New & Custom Home Builders Near Oak Lawn

“We recently had the pleasure of working with New Explode Construction, and we can’t recommend them enough. Sebastian and Radu led the renovation of our kitchen, created a beautiful new laundry room, and completely transformed several bathrooms. Their craftsmanship was top-notch, and they coordinated seamlessly with other third parties to bring everything together perfectly. Sebastian and Radu were also incredibly responsive, always quick to reply to texts or calls whenever anything came up. We’ll definitely work with New Explode Construction for any future home renovations, large or small”

“My project with D1 recently ended and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Everyone I worked with from Brian in design to Mabel in architecture and to Linda in architecture design to Peter my project manager, were extremely helpful with the design process, easy to work with, and patient with me. Their Builder Trend site makes it so easy to do everything and communicate with the team. I did a first floor remodel and after interviewing many firms, I chose Design First because they thought out of the box and reconfigured my kitchen in a space I never before considered while also taking into consideration design elements I wanted to incorporate. I credit the wonderful experience I had to my project manager Peter. He is first class. Not only was this my first remodel but I’m also a first time homeowner and Peter answered every question I had, was patient when I changed my mind on windows or wanted to see other options for range hoods, and he provided great recommendations for tuck pointing that were out of the scope of our assigned project. During the demo and construction stages I was out of the country twice and Peter was always available to talk, he sent me photos and messages of the work in process to make sure I knew and was happy with what was going on. It was a relief to have this constant communication because I was able to change the shape of am arched doorway while abroad which I love. When problems or hiccups arose, as they will, Peter was straightforward, responsive, and got things done. When my range hood was blemished, Peter and Keith were the first to say it’s need to be redone and were just as unhappy as I was. Knowing that they expected the same outcome I did showed me they cared about the quality of the finished project as much as I did. Peter also took care of minor cosmetic touches and walked me through some system maintenance issues. Peter is great to work with because he is responsive, direct, friendly and easy to work with. I trust Peter and have already recommended him to a good friend. When I decide to tackle other projects I will contact D1 and Peter. Thanks so much!”

“Bart is an excellent communicator, employs true craftsmen and stands behind his word. He personally came out to quote my job and stuck to the quote he gave me. He estimated the start date to be the "end of January/beginning of February"; they started the project on Jan 31st. He predicted the project to last 3-4 months and finished on time in mid-May. He was spot on with the allowances he gave me in his quote (cabinets/counters/etc.); he is knowledgeable and professional. When a decision needed to be made about a change to the plan (this will happen in any project, expect it), Bart personally met me on sight to explain the problem and go over the options. He was able to accommodate my "add ons" (also part of the process). His crew is made up of "craftsmen" who did the job right the first time, delivering me a kitchen that is better than I imagined. Thank you Derek, Henry and Alex for taking such good care of my home, I appreciate your expertise and attention to detail. I found all the subcontractors used (architect, floor refinishing, electrician, plumber) equally professional and reliable. This was a big project for me and something I've never done before, Bart and Alex guided me through it and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will be using Bart's Remodeling & Construction on my next project and I highly recommend them for yours. So happy with the results, Laura Duffy”
