They were respectful and meticulous. We couldn't be happier with how they handled everything - from start to finish. Thank you, Gikas!

We decided to used Garden State Gutters to clean our gutters last year. No complaints. Couple of…read moremonths later we noticed our 1 gutter splashing out water - like a waterfall - during a heavy rain storm. We called them to replace it. The old one was just your "run of the mill" gutter and figured that is what they would replace it with. Very pleasantly surprised with the job they did (attaching a photo). What a difference! This year we decided to try out their Power-Washing- and again were very happy. The guys were here for a good 3 hours and worked the whole time. They cleaned the house, garage, and deck- as well as our front steps (cannot believe the difference- wish I had a before and after photo). Had the gutters cleaned at the same time - and since we had it done early (during March) they even did that for free. Needless to say--will be using them again.

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.

Exceptional Experience with Novalis Roofing & Siding - True Professionals…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience with Novalis Roofing & Siding. After years of frustration with a poorly installed roof on our 10-year-old home in Florham Park, NJ, I finally found a team that not only understood the issues but fixed them with integrity and care. From the start, the Novalis team was thorough and transparent. Every time we had a storm, shingles would blow off the roof. Despite having a "roof warranty," the company that originally installed it had long gone out of business--and now I understand why. The workmanship was a mess. Novalis came out, inspected the entire roof and gutter system, and took detailed photographs to show me every flaw. They walked me through the issues step by step, including improperly installed vent pipes, vented ridges, flashings, and even non-functioning bath and dryer vents. They also replaced damaged corner trim, which other companies had overlooked entirely. Their proposal was fair, and their team was incredibly professional, clean, and efficient. They completed the work exactly as promised, and the difference is remarkable. We've since had multiple storms, and I no longer worry when the wind picks up--I finally feel confident that my roof is going to last for many years to come. If you're looking for a company that stands behind their work, communicates clearly, and treats your home like their own, I highly recommend Novalis Roofing & Siding. They earned my trust and delivered top-quality results.

We had 25 privacy bushes planted this past fall, a costly investment and a big decision, especially as a first-time home owner.

The pricing was fair, they got the job done quickly (without cutting corners), and they've been super responsive throughout the whole process. Just yesterday I reached out because one of the bushes was leaning (2 months after they were planted) and the Scalora truck was in our driveway within an hour to fix it and inspect the other bushes as well. I would absolutely use them for future projects.

He correctly diagnosed the drainage fault with one of our window wells that would collect water & then seep through the window. We now have a new deeper window well and a better landscape gradient so no more issues since.

They then discovered the drainage pipes were not connecting properly to the water wells dug into the back yard. Having this work done has ensured our basement has remained water free and it is a weight off my mind when it downpours! John is honest and efficient and his team were very hard working and I would definately recommend them.
