 "Creativity and Expertise...Together" The Artisans Group is a full-service remodeler that specializes in older buildings (from the late 1700's), repairing structural and bug & water damage. We particularly love "out-of-the-box", custom work. Yes, we are "green", but see what this means to us...Workshop, Fairleigh Dickinson Univ. Presentation. You will find our projects to be well-managed, and since we do our best to remain on top of NJ building codes, we excel in earning white "pass" stickers from building inspectors. Our work is presently about 90% residential. The Artisans Group is based a core staff and a loose cooperative of talented craftspeople and professionals who regularly collaborate and work together. We can involve the right people to successfully complete your project as close to budget as humanly possible, aesthetically, and according, or ideally better than is required by building code. The company is led by Wayne Baruch, skilled and accomplished designer, craftsman, and project manager with a long track record of successful on-time, on-budget completion that achieves win-win client and vendor relationships.
