They made a 25-year old home look brand new. Brett and his crew are very professional. He helped us with ideas to do the job better. They really pay attention to detail, and they all do the job right the first time. They are all nice and polite. Brett and his crew were here every day working until the project was done. They have worked together for many years, and their experience shows in the finished job. There were no subcontractors, we got the people we hired. They cleaned up and removed any and all debris. We have used Kowitz Home Improvement twice, and we plan to use them again on future projects.
Description of Work: Replaced roof, siding, trim, windows, gutters, and storm doors.

My new roof is beautiful. The workmen were very professional and really did a quality job. The dimensional shingles and the obvious quality of their work really make my home look more valuable. I would highly recommend them.

I used this service for years. I have never had any problems. They have done my windows, siding, roof and many other projects. When they did my windows they took all the curatins down and then put them back up. They are always on time. The workers are very effecient and professional. They clean up after they are done. I can't say enough about them.
Description of Work: Repair hole in siding among other repairs.

On the day he and the crew arrived they where able to complete the job in a few hours. They added flashing covered with a watershield that ran down the chimney and swept onto the roof so water could no longer go straight down from the chimney. They were all professional in manner and everything was cleaned up afterwards. We were also told when and where to caulk in the future as caulking material will break down over time. We highly recommend this company and will use them again. The price was a bit lower than expected and that was a good point too.
Description of Work: Previous owners of our house had a sunroom added but the construction wasn't done correctly. After a few years there was an interior leak. Brett Kowitz was able to pinpoint the problem and show us photos he'd taken while on the roof. He clearly explained both the problem and the best solution. He showed us the type of material needed to properly seal the area. Due to this rainy spring it took longer for him to do the repair but that was certainly not his fault.

Brett Kowitz was very responsive from our intial call, right through installation. Our home had the original aluminum windows sitting on marble sills. Brett ordered all new vinyl clad windows for us, with decorative mullions and munions. They showed up in exactly 8 weeks, and the installation was complete within two days. The workmanship was impeccable and we didn't even move our furniture out of the way in advance of the job. A really excellent product and wonderful work.
Description of Work: Replacement of 1960's aluminum windows with new vinyl windows.

They were very professional, detailed. They hung my curtains back up after replacing the windows! I never every saw any of them standing around. I am pretty picky and asked a lot of questions. They were very patient. When they left, you never even knew they were here.
