What our clients and colleagues have to say...
Quality...
"Rick remodeled both our kitchen and master bath and is a perfectionist. He treats the job as if it were his own home. He has no patience for shoddy work and is heads above the rest in terms of experience, honesty and raw knowledge. We have worked with and recommended Rick many times, and he has become a friend. If he is working in our neighborhood, sometimes he actually just stops by to check back on his work and say a quick hello. You just don't expect this from a contractor."
- Client, North Haledon, NJ
Honesty...
"We recently hired M.R. Scrofani Building company after purchasing our home and planned to do a major structural kitchen overhaul along with other more minor work. Based on our conversations with Rick, we actually decided NOT to do the kitchen right away -- he encouraged us to live in the house for a year, use the kitchen, get through a few holidays with lots of people and traffic in the house and then decide if we really wanted the changes we were requesting. We were astonished that he actually counseled us -- and talked himself out of a very lucrative part of the work. Had we not listened to him, we would've spent tens of thousands of dollars and changed our house in a way that now, we see does not suit us. We will soon do the kitchen remodel with Rick - but now we know what we really want!"

"Rick's expertise in construction and realty in the North Jersey area was invaluable to me and really helped me fix and sell my house for more than I had expected. I had initially hired the lowest priced local contractor to do some updating in my kitchen. It was a disaster and because I was going through a divorce, I was pressed for time and money. Rick knew what the house would command if we fixed the kitchen properly while still being being judicious about materials and cost knowing I would not stay there. I took a leap of faith, spending more than I expected and in turn wound up with a beautifully remodeled kitchen that "sold' the house and garnered far greater an asking price compared to my investment. He was knowledgeable and trustworthy and a true godsend!!!"

Experience...
"I've known Rick for 20 years. There are few contractors out there left like him - most guys just come in with a computer program printout of what they need to order without really understanding the nuances of the design - Rick does expert measuring and designing based on each individual job. He knows how the possible quirks of a house or space affect the design and proper installation. When he hands you a drawing you just know how much knowledge and detailed thinking is behind it - not many guys are left out there like that."

"About 8 years after we hired M.R. Scrofani Building Company to remodel our house, a large picture window they installed started to show condensation. We called Rick despite the passage of time not knowing what to expect. He inspected the window and said that the seal had broken. We were shocked later that same afternoon to find out that his company still had the ORIGINAL receipt for the window, he had already spoken to the manufacturer, and that the issue would be covered in full by their warrantee. We were floored. We received a brand new window, Rick installed it and the problem was solved."
