Because of NEWLOOK’s unique combination of in house experience, from acquisition, design, and finally execution, our clients receive complete expertise in every aspect of their project. From custom single family homes to large scale commercial projects, NEWLOOK is driven by a modern construction aesthetic, yet rooted in the values of a family business. Architects, Brokers, Project Managers, and Seasoned Tradesmen fuse design and field experience to bring artistry and intelligence to every project.

Inside NEWLOOK

As a family owned business, NEWLOOK truly has passion and dedication to challenge the status quo of design while never compromising the quality or integrity of a project. NEWLOOK personally commits to our clients’ vision; exploring creative form, balance, and function, while simultaneously managing budgets. To achieve this, NEWLOOK often continues to engineer new means / methods and reinvent or repurpose uses of existing products or processes, culminating with a customized finished product that will inspire our clients.

NEWLOOK has been by far the most skilled and professional of all

There are always unexpected issues when remodeling an old house, and Michael and the workmen were quick to come up with creative solutions to the obstacles our house threw in their path.
Top shelf residential construction with a real estate operation

We are so happy that we had the opportunity to work with Adam and Michael and Dale…They are quality people whom we now consider as our friends.
Competitively priced, efficient, thorough, and accommodating

Even though they had to deal with record rainfall and other delays beyond their control, NEWLOOK delivered the Commons on schedule and within budget
Collaborative Effort

We were involved throughout the process in picking out fixtures and making design decisions. It was a very collaborative effort. We would highly recommend Newlook!
Custom Design

We were attracted to the design work that Michael and his team had put into the project - clean lines and unique details that were custom to the house and the space.
Integrated Company

A key benefit of NEWLOOK'S approach is their ability to balance innovative design work with financial practicality, in part due to the vertical integration of design, construction, and finish work.
Innovative Design

NEWLOOK'S ability to come up with creative yet economical solutions was tremendous when unanticipated problems surfaced during construction.
NEWLOOK Cares

Everyone at NEWLOOK was a pleasure to work with, with high professional and ethical standards. Michael leads the team by example, with open and honest communication that is not only professional, but also exudes passion for his work and caring for us as clients.
Moving Forward

We so enjoyed our experience working with NEWLOOK Development that we look forward to working with Michael and his team again on our second project.
Great Field Work

The patio looks great and we are super excited about it. Special thanks to Dave for his hard work and great coordination.
