Alex, our Project Manager, did an excellent job helping us find paint colors, patiently helping us look through samples and figure out what would look best for our house. He was kind, responsive, and patient. He communicated so well, and always answered our many questions. Angel and Alex (a different Alex) did a superb job painting the house. They were respectful and meticulous. We couldn't be happier with how they handled everything - from start to finish. Thank you, Gikas!

Most recently a basement overhaul to use the space as a social/entertaining area. As with earlier projects, we are totally pleased with all aspects of their work. They tiled the entire floor area, painted the walls and installed new lighting. They even installed a large wall TV. While I have no reason to doubt the negative reviews, that has never been our experience. I would not hesitate to contact them for projects in the future.

I called Novalis to replace the EPDM on the roof of a house we were planning to buy. Things started…read morewell with the owner Jonathan being very helpful during our home buying process and providing an estimate for the work needed, which we used to negotiate a credit from the seller. Once the deal went through, we heard from multiple people that Novalis was the best, so despite their higher price we decided to go with them. We had a beam with some deflection and an old ceiling/roof made of 4" wood wool. The span between the beams was larger than normal since the house was built in the 50s. Jonathan did not see this as an issue. On the day his team was ready to start, Jonathan's father, John (who used to own the company) also showed up to supervise the project. He was uncomfortable starting the project after seeing the deflection in the beam and the span between them. He spoke with his son Jonathan who continued to say it was fine. John pulled me aside and told me I should pause the project until I had a structural engineer come out. I'm really thankful for John's honesty. After taking his advice, the plans for the project changed to include ripping off the entire roof, replacing the sagging beam, adding tongue-and-groove planks for decking, two layers of polyiso insulation, and a new layer of EPDM. John continued to supervise the project and was great to work with. He answered all of my questions and was patient in talking me through the process. The job was done quickly, and the end result looked great. Coming out of winter and into the rainy season, I cleared debris from the drains. Not long after, I heard water pouring off the corner of the roof and hitting the metal downspout. I went up to clear the debris again. This became a frequent routine, as I kept hearing water come over the roof corner. I called Jonathan to come out to discuss the drain, as well as a large wrinkle near the front of the roof that had apparently been there but was now more noticeable after debris had been continuously sitting without proper drainage. I showed him pictures of other flat roof drains being set lower into the roof to allow more water to drain and prevent them from getting clogged so quickly. Jonathan did not see a problem and said any fix to the drain would involve cutting into the membrane, which I should carefully consider. We discussed other alternatives and he said he would get back to me after discussing them with his team. A month went by without Jonathan reaching out. I called Novalis to speak with him and left a message with the front desk. A week went by without a return call. I then contacted the EPDM manufacturer, Johns Manville, and one of their specialists pointed me to a PDF showing a proper drain installation on a low-slope roof. The diagram showed, and the specialist confirmed, that the drain should have been set lower into the roof. I called Novalis two more times to discuss this and what a reasonable solution would be but they never returned my calls. I spoke with two other roofers and showed them pictures to get their opinion on how serious the issue was. They both agreed that the drain was not installed properly but also said that fixing it by cutting into the EPDM could potentially cause more problems. It's a shame that things ended this way since Novalis had my trust and confidence in the beginning. I had a lot of respect for Jonathan's father and even though he was supervising the project, mistakes happen. How you handle those mistakes really says a lot about your character. Jonathan and I could have worked this out. If he had simply stood by his work and offered an extended warranty, it would have gone a long way. Even now with our ten-year warranty, I have no idea if he would honor it. It's clear that whatever reputation Novalis had was built by his father, John.

That's slightly better than larger firms. They are a bit more expensive for the extra effort. The problem is their scheduling, which suffers from their staff size. If you want somebody to come out, they drop you into a two month window, several months away from now, and if you ask you can get in the first of those two months. My gutters are clogged by the time they show up in both the spring and fall. And then when they show up, there's no warning. I came home a Saturday, (with guests arriving in 1/2 hour) after they had done my house, only to find disgusting crud all over my gas grill (it's June already) my patio furniture, a cooler of food I had set out and the whole upper deck to my house. I had to tell my guest to wait an hour so I could go all around and re-clean my whole deck and furniture. Had to wash out the cooler. They DID do some clean up around other areas of the property, but if I had WARNING, I could have moved stuff out of the way on the deck early in the morning. Or just not scheduled a backyard gathering on the same day. Basically they need to shore up their business model and take the clients schedule more into consideration.
