The Guildmaster Awards
“Celebrating two decades of service excellence, our 20th Annual Guildmaster Awards shine a spotlight on the industry’s best in home building, remodeling and home services. This milestone year brings special recognition to those who continuously raise the bar in customer service, making it an especially exciting time to honor the dedication and commitment of our standout members.”
Our annual Guildmaster Awards celebrate service excellence within our network of home builders, remodelers, and home service professionals.
Since 2005, we’ve given special recognition to the members who consistently demonstrate exceptional customer service.
To determine who receives the award each year, we consider two metrics: customer recommendation rate and survey response rate.
Our company was founded in 2003 by a home builder who recognized the need for more trust between homeowners and the residential construction industry as a whole.
Knowing that unbiased customer feedback is a reliable tool to measure one’s performance, we began surveying the customers of home building, remodeling, and home services professionals.
Since then, we’ve created a platform over 2,500 companies depend on each day to evaluate and monitor the health of their business and leverage their customer feedback to demonstrate their commitment to excellence.”

Candid Reviews of New England Design & Construction:
“I tell anyone who will listen how grateful I am to have worked with NEDC for our project. David and his entire team go above and beyond to ensure that their clients feel supported, heard, and in-the-know. I am a big believer in the design-build process and the protections it offers to the homeowner, and I’ve been consistently impressed by the beauty and function of our design as well as the team communication. I’d give NEDC 6 stars if I could!”

“They do very high quality work and take care of everything. They also operate with a lot of integrity and trustworthiness. When something doesn’t go to plan, they take care of it. They do everything they can to make sure you are happy and satisfied with the work and that you are setup to enjoy it for a long time. This is hard to find in the construction business and is what sets NEDC apart, in my opinion. I can’t imagine another design and build firm that is as professional, reliable and talented as NEDC. The team is very personable, passionate and just plain nice. And the end result is outstanding. Our entire family (pets included) is extremely satisfied, now and for the future, with what they created for us.”
NEDC Client H.R. – Boston
“NEDC did a gut renovation of our house. The process with them was amazing from start to finish. From our first meeting with the president, Dave Supple, who inspected all corners of house and talked about our goals, to the wrap-up of the punch list with the project manager and lead designer, everything went exceedingly well. The process began with a series of broad design options and price ranges, then settled to one primary design during which we refined all the details and finalize the budget; then we moved onto all the material, appliance and finish selections, which is also done hand-in-hand with NEDC’s designers. Once construction began, we had a weekly meeting with the project manager to discuss what had been done the prior week and what was coming. This allowed for timely course correction. The project was completed on time – maybe even a bit ahead of schedule, I don’t remember, despite some COVID permitting setbacks – and at the budget that was set at the end of the design process. We were very happy with NEDC.”

“NEDC has been fantastic to work with so far on our addition project. We hired them because of their creativity, attention to detail and experience with projects like ours. They’ve been great at helping us to balance our priorities (cost, timeline, finishes, unique ideas) and have offered a lot of creative solutions as obstacles and decision points have come up. We also appreciate their flexibility in meeting with us (both timing and location) and their understanding when we’ve had to have our small kid at most of these meetings, making them less than idea working environments.”
NEDC Client S.B.M. – Boston
“We really enjoyed working with NEDC, from start to finish. The designers were wonderful about accommodating our tastes and considering costs as we tried to stretch our budget as much as we could. They also did a great job helping us figure out some features of universal design that will allow friends and family with mobility challenges to access our whole first floor, including the new bathroom, with ease without compromising the look of the room for our everyday use. The construction crew, from NEDC staff to subcontractors, was extremely considerate of the fact that we were living in the space while they were working, going so far as to leave a very clean workspace at the end of every day.
Everyone was personable and professional, and did their best to manage even small details like making sure our cat didn’t get into the basement. Our old house held many surprises for us, and in spite of that they managed to come in on schedule, which was amazing, and they were always great about communicating what these surprises would mean in terms of changes in schedule, budget, etc. In terms of finishes, their work is top quality, and they have been great about correcting even small cosmetic issues, ensuring that our home looks just as we hoped. They have taken a very tired old building and turned it into a beautiful, functional space that we are proud to call home.”
