OVERVIEW

We had the opportunity to work with a very nice couple for the second time to complete a remodel of their home. The couple is approaching retirement and wanted to create their dream home. For this remodel project, we worked on their master bathroom, hall bathroom, stairway, and office. Now, we have remodeled their entire home.

You will be amazed at the stunning oasis we created in both bathrooms as well as the intricate design of their stairway and the functionality of the office. These projects exceeded the client’s expectations, all while staying within their budget. With these renovations behind them, the couple can sit back and enjoy their retirement in a home they love.

Master Bathroom Remodel

To help the family find tranquility in their master bathroom, we used a contemporary, soothing design. The white ceramic tile walls (Stone Solutions Flow Series) afford a clean and crisp space with accents that comfort anyone using the bathroom. The wooden cabinetry and floating shelves coupled with the blue glass mosaic deco tile (Stone Solutions Oceania Series), reminiscent of water, help reduce stress by delivering a calming effect. The black bronze hardware throughout the bathroom provides a stylish accent to the design of the room for a modern appearance.

It would be nearly impossible for the couple not to feel zen while soaking in their new Jetta acrylic oval tub while enjoying the built-in fireplace insert set inside the peaceful blue mosaic tile. With the intricate espresso chandelier above, they can relax taking in the beauty of this artistic piece.

Functionality was of major importance for the bathroom. The custom wooden cabinetry affords plenty of storage space for all of their bath necessities. The cabinetry even features a hidden electrical outlet to plug in and store hair tools without having to manage cords. The walk-in shower features ample space as well as a bench (Countertop Material) that will come in very handy as the family grows old together in their home.

 

Hall Bathroom Remodel

The hall bathroom borrows the calming design elements of the master bathroom while providing its own personality. With a similar color scheme to the blue mosaic deco tile, the hall bathroom features a herringbone mosaic in a cobalt blue color pattern. Present only in the walk-in shower, the mosaic is the inspiration for the color style of the bathroom.

The custom cabinetry that offers a great deal of storage for such a small space is in an accented blue color that lends itself well to the shower mosaic for a seamless blend (Paint grade 2-1/2″ Shaker). Golden champagne and champagne bronze fixtures in the hardware (Amerock) throughout the bathroom offer a lovely accent to the space and pair beautifully with the wooden floating shelves.

 

Office and Stairs

A stunning custom cabinetry built-in (Stain Grade 2-1/2″ Shaker) was designed in alder wood to provide the family with space for important documents, thrilling stories, and knickknacks to help bring personality into the space. With new wood flooring and a fresh coat of bright paint, this room is prime for performing any necessary tasks with ease.

As an accent area for the transition from upstairs to downstairs, the new stairs in the couple’s home are beautiful, functional, and safe. The modern handrail (HOF) and double bar hollow balusters have a sleek appearance. The stair treads were sanded and refinished to match the oak handrails while the risers were painted white to match the trim.

  • 157. Bob Curcio – Downtown Austin Condo"We're so grateful to have worked with such skilled, timely, committed, caring, and professional craftsmen"

    Thanks to the great team at New Creations for a remodeling of our condo kitchen. They demo'd, drafted, designed, fabricated, and installed what is now a "home style" kitchen in our condo. What they delivered was exactly what we'd envisioned. Not a single detail was left unattended. We're so grateful to have worked with such skilled, timely, committed, caring, and professional craftsmen, who delivered on the product and the quality that they'd committed to.

  • 156. Lindy R. Project #3 – Jollyville"You really feel taken care of on the New Creations Team"

    This review marks our third successful engagement with Roy and the New Creations team. The first was a stunning remodel of a galley into an open, airy European-style kitchen with wide open shelves featuring floating cabinets with attractive under-cabinet lighting. Our second was a remodel of a beige and forest green lavatory with peeling-linoleum-filled bathroom into a crisp, airy bathroom featuring hexagonal tiles that popped with dark grout and thoughtfully reworked pluming with chrome fixtures.

    Our most recent engagement was a large project in our newly purchased home. It involved new floors, resurfaced ceilings, wall to wall paint, and a completely resurrected kitchen space. I've always admired how clean and unimposing Roy's team can be while knocking down walls and tearing out wires and pipes. You really feel taken care of on the New Creations team--they have a gift for taking your vision in the form of magazine clippings, your favorite photos on Houzz, and vague descriptions (think, "modern but traditional," "light and open but private," etc. I think I would have slapped myself if I were them) and turning them into coherent, thoughtful design.

    We are in love with our new home and that is largely attributable to Roy and his team. I appreciate the consistency with which they deliver beautiful results. Most importantly, we have never felt Roy's attention waver due to the size of our jobs. From the little bathroom remodel to the full home excursion, he has made sure we are taken care of. Cheers to the New Creation team!

  • 155. John B. Project #2- The Park at Spicewood"A big thanks to Roy and Apollo, and the rest of the team for another home run project!"

    We worked with New Creations to do a complete master bathroom remodel and a refresh of a jack and jill bathroom. Both bathrooms turned out amazing, both in terms of looks and functionality. This is our second time working with New Creations (previously we did a complete kitchen remodel) and once again Roy and his team really took care of us from beginning to end.

    All aspects of the work - from design to project management to construction were handled extremely professionally and with great attention to detail. The project came in ahead of schedule and on budget.

    A big thanks to Roy and Apollo, and the rest of the team for another home run project! We look forward to our next project with you all!

  • 154. Betsy H. Project #2 – Cat Mountain"excelled in delivering outstanding results"

    Roy Faust and his team at New Creations have excelled in delivering outstanding results in quality, project management, and customer satisfaction through three significant home renovation projects. I am a very particular and detail oriented customer who has approached each project with a definite and unique vision that represents my home and me. Roy and the team respected my input and helped refine the project to make my vision a reality. I feel fortunate to have found New Creations for my renovations: they employ a great team of subcontractors, suppliers, artisans, and specialists (including furniture builders and suppliers who deal with out of the ordinary materials and finishes), which, along with a combination of design and technical knowledge, ensures that my vision can be brought to life.

    Roy and the team treated me as a participant in the projects; they listened to my concerns and included me in all aspects of the planning. I felt that they approached my renovations as partners, not just as doing a job; they were as invested in a successful outcome as I was. In any renovation project unforeseen issues occur. When problems did arise Roy and the team provided creative solutions, drawing on their design and technical expertise to maintain the integrity of the project. In lesser hands, the design quality would have been compromised.

    New Creations manages projects effectively, maximizing the use of materials, time, and labor to ensure the minimum level of disruption possible during a large renovation. They stand behind their work, are reliable, professional, and honest. I highly value the true team performance from the New Creations crew with respect to coordination, expertise, and process. I am in the process of designing future projects and can’t imagine trusting anyone else to deliver the unique designs, reflecting who I am, other than Roy and the New Creations team. Would I recommend New Creations? Yes, with no reservations!

  • 153. Deidre H. Project #2 – Great Hills"This in an honest company who does high quality work"

    New Creations performed a kitchen remodel for me.

    Hiring New Creations was a great experience for me. From the design all the way through the project completion, they are focused on customer service.

    I was extremely happy with the results of each of my remodels.

    This is an honest company that does high-quality work. Communication was good, the workmanship was wonderful, and everyone I interacted with was very friendly.

    I strongly recommend New Creations.

  • 152. Brice C Project #2 – Onion Creek"Roy Faust and his team are true professionals and committed to making everything right.'"

    We love our updated kitchen! New Creations transformed our cramped kitchen with limited countertop and cabinet space into a new gathering area that is now the focal point of or home. New Creations also transformed a small, dull library/bar space into something amazing. This is our second time working with New Creations. Roy Faust and his team are true professionals and committed to making everything right. We trust Roy and that was a primary consideration for us in choosing someone to remodel our kitchen.

    The cabinetry built and installed by Apollo is amazing. We had the cabinets stained and went from a natural finish to a darker look. We love the contrast of the cabinets with the lighter backsplash and counters. It really makes the kitchen look so elegant. Apollo also installed the backsplash and flooring. He is meticulous with his workmanship and you can trust him to get it right.

    We couldn’t be happier with investment we made in our home. Thank you NC!

  • 151. Leanne Logan – Onion Creek"Roy and his team did a fantastic job!"

    Roy and his team did a fantastic job! We had a large remodeling project which included our kitchen, master bathroom, powder room, and outdoor grill. His team is professional, reliable, and fun to work with! I have recommended New Creations to my friends and will use them for future projects. Thank you, Roy and Apollo!

  • 150. Reagan Lochte – Liberty Hill"Roy and Apollo give you the service that you just can’t find anymore.'

    I have the kitchen of my dreams, thanks to New Creations. Roy and Apollo give you the service that you just can’t find anymore. We have done small and large remodels over the years, and we have never received service like we did with this top-notch team. From the beginning of design to the end product, they worked with us every step of the way. Roy was great about letting us know what they were doing and when they were doing it. Apollo and his team were unobtrusive and left a clean workspace every night. They are professional, experienced, trustworthy, and service-oriented. We will be using this team in the future. I highly recommend New Creations!

  • 149. Debbie Love – Mesa Park"He and his team took my ideas and made a them reality all within budget."

    I had a mess of a 1972 bath/closet/vanity table and nothing from 1972 should still be around...except for the people, of course, and the music. Roy and his team transformed these three small, cramped areas into one big, bright, beautiful, functional space that makes me jump for joy almost every time I walk in there. He and his team took my ideas and made a them reality all within budget. They jumped through all the hoops I tossed at them and creatively resolved some challenges that the small space presented. I am saving all my pennies in the hopes that sometime in the not-too-far future, I can bring them all back to work their magic on my kitchen.

  • 148. Don Shapiro – Buda"All the home issues were addressed, and we couldn’t be happier."

    New Creations, in Austin, TX, did a great job on an extensive remodel of a mid 70’s home. They upgraded the electrical, plumbing, removed walls, remodeled the bathrooms and kitchen, and put in all new tile flooring. All the home issues were addressed, and we couldn’t be happier.

  • 147. Gigi Williams – Golf Club Estates"Roy and the entire team were nothing short of phenomenal."
    I wish I could have given 10 stars to New Creations! I can't say enough wonderful things about this company. Roy and the entire team were nothing short of phenomenal. Thank goodness for the designer eye because she really had to hold my hand! She kept me on budget and worked with me to design my dream kitchen. I can't wait to do another project with them. They are professional, responsive and just plain caring. From our first meeting to our last they made sure I was completely happy. Their customer service is tops.
    Thank you all for my beautiful kitchen!
  • 146. Dan King – Westlake"Looking back and considering Roy and his team's attention to detail plus all the complicating factors, I'm actually am surprised how quickly they got the job done."

    I contracted with NEW CREATIONS last year to remodel a new condo I had bought and had plans to move into. Having been through one medium-sized and another small remodel project years ago and from talking to many friends over the years who had shared their experiences with remodel jobs, my expectation was that this would drag out an excruciatingly long time and the results, while maybe satisfactory, would probably be less than what I dreamed of in regards to quality. But after reading their reviews and interviewing them, I was crossing my fingers for more. With COVID-19 unexpectedly happening, Austin inspections going crazy, and numerous add-orders I added to the original job, my project did take a long time. But every minute it took was worth the quality craftmanship and results. I can only say WOW! It's been fun to see the jaws drop from every one of my friend's that saw the before and after (and I still get jaw drops from those who just see the after). Looking back and considering Roy and his team's attention to detail plus all the complicating factors, I'm actually am surprised how quickly they got the job done. While I was generally satisfied with my previous remodel projects, I am absolutely thrilled with this one. I LOVE my remodeled condo!! So far, I am really enjoying living in this space and looking forward to enjoying it long into the future!

  • 145. Brad Casebier – Radiant Plumbing Owner"They always go above and beyond to get the job done right."

    These guys are great. They always go above and beyond to get the job done right.

  • 144. Michael Cottrell – Facets of Austin GM"he runs a well-respected company in the building industry here in Austin."

    I work with Roy and his New Creations team as a supplier vendor. He is a partner to my business and he runs a well-respected company in the building industry here in Austin.

  • 143. Cyrus W – Cedar Park"I have nothing but positive things to say and we look forward to our next remodel with New Creations."

    Roy and his team not only designed and built us a beautiful kitchen, but remodeled our entire bottom floor to include two living rooms, breakfast nook, and small bathroom. Additionally, his team coordinated new windows for the entire house, siding, and a lot of rock work. Oh, and they remolded my husband's garage. Apolo, Roy and the entire New Creations team were fantastic, professional, clean, on time, and on budget.

    I have nothing but positive things to say and we look forward to our next remodel with New Creations.

    Oh yeah, they re-did my stair case, and built me a desk under my stairs.

    Amazing work.

  • 142. John Theiss – North University"The designer he works with, had the patience of a saint as well as some of the best ideas for our redesign"

    Not all the work on our current job is completed but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I'll update when this one is done as well. Roy remodeled the kitchen and bath in our condo five years ago and it was fabulous. We loved it for the 5 years we had it and found no flaws or complaints.
    We recently purchased a single story home and hired New Creations to do the whole interior from insulation through replacing most of the electrics. Assuming that New creations would not do outside work, we hired an electrical contractor to upgrade the electricity and a paint company to paint the exterior. Roy worked well with both of them, even though the electrician turned out to be a serious complication, delaying things a month or more.
    John Theiss Email responses were prompt and 'basecamp,' an online task planning site, allowed us to see timing and updates at our convenience. In the process we made several changes and special requests and Roy handled them very well.
    BTW, the designer he works with, had the patience of a saint as well as some of the best ideas for our redesign.

  • 141. James Cox – Cox Electric"If New Creations is handling your kitchen, bath, or home remodel you're in good hands"

    I have worked with New Creations for almost 10 years. The owner Roy Faust is very attentive to his customers concerns, and he emphasizes customer service and satisfaction. If New Creations is handling your kitchen, bath, or home remodel your in good hands.
    From design to completion these guys will walk you through every aspect of your project and leave you with an amazing experience and home you'll be proud to show off to your family and friends.

  • 140. Daniela Knight – Davenport Ranch"Living through a kitchen remodel isn't ever fun, but Roy and his team at New Creations made it bearable. We are so glad we hired them."

    Amazing New Kitchen – After 8 years in our home, we decided to update our kitchen. We researched and contacted several companies who did kitchen remodels. Roy at New Creations was the first (and one of the only) to respond to our queries.

    Roy and his band of contractors helped us with the new kitchen design. Alina helped with paint colors, cabinet colors and getting us appointments with various vendors. Roy's cabinet maker was phenomenal. Our new woodwork is truly beautiful. His tile crew were always prompt and did an amazing job with the new travertine. Both his plumber and electrician were always on hand to answer questions and solve construction issues.

    Working with Jeremy, our site manager, was fantastic! He was ALWAYS available by phone and email. (And, yes, we had him on speed dial!)

    Living through a kitchen remodel isn't ever fun, but Roy and his team at New Creations made it bearable. We are so glad we hired them. Our kitchen is beautiful!!

  • 139. Stephanie Buchanon – Circle C"Their work is excellent - very high quality."

    Roy and his crew have finished a second project for us - remodeling the master bathroom. Their work is excellent - very high quality. They are reliable, courteous, and professional with an attention to making us satisfied with every detail. We're very happy with the results.

  • 138. Elise Stebe – North Austin"Roy was extremely professional, he guided us throughout our renovation project every step of the way."

    Roy was extremely professional, he guided us throughout our renovation project every step of the way. The contractors were timely every day and cleaned up the mess daily. The design personal was extremely helpful. We were very happy with New Creations. It was nice to have a design studio to see our options for colors, cabinetry and tile.
