CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I recently used New Explode for a full kitchen and basement remodel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! The team was professional, detail-oriented, and always kept me informed throughout the project. The biggest benefit is that they were a one-stop-shop for all my needs. As a working mom, to a young four-year-old, I really didn’t have the time to spend calling the city, dealing with permitting, and sourcing different contractors. They did all of this for me, and I didn’t have to worry ever. I knew I was in good hands. And the end result? It has added thousands of retail value to my house. They transformed my kitchen into a modern, functional space where I can properly cook and host. And my basement now has such a fresh, inviting look. I came to them with a blank slate here, and their ideas, design vision, and encouragement that it could be all I wanted it to be and more – was motivating. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. I highly recommend New Explode Construction for anyone looking to remodel their home, or build one. I was referred to them by my friend who lives in Chicago who recently used them, and I’m so glad she gave me their information. They truly exceeded my expectations!Read More

Sebastian was professional, Enthusiastic, Patient and knowledgeable. After a lengthy process in selecting the land, work with an architect for getting the plans and then the bidding process on our new family home construction, we were so happy with ALL of the work Sebastian did for us. This was the first project of this nature, scale and intensity (but not our last). Sebastian was professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, patient and had an appreciation for the structural integrity of our project as well as the architectural aesthetics of the project. Sebastian and all of his sub-contractors were all professional, respectful, courteous, and diligent - this was very important to me and my husband and son. If you had a question about something, they would speak to you about it. We also used Sebastian's recommendation for a kitchen designer at Studio 41, and the work we did together made for a beautiful kitchen! Sebastian was always available to answer any questions we had, explain a process that we weren't sure about, and ease our way through the process. We are highly recommending him and his company, New Explode Construction, to anyone interested in building a home, renovating or rehabbing a building (we are currently working on a gut rehab with them) , building a new kitchen or adding a new addition, etc.. It was a great collaboration, and we are extremely happy with the results. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Lidia MoldovanRead More

Though building a home is always a bit trying and complicated, working with Sebastian, Daniel and the talented crew of New Explode Construction has made it a creative and rewarding experience. My husband and I hired New Explode in 2018 after the purchase of a lot in Chicago. We planned to build a new, high-efficiency, eco-conscious, Net Zero home from the ground up. We had the pleasure of working closely with Sebastian and his crew for two years. He handled every “hiccup” (there will always be hiccups!) with grace, calm and thoughtfulness. Our project was managed carefully through this year’s Covid-19 pandemic, with Sebastian taking care to be aware of his crew’s needs while balancing the timely completion of the project. So much extra coordination was required on his part and I deeply appreciate the extra time and energy that took. He has been incredibly upstanding, honest and kind through this entire process. He truly wants you to love the home in the end and cares about the details of the project. It is hard to condense two years of intense collaboration into a review! If we had to do it all again, we would happily and confidently choose to work with everyone at New Explode Constuction.Read More
