I have known Shawn for at least 10 years through a peer group as part of the National Association of Home Builders. New Spaces offers amazing design solutions and customer service second to none. His family and as well as their business has been dedicated to top notch remodeling for decades. Great company.

Worst experience ever. Extremely unorganized. Very messy. Had to stay on top of the project myself every step of the way. Sales person was unfamiliar with construction practices. Had to change designer as the first one did not listen to our wishes and her plan did not even make sense in maximizing space. Once construction began the framer came out and built a wall with a hammer and nails.
No nail gun. Really! On top of that it was not even part of the plan we signed off on. It was from the plan of the original designer. It ended up having to be ripped out. The framer was so discussed he didn't come back for several days. Just one example of silliness that went on was I watched 3 grown men take practically all day to hang three set of curtains on a traverse rod.
They couldn't figure out how to make it work. Trim carpenters used huge nails which really stood out since we chose a dark stain. At the end of the job we were invoiced more than the contract with no change orders and no agreements even verbally. They were not cheap either. The owner will not step foot on the projects. He leaves it up to the field supervisor. The field supervisors were the only ones that kind of knew what they were doing.

We worked with them recently on a kitchen remodel but had to part ways after paying for their design. They claim they do things differently than other contractors and I would agree but not in a favorable way. Unlike others who will provide a more detailed bid up front and even basic designs, they will only provide a vague bid with promises that they can work within your specified budget.
To get to the next phase with a more detailed scope of work you will pay a large design fee. In our case, they created three designs that were 20-40% over our specified budget. They shouldn't have agreed to proceed with design if there was no way the owner would work within our specified budget. Their work is beautiful if you can afford it but their business practices could use some work. I can't imagine paying the kind of money they were asking after the dishonesty in their initial processes.

Their show room is great and their open houses and trends and spends are cool ways to get ideas. My parents and family have lived in the neighborhood of New Spaces since the early 1990's, and New Spaces is the remodeling company we would trust. My husband Rob is a business owner and does business with them, and we've learned that Shawn and his team are top notch.
They have a great reputation for high quality work, and their before and afters aren't just amazing - but their clients all seem to love them as well. Second generation business that's been in the same place, with pretty much the same company name, for a long time - and a great reputation! Too often construction companies have to change names and stay under the radar because their reputation is not great - but this team is a SOLID south and west metro remodeling company!

In the late summer of 2016, we decided that we were way overdue to remodel our kitchen and bathroom. We came up with a general plan and had three different contractors bid on our concept. During this process, a co-worker told me that New Spaces had recently remodeled their kitchen. They invited us over to view the remodeled kitchen and told us how great it was to work with the New Spaces team.
Even though we were ready to pick one of the other contractors, we called New Spaces to have them come out for an interview with us. Jennifer McClellan visited with us that next week and it was immediately clear to us that New Spaces did things differently than the other contractors that we had interviewed. Based on this interview, we put our decision on hold so we could see what the New Spaces designers would come up with.
Several weeks later we met with the New Spaces designers (Jayme and Kerrilynn) and they presented three different designs to us. The first was based on our original concept and was similar to what the other contractors presented to us. Then they presented the second design and it took both of our breaths away. It was a wide open concept which would remove all of the walls that separated our kitchen from the dining room and living room.
This was something we hadn't even considered. The third design was also based on the wide open concept. We worked with Jayme and Kerrilynn during that meeting to combine portions of the second and third design to come up with a preliminary design. We decided right then that we would hire them to complete the design and come up with the final cost estimate.
A few weeks later the final design was complete and the estimate was in our ballpark, thus the decision to go with New Spaces was an easy one. Because this was a major remodel, we lived in our lower level for the three months that it took to complete this project. During the remodel, we would get a weekly email from Sara, the scheduler, that detailed the work was going to be performed during the week.
When we did have a couple issues during the remodel, Sara always quickly addressed them and communicated the path forward. There is no way I could come up with enough compliments for Ross, our lead carpenter. He was awesome to work with and it was obvious to us that he took immense pride in his work. The completed project looks even better than the design that was shown to us when we met with the designers.
Now when we have our immediate family of 15 over for dinners, we can all be on the main floor. We usually have our 6 grandsons eat at the beautiful kitchen island while the adults sit at the dining room table. If you are planning to remodel, I highly recommend that you meet with New Spaces!

Highly recommend you take the time to get to know this company prior to making any decisions about remodeling. The process from design through construction is very well done, but it is even more about the people and we say they are exceptional. For some background, we first used New Spaces to complete a 2007 kitchen/living room remodel, and most recently had them complete their fourth project in our home when we decided to upgrade our basement from a wide open playroom to a more formal living and entertainment area.
The designers always took the time to develop a plan unique to our needs and tastes (and budget!).and the lead carpenter (Ross) is not only extremely talented, but simply put is just a super person. For us the people are as important as the product, and with New Spaces we believe we got the best of both!

The staff at New Spaces will take your dreams and make them a reality. The kitchen I had always dreamed of was made a reality in 2104. From the moment I had my first consultation with Jennifer, to my in-home meeting with Amber, to the final consultation at their offices with three design plans to choose from, I have the kitchen I have always wanted.
Working within my price range, I was able to get the center island I have always wanted, a huge pantry, a beautiful gas stove, beautiful counter tops and flooring to the pass-through from the kitchen to the dining room! Enough kitchen cabinets to hold all of my everyday and fancy items. The contractors were very easy to work with and totally professional.
If I had any questions on anything they took the time to answer them. They worked with me throughout the entire project and the project was completed on time with no problems. I would highly recommend you check out New Spaces for any remodeling needs you may have. These people know what they are doing and they do it with the utmost respect for the customer and their home.

We began our journey with New Spaces when their homeowner Advisor Jennifer McClellan came out to do an initial consultation. She had great ideas that we had never thought of. We immediately moved to the design phase. New Spaces prepared 3 different designs that they showed us in their showroom at their facility. It was very cool to be able to pick all our favorite concepts and designs from each option and start to shape our new kitchen.
From there, we decided that New Spaces had sufficiently proven their value and worth in the whole process so we chose to work with them on the kitchen remodeling project. With the assistance of our designer, we began to pick out all the specifics of our kitchen (IE: countertops, faucets, lighting, tiling, flooring, paint). They were very helpful and even willing to go shopping with us to give their insight on materials and trends.
After all our extras were picked out, they prepared a thorough proposal that included all kitchen demo, cabinet build, electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring, installing appliances, and project management. Our lead carpenter, Ross, happily went about his business and explained everything that was happening in the process. There was nothing he couldn't do.
The timing and implementation of the project was all very well orchestrated. Once the project was complete, they even came in and did a professional cleaning that made the kitchen truly "ours". Our experience with New Spaces was the best it could possibly be and we couldn't be happier with our kitchen or the whole process. They truly made it a one stop shop. Thank you New Spaces!

I would not recommend New Spaces because my experience with them was sub-par. At first it was all bells and whistles.and then the project dragged on. After 4 months of being passed around to 3 different designers, we still have no set design in place and no budget has been broken out. Their communication is terrible. I would email a question and would never receive a response.
I would then call and receive yet another apology about the timing. And then still wouldn't receive an answer to any of my questions. They may be good at what they do.but I wouldn't know because we never really got to that point after 4 months of waiting. If you want your project to drag on with literally nothing happening and no communication and not really feeling special, then by all means, use them.
