"We just moved full time to our house built by Nova Homes in Marco Island right after Hurricane Irma hit. We were delighted to find that we had no damage, no water infiltration and even our pool cage was fully intact! Only minor vegetation loss and one screen blown off! We are very pleased the quality of construction of our Nova home and would without hesitation recommend them as a builder."
