A refreshing new experience.
We Make Kitchen and Bath Renovation Look Easy and Beautiful.
Good design and planning does not have to be expensive, but is crucial in creating the best results for a remodeling project.
At TrueLeaf Kitchens, we believe great design is about creating beautiful, functional spaces that improve the way people live. Our honest and consultative approach helps homeowners feel comfortable and confident throughout the remodeling process.
Today, TrueLeaf Kitchens proudly enters a new chapter under the ownership of Gustavo Araujo and Raquel Stein, continuing the trusted reputation built since 2011 by founders Jim and Eileen Barna. For over 15 years, TrueLeaf has designed kitchens and bathrooms throughout New Jersey with a focus on quality, creativity, and customer care.
Raquel Stein, owner of Raquel Stein Design, brings more than 15 years of interior design experience and several years of hands-on home remodeling expertise in New Jersey. Together, Gustavo and Raquel are committed to elevating the TrueLeaf experience by combining high-quality design with professional project execution.
TrueLeaf Kitchens is a complete one-stop-shop for kitchen and bathroom remodeling — guiding clients from design and material selection to construction and final installation.
