This company has been an absolute nightmare to work with. I contracted them over a year ago to remove and install a new roof and gutters. They sold me hopes and dreams regarding their warranties and workmanship but as soon as they were paid in full (before all the work was completed correctly) they simply will not return to complete the job. I even had to have someone else do the gutter installation for me. I have 14 pages of emails containing photos to documents our correspondence regarding the workmanship and clear visible defects in the roof which they have acknowledged but have yet to repair. From the two individuals who put their feet through my BRAND NEW CEILING IN TWO SEPERATE ROOMS to the flat roof in the back of my home that has several waves and wrinkles in it, this has been one of the most disheartening renovation experiences EVER!

I called this company to repair a crease in my ceiling because I heard so many good things about them! They came out to look and told me no because they couldn’t guarantee that the ceiling wouldn’t crack again. I said ok I trust you on …

I had an appointment scheduled for a little over a week, the day of my appointment I never received a call or anything, finally after 2 hours of trying to get in touch they finally tell me “the guy completely forgot about the appointment.” Wouldn’t recommend them at all!!

I, too, was approached regarding the hail storm and was lucky enough to have the majority of my roof and siding replaced and paid for by my homeowners insurance. I received a quote in May of 2015 and approved the work. It took weeks for …

They are Working in my development replacing every roof. Probably a huge job for them. and it is currently 7:30 on a Saturday and they are ripping the roof off next door. I am not sure if they are aware that on weekends people sleep in. My development allows home improvements between 10am and 10pm. You would think on a huge job they would figure that out before waking up at least 10 plus households on a saturday morning. They also broke the light on the outside of the unit and dropped a shingle through a screen, while throwing the old shingles off

Our home looks amazing. The crew that came out to help was so polite and kept me informed of everything happening. The only gripe I have is with the communication. Please just let your customers know at least an approximate date. We had no idea when work was to be happening.

Novak Home Improvements were profession and fair from start to finish. The quality of the work is as if I had done it myself. From the proposal to the installation and billing, every person rated a 10 in my opinion. I have owned a service business for over 30 years, and employed hundreds of employees, and I know how difficult it can be to have the best people in these positions. I wouldn’t normally respond to a survey, but in this case I had to. I have now used their services twice and would absolutely use them again when needed.

Novak Home Improvements had done roof work for me at a previous home and the quality of work, professionalism and efficiency then brought them to mind when I needed a new porch roof at my new home. They did not disappoint! The estimate was done and provided in a very timely manner. Any questions I had were answered, the work was done efficiently, and they cleaned up after themselves. Would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.
