Terrible experience all around I made the mistake of hiring…read moreMorris Renovations to replace all the windows in my house. I waited 8 months for the new windows. Morris Renovations kept blaming the delay on the factory and on covid. I find it very hard to believe because this was late 2021, the first half of 2022 when covid wasn't that big of a deal anymore. Also, I picked Marvin windows which are made in the US using Canadian lumber. Regardless, during those 8 months, it was incredibly tough to get in touch with anyone from Marvin who could provide me an update. My "project manager" Roman was nowhere to be found and would not return my calls. The guy who answers the phone just said he didn't know anything. For "security reasons" he would not provide me a direct number for Roman so I basically had no way to reach my supposed "project manager". You can't just take a 7K deposit and go MIA. Anyway, I was just about to lose all hope, when, miraculously, after 8 months, my windows were finally ready. On the day of installation, however, it turned out that one of my windows had been "misplaced" and no one could tell me where it was or when I could get it. 2 weeks later, they "found" my window. We set up a new install date, only to get it rescheduled with less than 24h notice. I didn't even get an apology. I'm still waiting on that missing window.... Now, as to the installation itself, it was far from top-notch workmanship. I had to go around and ask the guys to add more insulation foam in spots they had missed. They scratched and damaged the new windows in a couple of places, and they broke the molding on the interior so now I have to get that replaced too. Their caulking looks like a 2-year-old did it. To top it all off, they almost yelled at me for picking a big bow window with fixed panes because it is harder to install without specialized equipment that Morris does not have.All in all, my experience with Morris Renovations was extremely disappointing. After spending the equivalent of a new car, I was expecting to at least get quality to match the price. Sadly, all Morris has to offer is good salespeople. Once you've signed on the dotted line, you will get nothing but frustration and disappointment. Learn from my mistake and find a better contractor. UPDATE: I finally got my missing window. After reading my original review, the guys really tried their very best this time. Their best is just not good enough, unfortunately. They didn't use house wrap to prevent water intrusion. They didn't shim any of my windows. They somehow managed to over-tighten some screws and had nails popping out on the finished side of a 10K bow window. Not to mention all the scratches and dents they managed to put in. Their caulking is still deplorable. And they should not be allowed to touch moulding or any finished carpentry. I am mostly mad at myself because instead of going with the contractors I know, I decided to spend a little more for "professional window installers" thinking they would actually know what they are doing. I know how hard it is to find good contractors. I really hope this review helps prevent people from doing the same mistakes I did.

Sliding door installation…read more rough opening was not measured correctly. it was at least 3 inches too narrow and 3 inches too short. to take up space on the top, they broke apart the old door and stuffed it in the gap at the top, the sides where filled (mostly) with foam. It fit so poorly, they took longer screws from the old door. no felt or barrier on the sill. good job on the metal work around the window. I guess they have to be good to hide the terrible craftsmanship. Calls to the sales person go unanswered.

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.
