From the early planning stages to the finishing touches they went above and beyond. The contruction team was skilled, trustworthy and very tidy! Laurie has a naturally creative design eye combined with integrity and professionalism. While attentive to my concerns, she and her team managed to guide the design and decor direction to completion despite the challenges posed in sourcing materials during the pandemic. The kitchen/family room reno result was even better than I had envisioned. I will definitely work with NVD again! **Comment from New View Designs by Laurie Cole Inc.:** > Thank you for your review! It was pleasure to work with such a wonderful client! **★★★★★ — Danielle Kershaw, Dec. 2018** > We hired Laurie and her team for a complete house renovation that they finished earlier this year. They redesigned our home that had not been touched since the 1970's. Laurie quickly learning our preferences, and gave us a modern design that still feels warm, homey, and kid friendly. We highly recommend Laurie and her team! **★★★★★ — Kathy Randall, Dec. 2018** > Recently widowed, I sold my lifelong home and purchased a smaller one in a good location close to friends. Once I moved in I realized it was not what I imagined and in dire need of work. On the advice of a friend I contacted New View Designs and engaged them to do a full house renovation. They were able to offer me full design services along with the construction work which was invaluable since I did not know where to start. After a few initial meetings, the Design team redesigned my main living area, along with my master bedroom and main bathroom. The basement was also completely transformed along with major work on the exterior including New siding, roof, storage shed and an expanded deck. The Build team were great, and the work was done with quality and integrity. They found a major issue that should have been discovered upon inspection when the house was purchased, potentially saving me thousands of dollars and heartache. They were very accommodating and helpful in every aspect and although it was a difficult time in my life, they made the process easier. I will especially miss the guys on the build team, I enjoyed having them around. **Comment from New View Designs by Laurie Cole Inc.:** > Kathy it was a pleasure to help make this house a home for you. You were great to work with the and our team felt very welcome and appreciated by you. **★★★★★ — Tianchen Liu, Dec. 2018** > Great job done to my office building lobby, replaced floor, ceiling, painted wall and wood trims. fair price, efficient and quality works. **Comment from New View Designs by Laurie Cole Inc.:** > Thanks so much for your review! We enjoyed working with you on your project. **★★★★★ — XINSHENG LIU, Nov. 2018** > We had a great experience with our home construction from beginning to end. The New View Designs construction was on time and diligent. we was most impressed with their commitment to customer service while quickly delivering a quality product on budget. I personally work as a professional engineer specializing in construction and know that the project is challenging in the winter. New View Designs was honest working with us on solutions to keep our budget in check. Overall I enjoyed their professional attitude and would work with them again. **Comment from New View Designs by Laurie Cole Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your review. We really enjoyed working with you and appreciate the trust you put in us. We hope your enjoy your home for many years to come. **★★★★ — Sara Stevenson, Dec. 2017** > New View Designs did a complete update on our living room / dining room. Laurie had come highly recommended from friends and she did not disappoint. We were having MUCH trouble figuring out how to make a dull and drab space better reflect our family and our style. Laurie helped us to completely transform the space while still making it feel it had "us" written all over it. The New View Designs team is highly knowledgable and knows just how to help turn a house into a home. Also, the Modern Komfort furniture line is beautiful, stylish and homey. So pleased. **★★★★★ — Charlotte Davidson, Dec. 2017** > We hired New View Designs to stage our house in hopes of a quick sell, and they delivered! Our house sold within two weeks of being on the market, at close to our asking price. I highly recommend New View Designs staging services. **★★★★★ — dawne\_chedore, Dec. 2017** > New View was hired by our Realtor to come in for a staging consultation. Most of the recommendations were followed and our house sold extremely quickly! Would absolutely recommend their services! **★★★★★ — Justin Morehouse, Dec. 2017** > After being on the market with other agents for a year, and myself personally having the property listed for another 8 months with few showings, I was able to convince my client to take the time to sit down and have a staging consult with Laurie and Mike from New View Designs. They talked and brainstormed about how we could move this property quicker. They made some suggestions on painting and new light fixtures in key areas, as well as talked about the benefits of staging a vacant property. Less than a week later the vendor had her part done with new lights and painting, and the NVD team had the property staged and ready to show. > > I must say what a huge difference this all made! As two months later we had an offer on the property. Not to mention all the showing requests we then had after. Along with the comments on how people didn't even want to look at the house as the pictures with the dark paint always turned them off. As simple as paining is, people couldn't vision it differently. > > When selling your home, first impressions are everything. As a Real Estate professional, I know that potential buyers will decide if they like the home within the first 15 seconds of being there. Simple things such as paint can mean the difference in a sale of your home or not. > > Vacant properties are even harder for potential buyers as they can't really see the potential for them living there. It feels empty and more like a house not a HOME. > > Does staging work? Is staging worth the money? YES! It is a big investment but worth EVERY penny! Think of how much time it will save you from your home sitting on the market! Time is Money, Less time on the market, the more money in your pocket. > > New View Designs by Laurie Cole always comes HIGHLY recommended from me now when listing any property. Whether it be just a Re-sale consultation or a staging consultation, First impressions are everything, and you are sure to be impressed with the work of Laurie, Mike, Stef and the entire New View Designs Team. > > Justin Morehouse - Exit Realty Advantage **★★★★★ — April Wellings, Nov. 2017** > Selling a house is a difficult thing especially when your doing it for the first time and I knew I needed help with getting my home ready for the sale in a tough market. Realizing Professional Staging services was the only way to ensure my house was properly staged, I contacted Laurie and she started helping right away by recommending essential updates to keys rooms, new wall colors, lighting, decluttering and reorganizing. She provided guidance throughout the entire process right up until she and her team came into stage, creating an up to date look that accentuated the best parts of my home. This resulted in an offer only 2 weeks on the market and I know staging my home helped sell it a lot faster! > > Thank you Laurie and your Team for all your help!! **★★★★★ — Hilary Cartwright, June 2017** > A single gal can be a little terrified of doing a home renovation on her own. Absolutely no need to fear a thing with Laurie, Tim, Stef, and company. A dream to work with, and I'm excited to plan with them for my next project. Came in on budget and finished a week earlier than expected. Kept me up to date, listened to my ideas, and gave me a kitchen I'm so happy to work in. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else and have only the best things to say about this NVD! Thanks so much!!! **Comment from New View Designs by Laurie Cole Inc.:** > Hilary you were fabulous to work with, and We LOVED working on your kitchen. We are super happy with the results as well and can't wait to work with you on your next project. **★★★★★ — nfhelen, Dec. 2016** > New View Designs completed a full renovation of our mudroom, laundry room and half bathroom in 2016, and we are beyond thrilled with the finished project! The original room was dated, cramped and not functional. With Laurie's design vision, New View Designs was able to completely transform the space into a functional and modern space that works perfectly for our family and we absolutely love. Even more impressive was that the project came in within budget, yet it completely exceeded our expectations. Thank you NVD, we look forward to working with you again. **Comment from New View Designs by Laurie Cole Inc.:** > Truly a pleasure working with you and your family! It was a great collaboration and we look forward to the next project. ## Selected projects - [Ravine Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ravine-retreat-pj-vj~6103312) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 56 - [Mid-Century Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-farm-pj-vj~6087704) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 42 - [East Coast Coastal (B&A)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-coast-coastal-banda-pj-vj~5684007) - Location: Fredericton, NB - Photos: 10 - [Traditional Cultured Mix](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-cultured-mix-pj-vj~5683669) - Location: Fredericton, NB - Photos: 27 - Description: Minimal, classic elegance defines this 2,550 sq. ft. two-story family home.
