or four years, Allan and Nita Cohen searched for someone to
I remodel the upstairs bath of their bungalow home, which
consisted of inefficient space that was completely open to the
master bedroom. "It was very much an '80s bathroom, and it had
some decay, but no one seemed to be able to get their head
around our project," Allan explained, noting that water damage is
what pushed them to finally "bite the bullet."

"After visiting various kitchen and bath remodeling stores, we
ended up hiring some interior designers to come up with space
plans and assist with the details. We committed to one of them —
not loving it — but decided to have it bid."

The Cohens chose Gittleman to be one of the parties to quote the
design plan. "It was then that Scott told us he thought we could
do much more with the space, so they drew up a new plan and it
ended up being far better than the plans we got from anyone
else," Allan explained.

Gittleman designed a bathroom for the Cohens that was just what they envisioned, and included a large shower, a
jet tub, a nine-foot dual sink countertop, custom designed cabinets and a custom designed medicine cabinet to fit
in the corner niche of the room. Plus, they now also enjoy an adjacent sitting area.

"Gittleman really utilized the space — we're just so thrilled. They took the initiative to give us what the others
didn't," Nita explained, noting that even their two children are enjoying the renovations. "They love the huge
shower with bench and the huge tub. They take bubble baths and watch TV."

The Cohens were also pleased that the renovations didn't interfere with their everyday lives. "It wasn't an
inconvenience at all. They put up a screen and contained the dust and nails so that we could still sleep in our
bedroom," Nita said.

"I didn't realize that we should have called Gittleman in the first place...we would've been a lot happier a lot
sooner," Allan said.

Let's talk
business.

So the next time you're faced with a remodeling dilemma, stop searching in all the wrong places and call the people
who can handle the design and build and everything in between all under one umbrella. Call Gittleman first.

JUST ASK THE COHENS.
