What are the steps in the Berceli design and project process?
We start by listening, and we handle all the details from concept to completion. We use an 4-step management process to help ensure clear communications and a smooth workflow from start to finish.
My co-op/condo board has strict guidelines. Can Berceli meet the requirements?
Our extensive experience in renovating and specializing in co-ops and condos has made our company most desirable for this exact reason. Berceli has a special department fully devoted to the needs of building boards and managements, including processing and expediting alteration agreements. In fact, our track record with building managements is so successful that frequently homeowners are directed to Berceli when requesting recommendations for honest, reliable and professional renovators.

How much time does a [kitchen/bath] project typically take from concept to completion?
Berceli prides itself on quality and efficiency. Our 10 years of experience -- from Manhattan apartments and condos to Bergen County homes and townhouses -- makes us one of the fastest in the business. Once cabinets, faucets and other materials are on-site, many bathroom and kitchen projects can be completed in just 1 to 3 days. Structural changes, of course, take longer. And when plan approvals from condo boards and other authorities are required, our experience in the New Jersey and New York City market gives us a distinct advantage.

Can you get materials and fixtures not shown on your site?
Yes. What you see on our site is just a snapshot of what's available. We are not beholden to any single manufacturer. If you have something in mind, let us know and we can likely order it for you.
What is the most durable material for kitchen/bath counters?
Granite is one of the hardest materials for counters, and available in an array of colors and patterns. Stone materials generally require minimal maintenance. A sealer should be applied every year or two, and at least annually on lighter colors to prevent staining. Granite is also a good choice in bathrooms, although some prefer marble, a softer material. But that's OK because bathroom counters get far less use. Synthetic materials such as Corian® do not require any sealing, but are not as durable as granite.Products such as Caesarstone® and Silestone®, which are comprised of natural quartz, are some of nature’s strongest and most durable materials. Berceli is an authorized dealer for both these products and many others. Give us a call to learn more.
What is the best flooring material for our project?
Beyond durability, choosing a flooring material is primarily a matter of preference -- and budget. Browse our flooring section to learn more about the possibilities. Or just call us.
Can you help us decide on major kitchen appliances?
Yes, and deciding on appliances can be a good place to start a project. Browse our appliance section for ideas, or just pick up the phone and pick our brains.
