We tailor island designs to your floorplan, whether you need storage, seating, or additional appliances like a wine fridge or microwave drawer.

At Manta Design-Build, we coordinate all behind-the-scenes infrastructure for our Short Hills kitchen remodels to ensure your new layout works exactly as it should. That may include rerouting plumbing for a relocated sink or dishwasher, updating outdated electrical panels to handle modern appliances, or installing custom lighting features that highlight architectural elements. Every step is performed by licensed professionals who prioritize code compliance, safety, and long-term reliability. We work these essential systems into the design process from day one, eliminating delays and ensuring your kitchen performs as beautifully as it looks—for years to come.
OUR process
The Manta Design-Build Difference
With years of hands-on experience transforming homes, Manta Design-Build has developed a streamlined process that removes the stress from renovation and remodeling. Our approach is rooted in organization, transparency, and thoughtful planning—ensuring your project stays on schedule, on budget, and aligned with your vision from day one. Every project we undertake follows five clearly defined phases, each designed to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, consistent communication, and a seamless experience from concept to completion.
01. PLANNING
The planning phase is where our collaboration begins. We take the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and vision—laying the foundation for a successful partnership. It’s also your opportunity to get to know us better. We invite you to explore our portfolio and read reviews from past clients to see how we approach each project with care and craftsmanship. If it feels like the right fit, we’ll move confidently into the design phase and start shaping your vision into reality.
02. DESIGN
During the design phase, we take detailed measurements and dive deeper into your goals and style preferences. From there, our team creates 3D renderings to help you visualize the layout and finishes. You’ll visit our showroom to explore and select materials—from countertops and tile to lighting and fixtures. Once your design is finalized, we move into the refine phase to get everything ready for construction.
03. IMPLEMENTATION
In the Implementation Phase, our construction team gets to work bringing your design to life with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. We handle everything from demolition and framing to installation and finishing touches, ensuring each step meets our high standards. Throughout the build, we maintain open communication, provide regular updates, and stay on schedule to minimize disruptions to your routine. Our goal is to deliver a smooth, stress-free experience—so you can enjoy the transformation without the headaches.
04. FINISHING TOUCHES
As we reach the final stage, we focus on the details that truly complete your space. Our team conducts a thorough quality check, fine-tunes every element, and ensures each finish meets our exacting standards. From adjusting hardware to perfecting caulk lines and touch-ups, no detail is overlooked. We’ll walk through the space with you to ensure everything meets your expectations, and only then do we consider the project complete. The result is a beautifully finished bathroom that feels polished, personal, and ready to enjoy.
05. ENJOYMENT
The final phase is all about stepping into your newly transformed space and fully enjoying the results. We’ll guide you through a comprehensive walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations and functions as intended. If anything needs adjusting, we’ll take care of it promptly. With everything complete, you can finally relax, unwind, and enjoy a bathroom that’s not only beautiful—but thoughtfully built for the way you live.
