My wife and I highly recommend Joe Newsom at Newsom Design Build to anyone looking for a reliable and professional building contractor. In the summer and fall of 2022 we interviewed more than a dozen contractors to add a hexagon shaped three-season porch to our house. We were searching for a contractor who we thought could do a good job, who didn’t charge an arm and a leg, and who was interested in our project. Joe impressed us on all three fronts. He asked a lot of questions to make sure that he understood what we were looking for, and then listened carefully to our answers. Joe’s operation is just the right size. With 5 carpenters he could handle all of the framing and inside finishing. For our project, he subbed out the footings, electrical, and roofing. What Joe doesn’t have is any salespeople or back office staff to drive up the overhead. Joe bid our project on a time and materials basis, and his labor estimates were very accurate despite the complexity of the project. We encountered a few issues, as one does on any project like this, but Joe helped us to handle them all with a minimum of extra cost, hassle or delay. Joe is a very creative problem-solver. Here are some specific things we liked about Joe and his team: -The quality of Joe and his team’s work was excellent. -Joe always kept us updated on the progress of our project. -The team was very careful to ask for our input as details of the project were finalized. -The whole team was careful to minimize the impact of the project on our lives and were considerate of our neighbors as well. -Joe and his team were personable and easy to talk with. We always felt comfortable asking questions about processes or timelines. -They cleaned up every day and secured materials. We would not hesitate to use Joe and his team again in the future.

Our deck was rotting, and leaning. Joe and his team did a phemomenal job - replacing all the deck boards, and facing. We have a gazebo on our deck - they managed to lift it, putting in new decking underneath and then securing the gazebo again! It is beautiful. They replaced our stairs which were also leaning. Everything is so solid and safe. They cleaned up beautifully - I would highly recommend Joe for anyone who needs a deck built or rebuilt!

Joe usually communicated with my son, because I was living in Germany. And he would communicate with us too. When Joe had to communicate with more than one person, he was great. He responded quickly and always had good advice and information to think about that did not occur to me. I usually took his alternate design advice and our basement turned out beautifully. We would like to hire him again, on other projects, for our newly purchased 110 year old house.
