"Rocky and his team did a phenomenal job renovating my newly purchased apartment. It was a total renovation including all rooms, floor, ceiling, walls, etc. and we could not be happier with the outcome. Here are the things you can expect when working with Rocky: -Transparency and flexibility in pricing -Consistent updates and communications throughout the projects -Notified early in case there are any potential issues -Timeliness and reliability, they do their best to get the job done within your time frame Rocky provided a very thorough assessment of the project up front, and even took a few measurements early before providing a quote. He had a very detailed scope document and was very honest and transparent when there were scope changes. Most importantly, he cares that you will be happy with the project, and sent his crew multiple times after the project completed to help out with minor touch ups. I highly recommend Empire Home Improvement for anything you need and will definitely be working with them again in the future. Thank you Rocky for all your help with our home!"

Dear Customer, Thank you for considering my services. I've been working in the Cambridge, Arlington, Medford, Belmont, Watertown and Lexington areas for over 30 years. I have performed nearly every type of home renovation and can provide many local references. I can help you renovate your: kitchen, bathroom, basement, attic, doors, built-in cabinetry, front porch and all other home projects. I work with top notch plumbers, plasterers, floor refinishers, painters, electrician, tilers and others. I will make every effort to ensure that your project runs smoothly and with minimal disturbance to your home. You will always be able to reach me during a project and I will bring only the most trustworthy craftsmen to your home. My goal is to make your renovation experience a good one from start to finish with detailed contracts and great communication all along the way. I look forward to talking with you about your project. Best, Lew Weitzman

"We hired Lewis Weitzman to â rehabâ our kitchen. Lewis was amazing. We didnâ t need to hire an architect. Lewis, after extensive talks with us, came up with several redesigns that incorporated our tastes and preferences, while also taking into account the limitations of the space. Lewis was not only receptive, he was involved and creatively problem-solved every step of the way. Daily, he was there, overseeing the work of demolition teams, plumbers, cabinet makers, flooring experts, electricians, carpenters, and painters. When he discovered that one of our support beams had been taken down almost 30 years before, he quickly found a solution and was able to put up a massive beam that supported out entire upper floor. Throughout the work, we never had to worry when â discoveriesâ (never good ones, regarding electricity, plumbing, you name it) were made â we always knew Lewis would find solutions. Throughout the process, he continually helped us imagine new possibilities, whether it was uncovering a hidden brick wall or creating custom-made shelves in â dead spaces.â We had complete confidence in him â his work ethic, his skill, and his ability to coordinate multiple teams seamlessly. To us the result is amazing â we love our new kitchen and canâ t believe itâ s ours."

Major home repairs (general contractor) FAQs

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.

Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.

General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.

When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
