When Lisa, a recently retired educator with a passion for coaching, decided it was time to remodel her home in Long Branch, NJ, she knew she needed an experienced and trustworthy team. Referred by her sister who had a home built by Shari Wishengrad twenty-five years earlier, Lisa turned to Diamond Builders, a woman-owned business with 30 years of experience in new construction and renovations in Central New Jersey. What began as a simple kitchen remodel quickly transformed into a complete townhouse renovation, showcasing Diamond Builders’ expertise in creating beautiful and functional living spaces.
The Beginning of a Jersey Remodeling Project
Lisa initially approached Diamond Builders with the idea of remodeling her kitchen and adding a half bathroom to her downstairs living area by utilizing space from her garage. However, as Shari Wishengrad, the head of Diamond Builders, reviewed the scope of work, it became clear that stopping at the kitchen would be a missed opportunity. Lisa decided to expand the project to include updating her entire townhouse, which had not seen significant changes in over two decades.
Project Highlights
Comprehensive Renovation: The project expanded from a kitchen remodel to a full townhouse renovation, including two upstairs bathrooms, new paint, and updated flooring.
Design Theme: Shari helped Lisa choose a beach/ocean theme with soothing greys, blues, and whites, creating a cohesive and calming atmosphere throughout the home.
Mechanical Upgrades: Diamond Builders’ skilled team updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, ensuring everything met current codes.
Unique Touches: Collaborating with trusted vendors, Shari and her team added unique design elements that brought Lisa’s vision to life.
Attention to Detail: From demolition to the final touches, every aspect of the project was meticulously managed, exceeding Lisa’s expectations.
Bringing the Vision to Life
As the demolition began and the old materials made their way into the dumpster, Lisa watched her home transform daily. The attention to every fine detail was evident as Shari’s team of craftsmen brought the new design to life. The updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems ensured the house was safe and efficient, while the new beach/ocean theme created a tranquil and inviting environment.
The culmination of the project left Lisa in awe. Her townhouse, now dubbed her “Vacation Villa,” was unrecognizable from its previous state. The collaboration with Shari and the Diamond Builders team resulted in a home that surpassed her imagination and fulfilled her dream of a perfect retirement retreat.
For those considering a remodeling project, Lisa’s experience with Diamond Builders is a testament to the transformative power of expert craftsmanship and personalized design. Whether it’s a kitchen update or a complete home renovation, Shari Wishengrad and her team at Diamond Builders are ready to bring your vision to life.
