Hofit B.
★★★★★
We recently finished another backyard remodel with Nfb, after they did our first house 2 years ago we now hired them again for the new house we moved into, this company is just what I was hoping to find from a professional, the quality of work, the communication, and the quality of the processes is just very different from all the other companies we interviewed, they are not the cheapest but was definitely worth the price.

★★★★★
Overall very happy!We’ve been putting off this job for 5+ years because of the cost. A lot of it was structural issues that we needed to fix. Deck literally falling apart, needed new retaining wall, drains, concrete support etc. so it was a huge cost job for not the most exciting updates.

★★★★★
Doron was a great project manager. He listened and communicated with my spouse and I exceptionally. The results came out better than we expected.
