By Richie H.September 21, 2021Landscaping$11,500
This is the second time we used Sean and his team. A couple of the fixtures from the first installation (four years ago) needed service. They were still under warranty so Sean came out and fixed them. During that appointment, I asked Sean's opinion of adding more lights around the perimeter of my property. His team arrived on schedule and installed the lights in a single day. So we decided to do a few extra projects and had grass installed with a few rocks to give it a tropical feel. Now our backyard has a different look and feeling, specially for this hot summer days. I would recommend Sean and his team to anyone looking to enhance the beauty of their landscaping

By Sebastian A.September 20, 2021Kitchen Remodeling
Our experience with Novel Remodeling could not have been better. Their professionalism is outstanding, all my concerns were addressed in a timely fashion and taken into consideration, my personal ideas were welcome, the team that they put together to complete the project was excellent, and the quality and choice of products are also excellent.
I really appreciated the time spent working with me to go over measurements and features with such detail. We felt like we were getting true personalized attention and that it wasn't just us who cared about how my kitchen was being planned out.
We did a whole kitchen refacing with Kitchen Solvers and our experience was truly impeccable. With very minor tweaks they made my kitchen look like a brand new space. Their ideas are great, their service is A+ and the execution is on point. I can't recommend them enough!
From their amazing communication skills and outstanding on-site planning
process to their attention to every detail and incredible costumer service, we wish we could have given Novel Remodeling one millions starts. The renovations to my small kitchen was exactly what we were looking for and we're so happy we decided to work with Novel Remodeling. -
By Sofia G.August 26, 2021Master Bathroom Remodeling$32,000
we recently had our master bathroom completely remodeled. We bought our home 25 years ago & this is our second big renovation after our kitchen was remodeled 5 years ago. They removed the mini-Jacuzzi we had & replaced it with a walk-in shower & tub. Our floor & wall tile were replaced & a flat screen tv installed on our wall. They also installed our new chandelier, painted the bathroom & installed new light fixtures that weren't there before. My husband & I are really pleased with the cost, the results & the job done at our home. The gentleman in charge of our project, Sean, was always checking to see if we had any questions or concerns while our bathroom was being remodeled. We did had a few changes that we wanted to do & he right away made the changes to what we wanted. Such a great guy! - Thank you all the fellows that worked on our bathroom, we really appreciate your hard work.

Super nice and I could tell right away honest team. Novel Remodeling INC remodeled our bathroom for us. They were very pleasant, I will definitely call them if needed. Also came on time, which is appreciated!

Novel Remodeling INC were there as agreed and the finished my bathroom renovation project at the earliest. Communication was good, and we couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend Novel Remodeling INC.

By Randolph R.February 28, 2019Replacement of tiles$25,361
We needed a contractor to replace tiles in bathroom and wanted some painting works also in my hall. We were very pleased with how fast we were able to set up an appointment for a home renovation consultation. Novel Remodeling INC's crew was straight forward and honest with us about the scope of work we wanted done and the cost. Thanks Novel Remodeling INC!

By Lolita D.February 22, 2019
Their bids are competetive and the crew is honest. We had a few surprises of leaks and mold when we began our first bathroom. They were able to help us resolve this in an affordable and complete way. I appreciate thier dilgence and respect of process in this kind of work. Novel Remodeling not only offers a solid work ethic but also a graceful experience with some style and simplicity. I appreciate that very much.

By Alcott B.February 19, 2019
We couldn't be happier with how our kitchen turned out. It is gorgeous, unique, and exactly a reflection of our personal tastes. I simply cannot add enough superlative to how spectacular a job they did and how pleasant they are to work with. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
-
By Kristy P.February 14, 2019
The tile work is perfectly straight and the team completed everything perfectly with great attention to detail. Everyone was very friendly and there was good communication about what was being done. I was impressed by how thorough the job was. My entire bathroom was ripped out and all new drywall and flooring replaced. I would choose Novel Remodeling again for future projects.
-
By Rosario L.February 11, 2019
They work very clean and all together hard working nice people. We would use them again and would refer it to our friends and family. They did not ask for any payment until the job was 100% done and we are 100% satisfied! We are 100% satisfied! Thanks Novel Team! Your 5 star is well deserved and well earned!

By Robin V.February 6, 2019
So glad we found Novel Remodeling! They are reliable, professional, friendly--and can do anything. I appreciate that he calls to confirm an appointment. He will be our go-to resource when we need help around our home. Highly recommend.
-
By Shawn J.February 1, 2019
I came with a few ideas sketched out and they met me at my price-point, then blew me away with the quality. They built a totally unique table base and a TV stand that look absolutely killer. When it came time to powder coat the pieces they recommended a local guy and dropped them off at no extra charge.

By Jack P.January 28, 2019
We had a great experience using Novel Remodeling to build our pool. It was a big investment and we gladly trusted them to get the job done. They did not disappoint. We highly recommend hiring this company to build your pool. You will be glad you did!

By Jose D.January 23, 2019
Very professional, prompt and courteous... This was my first time dealing with a contractor personally and I do thank the Lord that he sent my their way.... Remodeling can be a nightmare but they really made it painless and did a fantastic and beautiful job... Thank you so much.

By Joe C.January 18, 2019
I'm very picky and grew up with my Dad having a construction company so I had very high expectations nonetheless I'm confident to say Novel Remodeling would earn my Dad's approval. We will for sure come back to Novel Remodeling for future projects. In fact we already asked him for a quote to do work at our rental property.
-
By Louis D.January 15, 2019
The project came in on budget and on time, and was super communicative through out the entire process. He is an intelligent problem solver. We ended up firing our designer a few weeks into the project and they picked out all the finishing materials (recessed cans, baseboards, door hardware, etc) and we're super happy with his choices.
-
By Elton D.January 10, 2019
Their quotes were quickly turned around and their communication was always clear. They worked quickly and did their best to accommodate my families schedule. The actual yard is fantastic and my twin boys love being out back on the turf Novel Remodelling put in. 5/5 would recommend and work with them again!
-
By Donald C.January 7, 2019
They promised to turn up on Saturday and appeared without bothering us. They just went straight to work on our giant front yard and back-yard. They worked non-stop for hours, then quietly asked if we'd take a look to make sure we were happy before asking for any money. They cut down trees, uprooted old ones, cleaned weeds, I mean this was not remotely a small job. Highly recommended!
-
By Henry W.January 2, 2019
He thought ahead, had his team scheduled perfectly and he was in contact with us the whole time. AND they cleaned up everything really well. We cannot say enough about what a pleasure it was working with Novel Remodelling. Super nice and super talented - We can't wait for the next project!
-
By Jon C.December 26, 2018
They showed up and were very friendly and helpful. They got right to work, let me see the damage before they repaired it, had me inspect their work before they left, and left no mess or other sign that they had been there. I will absolutely use Novel Remodelling again.
-
By Steven J.December 20, 2018
I really liked that we were able to choose the tile and materials from among many different distributors, rather than being limited to the showrooms some contractors have. We will definitely hire them for future work on our house and I recommend them to anyone who asks!
-
By Sofia M.December 13, 2018
They did exactly what they said they would do. And they did it in a very timely matter less than a week . Also
they worked hard and diligently and got the job done it looks wonderful! I would tell anyone who wants any kind of landscaping done in their yard of any kind to call this company. -
By Mike D.December 10, 2018
They called before to let me know they were on their way and on time. They did everything I asked: painting the garage, building furniture, hanging pictures and drapes, installing ceiling fans and mounting our TVs and hooking them up. They helped make my house a home! I highly recommend this company! Five stars all the way!!

By Angela R.December 5, 2018
They keep you updated and do what they say they are going to do. This project was ripping out 20yr overgrowth from the entire landscape and replacing with an updated look and low maintenance plants, and also adding an artificial putting green. Happy with the results and would use them again.
-
By Abigail K.December 3, 2018
The cabinets came out GREAT. I also had them replace the counter tops, sink, and add more cabinets to one section of the kitchen. The whole project came together great and the price was very fair. I'm very pleased with everything.
-
By Steven S.November 28, 2018
He is prompt and the cost was reasonable. He keeps his appointments that he has made with me, which is very important and has helped a lot with my remodeling. He is very personable, responsible and solution oriented. I would hire Novel Remodeling to do future work.
-
By Robert C.November 23, 2018
This was one of the most professional crews I have ever worked with, having done multiple home remodels. I would not hesitate to work with Novel Remodeling again, and provide the highest recommendation. One pays a nominal price for absolutely premium work. Truly a fantastic job by Novel Remodeling INC.
-
By Alistair H.November 15, 2018
Their roofers were professional, from start to finish. It ended up costing more than initially anticipated, but with all the unexpected additional work they needed to do, it wasn't surprising. They did an excellent job, and looks like it will last a very long time.
-
By Jacob T.November 13, 2018
The finish work on the skylight was done very well. Overall, I was impressed with the thoroughness and polish of the install. Even my neighbors commented how good the roofers were.
-
By Steven S.November 7, 2018
He truly went above and beyond for our mini kitchen Reno. Fairly priced, always on time and fast results done right! Highly recommend and we will definitely be using him again!

We live in Northern L.A. County and are hoping that you will post this even though we did not hire Novel Contractors through ‘BuildZoom’. We did hire based on another recommendation. Prior to hiring, contractors from Novel arrived and our requests were discussed. Basically, we needed areas to be sealed/painted. We were impressed with the representatives. However, later realized the sub-contractors that Novel used for the job were not qualified and damaged our patio and walkways. Novel was continually rude whenever we approached them with questions about the job. Everything ended up taking around 3 months; leaving us inconvenienced in many ways. The jobs should not have taken more than a couple of weeks. Damages done continue to exist. We had little backing from Novel, even though they knew there were problems. It’s been seven weeks since the close of the contract and now paint on our walkway is bubbling and peeling badly. An e-mail was sent to Novel (marked high importance) on Monday. There has been no response. We are greatly disappointed. Novel’s lack of integrity and excuses for bad results has been disheartening. We hired in good faith, but learned quickly that they seemed to only want to put on a good façade and take our hard earned money. We thought that the paint would be covered for at least 3 months. Apparently there is no kind of warranty, since we have not heard from them regarding our walkway, and it’s been 5 days. Please, be very cautious regarding this company. We were, and still got burned. We would think it would be important for a company to show good work. However, in our case, the evidence of their unacceptable work is apparent throughout our property. It’s definitely NOT good advertisement.

By Lee M.October 3, 2017Repair water leak, remove, repair and repaint damaged drywall
My name is Lee and I found them totally untrustworthy, Took advantage of our dire situation, had us waive the 3 day grace period, Their plumber would only re-pipe the whole house to fix a pin hole leak in the ceiling pipe (original issue). Once Ceiling/wall drywall removed, tried to scare us into an 8,000 mold removal,(done for $1500) upsell. when we refused they stopped work, asked for payment of work not done. My insurance agent can't believe their demands and they refused to give an itemized invoice for payment. Sadly we are in litigation as I write this.

My husband and I recently purchased a home that needed a little TLC. I was referred by a friend of my which had a great experience with Novel Remodeling. We remodeled our master bathroom, added a pool in our backyard, and installed solar panels. I was very please to work with Novel, they completed all of our requests to the fullest. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome.

My name is Hollis and I had all the windows replaced in my house. I am very pleased with Novel Remodeling. It feels good to know that there are still honest contractors around. Recommended

Novel Remodeling has been so helpful to me regarding my solar panel installation. We first found them on Buildzoom and contacted them directly. As for our first meeting, Kieth was very knowledgeable. He explained where we currently get our energy, how California is struggling to pay for its own energy, and what we should do about it. He recommended solar panels on my roof and i havent looked back. Now i pay 5$ in average for my usage to DWP

I never heard of tex-cote until i came across novel remodeling. I live in the LA area so its common to get calls from contractors being annoying. I chose to go online and found them and called them for a painting job to refreshen the look of my house. They offered me a new product Tex-cote and the results was amazing. Check them out and check out tex-cote for all you homeowners out there. Reduced my home owners insurance by 10%

Very confusing. Rep created a contract for an exterior coating, and a second one for a retrofit. The contract went from one bank to another stating a "Remodel Of A Home". All done with only a signature for a a paint job and another for a retrofit. The rep, Eli Azizi made phone calls to me but with no reason or explanation as to the dollar amount for a false "Remodel" claim.
