National Home recently installed a new single membrane roof on our 16 unit condo building. In my over 30 years as a practicing architect I have worked with many contractors. I have seen a full range of companies and people in the building trades over the years. I would say that National Home ranks among the highest level of contractors I have encountered. They have been in business a long time and are very knowledgeable about the work they do. They are professional from top to bottom, from the principals to the workers. I found each person I spoke to to be an excellent communicator. They kept us informed about what they were doing and any changes in the project flow. Our roofing project was fairly complicated but they executed it very well. I would have no hesitation recommending these folks to any of my clients or anyone else looking for a good, honest, and dependable roofer.

James and crew just finished my siding on my house. It was done in one day and they did a great job. They came quickly to do the job because of the hazard of old siding coming loose and the winter wind. The house looks so much better and the hazard gone. I would recommend National to anyone for your siding needs.

I love the windows that James and his team installed, they're super high quality, keeping our old home warm and keeping out the noise of the street and the ocean outside. The installation crew were also courteous and professional and got the job done fast. Great prices too. Highly recommended.

We hired National Home Improvements to replace all the windows in our two story condo apartment. The process of designing and choosing the windows was very smooth, and when the product arrived we were impressed with the quality, especially since Ralph ’s price was lower than other bids we received. Now our windows look better, are far less drafty and noisy and more energy efficient. There were hiccups on the way as there always are with construction projects, but we were very happy with Ralph and his crew responsiveness and commitment to correcting things and finding solutions. Best of all, we were not surprised with added costs and stayed within budget. I have had a lot of frustrating experiences with contractors but glad to say that for this project, I feel we made the right choice.

They did full renovation in my house and it looks beautiful, could not be happier!! Always showed up on time and cleaned up when done. We've gotten many comments on how great it looks, and the workers were meticulous (and very nice). They will be called for any future projects!
Floor warped due to door not properly installed, kitchen cabinets not properly completed, roof shingles not finished, destroyed to bedrooms upstairs that were not part of project because HVAC installer read blueprints incorrectly! Failed to follow contract as written !

We had Ralph and his team remove old siding, insulate and side our house. Job was just completed and we were very pleased with the end result. Ralph was very responsive to questions or needs and always returned our calls. He is very straightforward and direct and now considered our friend. We felt the pricing was fair and honest. The workmanship was as we expected. The team of workers were professional and respectful. We would recommend Ralph and his team to anyone.
It is not very often that I write reviews in regards to my experiences with a company . Just like most of the population I only feel obligated to write a review when i have a bad experience. THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!!!I felt compelled to share how amazing this company is! My husband and I have a house in Monmouth County New Jersey that was built in the 1920's. We are expecting our first child, and came to terms with the fact we needed to do an overdue complete renovation to our house. After meeting with 6 other contracting companies to do our renovation we began to feel deterred, UNTIL we met Ralph and his crew! He was a gift sent from God for my husband and I. I am by far an easy customer, but Ralph understood my vision and jumped through leaps and bounds to help me achieve my DREAM HOME! Ralph personally kept in contact with us to let us know how things were moving along! I never had to call and inquire myself. I was never left wondering '' whats going on?''He was always available to my never ending questions. " Don't worry Jenn I'm just a phone call away" he would tell me. He would always ease my worried mind with his self assurance and confidence in his team. He really understood the worry and stress an excepting mother was under! I can not thank him enough for the level of understanding and compassion he showed for us. Truly a kind and personable man that makes you feel like family. The price quoted to us was extraordinarily more reasonable then any we had received from the other contractors we had met with. We were on a strict deadline with the baby on his way in just a few months time. Ralph promised us that the renovation would be complete in a comfortable enough time before the baby arrived. HE DID NOT DISSAPOINT!! Every single promise he made to us was met beyond our expectations. Our renovation was complete 14 days earlier then expected and under the price we were quoted. WOOHOO!!!! His crew was tremendously polite and professional. The attention to detail, quality of work and experienced craftsmanship really makes our home stand out from any other in the area! We need more owners like Ralph who takes pride in absolutely everything he does! This company comes highly recommended! If i could give them 100 stars i would. You will not be dissapointed i can promise you that! Every time i come home I'm left speechless by how beautiful our home is! I GET TO LIVE HERE!!!! He honestly made our house feel like home. FINALLY!!! We will be sure to use Ralph and his crew next year when we renovate our shore house! Actually really looking forward to seeing his vision and creativity for our next project!

I have worked with National and Ralph on several remodeling projects. His pricing is fair, his projects are completed on time and on budget, his communication is excellent and the quality of work is top tier. I would recommend Ralph and National Home Improvements to anyone looking for general contracting services of any kind. I would regard him as the leader in his field and would gladly hire him for my next renovation project.

Ralph was quick to respond to my call, he was friendly from the start, and sympathetic to our needs. His price was in the exact ballpark (we did all our own research on material pricing and square footage of material needed). Ralph was spot on with his quote for materials and labor. His quote stood out from all the others that were just trying make huge profits. My wife and I were diligent in talking to other clients of Ralph’s, and actually driving to homes that his crews performed similar work as to ours. Ralph only takes a 1/3 $ up front to ensure the job is done quickly and properly. Weather permitting, this job was big, and finished within a few weeks, all while working around our renters schedules. We can’t thank Ralph and his crew enough, they were communicative and professional, I would recommend them, and even use them for future projects in my home.
Description of Work: Roof was aged, leaking in a few spots, needed full rip off of roofing material and new roof installations. Same with cedar shake siding, some water rot in areas, also needed to be completely removed and replaced with vinyl cedar impressions. Fascia wrapped and new gutters and leaders installed.

Ralph and his team just completed a large re-siding project on our home. We are thrilled with the results. He is very straightforward and direct. His pricing is fair and honest. The workmanship was excellent. His team is highly professional and respectful. But above all else, the level of communication from Ralph, the owner, was amazing. I have NEVER had a contractor who communicated as frequently. He is available at all times to answer questions or deal with any issues that may crop up. After having dealt with many other contractors in the past that didn't answer your calls once they started your job, I was so happy to be able to pick up the phone and talk/text to the owner of the company at any time. Very refreshing!! I highly recommend this company!! Thank you National Home Improvements!
Ralph from home National Builders was very respectful has been respectful or on the job at all times had no problems job went very nice went over and above on everything they did on this job the house came out beautiful have nothing but great things to say for him recommend them too many other people. He cleaned up after everything job was performed to the most Excellence that there could be my expectations were done higher than should have been and he is a great man have work for you honest and does what he says he's going to do the home is at 19000 square foot home very difficult time to be worked on and he did a great job thank you

We had interviewed several contractors prior to meeting Ralph and from the moment he walked through the door we knew we'd hire him. After carefully listening to us, he made recommendations and explained what he would do and the order in which the project would evolve. He inspired confidence, was reassuring and kind and was in contact with us at least once a day to discuss the progress. We bought a fifty year old ranch style house that needed extensive renovation which had a few hidden surprises that our engineer overlooked prior to closing. Ralph helped us through and often went out of his way to support us. He was always there to take care of the matter even if it was a weekend or holiday and never let us down! This was a first time endeavor for me and I was grateful that Ralph had a fine and experienced team. He is an experienced professional, a wonderful person and someone I could recommend in a heartbeat!
Description of Work: Renovation: Siding, three new bathrooms, new kitchen, flooring, all trim and doors, windows, removed fireplace, enlarged master bedroom, walk-in closet, heating, electric, tiles, painting. All materials were included in the price of the renovation.
The moment Ralph walked through the front door I knew he would be our contractor. We had interviewed three others before him and there was always something missing. Ralph exuded warmth and a confidence that we had not felt with anyone else. He understood what we wanted, made suggestions and explained from the very start what we would encounter as we started this project. My husband and I bought a 50-year-old house that surprised us with unexpected problems and required major renovations. We replaced all the floors, wiring, lights , renovated and enlarged bathrooms, enlarged a bedroom and added a walk in closet, completely renovated the kitchen, removed a fireplace, added a glass sliding door, replaced interior doors, crown molding and base molding, re-sided the house and so much more. No one warned me how stressful this would be but Ralph practically held my hand as the construction got underway and calmed me down through at least one major meltdown. He was there for me through the tears as well as through all the exciting and wonderful developments as the project grew and the house we envisioned came into focus. I truly believe that he was just as excited as we were. We moved into the house on December 22 and on Christmas day the plumbing backed up. No shower, no toilets. We stayed in a hotel that night but it was Ralph who had a plumber there for us when we got home the next morning. Ralph employs the best workers and used the best materials for our home and it shows. The finished house has gone beyond our expectations because Ralph has been incredibly generous. We thank him for his patience and understanding and say from the bottom of our hearts that our relationship does not end when the last contractor leaves the house. We have become friends for life and both my husband and I realize how lucky we are to have found such a wonderful person and such a professional and competent contractor.

Ralph is extraordinary. I contacted him a few months ago and he did not have time for the project (hint: hire him early) but when my project went on much longer than hoped and many contractors did not follow through, Ralph MADE room for my project. He is by far the most professional and competent contractor I've ever worked with. His work is exceptional and quite fairly priced for the value. I would recommend Ralph of National Home Improvements without hesitation. He is as good as his word -- a man of great integrity. I would feel completely comfortable leaving him in my house with a blank check to fill out himself what I owed him. He's that amazing.
