valueGLASS vs. Novus Glass in Port Orchard
If you live in Port Orchard, there is a good chance the first auto glass name you see online is Novus. So before you book, take two minutes to compare. Port Orchard valueGLASS is the South Kitsap team of Kitsap County’s independent, veteran-owned glass company, and our everyday prices beat Novus by $100 or more, usually much more. We guarantee it.
Franchise network vs. a company built here
Novus Glass is a franchise brand. In fact, Novus describes itself as a global auto glass network with more than 975 points of service worldwide. valueGLASS, on the other hand, started in a Poulsbo garage in 2014. We built the company from nothing, one Kitsap customer at a time, and we are still owned and run by the same local owners who started it. As a result, every decision about your job gets made here, not by a franchise system.

What NOVUS Port Orchard does well
A direct comparison should acknowledge genuine strengths. NOVUS Port Orchard advertises Saturday shop hours, mobile glass service, RV and heavy-equipment work, a nationwide warranty, and repair of some cracks up to 12 inches. Its parent brand has a long repair-technology history and promotes a repair-first approach. The Port Orchard page also says it can calibrate newer Teslas and perform mobile ADAS calibration for heavy-duty trucks.
Where valueGLASS makes the stronger documented case

These are historical research figures, not current offers.
A local franchise is still a franchise
NOVUS says its locations are locally operated, and that matters. It also says the brand has more than 975 service points worldwide and operates within Fix Network’s franchise system. valueGLASS is not a franchise: the same Kitsap founders who started it in a Poulsbo garage still own it, set its prices, and answer for the work.
ADAS: ask what “mobile” means for your exact vehicle
NOVUS Port Orchard’s public page specifically confirms mobile ADAS calibration for heavy-duty trucks, but it does not spell out how every passenger vehicle’s static, dynamic, or dual procedure is handled. valueGLASS advertises both in-shop and mobile ADAS recalibration when the manufacturer’s procedure and conditions allow. Whichever shop you choose, get the exact calibration type, location, and completion documentation in writing.
Two different warranty advantages
NOVUS promotes a nationwide warranty, which may matter if you move or travel. valueGLASS offers direct local accountability, a written workmanship warranty, and free future repairs for repairable chips on windshields we install. Ask both shops for the actual written terms; “lifetime” can cover different things.
Ratings, awards, and proof
valueGLASS’s October 2026 Google snapshot shows 5.0 stars from 490 reviews, compared with the earlier recorded NOVUS Port Orchard snapshot of 4.5 stars from 213 reviews. valueGLASS also names the contests behind its “Voted #1” claim: Best of Kitsap 2025 and Kitsap Community’s Choice Awards 2025. Ratings change, so open the live profiles and ask any company making a “best” or “#1” claim to name the award, year, and result.
Written by people who actually live here

You choose your glass shop, not your insurer
Washington law (RCW 48.30.340) gives you the right to pick any glass shop for a covered glass claim. So if your insurer suggests another shop, you can still choose Port Orchard valueGLASS. We will work with your insurance company directly and take $50 off your deductible.
