A recommendation from Felician Sisters, Immaculate Conception Province:
During the summer of 2009, the Felician Sisters engaged Garden State Brickface to do a major facelift of the foundational buildings on the property.
These buildings are almost a century old and many of the original bricks were weatherbeaten, compromising the integrity of the buildings. The Felician Sisters called in a Garden State representative and from that point on, the professional contact between our religious community and Garden State has been most impressive.
The sales rep from Garden State surveyed the entire building, explained what was needed to the Felician Sisters' contact group, and described how the project would get done during the summer before the start of the school year. When the labor force came on site, each member was professional, respectful, dedicated and conscientious. The foreman of the work crew was outstanding and made himself available for questions and comments from the Felician Sisters. The company planned their work so that there was little interference with the usual routine at the convent nor Felician College's Kirby Hall. The crew was so task-oriented that the project was completed ahead of time. Materials were always neatly stored and the worksite was left in order at the end of the day. Safety was of prime concern. At the project's end, repairs were made where heavy cranes and scaffolding had caused unavoidable landscape and sidewalk damage.
Now the Felician Sisters are praising God for a wonderful exterior "facelift." The buildings look beautiful. It almost appears that a magic wand was used to transform the buildings. Everything is back in place, neat and attractive.
The Felician Sisters acknowledge the outstanding work of this company and readily recommend Garden State Brickface Company to both individual home owners and to those responsible for larger institutions. Their reputation as a premier company is really deserved.
Sincerely,
Sister Mary Bridget Becker

Dear GSB,
I wish to commend you and Garden State Brickface for the work done at my house. As you know, the original work was done over twenty years ago - with care and precision - and has certainly stood the test of time.
It was very nice to call on a company twenty years later and find that many of the people who did the original work were still there.
My thanks to Stanley Kobersky, who did the original work and supervised the recent work, and to the foreman and his crew.

Dear Mrs. Lukas,
My husband and I would like to thank Garden State Brickface for a job well done. My home looks great. The foreman and his crew, were great workers.
Doug, Val and Keith were very kind and answered all my questions. I was very pleased with the attention to detail and the way they cleaned up after each day.
Once again thank you for making my home a better looking place to drive up to after a hard day.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mercy Diaz

Dear Mrs. Lukas:
A quick note to tell you how pleased we were with the efforts put forth by your people on our behalf last month.
Val and John arrived expecting a simple two- hour job to replace a few corroded fascia "boards" which I had identified. Under their professional scrutiny, however, they found a lot more problems than my aging eyes were able to see. Didn't phase them in the least. They went about their business and fixed all that needed to be fixed. Five hours later they departed leaving new fascia "boards" all around and leaving the premises looking neat and clean.
You can be proud of the very professional and business like manner Val and John displayed in getting the job done.
Hopefully we will never again need "repairs", but if we do Val and John would be our first choice. Thank you.
Sincerely
Donald A. Anderson
Dear Mrs. Lukas,
Not only were the crew professional and showed attention to detail, but they were truly interested in making us happy. Their work was top notch and they are without a doubt an asset to the company. We would gladly recommend Garden State Brickface to anyone.

Dear Garden State Brickface,
My husband Joe and I couldn't be more satisfied with the way our house turned out: From the set-up crew to the stucco crew, the job was done neatly and well. The crews were pleasant and always unobtrusive. Please feel free to use my "after" picture as well as our name for positive reverences.

Dear Mrs. Lukas,
I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful team for their hard work and efforts in brickfacing my home.
My first experience was meeting with your sales representative. He took great pride in presenting your product and did it in a friendly and professional manner. He was a pleasure to work with.....
Dear Ms. Horvath:
I would like to thank Garden State Brickface for the wonderful vinyl siding job done on my home. The entire experience has been a positive one, starting with your sales representative and your surveyor Ken Brezina, both whom very knowledgeable and professional.
To put this job in perspective I need to let you know that I converted my garage to living space and had a new garage added to my home. Since September of 2003 I have had several different crews on site and have had a series of problems (e.g. showing up late, or not at all, leaving a mess for me to clean up, poor job performance etc.) Therefore, it was delightful to have this aspect of my project completed stress-free...

Dear Cindy,
Just want to drop you a note to say how grateful I am for your team that worked on my house. These workers were so professional and talented that it was a pleasure to work on such a large project.
Right from the beginning after meeting Joe Hely and Ken Brezina, I felt that this undertaking would be in good hands. Then after meeting with Lisa Carr, her suggestions were all perfect for this house. She made it charming and lovely. I very much appreciated your sharp input and oversight.
Then setting up the work with the production department, was seamless. Tom Kaczmarek is a leader; he went right to work with his men who carefully created a stoneface work of art on the foundation of the house. Tom Kaczmarek, Alberto Alverez, Eddie Albelo, & Guilermo Brea, did an absolutely beautiful job. My neighbors were fascinated watching the process.
It was also amazing to watch only two men totally transform the peaks and siding. Even here, every effort was made, every day, to make this house just that much more special. Val Cunha is an artist as well. Making final choices that make the details Lisa chose look perfect. Of course, his co-worker John Bocchino was right there supporting and helping make the house absolutely beautiful.
Thanks again,
Beth Lasch
Dear Annmarie,
This is just a short letter that my husband and I would like you to present in one of your next group meetings with your employees.
Lisa Carr is an excellent rep for your company. She took her time to explain everything involved, showed us colors and exactly what had to be done, also helped us pick out colors to accent the house. Thank you Lisa for your help. It came out beautiful.
The foreman, Manny and his crew were also excellent. They all worked well together and all of them were nice people. When they left at the end of their day, you wouldn’t even know...the clean-up was gone.
We would like to thank Garden State Brickface for a wonderful job that you have done on our front wall, and the workers that you sent here.
I must add this: More people are noticing this house now more than ever, since the house is for sale.
We have a log of “Lookie Lou’s” now. It really stands out. Thank you.
Marilyn and Bill Andersen
