I did not use them

Lewis Green responded to my call very quickly. He removed the damaged section of vinyl siding and went to a number of suppliers to find a match in vinyl color & texture (the original supplier had gone out of business). He installed the new section and it is a perfect match! He also was able to repair the damage to my driveway. I highly recommend Lewis Green and have already asked him to make some other minor repairs in my house. He is a top-notch handyman.

My house was built in 1925 and has had issues related to the box gutter system and roof for sometime. I originally had Lewis come out and do an estimate for both a roof replacement and a gutter replacement. When I discovered that the roofing was going to be subcontracted out, I decided to go with a roofer that I could research on my own. The contour blocking was needed to replace the rotted soffits, this was an additional expense not included in the estimate. This was money well spent because Lewis replaced the wood with PVC. I was satisfied with the blocking, venting, and column replacements. They retained the character of the house and will eliminate the long term problems that the old box gutter system caused. I did have two important issues that left a bad impression with me. First, when the roofer came to install the roof, he could not do his work because Lewis had a left an overhang that would preclude the installation of the roof. I had to pay for the installation of the drip edge and cutting back of this sheathing. Lewis only offered to reimburse me for half of the expense. Furthermore, the roof sheathing that Lewis removed was not replaced with roof sheathing. It was replaced with a cheaper chip board which soaks up water unlike a normal roof sheathing board. Lewis did complain to me that this was a result of working with two different contractors. I felt that this was somewhat unprofessional considering the two had met and an opportunity to discuss the specifics before hand. Second, several holes were left after the contour blocking was set in. I asked Lewis to come back and fill these holes. Lewis filled the holes with a spray foam sealer that he assured me animals or other pests could not eat through. I researched the sealer and discovered that animals can in fact eat through it at which point I was told metal mesh was installed to preclude this. Knowing the specifics of a process goes a long way towards developing comfort and trust with a customer who is spending a great deal of money to have the work done. Overall, Lewis was polite and worked hard under difficult weather to complete the work. I was not entirely comfortable during the process as I feel some short cuts were taken. I would also encourage him to itemize his billing. Every contractor I have worked with has done this in the past, and I feel paying customers deserve as much transparency as possible. Since no guarantee is attached to the work Lewis did nor to the work that was contracted out, I would have some reservations about recommending him for a large scale project.

Lewis returned my call three hours after I left a voice-mail requesting to talk to him. He stated that he was too busy to come to my house that week and that he would get back with me. To date, I have not heard from him.

I had my banister repaired and in some places replaced. Lewis also replaced a commode in the Master bathroom. He regrouted the tubs in two of the bathrooms. He installed safety bars in the Master Bathroom. He painted the interior of the upstairs. He repaired two sliding doors in the kitchen pantry. He repaired two leaking faucets. He fixed folding louver doors in front of my washer and dryer. He rehung two doors that were not installed correctly and also added weather stripping to keep out drafts. He hung a TV for me on the wall that swivels. There is nothing that Lewis cannot do - and do well!

He was very thorough and had to disconnect & reconnect the ductwork when he discovered there were additional large blockages in the solid metal duct. He worked until everything was working properly (unlike several other repair people I had before). He was very neat, cleaning up everything inside the house & in the crawl space. I would highly recommend his work and have already asked him to repair some drywall patches in the next few weeks.

Lewis has taken care of our home for the past 4 years. He is the most caring and honest person that I have met - when he does repair work for our home, he treats it like his own home! Lewis has done every aspect of home maintenance for us that I can think of - plumbing, electrical, carpentry . . . just about everything. His work is excellent, his prices VERY fair, and it is always a pleasure having him in our home. My husband and I are 'seniors' and Lewis recently recommended that he move the water shut off from under the house to a convenient place in the garage. Now, when we leave town to visit our grandchildren, we just pass by the water shut off and turn it off - couldnt be easier. I HIGHLY recommend Lewis Green to anyone who is looking for a CARING AND EXPERT person to look after their house - and the best is, no job is too small for him - he really is the ONLY person I call when some type of repair in the house needs to be done.
