New Market Design + Build

Highly recommend! If you are thinking about a renovation project, do not hesitate to reach out to New Market. The people are great and their work is top notch. They completely redesigned the first floor of our house so we can age in place in a beautiful home. The bathroom was even featured on houzz!

New Market was lovely to work with at every step of the way. Between staying on time and on budget, keeping my house and yard clean, communicating every day about progress and challenges, proactively coming up with solutions for unexpected events, and just being incredibly conscientious people all around- I whole heartedly recommend them. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get Tom as your site manager. He’s the best.

Our home was built in the 1860s, so we knew renovating it would come with plenty of challenges. We originally hired New Market Builders after a cracked pipe forced us to gut a second-floor bathroom. After seeing Lauren, Michael, and the team's work, we asked them to redesign and renovate our entire first floor, including our kitchen. As expected with an old home, we ran into plenty of unexpected challenges along the way. What stood out was how the team handled them. They never looked for the easiest solution or cut corners. They worked through every issue with us and stayed focused on getting the end result right. Lauren has an incredible eye for design and found creative ways to make our home more functional without sacrificing the character that made us love it in the first place. Renovating a 150+ year-old home isn't easy, but having the right team makes all the difference. We couldn't be happier with the finished result and would recommend New Market Builders without hesitation.

I love working with New Market Design and Build, they are a highly professional outfit with top tier quality results. Offering a personal touch experience from their designers down through their carpenters.

We met with more than a dozen contractors—designers, builders, and design-build firms—and New Market stood out from the very first conversation. Their professionalism, communication, and overall process are truly in a league of their own. Working with them couldn’t have been easier or more enjoyable. Throughout the many (many!) design iterations we explored, the team was consistently thoughtful, collaborative, and full of smart ideas. They never rushed us, never got frustrated, and always approached each new twist with curiosity and care. It felt like a true partnership, not a vendor relationship. Beyond their creative and technical talent, what really sets New Market apart is how much they genuinely care about the people they work with. They’re kind, responsive, and deeply committed to ensuring the outcome works for you, not just what looks good in a portfolio. We truly can’t recommend them highly enough. Whether you’re planning a single-room renovation or a major addition, they should be at the very top of your shortlist.

We have been clients and fans of New Market Design+Build for several years. We have worked with them on 4 projects, the 1st being their design and remodel of our dream cook’s kitchen, the 2nd project was redoing our front of the house bump out, third was a remodel of our family room and the last project (so far) replacement of a skylight. All these projects were wonderfully conceived, and the buildouts were beautiful. Anyone who has worked with New Market knows that the heart and soul of New Market are the co-owners, Lauren and Michael. Lauren is a brilliant designer who can see multiple possible ways of redesigning or building out a space. Her insight and creativity are remarkable. Her design suggestions for our kitchen and family room made the rooms not just more beautiful but also more useful in permitting better traffic flow and easier access to various features used in these rooms. Lauren goes the extra mile to help clients as reflected by her sitting for hours with Joan-Marie to select individual tiles from several boxes of seeming the same, but slightly different tiles, that would match well for the backsplash for the kitchen counter. Michael can build anything… he loves the challenge of difficult seemingly impossible tasks. He might describe himself as a carpenter, but I think of him as an engineer, like other engineers I know, he sees the problem and solves it. He has a group of carpenters who work with him whose attention to detail is amazing (particularly Tom). The built ins that went into our family room were so beautiful, we asked two of the carpenters to sign their work as recognition of their efforts. One example of this was the abutment of a wooden bench to a stone wall where the 3 dimensionality of the Wissahickon schist stones was complimented in the wood edge making for a beautiful marrying of stone and wood. Joan-Marie and I think of architecture as art, and with this in mind, New Market has provided us with living and useful works of art in their remodeling of our home. You can trust Lauren and Michael to do their best to ensure that your remodel meets and exceeds your expectations. -- Joan-Marie and Jim

Samantha and the team at New Market have been exceptional partners on multiple renovations. Their straight forward communication style makes it easy to make sure no stone goes unturned. Their attention to detail in their design process is other-worldly and I simply love their modern take when selecting finishes. I cannot recommend New Market enough for a home remodeling project.

We worked with New Market Design + Build on a whole-house renovation and we couldn't be happier! They are professional, detail-oriented, and available for questions any time. Every person on staff, including sub-contractors, was kind and helpful. I can't recommend them highly enough!

We were intimidated to take on a major house renovation. It seemed so hard to manage and make so many decisions. Thankfully New Market Builders was the perfect partner. They held our hands all the way through, listened to what we wanted and needed, and delivered absolutely beautiful work. I know I will love our new kitchen and bathroom just as much in ten or fifteen years as I do today. Added to that, they made living in our house during the reno possible, went above and beyond to help solve various problems that cropped up along the way, and their staff are so talented, kind, respectful, and helpful. Tom, we miss you. Michael, Lauren, Erin, Som, and the whole team, thank you so so much.

I have had a great experience with New Market Builders. Everyone here is efficient and professional. Highly recommend!
