At New England Design & Construction, we can build just about anything. But there’s one thing we build which we value most: a sound relationship with you based on honesty and integrity, which is of far greater importance than our projects themselves. Our designers create beautiful masterpieces, but if they’re beyond your budget, do they really benefit you? Our builders attend to every detail, but if they run behind schedule and submit frequent change orders, will you truly be satisfied? What matters most when you look for someone to design and build your new home or remodel your existing one is trust – trust that your designer will stay within your budget and remain on schedule, provide knowledgeable suggestions and deliver what you need and want.
