Don't do any type of business with this company it feels like they are floating in mid air the owner has no idea what he's doing the poor child needs help he gives you amateur designs either done by a high school kid or someone that took no time nor care to do them properly the reviews you will read on Yelp are true don't be fooled by his prices they might be cheap but it's better if you go with another contractor that'll charge more for actual quality work not from some child that has no idea what he is doing

I contacted Novas through Thumbtack app. They responded immediately and Sam out right away. We discussed plans the guys seemed excited to work with us and said the deck could be built within a month. He said he would send the plans by Monday. This was on a Thursday. I never heard from them again. They were texting me before they came out and when I texted 2 weeks later no response. Why waste both our time to look at a potential project and then virtually disappear. Strange and disappointing.

Worst Company ever. They are responsive until the time of signing the contract and collecting the deposit. The pool contract stated that certain dates needs to be met. Meeting dates on the contract on one thing - they could not even start the project on time despite me reminding on a weekly basis. Ended up cancelling the contract. These are school boys trying to play in the big leagues but have a lot of growing up to do.

I contacted many contractors for the best quote and the one that Novas provided was the best and they tried to complete the project with utmost care and I would definitely recommend his business.

After coming out to estimate the job, they indicated I get the estimate the next day. Two days later I contacted then about the estimate, they promised a response the next day. Two days later I contacted them again with no response. I tried again two days later and again no response. I've given up. they obviously are not interested in my business. They were very unprofessional.

We recently used NOVAS Construction for a large patio and walkway project. Unfortunately as soon as we signed the proposal the communication completely deteriorated - we had to follow up with multiple calls and emails at every step of the project- which ended up taking months. Once the project was finally complete we had some issues which we immediately reported (all of the polymer joint sand that was applied washed away causing a lot of haze and a sandy mess across the patio stones) but went completely ignored by the company.
We were also disappointed that the main POC who provided the estimate (Brian) never visited the site during construction or at project completion to quality check the work. Overall it was an unbelievably frustrating experience for a project that we paid a lot of money for - and we now have outstanding issues we still have to resolve.

I am so impressed with the services Brian provided for us. We had several questions regarding our services and Brian got back to us so quickly. We've used different landscaping companies in the past but no one has compared to Novas Landscaping. They are affordable and the work they do is excellent. I am happy to recommend this landscaping company to all my friends and family.

Just had a bluestone patio installed by Novas Landscaping and they absolutely deserve this five star rating. The estimate was detailed and the price reasonable for the level of work to be done. Brian Domingues, the owner, was very responsive to any questions and concerns we had and his crew was outstanding. Working 8-9 hours days in 90+ degree weather to complete the job in 5 days. The attention to detail was excellent, the crew cleaned up everything at the end of each day and we could not be happier with the result.

Brian and his team did an excellent job ripping up our old driveway and installing a beautiful new concrete one. He is a pro, and his prices are incredibly fair and reasonable.

We hired Novas to read out the old grass in front of our row house, and replace it with plants and mulch. It was a small job, but Brian made helpful suggestions and his guys worked quickly. Would definitely hire them again.

Brian responded immediately to arrange a site visit and then was very responsive in offering a proposal. After accepting his proposal, scheduling was very easy and his team arrived on time and completed the irrigation and regradng job the same day. His team was professional and they cleaned up completely afterwards. I cannot attest to the effectiveness until we have a heavy rain but I was impressed by Brian's knowledge and strategy for managing a wet back yard.

Novus was great! Had two swales installed. Brian arrived on-time when coming to create initial plan and quote. His crew arrived on-time when coming to do the work. The crew was top notch, professional and worked all day. They finished on day two. They walked my property to ensure I was completely satisfied. I would recommend this company.

Would absolutely recommend this guys if youre looking for affordable and quality landscaping services in the nova area. I had them install a flagstone patio in my backyard and they completed quickly and neatly. The finished product was very high quality and was a great value for the cost.

An amazing company! Always on time and the quality of the job is incredible. I highly recommended! Brian does a very good job on everything he offers in his company. I recommended to every one of my neighbors and they are all happy with his job as well.

Brian and his team arrived ready to get the job done and finished within a few hours leaving my yard spotless. Trimming the top of my trees in my yard and mulched as well. I strongly recommend Novas Landscaping!

I'm a very satisfied customer. I called these guys about a tree that's been giving me problems over the last year with falling limbs and branches. Turn's out the tree was dying and that was a sign. These guys did a great job! They arrived fully equipped, were very nice, and gave me a reasonable price. Highly recommended
