My husband & I hired Tim to remodel our kitchen & patio last year, and again to remodel our bathroom this fall. In addition to the things mentioned about his expertise in other reviews, Tim figured me out really quickly (and I appreciate that a lot). I am a very visual person and I change my mind if given the time/opportunity to do so. With the kitchen/patio project, Tim gave me plenty of time to carefully examine all options & give 2-3 "final answers" before actually ordering materials. With the bathroom, he wired my lighting so I could change my mind easily (and I did lol). Tim's patience and thoughtfulness is almost certainly why I am so thrilled with the end result each time. Every sub that he's brought into our home is equally fantastic. Our cabinetry vendor, the plumber, the tile guys - all friendly, clean, and great at what they do. Remodeling is SO stressful but Tim definitely makes it less so. He's available 24/7/365! read more

Sam Nowak and sons do amazing work!! Very friendly, clean and get the job done the way you want it I would recommend them to all of my family and friends if you need anything in your house done as far as a remodel. We had a leak which turned into a full bathroom remodel. Tim Nowak came out and gave us step-by-step on what we need to do and get it through the process. read more

My family has used Sam Nowak and Sons Construction for over 20 years. They did an addition at my parents home when I was a child, and recently just completed a room addition in my own home. Multiple family members have used them as well, and they have all he more than satisfied. Tim and Sam are very easy to work with and they're main goal is to ensure their customer is happy. We highly recommend them for all your construction needs. read more

About two years ago my family hired Sam Nowak and Sons Construction to do a two-story addition (two bed & two bath) and extension to our home in Whittier. Their team did a fantastic job! It was clear Sam has extensive experience working in this area and knew all city regulations off the top of his head. His son, Tim, is a perfectionist and oversaw the project. Tim made sure every detail of our home was flawless and gave great design tips when it came to lighting and placement. His workers were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with their work. Almost two years later, and cars still slow down as they drive past to admire the addition on our home. read more

I have hired Sam Nowak and Sons Construction Company three times. I could not be happier with the results of all the jobs they have done for me and my family. The first job they added 600 square feet, a kitchen, a master bedroom and two bathrooms. The second was a complete change of all original windows to double pane energy efficient vinyl windows. The most recent job was a complete kitchen remodel for a home we have just recently purchased. From drawing the plans, working with the city, to the final product, all three jobs cannot have gone any smoother. I especially like how they minimize the dust to the other parts of the house and clean up at the end of each work day. It certainly was a pleasure working with Sam and Tim Nowak. I have referred them many times to my friends and family. The George's read more

When I first met with Tim Nowak, one of the things he said that really impressed me was that he wanted me to have a home where I was happy and enjoyed my surroundings. Three short months later, and I have two lovely remodeled bathrooms and the amazing completely redesigned kitchen of my dreams. Yes, I am happy and I am truly enjoying my home. It still doesn't seem real, and I've joked all along to Tim that it seemed to belong to someone else and I might wake up and find it all gone. But, it's complete, and it's still here, and it's mine! I could not be happier. Choosing a contractor for a major remodel/renovation is not an easy task. I can attest to this fact by the sheer numbers of people who have asked me how I found my contractor when they learned I was in a remodeling process. I had to ask Tim for business cards because people were asking me to please share the name of my contractor. It's difficult to know who to trust, and I did interview several contractors. They were in and out within 10 minutes and then emailed a proposal. When Tim came to the house, he was here for over an hour, going over every detail, looking closely at the rooms, asking my preferences, answering my endless questions, filling me in on what would be necessary, and also what building codes required. I had no doubts after meeting Tim that I wanted him to tackle my ancient and damaged rooms. He skillfully brought my old house into the current century, and helped to create a warm, attractive, and happy atmosphere that I really appreciate. I often just stand and look at the new rooms, making myself believe they're real, and they're mine. I recommend Nowak and Sons without reservation, and with the highest praise. Sam Nowak, who I had the pleasure of meeting on two occasions, is a warm and friendly man with tons of knowledge that he has obviously passed on to his son, Tim. He has every right to be proud. Tim is very much a perfectionist, and will spot the tiniest problem before anyone else even knows it exists. He makes sure all work is done to his high standards, and does not accept anything less. I admire his tenacity and amazing eye for detail. He also has a great eye for design, color, texture, and layout. He told me he wouldn't let me make mistakes, and he didn't. He was also my mentor as I chose tile, paint, fixtures, and the other necessities. Tim is approachable, invites questions, has the answers, and makes sure all is well. My thanks to Tim and his crew for an enjoyable experience, and for bathrooms and a kitchen I will love and enjoy for many years to come. If you're thinking of updating or remodeling, you only need to speak to one contractor - Tim Nowak! :-) read more

Several years ago Sam renovated my office, including building a staircase. I was very pleased with the work. Thus when it came time to do some major remodeling, I naturally turned to Sam Nowak and Sons. They were professional, prompt and responsive. They guided us without a hitch through the design and permit process (which included modifying a restroom to be ADA compliant) and did the work in a manner that we could continue our work as well. I would turn to them for any projects in the future because they are professional and a pleasure to work with. read more

Tim Nowak of Sam Nowak and Sons Construction worked with us for a year to add a new game room and bathroom to our home and to remodel our existing kitchen and bathrooms. Tim is a fantastic contractor who really looks out for his customers. He is incredibly concerned with doing things the right way and in making sure his clients receive what they pay for. We had double Dutch doors installed and they had to be made three times before Tim was satisfied with their quality. We have now lived in our remodeled home for seven months and could not be happier with the quality of Tim's workmanship and his attention to detail. We recommend Tim to anyone in search of a quality contractor who is extremely personable, very knowledgeable, and hard working. read more

As a retired Chief Building Inspector for the City of Los Angeles I have dealt with thousands of contractors in my 38 year career. I can unequivocally say Sam and Tim Nowak are in the top three contractors I have had the pleasure to work with. Prior to signing our contract I deliberately never told Sam what I did for a living. This way I could gage if what he was telling me was accurate. Sam never once gave me misinformation and on two occasions suggested I go to the least expensive way in our project, which meant a lower profit for them. I ultimately told Sam what I did for a living only AFTER we signed the contract. They are professional, timely, and the cleanest contractors I have ever seen. Tim kept us informed of what was accomplished each day and what we could expect in the days to come. Tim and his crew were always polite, on time, and if they were going to be late he called to let us know. Should we ever need the services of a licensed contractor there will be no need to research several contractors as we did for this project. My wife and I highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Sam and Tim. read more
