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
"WOW!! Lew and his team at Weitzman Renovations are fantastic! If I could give 10 stars, I would! They just completed work, and it feels like we have a new home! They renovated our basement and got rid of longstanding cat smell. They sanded our oak floors and applied a water-based poly with no smell that looks beautiful and adds light to our house. They brought in plumbers and electricians to fix lots of problems and their carpenters replaced our screen doors. Now we just walk around the house and smile! If you want to ensure your house project(s) are done correctly and beautifully, look no further. I highly recommend Lew’s team at Weitzman Renovations!"

"Competent and reliable team, solid schedule, very professional result. Neighbors see their results and often seek their help. Straightforward and knowledgeable. Comfortable interaction since 2015. They stand behind their work and take pride in it. We have a house built in 1838 which needed external repairs to deal with weather, recently becoming more severe. They reconstructed and restored an upper rear deck, dining room porch and far-back lower deck, repaired a front dormer, repaired an entire front & side façade and then recovered it with new clapboard, installed millwork around new Pella windows, installed real shutters, & a far-back canopy. They rebuilt an elaborate rear yard fence and built a privacy gate. It is our pleasure to write this review, we feel lucky to have them available."

"Rob did an outstanding job replacing our windows. We didn't give him much to go on. He had a good idea for what would look good and we are glad we took his advice. It wasn't an easy job to do since there was a good deal rot surrounding the windows and nothing was level to being with. He replaced as much as he could with materials that would not rot and the windows are beautiful."
