and door install, as well as a new composite deck. We are hiring them again to paint the interior of the garage and to install some workbenches and shelving for storage. We can't wait for this work to be done as it's going to make a huge difference. Highly recommend them!

I have been using Monk's pretty much every year since 2012, and in particular, Kurt Becker. Kurt always returns my calls and messages promptly, he arrives as promised, never makes me feel rushed, and the team always delivers. They have painted my house (in 2012 and the house still only needs touch-ups), power wash and seal my porch every year, painted and done carpentry inside my house, and some one-off smaller projects. I trust Kurt and Monk's - they have never let me down.

I have used Monk’s for both kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects. Both projects exemplified Monk’s professionalism and customer focus. The initial sales experience with Jason was detailed and thorough, Zoriana provided excellent design expertise, and the project manager Nelson was involved every step of the way to ensure quality and timeliness. The projects were completed on schedule and the projects were extremely well coordInated. I highly recommend Monk’s and would use them again for future projects.

We have used Monks services for many home projects. Here is the way they work: 1) schedule appointment, 2) George Day arrives on time, I pad in hand, for the physical estimate, 3) George is an experienced estimator and options are discussed, 4) George generates a written, clear, concise estimate, 5) we make some modifications and book the work, 6) first day of the project George is there to get the crew set up and 7) George is there on the last day of the project to check in to insure the work is done to our specs and we are a satisfied customer. Service purchasing should always be like this. Jim & Therese
