Corey and his team were amazing. We have done a few remodels but started working on some roofing issues and he personally helped me resolve all the issues. We are so impressed with his professionalism and responses as well as his badass app that shows us what's happening all the time that we decided to give him our new building remodel. The building remodel is in Irvine industrial area and the work was quick and looks amazing. Super high end finishes and we could not be happier. Best part of this was Corey was the best priced in OC and he and his dad were such professionals. Highly recommend Corey and new Wave plus hand with Dave his dad he is such a cool guy. read more

NEWAVE CONSTRUCTION IS THE BEST!! If you're looking for a builder to do things right, you've come to the right place. We've worked with Corey for the last nine weeks to a fix few problems we had in our house. From start to finish Cory was professional, communicated effectively and delivered amazing results. Knowledgeable, detail oriented, patient, and amazing are the words that come to mind when I think of Cory. The workmanship on everything was outstanding and we could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend Cory and his team at NeWave Construction for any new construction, remodeling or home additions you may be contemplating. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Thank you Cory!!! read more

Unprofessional, Didn't show up after three consecutive appointments, even didn't inform us, just wasted time for waiting her...

I'm baaack! One year ago (almost to the day) I had NeWave Construction build an outdoor gas firepit for me on my front patio in CdM. It turned out great! (see below review 6/19/2014). Now I decided I wanted to make my front patio a little larger and rather than try to match the cement, I decided I wanted to do a flagstone boarder with the same stones used for the firepit. We got the Sparkstone supplies at Larry's Building Supply (who also were extremely helpful). Same as last time, the work/project turned out great and the process of working with NeWave was seamless and efficient! I love my enhanced patio! :-) Again NeWave was right on top of everything -- having the materials delivered, finishing the project in exactly 3 days as promised and they were very prompt to arrange clean up/disposal. Ramon is very talented with how he magically puts together stones and patterns, Marcus was very helpful along the way and of course Cory always follows up to make sure I (the customer) am 100% satisfied. Now I am just waiting for the invoice so I can pay them for a job well done! The $$ is burning a hole in my pocket. ;-) Should I come up with some other home improvement ideas for my home, I will be reaching out to Cory at NeWave Construction...and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone else looking to do masonry/concrete or other similar home projects. read more

NeWave Construction - Finished flagstone boarder to existing cement patio.  Gas firepit was built last year; the flagstone boarder was the 'phase 2' project. - General Contractors Near Me

Newave Construction recently completed an exterior renovation at our home which consisted of new windows, doors, siding & hardscape (new concrete driveway, stairs & walkways) as well some irrigation, drainage, electrical and tile work. We couldn't be more pleased with how it all came out! Cory, the owner was very involved, visiting the project regularly to meet with both us and his subs. He was very thorough in discussing our vision and expectations before the work commenced & throughout the project. He readily gave input and suggestions that in some instances we had not thought of. As a result, there were not many change orders. He even made some improvements throughout the project that were not included in the contract, at no additional charge to us. We felt he genuinely wanted to be proud of the finished product and for us to be happy with the end result. He was organized when it came to scheduling, responsive with regard to our questions/comments along the way. We found the app he uses (Buildertrend) very helpful in keeping track of the project & providing accountability on both ends. (i.e. we could both see pictures, scheduling, to -dos, and much more right from our phone/computer). After working with several contractors on various other projects, good communication was critical to us & Newave came through. read more

Hi ... Just wanted to give a shout out to Cory Monroe and Newave Construction. Cory turned my old tub/shower combination into a beautiful, spacious and functional walk in shower. See attached pictures. Cory also did a full remodel of our master bathroom a few years ago which is spectacular!! Cant recommend Cory and Newave enough! read more

THE BEST CONTRACTORS AROUND!!! Hands down! I am a real estate agent and I also own seven homes so have worked a lot with contractors. I have never before dealt with a contractor that has been so honest, so on top of things, so knowledgeable, shows up when they say they are, can't beat their pricing, And Goes so beyond The call of duty from the beginning of the job, to the END!!! They always answer your calls, are always one step ahead of you on the job! If you are looking for the best in the industry, there is NO COMPARISON!! From the initial phone call to the front office the girl who answers the phone is so nice and gets detailed information on your job and follows up with Cory who contacts you right away and comes up with solutions you never thought of. Cory stayed on top of my job while running other larger jobs but never made us feel like ours was any less important. He went way beyond what any normal contractor would do by calling when He was out of state at a funeral and Handling questions I had On a weekend!! He himself drew up plans even though he has an engineer because Of a rare situation of timing, He did what it took and had the skills to do so when any other contractor would make us wait for the engineer. He very professionally diffused and dealt with an irate neighbor, again way beyond the color duty, If one of his guys wasn't able to make the job that day he would Go him self to keep the job running there was NEVER excuses, only solutions! And at the final sign off of the job, the city inspector called out no CO detector, so the final hero of the company Daniel, dropped everything and ran to the hardware store got a CO detector, came back and installed it! When any other contractor would just tell a seller you need to put one in there and call for final. There was not one time they did not exceed expectations. So if you're looking for a 10+ Contractor these guys are it!! And did I mention communication communication communication. Never failed! Best communication ever! read more

Cory has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He's super flexible and accommodating but also a perfectionist. Cory makes the remodeling process easy with timely follow-through while ensuring quality results. What more can a client ask for? read more

I've had an ongoing relationship with NeWave Construction for a little over three years. They did a complete interior remodel of my home and transformed a tired, outdated townhouse into a beautiful updated little beach house. We had to break it down into several stages, as I had to remain in my home during the construction. When the work was completed, I had the home appraised, and this remodel added greatly to the value of my home. I am so proud of what we have accomplished together on this project. During the entire process, Cory and Chris were extremely helpful and supportive. I hit a few unrelated stumbling blocks along the way, and they were always there to help me back up and get the process going again. Besides doing excellent work, these guys are fair, honest, caring, and kind. They were quick to respond to emails, phone calls, and messages, and any issues were resolved quickly and satisfactorily. They stand behind their work, and I always felt that they had my back. I was also very comfortable with all the subcontractors who were brought into my home to complete the work. If you're looking for a contractor for any project, I highly recommend NeWave Construction. read more

Corey is the best. He stands behind his work. Honest and punctual. He took on a job most contractors said was too small. He had no problems obtaining a permit as compared to others who refused. If there's a fault to Cory, he's a perfectionist. read more

I had NeWave remodel my entire kitchen last spring and it turned out fantastic. They really did a wonderful job of getting everything done on time and within the budget. My kitchen required a full tear out and rebuild from the ground up. We had a few delays due to problems discovered but they handled all of them well and kept the project moving forward. They were able to coordinate over a dozen subcontractors and make sure everything was moving forward. We were able to turn the worst part of my house into the best part of my house and I would recommend them to anyone looking at doing any renovation on their home. read more

I had the worst experience with Newave it was a nightmare. I had many sleepless nights . I'm still trying to restore my house. Watch out the guy likes weekly statements with things you didn't ask for . He is all nice until you question things you didn't ask for.... Then it's hell. read more

We just had our master bath remodeled by Cory and his company, NeWave Construction. He and his crews did an absolutely amazing job! All of the crews were respectful, did excellent work (electrical, plumbing, hot mop, tile, glass shower door), and always cleaned up after themselves. Cory himself checks everything to ensure it was done properly and to the owner's satisfaction. His price is competitive and his ethic and workmanship are excellent. I wouldn't hire anyone else to do additional work in my home. You can't go wrong with Cory and NeWave! read more

NeWave completed two major projects for me: my master bath and my kitchen. While the process took a bit longer than expected the end result was phenomenal. Cory and his group are very attentive and will go out of their way to get things working to your spec. read more

We had a positive experience using Newave for an addition to our home. We received an easy to understand bid in a timely fashion and the costs were in line with the other bids we received. We picked Newave because they had time for our project and based on recommendation from our architect. Additions are not the most fun things to do in life, especially if you are living in the house, but it went smoothly. The project was completed on time. We've now lived in the space several months and are happy with the craftsmanship, quality, etc. We did like the project mgmt software because we always knew the process and when things were going to happen. read more

I called NeWave Construction when I discovered a leak in my roof when it was raining, of course. Cory returned my call right away and had someone at my house within hours. When they got to my house, the first thing he did was move my furniture out of the way and cover the area with a plastic sheet to avoid any damage to the floor. By this time it was pouring rain, I felt really bad since I knew that they would have to get on the roof to check everything out. But they made parkas out of the plastic sheeting and were up on the roof checking everything out. They were able to find the leak and covered it up so that the leak would stop. The day the rain had stopped they were the ones who contacted me to come back and patch up the leak. They arrived on time and kept everything contained to the area where the leak was located. When patching my ceiling, they match the texture and paint perfectly! Everything was completed all in one day and they left everything very clean. All of the members of the NeWave team were a pleasure to work with. They understood the importance of quality and completing the project in a timing manner. I will definitely be calling them again for a few other projects we have around the house. read more

Same as Cindy E. Seemed nice and willing to work with you at first. Then,,,Charged double what was quoted and all the stuff i asked for wasn't done. Did things i didn't ask for, charged a premium for it. Some things i ask to replace, they tried to cheaply cover. When i caught them and asked to do it properly i was charged for the first mistake, to remove it and to do it right. Trying to solve the issue of over priced statement, it became instantly hostile and it was all my fault; i wasn't watching/around the whole time. Even though i ask him to keep it under a certain amount.... when i tried to ask about the math charged for the hours (#workers X hours X days,, etc..) there was 20 unanswered hours, but was told they should have charged more hours...?? Considering when i did check, the workers always seemed to be on break or chatting/playing on their phones.,, i'm sure i was charged a premium for those hours.... good luck.... read more

I needed to have two bathrooms completely re-done and put the projects out to bid. I had 4 different companies bid on the job. I chose NeWave because Chris was so attentive and listened to what my needs were. NeWave delivered a bid and a timeline that worked with my needs. I had done 2 major remodels on my home and this was my 3rd time hiring a general contractor to do work on my house. What I know to be true is that there will be bumps and setbacks with any project and that how those unforseen situations are handled indicate the integrity of the contractor. Chris and Cory were both hands on and available at all times. They were able to come up with workable solutions to whatever situation arose, no matter the day of the week or the time of the day. My project is beautiful, the craftsmanship is first rate and it was completed on schedule and on budget. I have another project brewing in my head and will be calling Chris, Cory and Alicia at NeWave when I am ready to move ahead with it. read more

We are residents in North tustin and did a compete remodel of our home after evaluating three diffeent contractors we chose Newave Construction and were so pleased with the results. The team worked diligently to deliver the design on time and on budget. We would be glad to work with them again and refer them to others. read more

Newave did a great job, came under budget and were very nice. Great company to remodel your home. Couldn't have asked for a more helpful team to do my kitchen remodel. read more

I had NeWave completely redo my kitchen over two years ago. The project went great and the kitchen has really taken our home to the next level. We use it now every day and are so glad we had them take on this massive project with us. Great communication and they did everything they said they would. read more

NeWave Construction handled our kitchen remodel with expertise. Cory Monroe and his team were great to work with. Budgets were accurate, the work was excellent, they stayed on schedule, and the final result is beautiful and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend them. read more

NeWave did an excellent job on our kitchen remodel. We couldn't be happier. They were reasonably priced and communication was good. Cory, Chris and Lance were all available via phone, text or email whenever I had a question. The trades they sent were all on time, efficient and neat. These guys are busy (for a reason) so be sure and allow time to get on their schedule. It took about six weeks to get from the bid to starting work but we weren't in a rush so it was not a problem. Once the project got going it was completed on time an on budget. I wound highly recommend NeWave Construction to anyone. read more

We have used NeWave construction for the last 10 years and can definitely say this company is extremely professional. From Mr. Cory Monroe to all of the staff that has worked on our projects, we have had nothing but great experiences. The work is done on time, they clean after each working day so when you come home there is nothing to worry about, the working area is enclosed with plastic sheets and nothing is out of place. In the past the projects we used NeWave on were small personal projects, however over the last 5 years we have steadily increased their roll not only on our personal projects but in our business. They are scheduled to start a business project with us in which the budget for the project is over $1.1 million. This is an organization that both my business partner and I trust not only on a small projects but on larger ones as well. read more

I believe Cory Monroe to be an ethical GC. The challenge I faced was that he hires job managers and not once did the job manager visit my kitchen remodel. The sub contractors were unskilled and I am left with a myriad of problems. Here they are: kitchen counter is missing edging where it meets refrigerator ( it should have an ogee edge), holes drilled in counter were not placed correctly and my faucet is installed backwards, disposal guard installed upside down, they left the plastic coating on my hood/fan and it took me two hours with a razor blade to get it off, backsplash tiles don't line up well (in fairness they are small rectangles in a herringbone pattern and might have been challenging to get straight-they aren't straight), backsplash installer not skilled enough to tile around kitchen window so we didn't (although that's what I paid to be done). Cory knew I wasn't happy with the results and offered to send me a $100 gift card but he never did. That said, the kitchen counters and backsplash were demo'd and replaced in 4 days as promised. It took several phone calls to get the finish guys to "finish" the job 2 weeks later. The end product is ok. That missing ogee edge is the worst. Sadly, I cannot recommend this company. read more

We are subconstractors. NeWave Construction has short paid our company more than one time. They run behind schedule, have no supervision on job sites, have communications problems, and do not pay their bills on time. The staff does not have enough practical experience to facilitate, guide, or educate the subcontractors. Choose another, more experienced contractor. Doing so will save time, money, and grief. read more

Newave did a bathroom remodel for me. They were very punctual, on budget, went above and beyond to satisfy my expectations. The quality and cleanliness was more than I could have hoped for with my home being remodeled.... And not to mention the guys were not an eye sore by any means :) read more

NewWave remodeled our downstairs bath...they did a fantastic job! Very good communication, and wonderful end result! Would recommend them to everyone. We have recently hired them again to replace our hardwood floors. Thank you NewWave! read more

We have used NeWave Construction for over 10 years for a variety of projects at our home in Costa Mesa, and have always been more than pleased with the results. Some of the projects that NeWave has completed include a beautiful loft addition, new siding and insulation, a complete kitchen remodel, design and replacement of the driveway, back patio, and patio cover, construction of a fire pit and gas bbq hook up, installing a new drainage system in the yard, replacing carpeting, tile, and flooring, painting, remodeling three bathrooms, replacing stairs, and updating the fireplace. Cory has the ability to "think outside the box", and is a great problem solver. Cory and his crew take great pride in their work, and every project was completed beautifully and in a timely manner. If any issues arise, Cory and his crew return quickly and cheerfully to make things right. I recommend NeWave completely and without reservation! read more

We recently remodeled our master bathroom and chose NeWave Construction through the recommendations of friends. We're very pleased with the results. From the beginning, we were treated respectfully in a friendly way. Alicia, in charge of Customer Service, was our first contact. She asked lots of questions which gave her and owner, Cory Monroe a clear idea of the job we had in mind. They were able to steer us in the right direction for tile, cabinets, and design help. Throughout the job, all personnel of NewWave and their subs were helpful, respectful, clean, and professional. NeWave supplies a variety of ways to keep in touch - office hours Monday-Friday, text messages, email, cell phone calls, and an app which includes multiple ways to keep up to date and in touch including photos, a daily log, the schedule, invoices, and much more. Their attention to detail up until the last day gave us a bathroom we'll enjoy for years to come! read more

Do you have a contractor who will handle issues well and ensure an excellent outcome? Our project got off to a rocky start for a variety of reasons, but Cory got involved and transformed our experience. He is a business owner that wants to ensure a positive result for his clients and will do everything he can to make that happen. We were consistently amazed by the efforts he made to get us back on track and achieve the positive outcome we were hoping for. I cannot say enough about the above and beyond effort and excellent customer service Cory provided as well as the helpfulness of Cody, Mario, and the multiple subcontractors that worked on our project. No construction project goes perfectly. Issues are going to come up no matter what and there is really no way to know what kind of contractor you have until they do. Any contractor can be good when everything is perfect. Look for a contractor that is great when things go wrong and will work hard to make them right. Cory was certainly that contractor for us. read more
