Expert Spotlight: Valiant Home Remodelers

Every month, Somfy highlights one of our amazing Experts. This month, we’re turning the spotlight on Valiant Home Remodelers!

Valiant Home Remodelers takes a personal interest in every project they complete, and are dedicated to providing individualized service and custom solutions. Though the company has expanded over the years, they’ve done so without losing sight of the time-honored service they have always stood by.

A Residential Contractor Serving Central New Jersey for Three Generations

 

Founded in Carteret by Genare Valiant, Valiant Home Remodelers is the home improvement organization Central New Jersey homeowners have trusted since 1956. In the many years since their founding, they have grown from a small aluminum-products supplier to a robust home remodeling company offering a wide range of services.

Today, their legacy of providing excellent workmanship, quality products, and honest value is being carried on for the third generation.


The remodeling industry has seen many advances since the 1950s, and so has Valiant Home Remodelers. They consistently update their product selection and installation methods in order to provide solutions that will make customers’ homes more beautiful, comfortable, and secure – all with less upkeep and expense.


Valiant Home Remodelers is a licensed and insured residential contractor and a proud member of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, the Woodbridge Metro Chamber of Commerce, and the New Jersey Better Business Bureau, with whom they hold an A+ rating.

Valiant Home Remodelers Gives Back


As a local residential contractor, Valiant Home Remodelers takes a special interest in the community. This is their home, and they are committed to giving back to those who have given the company so much. 


In 1997, the Valiant family honored Genare’s son by creating the Michael J. Valiant Sr. Foundation. The Foundation has enabled the company to donate more than $300,000 to families affected by Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina, as well as to causes including the Carteret Specials and Autism New Jersey. 

Shade on Demand

 

In Valiant Home Remodelers’ early days of selling aluminum products, shading was basically limited to the use of stationary awnings placed above windows and doors. With the coming of motorization, the range and benefits of shading products expanded greatly.  They recognized how this evolution could serve customers and so they adopted the “Shade on Demand” concept.

Valiant Home Remodelers logically started with retractable awnings.  It was readily obvious that the flexibility retractable awnings offer in terms of ease-of-use and operation would give them a leading place in the market.  With motorization, that ease and speed-of-use expanded to an even larger segment of users.

While the use of retractable awnings is basically a “use or retract” proposition, Valiant Home Remodelers has fostered a newer retractable product technology which, in the right applications, can afford the owner many added features and benefits for their investment – solar screens. 

These screens are capable of enclosing, at the flip of a switch, entire areas of property to capture added living space with control of sun, temperature, comfort, privacy, and unwanted guests (insects).  By regaining the usefulness of those areas, solar screens can make available, what are essentially, retractable outdoor rooms.  When not in use, solar screens can blend back into the building architecture and seemingly disappear.

“Cool” Projects

 

Beach front properties at the Jersey shore can take a beating from the wind, rain and sea.  Solar screens were installed by Valiant Home Remodelers to help protect parts of this property, as well as make certain areas usable even when the weather is not quite at its best.

Retractable solar screens at this beachfront home deploy on demand to protect areas of the building from potentially damaging winds, rain, sun and sand.

Afternoon western exposure made this brick patio (and many others in this development) unbearably hot and overly bright during a large portion of the year. This was especially true due to the ceiling, which does not allow heat to escape.

The installation of motorized solar screens allowed the recapture of this useful space by providing, at the flip of a switch, blocking of the sun’s heat and reduction of glare. It also allowed the use of inside air conditioning to cool the area and, at the same time, exclusion of insects and other pests.
