Deserves 0 stars- wish this was an option. Never had anyone treat a customer/client like this- like you aren’t good enough for them to do work for you? Who makes money off who in this type of business? Am I missing something? Never received the estimate as promised. During the walk through, Sebastian didn’t bother to measure anything, ask any questions, write anything down. Came and left. After multiple inquiries about the promised estimate received a text saying they don’t have my estimate and can’t do the job due to acceptance of other projects. Waste of time. Very unprofessional and arrogant owner with zero work ethic.

New Explode Construction Saved the Project! I don't write many reviews and did so this time because Sebastian Micle, Owner of New Explode Construction, went above and beyond the call of duty. I tried to save money on some electrical work as well as a kitchen & bathroom remodel. The original contractors made many mistakes and left the place a mess. I had a tight deadline and New Explode came in and fixed all the work and then proceeded to perform several other improvements to my condo. Sebastian stands apart from most of the contractors I have worked with because he has the highest integrity and will always give you a fair and honest assessment of the situation. More importantly, his word is his bond and he always stands behind his work. I give him my unconditional recommendation and will be using him for my projects in the future.

I enthusiastically recommend Sebastian Micle of New Explode Construction INC for the construction/rehab work. It is a very challenging job to find a good general contractor with good price and quality. In 2008 we purchased an old building at the Hyde Park area, and that building needs a substantial amount of rehab work. At that time we had no knowledge/experience on rehab, only know that the water of rehab business can be quite deep: you could spend huge amount of fund, and the work could be done poorly. To rehab our building, we have interviewed about 10 general contractors (including Sebastian), and we asked them the following questions: what projects they have finished; the planned timeline and the actual finish date; how to prepare city inspections; the budget control issue; choice of contraction materials; choice of sub-contractors; among others. Based on the inputs from the 10 general contractors, we decided to hire Sebastian. He has an educational background in engineering and a good past rehab/new construction experience. He very carefully checked the building condition and recommended things to be done, according to the priority. Given out budget, he carefully wrote an excellent proposal on what goals can be achieved, and the timeline of the project. We are glad that we made the right decision. Sebastian successfully completed the project and passed City inspections. Representative of our lender (a local community bank) came and was also impressed by Sebastian’s project. Due to its good quality, we easily rented it out: the tenants like the building. During the one-year warranty after the project, Sebastian paid close attention on the building. Due to the excellent rehab work, the maintenance is quite easy. Sebastian carefully performed the rehabbed project as if it were his own property. With the successful experience from our first building, we purchased other properties, and the rehab projects were also carried out satisfactorily.

The easiest vendor referral ever As a staffing & concierge firm, we cannot and do not take the process of referrals lightly. We refuse to allow any vendor to work in our clients home unless we can say, with the utmost confidence, that they are the very best in their field. New Explode Construction is one of a very select list of vendors that we refer to our clients, and I have never had to think twice about the work that they will perform. Sebastian has proven to be nothing less than an absolute perfectionist in his work, and I can rest easy knowing that he will succeed with any project or client he takes on. One of the things that I appreciate most in working with Sebastian is that he understands the delicate balance in being communicative about the project and status updates, yet respectful of one's privacy and ensures the work is as least invasive of one's home as possible. He is what you would want in a vendor and especially a contractor- he is diligent, reliable, courteous, efficient, sincere and innovative. Simply put- you will not be disappointed with NEC and better yet, you'll be thrilled with your experience!
