Working with Magnolia was a professional experience from start to finish. I was able to get a clear estimate of how much our project would cost, which I wasn't able to get at some other contractors I spoke to. With such a big footprint in the NJ renovation space, I wasn't sure what to expect on pricing but found their estimates comparable with all the other contractors we spoke to. The pricing explanations were always clear, and for the times when we needed to make adjustments for budget they were right there with thoughtful suggestions on alternatives. Our project managers went to bat for us several times with the vendors, which was very appreciated and made us feel like we always had a professional on our side. Clearly experts at what they do, the team at Magnolia was easy and fun to work with. Zero upselling and they were extremely respectful of our budget. We had some tricky challenges with parts of our project, but Magnolia was able to facilitate those conversations for us and help us understand ripple effects of our decisions. As a first-time renovator that made a huge difference in the entire project and was very appreciated. Apart from that, the vendors they use and the materials were always high-quality, with accessible options at all price points. Here's a summary of what you'll get with Magnolia: - A large team of dedicated project managers who are responsive at most hours of the day - High-quality vendors and materials - Honest design feedback and construction recommendations - Clear timeline and pricing communication Working with Magnolia made the entire renovation process feel approachable, and I would definitely use them again on our next project.
