Since we've gone through a separate renovation where we managed the work (i.e. design was separated from the contractor and subs, etc), it was really tough to manage, so having the experience from design to budgeting to the start of the build process with NEDC has been so smooth. We understand there's surprises or changes, etc., and so all of that has been managed really well.

Mission Statement

Mission Statement - My parents multifamily house (my childhood house) was outdated and had not been repaired in far too long, NEDC made our vision of recreating the home into 2 spaces that fit both my young family and aging parents' needs a reality. We will forever be grateful for that and hope that it gets to stay in the family for generations to come.

Thank YOU GRADY and NEDC (particularly Gustavo and Gary!) for working with me on my kitchen. I am very happy with how everything turned out, and I enjoy cooking and just being in the kitchen so much more. It is much more functional than the way it was before, and I think it looks great too. The light from the sliding glass door is wonderful, and I can’t wait for the weather to warm up a bit so that I can effortlessly make my way out to the patio through the kitchen rather than going through 3 different doors to get there. I think that we’ve achieved the best outcome for the space and I would work with you and NEDC to create it without a moment’s hesitation.

Overall we had a great experience with New England Design and Construction.

When he realized that the day laborers hadn't finished the job, he came and finished digging out footings himself. He was always making sure the job site was cleaned up and ready for the next thing...and the inspectors! We can't say enough about how he held our hands through the whole process and worked with us on solutions to the many problems that arose. Even when his attention was clearly divided among multiple projects.

The warranty program is exceptional. It is clear that NEDC stands by their work and that the customer means everything to them. They work hard to build and sustain these relationships by being responsive to our needs and questions. This goes well beyond what our past experiences have been with other builders. Javier has been refreshingly honest, committed to following through, attentive and clearly has a great solid knowledge base when it comes to the work. We have nothing but confidence in the quality of the build because of this.

We also want to say thank you to Ann and Diana who worked really hard to make this space work for our family. We are grateful for the views, a proper place to put our shoes, spaces for progress report writing and jump roping which are not on top of each other, and the ability to just relax together as a family. Thank you!

NEDC has been nothing short of perfect in its service, understanding our needs, and working with us to make our vision a reality. While our actual construction is just starting, NEDC has been there every step of the way and continue to show us the excellent level of service as they did when we started.
