We hired Lakeville Homes to perform a major remodel of our home including kitchen, drywall, stairs,…read moreand bathrooms. Lakeville failed to deliver quality in their work, completed months after promised, failed to communicate around the job and went over budget without disclosing the increased costs. I would strongly urge anyone to look elsewhere for a partner on their home remodel. Our experience was extremely poor on all fronts. Our main mistake (aside from hiring Lakeville in the first place) was not firing them from the job earlier. Many of the problems we hired another company to fix which took additional time and money on an already over-budget, over-schedule job. You can see from the attached photos samples of the issues we faced which were catalogued by a third party. Note that these photos were taken at the completion of the job - not while it was in process. Additionally, there are construction defects that we will continue to live with which include: a fireplace built at the incorrect height, a wall for a recessed door outside of the master bedroom that was rebuilt incorrectly and now doesn't hide the door, kitchen cabinets missing design elements that our architect designed, and a curved stair railing that is misaligned with the curve in the stairs. This company was poor in communication throughout and argumentative when we looked to fix defects as we discovered them during the process.

We've used Lakeville for a small rehab in our home and they were wonderful to work with from start…read moreto finish. We've also recommended them to a client who was looking to remodel his mother's home before placing it on the market. The client was very pleased with the remodel and was able to sell the property for top market value. Budget and scheduling were pretty close to expected except for a few issues caused by last minute client change requests - no fault of Lakeville's. Lakeville is unique in that they approach the project with realistic expectations and don't try to sell you a bill of goods like other contractors looking to play to your "cheapest bid wins" instincts - only to surprise you later with big bills. Rather, the owner and her project management team are very good at explaining why things will cost what they do. They don't pretend to be the value player in their field, they strive to be one of the most quality players in their industry. There is a saying that you get what you pay for and with Lakeville you get every pennies worth. From the clear and consistent communication to their client-focused design recommendations (the owner is a woman who knows what a woman wants - outlet in your bathroom vanity drawer for your curling iron and hair dryer, anyone?!) as well as their excellent craftsmanship, Lakeville always aims to please. If you've done a remodel before, and I've done plenty as a real estate investor, you will know that sometimes scope creep happens (I can dream big sometimes). You will also know that once you open a wall, plans can take a turn depending on what it looks like inside. Lakeville tries to anticipate these things happening by telling you upfront what the difference could be between "best case" and "worst case" scenario once that wall is opened, and how much more your bill might be depending on if you pick that solid surface countertop and chandelier that's 10x your planned budget. I love the transparency and honesty. So if you are looking for a partner on your home project and have reasonable expectations that a remodel or construction project scope, budget, and timelines may need to be a little fluid on both the homeowner's and contractor's side, you will be in excellent hands with Lakeville! If you have unrealistic expectations that everything will go exactly as planned, then perhaps no contractor will be a good fit.

The house is stucco and they neatly and properly flashed and counter flashed everything. In addition, the porch has a hip roof with a 4' x 5' flat section on which they put a PVC roof to replace roll roofing. They meticulously protect the house and plants and clean up everyday. I highly recommend them.

Knowing this was going to be a good size job, we got a few quotes before starting the work. Daniel was one of the quotes. While he was not the cheapest, I was impressed with his knowledge and the thoroughness of the estimate. He also gave us a sheet of references and after calling some we picked him for the job. Right away I knew we made the correct choice. He did an excellent job guiding us through the process of picking out the doors and letting us know the type of hardware. When it was time for the work to start he was very communicative as to what he was going to do and when. He also sent me a few photos of the work in progress during the day so I could see what was going on. It was a nice touch. When the job was complete it came in on budget and was well done.

Well, very small turned out to be not-so-small and we needed a contractor to help. Many of the contractors I contacted never returned my calls or emails. Of those who did, only Daniel asked lots of questions, came out to meet us and see the house, and stayed in contact without aggressively selling to us at every turn. Daniel was a pleasure to work with in every respect. He communicated frequently, was straightforward with us about options and cost and delivered a quick, professional result. He was friendly and respectful even though our little job and house are much smaller than his normal work. We're so thankful that we found a good contractor on our first try and will definitely work with Westbrook Restorations again! (Note: Westbrook Restorations isn't going to be your cheapest option, and it may likely be the most expensive, but it's absolutely worth it).
