    We feel that our experience with Novel Remodeling has to be spread around for everyone's benefit. We live in Sherman Oaks. Did some research on windows company in our area and were about to choose a local dealer who carried Plygem windows. We called Novel Remodeling and they told us they carry Plygem , too. The day that we got the windows from Novel Remodeling they showed us the warranty before we signed with them. So that was a good start because we wanted to know for how long do we get a hardware warranty. The day of the installation they arrived on time. Everything looked professional and organized on their side. David and his crew did a terrific job on installation. If we keep the windows closed, we can hardly hear any noise and they look fabulous. Thank you for your wonderful customer service.

    This is a review, a pleasure to write. The work to be done: painting the outside of my home, including the needed preparation, and also fix a very bad job (build 2 combination security/inside doors) done a couple of years ago by a socalled professional local company. Novel Remodeling, their advisor, Phil, and the crew that was hired did a fantastic job. My home was built in 1961, it had been repainted only twice in all that time. Now, there was no color change and yet, when the men got done, it looks like I have a new house; it just shines! And the messed up doors: they fixed one and completely rebuilt the security's frame. They feel very solid now and I feel safe when I lock them. Am very satisfied and would highly recommend this company.

    This is the second review we leave for this company. We just had our driveway done by Novel. The reason we had the driveway done is because we had a water leak underneath. We had other estimates come over and they all tried to use the scare tactics of why we should get the driveway done. Novel representative Came over, was straightforward and gave us a price and even offered to fix the leak at no additional cost. We are in love with our new driveway

    This is our first time contacting a remodeling company, and we were extremely nervous as the bathroom remodel we where trying to do had setbacks. After researching various companies, Novel was chosen because of their ability to accommodate people with accessibility issues (Disabled and Elderly) and had commonsense protocols dealing with the Covid-19 issue. Other companies made it impossible to hire out because of their over the top protocols, and Novel seemed to handle things with a safe and commonsense approach. Our Project Consultant was Ben Oirech, who was extremely professional, giving us his credentials and showing us upfront that he was licensed and ADA (American Disability Act) experienced. We soon had a great conversation and explained to him our bathroom remodel. We also expressed that we hoped we found a great company and wanted to build a relationship, as we had other construction planned for our old home. As a courtesy he did inspect our roof, which was part of our planned home improvement. I already knew after the recent windstorms that it would need to be replaced. He did confirm my assessment and worked with us to get an exception deal on our roof. Over the next two months his team replaced our roof and remodeled the bathroom. The roofing team members were extremely professional, efficient, and respectful of not only our property but also our neighbors. Each day they cleaned and removed and debris, leaving our property spotless. As for our bathroom, Leon, was our contact and he visited often to ensure that the project was going well and wanted to make sure everything went well. They were also very knowledgeable about Los Angeles Building Codes, and made sure that everything would pass inspection. As for cost, we all know that the prices our going up. I saved up for years to have enough for the bathroom, and was worried as I would need to save up years again before we could touch the roof. Novel provided reasonable pricing and also helped advised on how to finance the roof as that was in need of repair. Ben and his team treated us as people, not some just some customer. I wish I could remember everyone's name, but each person from roof, to tile artisan, to runners, to plumber were all great people. They truly look out for us, did their best to find us the best deal possible, and worked with us every step of the way. They also offer Solar Power, and their consultant John is another knowledgeable guy who will also work with you to find the best solution possible. Unfortunately at this time we could not proceed with that, but I just wanted to include him as he another phenomenal member of the team.

    Spending $10k+ on a project was definitely the biggest remodeling project I have ever done in my 5 years of being a homeowner. I had the project bid by 5 parties and not only was Novel Remodeling the most reasonable, Ben, the project manager made all my anxiety go away. They knocked the job out in half the time they said they would, left no mess and everyone says how amazing the remodel looks. His team did a huge island with a waterfall edge, two kitchen counters, the matching backsplash and two bathroom counters all with matching granite. It looks insane, I've never been happier with a project which is great because it was also the most expensive. Definitely will use again and recommend A+++

    David C. of Novel Remodeling made this hole in my carpet when he came to give me an estimate.

    WARNING!!! DO NOT HIRE NOVEL REMODELING! Somehow Novel Remodeling hacked into my Buildzoom account, got my phone number and pretended to be one of the contractors that they recommended. Please view the photo that I have attached here to see what he did to my carpet. I had lifted up the carpet to show him what was under it. He thought there might have been hardwood underneath and asked for an exacto knife to check. I thought he was going to scrape some of the glue off of the floor, but instead he made this large 6 x 8 inch hole in my carpet. The hole is in a potentially dangerous traffic area, too. Additionally, he continually insulted me about everything: from my ideas about how I want my kitchen, to my iphone, to the chair he sat in. I asked him for his card. It appears in the photo. As you can see, it only has his last initial, not his last name. I can only imagine what his company might have done had I hired them!

    My amazing new bathroom
    Stacey P.

    Just had my bathroom done and I am so happy with the work and quality that went into my brand new bathroom! I consider myself very picky and detail oriented From beginning to end everyone that showed up was on time and professional. Usually I am always the one waiting on any type of contractor. But my experience with Novel's bathroom was very different and positive. I have been having a lot of issues with other contractors not showing up to work and delaying the entire remodel project except the bathroom. I am so glad I found this place after meeting with 10-15 bathroom places. They were the most reasonable with the highest quality. I could give David and the others 5 stars all day long. They are fabulous!! They are totally professional and always went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. They put customer satisfaction first. I am so pleased with this bathroom that I will definitely have them do other projects, like my kitchen. The owner is very honest, gives you a lot of good insight and information to make your decision easier. I also had them do the wood flooring outside my bathroom and I have received so many complements. I am definitely referring this place to anyone for bath or kitchen remodel. If you want peace of mine, go with them. I can't say enough good things. I just know that I made the right choice! Thanks to everyone at Novel Remodeling!!!

    Needed some dramatic changes in my backyard. This is a costly job and I was looking for a reliable group of people in Los Angeles. I didn't want my money to go to waste and it's always tricky finding the right people. The guys at Novel took away my worries and managed things so I didn't have to stress about it. They have been great people to work with and the guys are skilled. I really liked that. Dealing with them for the first few days, I knew I had made a smart investment . I would recommend them for any remodeling job. Their fast response to all my questions and needs makes them my go-to guys for any job. Big thumbs up.

    This was our first project with Novel remodeling , We had them change our lawn to water tolerant landscape. Sean P handled this project very well from beginning to the end. He met with us several times and went over everything to make sure we were on the same page every step of the way , They exceeded our expectations . We definitely recommend them and very impressed with our new landscape . 100% happy clients Faren and Jeff A.

    Different color tiles, they suggested I leave it and see if it evens out on their own or in the sun
    Adjanys M.

    I have proof of everything expressed. Buyer beware!!! We have had the worst experience with this company. They do not have customers service, they are rude and they behave like mobsters, threatening, intimidating and when you leave a review on skill level, professionalism and overall eve prince they respond with lies and accusations and blame, they blame the city and covid for the delays, at least from our view, the delays we complain about had nothing to do with those issues, everything they installed was incorrect of backward or broken by workers during installation. Finally, we are sitting here going into 5 months of a tiny unfinished bathroom, emailed documented harassment and multiple threats of lean. The project is not completed and they demanding final payment before it's finished or inspected. The only payment owed is the one submitted upon completion which they stated they will not complete over email. Completely unethical. Connected to a variety of DBA, there is no evidence the owner uses his real identity when we checked the license number. We had to explain to them their own terms of the contract to pay LAST1/3 upon completion as stated by them, they responded with aggressive intimidation and scare tactics, screaming and hanging up, and refusal to complete over email.

    The first time we met with Eli at our house regarding our bathroom estimate was in August 2014. We went over the specific details of everything that My wife wanted to have done, I really appreciated the fact that Eli was very detail oriented. They started our project the next day and continued working every day except Saturdays and Sundays till the project was completed, they covered everything from electrical plumbing carpentry Kaiann waterproofing and paint. What I really appreciated with Novel Remodeling is the fact that the price was set at the beginning and did not change all the way till it was completed. The entire team is super professional and friendly, they arrived every morning between 8 to 9 o'clock in the morning. The company was responsible to schedule city inspections and each inspection was approved the first time. You can see the final pictures yourself and see how beautiful the project turned out. I definitely recommend this team they are honest and professional, they never pushed us even once

    The final job....

    See all

Their pricing was comparable to others, but the ability to visit their in-progress projects gave me confidence. I'm very very particular, and while no remodel is perfect, Creative worked to bring my vision to life. My advice: plan everything in detail beforehand--or hire a designer. To save costs, I handled all the design myself while working full-time, which was highly stressful. Having everything mapped out helps avoid delays, last-minute changes, or compromising on your vision. Golan and Jordan were fantastic--Golan handled planning and communication, and Jordan ensured everything stayed on track. They always responded to my texts in a reasonable amount of time. Their tile crew was exceptional (I often bumped into them because they worked long hours and weekends to complete my home and were really nice and respectful people), and they tiled nearly my entire house beautifully (we're talking 2000 sq ft of flooring, 3 bathrooms, and a fireplace). I appreciated that Creative didn't nickel and dime me for small changes, and when a gas leak was discovered (due to careless cabinetry work), they fixed it--and more (we found more leaks during the repairs)--without extra charges. Despite delays beyond their control, they completed the full renovation in about six months--from pulling permits to final inspection. Major work included a new kitchen, three bathrooms, tile flooring throughout, interior paint, a new electrical panel, and whole-house LED recessed lighting. Even after the job was done, they returned to fix small issues without hesitation. That kind of follow-up is rare in a world full of disappearing contractors. I would recommend Creative for any remodeling project, big or small.

The project ran about six months. The short version: we'd hire them again. The longer version: Jacob, the design lead, is the reason we went with them. He has a genuine passion for old buildings and pushed to preserve original details that another contractor would have torn out without a second thought. That instinct matters when you're working on something irreplaceable. Ken managed the project more quietly but kept things moving. And when issues came up after the job was done -- after the final check had been cashed -- Jacob, Ken, and the owner Sage came back and made it right. That's not nothing. That's actually rare. Were there setbacks? Yes. If you've hired contractors in LA, especially on older properties, you know what you're signing up for. New Dawn isn't immune to that reality. They're not the cheapest option and not the most expensive either. But they're the kind of crew that stands behind their work, and in this city, that's worth writing a review about.

Roy also updated my entry door and added recessed lighting in the dining room, which tied everything together beautifully.

He is a competent professional and trusted contractor with a solid team of subcontractors who have been doing this work for decades.

This was a full-gut renovation that involved replacing all mechanicals, drywall, new bathrooms, new kitchen and doing a primary bath addition. With Gary's construction expertise, we were able to restore the home while maintaining its original charm and bring our design to life. Some of Gary's many contributions included framing a new tray/drop ceiling, installing custom window and door casings to match the originals. He also rebuilt the front porch railings and reinforced the porch ceiling so it would accommodate a porch swing. He built our backyard studio shed in just a couple days and it's adorable. While nearly everything is new, you can't tell. And that is a compliment to the quality of craftsmanship. Gary doesn't cut corners and it shows. It is very important that you trust your contractor and that they have integrity and do what they say they are going to do. Experience is also very important. Gary has all of this. We will definitely be calling Gary for the next house we buy. We can't recommend him enough.
