During a recent home improvement project to install hardwood flooring, I removed the laminate…read moreflooring that was already in place. Upon removal, I noticed that the stairs were not only badly damaged (from a previous owner's work), but were failing in multiple areas when accessed underneath. This was no longer a home improvement project, but now became a safety issue. I contacted Jonathan on a Tuesday afternoon letting him know that we had a staircase that was in need of repair. I reached out to 10 companies (that listed on their Yelp reviews that they offered carpentry) requesting a carpenter or carpentry skills, but only Jonathan and another company indicated that they could repair stairs that were damaged and in need of repair. The other company was not as responsive and indicated that they were fully booked through the summer, and that they didn't have the time. After texting and calling Jonathan throughout the day Tuesday, Jonathan indicated that he would come out the following morning to assess the damage with one of his highly skilled employees. Jonathan and his skilled carpenter were timely and direct in what needed addressed. He indicated that we would replace 10 of the 13 treads, and that they would reinforce all of the stairs underneath with 2x4's and other materials. Jonathan and his skilled carpenter were not only efficient, timely, and responsive, but the quality exceeded all expectations. Jonathan's carpenter worked nonstop Wednesday (not even a break!) and finished ahead of schedule on Thursday. The high quality work was much more than we had anticipated, and the price was reasonable (considering the urgency and timing). I highly recommend Jonathan and his company. We plan to use them for improvements and projects. Top Notch!

Tore out walls, windows, doors, floors, lighting, stairs, tile, brickwork, and installed a totally new kitchen. Converted a garage to living space.

I have recommended Lakewood to our neighbors and friends.

We hired Lakewood Home Builders to build a 2-story addition following an architects' plans. The…read morework was completed in 2019. Since then, we have struggled to get them to correct problems. The mini-split systems their HVAC subcontractor installed have never worked properly. They run for a little while (long enough to pass inspection apparently) and then shut off and have to be reset. Their HVAC sub said they were getting new units for us, and now that I have asked again they say they are out of warranty so they don't have to. The new concrete driveway is deteriorating already. The deterioration seems to be only on the main portion so presumably a problem with that concrete pour. When I asked about the first signs of deterioration my concerns were brushed off. The driveway was also initially made narrower than the civil engineer's specifications so a strip had to be added to make it the correct width, which looks unsightly. They also cut corners with the architect's specifications. The back stairs were supposed to be low-rise - about 6.5" - to match our front stairs for accessibility. Instead they used higher risers so those stairs have a rise about 8" and are hard for me to use. The attic pull-down stairs that were specified to be insulated are not. I worry that there are more things that we just haven't noticed that were not done to specifications. We like the space, but the rec room is unusable in winter without a working heating system. Another warning - their HVAC subcontractor installed HVAC air vents in the floor of a bathroom including next to the toilet. Imagine what happens when the toilet overflows? Code allowed that (and may still, be careful) but it's certainly a bad idea (code does not allow HVAC vents in bathroom floors in commercial buildings) and I would hesitate to trust a contractor who built like that. I really wish we had chosen a different contractor.

I also appreciate that they didn't give me a four hour window. The guys were professional and courteous and the cost was $225. But I did check around and that seems to be within ranges. I have to see what else they can fix!

It involved completely gutting the upstairs bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, dining room etc... and developing an open floor plan. It also included creating an open floor plan for our downstairs study/family room. He and his team tackled this enormous job with the expertise and precision needed to complete an amazing quality of work. If I have time, I'll add a few pics of our first project. The second renovation project fall of 2025, included an entire roof replacement and installing two attic fans, repairing/replacing vents within our downstairs bathroom waterline and renovating our downstairs bathroom were among the areas that were addressed as well as other smaller projects. Similar to our first project renovation, he and his team maintained excellent communication throughout the project. Consistently performed high quality workmanship and their cleanliness as they worked is paramount as they work through each project. Highly recommend Jeremy and his team!

Without wasting any time, the team member LJ quickly went to work and displayed his experience and knowledge in the field. When I asked questions out of curiosity about certain steps in the process of the repair, LJ explained the step by step and made it sound like an easy repair procedure. After completing the repair and delivering impressive results, LJ proceeded to give advice on preventing this mishap from occurring again as well as pointing out other errors in the property and explaining how it can easily be repaired. All in all, the Frazier Painting & General Contracting team has been a joy to work with, taking no shortcuts in their work to display excellent results with honest work ethics, and delivering outstanding communication to their clients

We'll definitely call on them again and have recommended them to our friends- something we rarely do. Thanks guys! Gina & Walt

We purchased a rambling mid-50's home in Westgrove which, quite frankly, needed a lot of work…read more Walls needed removing, paint needed replacing and the work needed to be done on a tight timeline and to a high standard. One of my wife's co-workers had hired Proper Painting and Home Improvements to do their similar home and were impressed with the results. My wife hired Dave and his team and they did the job quickly and correctly with an outstanding job on both the interior and exterior paint jobs. The results COMPLETELY changed the look and feel of the house, and, after new flooring went in, they came back and did the final touch up to ensure everything remained tied together. After 8 months, we decided to convert a former utility closet into a wine cellar. It formerly housed a large boiler and fuel tanks and was, to be frank, a disaster. Dave and his team came in, surveyed the requirements and then went to work. Not only did they do the priming and painting, they repaired loose concrete bricks, built a closet for the water heater and then did an outstanding job getting new tile flooring in. Our house is what we want, and it is largely because of Dave and his team.

Marian honored his price even though we didnt choose him for flooring. He rearranged his schedule to accomodate mine. He and his colleague came out the following day earlier than expected. After walking through the project for over an hour before getting started, it was determined that the goal I wanted wasnt going to work. Marian gave me recommendations and left without charging me for his time. I felt bad so I asked if he can move the floors upstairs. After he finished moving floors he said I dont have to pay him if I dont want to. Never have I seen a contractor as honest as Marian and turn down a payment. I will definetly call him for future projects.
