    After completing a full-gut kitchen renovation for us several years ago, we knew to look no further than AJMB when planning a large-scale home addition. Their craftsmanship is exceptional and helped us transform our dated ranch-style house into a home built for today’s modern lifestyle. The AJMB team assisted us with every step of the process, leaving no detail neglected. Their sub-contractors and vendors were all highly skilled and easy to work with. We highly recommend them for any large home renovation project or new build.

    Anthony James Construction is a First Class renovation/construction firm that also offers design services. They have completely reconstructed three homes for my family in the past 15 years (see below). The quality and attention to detail is amazing! There is no magic bullet, however. Anthony Cerami works tirelessly to improve his successful formula every waking day. He has long-standing relationships with each trade, so they not only show up for his jobs...they do their best work for his jobs. He knows most of the local townships and suppliers, so speed is never compromised. Further, Anthony and his team know how to make your house a home. Although the services of an architect are paramount to home design/construction/renovation, the finishing touches...the decisions that make ones home comfortable vs geometric, perfect vs efficient, the ones that make you love your home instead of curse the pantry door that swings the wrong way every time you reach for cereal in the morning...happen on site, with the contractor at the 11th hour. That is why AJC has always offered design services within his firm.But I digress. You want Anthony James Construction on your job because they know their business, they work to timelines, they will own your project years into the future (the welcome phone call during a hurricane) and the project cost process is fair, timely and transparent. Top that off with the driving force of the company is the desire to make your house your home. What more can you ask for?

    Our first experience with AJMB was approximately 20 years ago, when they transformed our Cape Cod into a more traditional 2 story home. The result was better than we could have imagined.We were so impressed with the quality of construction, attention to detail, professionalism, and overall experience, that when we wanted to add a first floor addition, we did not hesitate to contact AJMB again. Their management team and architect took our design ideas, improved on them and created plans that were uniquely tailored to our lives. They were easy to work with, cost conscious, extremely responsive, and overall, just really nice people. On site, we were thrilled that, once again, got to work with Tom, who had taken the lead on the construction at our house 20 years ago. He is a true craftsman and inspires confidence at every turn. When unexpected, unpredictable issues turned up when the walls came down, he promptly resolved them. We could always trust him to do things right and make things right. We relied heavily on his experience, input and guidance - and he did not disappoint. He came up with innovative and creative ideas to improve our home - and made ideas we thought were impossible, possible. In all - a good experience, and we are very happy with how the project turned out. Thank you AJMB!

    Our house addition and major home renovation with Anthony James Construction came out beautiful. The design and workmanship is top notch as all of the details are handled by specialists from the framing to the floors, the tile /stone work, trim work to every aspect. We trusted the design concepts and details for the changes to our home and are beyond thrilled with the new layout. We added a new master suite and renovated the majority of our house. As we lived through the construction, Anthony & his team were respectful of this as well as to complete in time for the holidays. As a corporate executive I expected nothing but the best from Anthony’s team from communication, to remain on task and budget which they delivered. We still cannot believe that this is our home and would highly recommend Anthony James Construction as you will be very happy with the outcome.

    We have just finished a renovation on our 1860s farmhouse with Anthony and his team! We are so happy with how everything turned out. Having read his reviews and seen his work we knew we wanted to work with him and we were delighted he did. Our house is old and quirky and that is what we love about it. Many others wanted to fix our house but Anthony understood that we love the charm of our house but needed to make it functional. We renovated the kitchen, Master bedroom and Bath and the family bathroom. We were impressed with their attention to detail and the quality of work.Communication was great and visibility of where we were in the overall project made the whole process a lot less stressful. We also loved the input that Anthony gave us on the plans and are delighted with changes we implemented because of this. I highly recommend them. The project was also finished on time and on budget!

    A GREAT experience!! I chose Anthony James Construction to work with me on the renovation of my former childhood home, and as an Interior Designer I had a clear vision of what I wanted to create and achieve. I knew that I needed a top-notch, experienced and detail oriented builder who would be able to help me reach those goals, and truly my dream, for the house: creating the best of the new while respecting and honoring the past. Anthony James and his team were absolutely the only ones for the job!Their professionalism, courtesy, focus on quality, and ability to deal with the unexpected changes and issues that will inevitably arise on old house renovations, were exemplary. Anthony and his staff were always responsive, communicative and available to work through any issues. I really enjoyed working with my favorite foreman Tommy Krause and carpenter Carlos, they were always willing to go the extra mile and find solutions and ways to manage the surprises that come up on projects like this.The house is a living embodiment of the dream I had imagined, and thats very much due to the efforts and expertise of Anthony James Construction. As an interior designer, I emphasize quality materials and customer service, and AJ Construction delivers that and more. I look forward to future collaborations with Anthony, and would refer him as the only choice for any client seeking to renovate or build!

    We engaged Anthony James to handle a major renovation to our 130 year old house in Westfield, NJ. We did a gut renovation to the entire first floor, basement, porch, deck and master bed/bath. Throughout the duration of the project, Anthony James was highly communicative, transparent and met all deadlines. If issues arose, Anthony was onsite and problem solved. The Anthony James team is outstanding - professional, respectful and took the time to ensure we were aware of the various stages of the project. We had both modern and traditional elements to our project and they executed perfectly on all fronts. We spent nearly a year working with Anthony and his team. We trust them and without reservation, would recommend them to our closest friends and family.

    My wife and I had Anthony James Construction convert our attic into a big bedroom / living area with bathroom. AJC handled everything from getting the architect to design a floorplan and new roofline, down to finish carpenters, tile installers, etc. (Except we used our own preferred HVAC company and painter.)This was the biggest and best construction experience we have ever had. Several things made this an outstanding experience. First, the project stayed amazingly on the schedule they laid out months in advance. Second, no surprises needing cost increases over the original price. Any extra costs were entirely due to our choice to add things not in the original agreement. And finally, the construction quality and attention to detail is uniformly excellent. We are pretty particular about how we want things, and AJC cheerfully ensured that we were entirely happy. For example, the stairs, stairway rails and banister needed to match the rest of the house and they did an excellent job of ensuring this. Another example was fine finish work inside closets, even in places that are not easily visible. And yet another was the wainscotting wood finish on one wall and a glass-tiled chimney enclosure with a window seat (hiding A/C tubes). In general, they did an excellent job of matching the 1926 architecture, so the new space fits seamlessly with the old.All trades were very professional and highly skilled in their areas of expertise. They showed up on time and cleaned up well after themselves.One reason this all went so well is that there was an excellent on-site manager, Tom, who constantly supervised and ensured that everything was going to plan (and meeting our high standards!). Tom and / or Anthony James inspected everything at the end of every construction day. They returned calls promptly and answered any questions or concerns. They took our concerns seriously and the project turned out exactly as we envisioned it.We are entirely happy with this experience and will recommend Anthony James Construction to everyone from now on. Everyone who who has seen the project loves it.

    Anthony James is the ONLY company we would ever work with after completing a two story addition to our family home in Westfield, NJ. On time, on budget and they exceeded my expectations in every area.They turned our home into our dream home and for that we are so grateful.

    We recently had Anthony James Contruction work on a large 1st floor extension and a complete renovation of our home. It was a wonderful experience as they were professional, knowledgable and really understood what we wanted and delivered accordingly. We would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for quality work and good service.

    Anthony James recently completed construction of an addition to our home. The work was expertly done. we are thrilled with the quality of construction. The contractors kept us fully informed of upcoming steps. We have received many compliments on the look of the house. From the first date to the last, Anthony James made us feel like our job mattered to them and that our satisfaction was their goal. Thank you so much!
