Customer Testimonials

 
 

We originally gave NMDB some ideas for what we would like in a vanity for the hall bathroom. They found one that we loved, but it ended up being too deep for the space, which would have necessitated moving the doorway to the hall further down. NMDB told us that they could build a custom made vanity to fit the space. Knowing the high quality of woodwork from NMDB on our previous project, we agreed. We couldn’t be happier with the result! It is so beautiful and a much higher quality piece than the standard one that we had picked out, thanks to Tom’s expert craftsmanship. Thank you for coming up with such a great solution!

NMDB is a family-owned business that brings both the skillset and an appreciation to local architectural detail to each project that they do. They bring a great combination of doing great work, while bringing out the most important and unique aspects of a home. This results in a successful home project, while appreciating the aesthetic and style that each individual neighborhood or community has to offer.

Honesty. Creativity. Attention to Detail. These three elements are what have made NMDB our choice whenever we have a home project to undertake. They bring an incredible balance of the most unique and subtle touches to a home, while doing it with the budgetary and time constraints that you need to work within.

From the very beginning we recognized that NMDB would be the company to execute our vision for our home. In addition to our project, Michael and his team were instrumental in uncovering ongoing problems in our house and fixing them correctly.

At every turn they put our interests first, which allowed us to trust them completely. In our exchanges we were treated as if we were their only clients - always available and prompt to respond. The entire design/build process was handled with utmost professionalism. Their attention to detail was only surpassed by their skills in all trades. The custom built-ins and millwork are superb. We highly recommend NMDB to anyone looking for the best in design/build.

New Market Design Build consistently delivers an outstanding finished project while providing a clear sense of vision and communication from start to finish. They designed and executed my master bedroom/bathroom renovation and far exceeded my expectations. It is by far my favorite room in my home! I appreciated their guidance when I felt overwhelmed by too many choices and that they were also able to work within my budget.

Lauren has terrific taste and listens when you tell her what you want. Michael and his crew are talented builders who pay attention to every detail. As a top real estate agent in the Philadelphia area, I take my recommendations to friends and clients VERY seriously, and I have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend NMDB to anyone who asks!

What I appreciate most working with New Market Design Build is the trust and partnership we have developed over the years. I like that they listen to us, provide us options and approach the work as if it is their own house. Renovations are inherently stressful; the peace of mind working with New Market Design Build provides allows Andy and I to keep our sanity.

What makes New Market Design Build standout is the quality of the work and the partnership. If something comes up with the house unexpectedly (like the water leak in the basement) or during a renovation (brick patio), I feel confident New Market Design Build will know what to do and help us make the right decision.

We have appreciated working with NMDB from the beginning design work to the completion of our project. Working with Lauren was different from other designers in the past. Lauren truly listened to what we wanted to accomplish and created a design that exceeded our expectations. Her attention to not only design but also to function was welcome. Having the input of Michael, who oversees the construction aspect, during the design process was helpful as well, as he offered his own insights about what can work best in the field. Lauren’s expertise and guidance while choosing finishes was invaluable and with her help we were able to achieve the design feel we were looking for.

Michael’s attention to detail, ability to problem solve and integrity in doing things the right way were welcome once construction began and we encountered some unexpected issues. During the project our needs as homeowners were met and we were consulted throughout, and Lauren continued to be a presence to ensure the best execution of her design. We truly feel they made what can be an unpleasant experience tolerable. All of the workers were pleasant, which is important when people are in your home for an extended period of time.

I would recommend working with NMDB, they truly want what is best for the client and not easiest for them, they execute excellent work with integrity and communicate any issues that come along. The combination of Lauren’s and Michael’s expertise makes the often daunting process of home renovation more manageable.

After deciding to do a major remodel on our 14 year old home, we went searching for a local firm that could provide both design and build services. We met with several design and build firms, but after meeting with Lauren and Mike, selecting New Market Design Build was an easy decision - they just seemed to understand what we wanted and we could see from their portfolio that they had the skills to pull it off. They managed to convert a long wish-list into thoughtful and effective designs that solved countless space and usability problems that we had struggled with for years. Between the experienced lead carpenter and the use of a project web portal, day-to-day communication was great. We also can't speak highly enough about the craftsmanship, choice of materials, and the attention to detail. In the end, we have a wonderful new space that makes us happy every time we come home. We will be using New Market Design Build for any new projects we have!

From our first meeting through the completion of our project, New Market Design Build was a pleasure to work with. They were able to take our vision, wants, and needs of the space and transform it into our dream kitchen. We appreciated the clear communication and collaborative approach of the entire team. 

Lauren and Saime’s creative approach to design (especially when faced with the unexpected inside of walls) and the rest of the team’s attention to detail and craftsmanship truly set NMDB apart. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and are looking forward for our next home project.

Working with New Market Design Build to design and build our new kitchen was a wonderful experience. We were guided to New Market Design Build by some close friends who had used them to remodel their kitchen as well as other areas of their home. We got started by meeting with Lauren who is the interior designer. She is very creative with a fantastic aesthetic who listened to us, anticipated our needs and consequently was able to re-envision the existing space in ways that we never imagined resulting in our dream kitchen. Her plans opened up the kitchen and butler’s pantry giving us more work and storage space. Michael is the general contractor and master craftsman who pays attention to even the smallest of details. Unforeseen problems always arise when remodeling an older home but Michael approached these as opportunities to make the remodel better. He can solve any construction problem. Michael has a good group of carpenters as well as subcontractors who enjoy working with him while Lauren has her design staff, including Saime, who are knowledgeable and helpful. There are many decisions to make with a big remodel and we felt comfortable seeking Lauren and Michael’s advice. Indeed, their suggestions for light fixtures, light placement, electrical outlet placement and appliance positioning made for a more functional and beautiful kitchen. As this remodel occurred during the pandemic there were supply chain issues in particular with the cabinets, which delayed the completion of the job for a few months. During this frustrating time, Michael and Lauren stayed on top of the cabinetry issue, kept us informed of what was happening and even went to the extreme of offering to put in a temporary cabinet and sink as well as other amenities to make life without a kitchen more bearable. Not only did we appreciate their creativity and work-ethic, but also their understanding and kindness. Like our friends who referred us, we look forward to working with New Market Design Build on future home remodeling projects.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Market Design Build for our kitchen renovation. They were able to navigate a full kitchen renovation in the urban environment of Philadelphia amidst the challenges of the Pandemic. They helped address unforeseen obstacles and were consummate professionals throughout the process. We are planning on working with New Market Design Build again with exterior work on our home. We highly recommend their team.

New Market Design Build is a wonderful company led by the dynamic duo husband and wife team. They completed a wonderful master bath renovation for us and we are now embarking on a major kitchen renovation/addition. As a real estate agent, I have connections with a variety of skilled contractors, and for my own home I trust no one more than New Market Design Build. They put their heart and soul and talents into the work they do in order to deliver not only the highest quality finished product but also the highest quality experience. Renovations can be stressful and knowing we are in such capable and caring hands make it a lot easier! Thank you Mike and Lauren!

I have used New Market Design Build for over 15yrs for my home. They are responsive, professional, and provide exceptional attention to detail. I have seen seen cheaper options but never once regretted choosing NMDB because they treat my home like their own. They will offer less expensive options when asked but will explain why spending the extra money now will save later - and they have always been right. I trust them implicitly.

Chick- Philadelphia, PA

We used New Market Design Build for an extensive two level addition which included a new Kitchen and Master Bathroom and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Michael runs his business with integrity, honesty, accountability and frankly, is a flat out superb craftsman. We were lucky to have NMDB for this project and look forward to using them in the future.
