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.

To the unhappy people who couldn't get him to work on your job, my sympathies to you but this is simply the state of the construction market right now. We tried to get some other bids on our complete bathroom and kitchen renovation (in total 2 baths) and we had several other contractors tell us that our job was too small as they had too much business. It was really frustrating.

We did not get to work with Sam, through no fault of his own, and would not hesitate to reach out with future projects. Overall a 5 star interaction.

Over the years I have seen contractors that run the gamut in respect to the level of quality and professionalism, and GT is leading the pack; what I respect most about this is that the way in which all members conduct themselves seems to be innate--they are good at what they do because they want to do good work, not because the owners require them to do so and this makes a world of difference on projects because enthusiasm is contagious. Every homeowner who I meet that has worked with Graham and Danny gushes when speaking about their project. On quality, specifically: some carpenters like to lean on the painters to fix their mistakes, but we don't have to do this with GT. GT's Project Managers demand quality from the ground up, thus allowing for every subcontractor to do their job perfectly. This leads to extremely clean/detailed projects which in turn keeps projects on schedule and on budget. (And it keeps subcontractors very happy--homeowners don't necessarily see this, but it *really* matters for a number of reasons). I wouldn't hesitate to use GT for any future projects and am more than comfortable to refer them to friends and family.

We hired TBH Sterling for a major kitchen+ remodel in November, which included structural changes,…read morea small bump out, new deck and stairs, new bedroom carpet, hardwood floor refinishing, and knob and tube removal and rewire on the main floor. It was a huge project we knew we'd have to do when we bought the house nearly 5 years ago and TBH proved to be the best team for this job. We'd heard nightmare stories from friends and family about working with contractors on remodels, but that was 100% NOT our experience with TBH. While we hope we don't need to do another major remodel, we would recommend TBH Sterling to anyone without hesitation. We started working with Wes probably 2 years ago, but had to delay our project due to a work layoff. Wes periodically checked in on us until we were ready to proceed. Wes' communication with us was our first impression of TBH and gave us a lot of optimism for how things would go generally with TBH. After the design phase, we worked with Collin during construction. We had weekly meetings but even beyond that, Collin was really wonderful, friendly, communicative, and patient. Everyone TBH hired - whether in-house like Collin and Jeremy or subcontractors - for the work was excellent in remodeling our home, were respectful of our time and space since we were living in our basement during the remodel, and the craftsmanship itself is superb. Collin really excelled at managing our 5-month construction journey together. We don't anticipate TBH returning to fix anything, but their 7-year warranty is pretty generous and gives us peace of mind that they will stand by their work in hopes that they will not need to return. We also appreciated that when delays happened due to weather or miscommunications, TBH owned them and made it right, ultimately completing the project more or less on time and 100% within budget. We're thrilled with the finished product (it's gorgeous!) and look forward to many years enjoying our remodeled home together, thanks to TBH and their skilled, diligent work.

Great team and amazing quality of work! I highly recommend them any time for any project!!read more
