Cabinet IQ of Bridgewater

02/09/2026

Grateful to BNI Playmakers - Scotch Plains, NJs for the opportunity to be the featured speaker this week.

I really enjoyed sharing more about Cabinet IQ of Bridgewater, how we help homeowners and trade partners with cabinetry, countertops, design support, and installation coordination, and how important good communication and planning are throughout a kitchen or bath project.

I’m also very appreciative to be part of a group that genuinely looks for ways to support one another and help each other grow.

Thank you to everyone at BNI Playmakers for the support.

This weeks presentation at BNI had Michael Bruno from Cabinet IQ. Cabinet IQ of Bridgewater helps homeowners transform kitchens with thoughtful design, quality cabinetry, countertops and coordinated installation. Michael and Jennifer Bruno guide clients through the entire process—from layout and material selection to the finished project—making remodeling more organized and less overwhelming.

Another showroom milestone! ✨

Fantasy Brown is officially installed on another one of our kitchen displays, and we love how it’s coming together with the mix of natural wood and green cabinetry.

Still a few finishing touches to go…

To be continued. 👀

One of the first questions homeowners ask when planning a kitchen remodel is, “What is this going to cost?”

It is a fair question, but kitchen pricing can vary a lot depending on what is included. Cabinetry, countertops, layout, storage, installation coordination, and even small design decisions can all affect the final investment.

The goal is not always to choose the cheapest option or the most expensive option. The goal is to make smart decisions for your home, your budget, and the way your kitchen needs to function every day.

I shared a few practical things homeowners should understand before comparing kitchen remodel quotes in my latest Bridgewater & Somerset Hills City Lifestyle article.

Another exciting milestone!

Our first countertops have officially been installed in our new showroom, and it’s incredible to finally see everything beginning to come together.

There’s still plenty to do before our Grand Opening, but every step gets us a little closer. I’m excited to continue sharing the progress and can’t wait to welcome everyone into the finished showroom.

Stay tuned for more updates!

For more than 25 years, I built my career in corporate finance. A few years ago, I took a leap into business ownership.

Recently, I had the pleasure of joining Ali Jamar Taylor and Frank Maiorana on the Scaling Smarter podcast to share that journey, from the corporate world to owning Cabinet IQ of Bridgewater.

We talked about leadership, entrepreneurship, networking, sales, and the lessons I’ve learned (and unlearned) along the way.

Thank you, Ali and Frank, for the invitation and a great conversation.

If you’ve ever considered starting a business, buying a franchise, or making a career change, I hope you’ll find something valuable in our discussion.

The cheapest kitchen is rarely the best value.

I recently wrote an article for Bridgewater & Somerset Hills City Lifestyle on why smart kitchen decisions are about more than just the lowest price. The best value usually comes from thoughtful planning, strong design, and choosing the right products for how you live.

If you’re planning a remodel, I hope this gives you a helpful perspective.

Homeowners are more cost-conscious than ever, and understandably so. Between the rising cost of living, higher material costs, and the overall investment required to remodel a home, it is natural to look closely at every number.

This kitchen is starting to take shape.

Here is a look at where we started and how the space is already coming together. From the early stages through cabinetry installation, it is always exciting to see the vision begin to come to life.

We’re looking forward to sharing the finished result soon.

Proud to be part of the project team with NJ Home Restoration

Nothing means more to us than hearing directly from a happy client.

We recently received a 5-star Google review that truly meant a lot to us. One of the lines that stood out most was:

“If I could give Michael Bruno and Jeovany Marquez 10 stars I would.”

We are incredibly grateful to Denise and Steve Hoffmann for their trust throughout the process. Reviews like this remind us why we do what we do. Beautiful kitchens matter, but so do guidance, responsiveness, professionalism, and making the renovation process feel manageable.

If you are planning a kitchen remodel and want a team that combines thoughtful design with a high-touch client experience, we would love to connect.

If you have worked with us and enjoyed your experience, we would also be very grateful if you left us a Google review.
