Question 1

Are you licensed and insured for kitchen remodeling in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Yes, True Contracting LLC is a fully licensed and insured kitchen remodeling contractor in New Jersey. We hold NJ Home Improvement Contractor license #13VH11264200 issued by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance ($1M per occurrence) and workers' compensation coverage on every project. Before any kitchen renovation begins, we provide you with copies of our license and certificate of insurance. This protects you from liability and ensures all work meets New Jersey building codes and safety standards.

Question 2

Do you handle permits and inspections for kitchen remodels in South Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle 100% of the permitting process for your kitchen remodel. In New Jersey, any kitchen renovation involving electrical work (new outlets, lighting, appliance circuits), plumbing changes (sink relocation, dishwasher installation, gas lines), or structural modifications (wall removal, load-bearing changes) requires a building permit. True Contracting manages all permit applications with your local township — whether that's Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Voorhees, Marlton, or any South Jersey municipality. We coordinate all required inspections (rough-in, final) and ensure your kitchen renovation passes code. You never have to visit the permit office or deal with inspectors directly.

Question 3

How long does a kitchen renovation take from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

Kitchen renovation timelines depend on the scope of work. A cosmetic kitchen refresh (new countertops, backsplash tile, cabinet hardware, and paint) typically takes 1–2 weeks. A mid-range kitchen remodel with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and lighting usually takes 3–5 weeks. A full gut kitchen renovation including layout changes, new plumbing, electrical upgrades, and custom cabinetry takes 5–8 weeks. Factors that can extend timelines include custom cabinet lead times (typically 4–6 weeks for ordering), countertop templating and fabrication (2–3 weeks after cabinets are installed), and permit inspection scheduling. We provide a detailed project timeline during your estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Question 4

Can I stay in my home during a kitchen renovation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most of our South Jersey clients stay in their homes throughout their kitchen renovation. We understand a kitchen remodel can be disruptive, so we take steps to minimize the impact on your daily life. We set up dust containment barriers with plastic sheeting and zipper doors to protect the rest of your home from construction dust. We maintain clear paths to bathrooms and bedrooms at all times. Our crew cleans up at the end of every workday — we don't leave your home a mess overnight. We can set up a temporary kitchen area with your microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge if needed. Many clients use outdoor grills, slow cookers, and takeout during the renovation. We'll discuss logistics during your consultation to ensure the process works for your family.

Question 5

What does a kitchen remodel cost in South Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Kitchen remodel costs in South Jersey vary based on size, materials, and scope of work. Here are typical price ranges: A cosmetic kitchen update (new countertops, backsplash, hardware, paint, lighting) runs $8,000–$18,000. A mid-range full kitchen remodel (new cabinets, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, appliances, plumbing fixtures) costs $25,000–$50,000. A high-end custom kitchen renovation (premium cabinetry, luxury countertops, custom tile work, structural changes, high-end appliances) ranges $50,000–$100,000+. The average kitchen size in South Jersey homes is 150–200 square feet. We provide free in-home estimates with detailed line-item pricing so you know exactly what's included — no hidden fees or surprise change orders.

Question 6

What types of kitchen cabinets do you install?

Accepted Answer

True Contracting installs a wide range of kitchen cabinet styles and lines to fit every budget and design preference. Cabinet door styles include: Shaker (the most popular choice in South Jersey), flat-panel/slab modern designs, raised panel traditional, and inset for a custom high-end look. We work with semi-custom cabinet manufacturers that offer hundreds of finish options, soft-close hinges and drawer slides, and customizable sizes. We also install full custom cabinetry for clients who want completely bespoke solutions. Popular finishes include white, gray, navy blue, natural wood tones, and two-tone combinations. During your consultation, we'll discuss your style preferences, storage needs, and budget to recommend the best cabinet options for your kitchen.

Question 7

What countertop materials do you install for kitchen remodels?

Accepted Answer

We install all major kitchen countertop materials including: Quartz (engineered stone) — the most popular choice for South Jersey kitchen remodels due to its durability, low maintenance, and consistent patterns. Top brands include Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Granite — natural stone with unique patterns, requires periodic sealing. Quartzite — natural stone with marble-like appearance but higher durability. Marble — classic luxury option, best for lower-traffic areas or homeowners who embrace natural patina. Butcher block — warm, natural wood option for islands or accent sections. Solid surface (Corian) — seamless, repairable, good value option. We coordinate countertop templating after cabinets are installed and manage the fabrication and installation process with our trusted South Jersey stone suppliers.

Question 8

Do you help with kitchen design and material selection?

Accepted Answer

Yes, design guidance and material selection are included at no extra charge with every True Contracting kitchen remodel. Nick works directly with you to plan your kitchen layout, select cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, flooring, fixtures, and hardware. We consider your style preferences, how you use your kitchen, storage needs, and budget. For complex layouts or structural changes, we can recommend and coordinate with licensed kitchen designers or architects. We'll take you to our supplier showrooms in the Cherry Hill and Marlton area to see and touch materials in person. You'll receive 3D renderings or detailed drawings of your new kitchen before construction begins. There's no design fee — it's all part of our comprehensive service.

Question 11

How do I get started with a kitchen remodel estimate?

Accepted Answer

Getting started is easy. Call us at (609) 668-7074 or fill out the quote request form on this page. We'll schedule a free in-home consultation at a time that works for you — typically within a few days. During the consultation, Nick will visit your home, discuss your vision for your new kitchen, take measurements, review your existing layout, and answer all your questions. Within 3–5 business days after the consultation, you'll receive a detailed written estimate with line-item pricing for materials and labor. There's no obligation and no pressure. If you decide to move forward, we'll schedule your project and guide you through material selections. Most kitchen remodels book 2–4 weeks out, so the sooner you schedule your consultation, the sooner we can get started.

Question 12

What makes True Contracting different from other kitchen contractors?

Accepted Answer

True Contracting stands out from other South Jersey kitchen contractors in several ways: Owner-operated — Nick is on-site managing every kitchen remodel, not a salesman who disappears after you sign. Transparent pricing — our detailed written estimates include every cost upfront with no hidden fees or surprise change orders. Quality craftsmanship — we use skilled tradesmen who take pride in precision tile work, clean cabinet installation, and attention to detail. Clean worksite — we respect your home with daily cleanup and dust containment. Communication — you'll have Nick's direct cell phone and regular project updates. Licensed and insured — full NJ credentials with proof of insurance provided. Local reputation — we've built our business on referrals from satisfied South Jersey homeowners, and we protect that reputation on every project.

Question 13

Can you remove a wall to create an open concept kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we frequently remove walls to create open concept kitchen layouts in South Jersey homes. Many homes in Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Voorhees, and surrounding areas were built with closed-off kitchens that homeowners want to open up. The process involves: determining if the wall is load-bearing (we bring in a structural engineer if needed), obtaining proper permits from your township, installing a support beam if removing a load-bearing wall, relocating any electrical, plumbing, or HVAC in the wall, and finishing the ceiling and floor transitions. Open concept kitchen renovations are one of our specialties. We handle everything from structural engineering consultation to final paint touch-ups.

Question 14

Do you install kitchen islands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, kitchen islands are one of the most requested features in South Jersey kitchen remodels. We design and install islands of all types: standard islands with cabinet storage and countertop workspace, islands with seating (bar-height or counter-height overhang), islands with built-in sinks and dishwashers, islands with cooktops and ventilation, waterfall edge countertop islands for a modern look, and portable or rolling islands for smaller kitchens. Adding a kitchen island may require electrical work for outlets (NJ code requires outlets on islands), plumbing rough-in if adding a sink, and proper clearance planning (typically 36–48 inches of walkway space). We'll help you determine the ideal island size and features for your kitchen layout.
