Neil is one of the most honorable contractors we've ever worked with. Not only did him and his crew deliver the work to perfection, my wife and I found them to be exceptionally professional for the months they were in our home getting stuff done. We were thrilled with the finished product, and when we went to list the home in the open market, we found out that all of the renovation and remodeling we did had a high ROI. Ultimately, we decided not to sell our beautiful home because we appreciate the labor of love that went into making it a property we'll own forever.

Neil and the Navu Builds team are first class. We were introduced to Navu Builds through a neighbor's recommendation and have worked with Neil consistently over the past 2+ years to renovate our unit within a three-flat. The team is transparent, responsive, and delivers excellent results. During our time working with Navu Builds, we've gutted/redone bathrooms, installed custom entertainment centers, replaced exterior doors, and rebuilt our rooftop. Despite the wide variety of projects, Neil and team have the capability of completing any type of project with excellence (truly a one-stop-shop). If you are looking for a contractor who is trustworthy and delivers expectation beating results, contact Neil/Navu Builds as they've been a great partner to us and the coworkers/friends we've referred him to.
