Kitchens
From first idea to final walkthrough.
Most remodels go sideways in the gaps — between the designer and the contractor, between the estimate and the selections, between what you pictured and what shows up on the truck.
Home by Tru Grit closes those gaps. Our design center and our construction crews are the same company, so the choices you make sitting at a sample table are the choices that get installed in your house.
What we build
Whole-house capability, one accountable team
From a single bath to a full addition, every project is planned, priced and built by people who talk to each other every day.
Kitchens
Layouts, cabinetry and finishes planned as one.
Bathrooms
Primary suites, hall baths and powder rooms.
Basements
Dry, warm, finished living space below grade.
Additions
Bump-outs, suites and layout reconfiguration.
Exterior Projects
Decks, porches, siding, trim and entries.
Flooring & Millwork
Hardwood, built-ins, trim and stair work.
The Design Center
See it, hold it, then decide.
Selections made on a screen rarely survive contact with a real room. Ours are made in person, in daylight, next to every other material going into your home.

- Countertops
- Tile & stone

Why Home by Tru Grit
Built on the boring things done right
Communication, sequencing and craftsmanship are what separate a good remodel from a long one.
One coordinated team
Design, estimating and field crews work under the same roof, so nothing gets lost between people.
Clear selections
Every finish is chosen in person and locked into the scope before construction starts.
Trusted local trades
Licensed plumbers, electricians and installers we have worked with for years — not the lowest bidder.
Organized communication
A written schedule, weekly updates and one point of contact who actually answers.
Workmanship that holds up
Flat floors, tight miters, correct waterproofing. The parts you cannot see matter most.
Honest estimates
Detailed scopes with real allowances, so the number you sign is the number you plan around.
Local to Monmouth County
We work where we live.
Our design studio is in Belford, and most of our projects are within thirty minutes of it. That means shorter drives, faster site visits and crews who know the townships, the inspectors and the older housing stock along the bayshore, the rivers and the western Monmouth corridors out to Freehold and Marlboro.
From the shore communities of Spring Lake and Sea Bright to the inland towns of Freehold, Marlboro and Wall, we build across Monmouth County. If you are not sure whether you are in our area, just ask.

Homeowners
What clients say
“We picked our cabinets, tile and counters in one afternoon at the design center. Having the crew who priced it be the crew who built it made the whole thing painless.”

“They found a plumbing issue during the site visit and put it in the estimate up front. The number we signed is the number we paid.”
