**★★★★★ — Robert Laragh, Dec. 2016**

> New Concept 180 did a great job for us on a kitchen/family room remodel project. The work was high quality, they were on-schedule and responsive, and all of their employees were personable and nice. We recommend them highly.

**★★★★★ — Nancy Harrity, Dec. 2016**

> We hired Gideon to transform our 1950s house into our dream home. He is honest, hard working, creative & patient. When he uncovered obstacles, he explained them to us thoroughly so we could understand, and proposed solutions. His workers were phenomenal. We fully trusted him and the finished product is stunning.
>
> New electrical, plumbing, kitchen, fireplace, flooring, bathrooms, basement, laundry room, doors, paint, roof, siding. We had a small second story addition put on to add a master suite and vaulted the ceiling in our family room.
>
> We would highly recommend Gideon and his team to do any reno no matter how small or large. Their work was impeccable and every day we pinch ourselves because we cannot believe we live in such a beautiful space. He customized the look we were after. He is a reno lifesaver and we couldn't be happier.

**★★★★★ — MILIEU, Feb. 2015**

> New Concept 180 provides some of the most innovative services, and best finishing work we have come across in the industry. They are amazing with their installations, and as a bonus, offer a home care service after everything is complete so the home owners can live maintenance worry free. We've enjoyed working with Gideon on numerous projects and would work with him again any time. New Concept 180

**★★★★★ — ksps2324, April 2013**

> I am a repeat customer of New Concept 180.  They have done of projects for me and I think the quality of the employees and the quality of their work is outstanding.  Whether they are painting, or wallpapering they are incredibly careful in my home with their work products and careful to protect my carpeting and furniture.  They are always on time, trustworthy and respectful of my family if we are at home while they are there working. However, the biggest reason I work with Gideon and New Concept 180 is because of the quality of their work.  It is consistently excellent each and every time.

**★★★★★ — carlachicago1, March 2013**

> I highly recommend Gideon and New Concept. I have hired them twice for 2 bathrooms and then a kitchen rehab.  They are professional, fair, honest, timely and the workmanship was of the highest quality.

**★★★★★ — Lisa Holzman Bemoras, March 2013**

> Concept 180 is a very reliable, creative, clean service that has completed multiple projects for myself, friends and family. Their ability to make people's visions come to life in a cost efficient manner is something that should not be overlooked. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any size job.

**★★★★★ — jordanallen, March 2013**

> New Concept 180 has done extensive painting, wallpapering and general repairs for me over the past 5 years. The work they do is the highest quality.The workmen are professional, honest and clean. No job is too big or too small. Most recently, they assisted in preparing my house for floor refinishing. After the work was completed there was not a speck of dust to be found.

**★★★★★ — sglikin1, March 2013**

> Gideon and his team have done extensive work in our home. From wallpapering to building cabinetry to building a gorgeous media room and rec room! I don't think we have a room in our house that they didn't work on! They are fantastic! They work is always done to the highest standards. They are a pleasure to work with!
