We planned a huge renovation before we closed on a new home. They were on top of everything, ahead of schedule in the planning phases, below the budget we expected. Then we were unable to buy due to a seller complication and Lew and Associates refunded most of our money. We were shocked they would do that after all the work they put into it. I am definitely going to hire them again in the future. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Brian, > > It was great meeting you both and am hopeful we'll meet again some day soon. All the best to you. > > Robert & Victor Lew ### All 117 reviews **★★★★★ — jong88, Dec. 2025** > This was our second engagement with Robert Lew. He is easy to work with, offers great suggestions and has wonderfully skilled trade professionals as part of his team. We have no hesitation recommending Jeremy Lew & Associates. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks for the great review Karen, and thank you for hiring us for yet another project in your beautiful home. The primary bathroom turned out perfect. Kudos to you and Lauren Benditzky Interiors for her great design and vision on this one. This was a great team effort overall. Feel free to reach out if you need anything. > > Sincerely, > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Sharon Advani, Dec. 2025** > We have worked with a number of contractors and always had a bad experience. Jeremy Lew was refreshingly different. We hired them for a complete remodel and couldn't be happier with the end result. Their work was of the highest quality and they were extremely responsive to e-mails and texts, usually responding within the hour (if not immediately). Workers were very friendly and neat. We highly recommend them. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you Sharon! Loved working with you on your home. All the best to you any your family. > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Carol, Dec. 2025** > We were in a ‘love it or list it’ with our home. We called Jeremy Lew and Assoc based on a friend’s recommendation. Victor came to our house to talk about what we were thinking. I remember that day so vividly…he simply had a twinkle in his eyes about the possibilities for our home. We proceeded with a major renovation that has simply transformed our lives. Not only was the architectural design excellent and designed with our objective at the forefront (keep with the original architecture of the home and bring the outside in), the construction and project management of the work under Robert’s leadership was amazing. > > We have since done a ‘part 2’ which involved putting on a charming deck area off the back of our house. We’ve also done a ‘part 3’ to do some work we wish we had done in the original renovation. All done by the Jeremy Lew team because it is always the same predictable experience….vision and creativity, high quality work, collaborative project management. In short - value add beauty and no drama! > > We highly recommend Jeremy Lew and Associates. They are THE best. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Carol, What an amazing review! I can't thank you enough for the years we've worked together and your continued faith in our company. Wishing you both many years of good health and happiness in your home. > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Banner Showroom, Dec. 2025** > As a showroom associate at Banner Plumbing, I have the pleasure of working closely with the Jeremy Lew & Associates team on a regular basis, and I can confidently say they are among the most reliable and detail-oriented contractors in our industry. Their dedication to quality workmanship is evident in every project they bring to us, and their commitment to clear communication makes the entire process smooth and efficient for everyone involved. Robert Lew, Phil Korol & Robert Holubek are always prepared, professional and prioritize their client's needs. > > I highly recommend JLA to any homeowner or designer looking for a contractor who delivers exceptional service, solid craftsmanship, and a seamless project experience from start to finish! > > Patrycja (PJ) Jelen > Banner Plumbing Supply **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you, PJ. Your effort, expertise, and dedication have truly earned my business. You consistently deliver exceptional value to my company and our clients. You and your team are the best. RL **★★★★★ — Martin, Dec. 2025** > The best company I ever works, Very solid & profesional, I recommend JEREMY LEW to everyone. Super fast & qualified contractors. > > Martin **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Marcin, you built a great company in Magic Electric. I'm proud to have worked with you on so many projects and looking forward to many more. All the best. RL **★★★★★ — HU-166028111, Dec. 2025** > We had a terrific experience from beginning to end with Jeremy Lew and Associates. Truly a stand up skilled general contractor that only builds with quality and integrity. Their capable team built a new construction, 5,000 square foot home for us in Oak Park and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. JLA delivered a competitive and knowledgable bid that helped us avoid costly change orders down the road, stuck with us throughout the build process to keep us informed and thoroughly understand any issues that arose, kept the project on time (even as we made last minute changes and alterations), and lastly stood behind their work and supported us well after the last nail was hammered in. Thanks Robert, Phil, and the whole JLA team for our gorgeous home! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your generous review. It was truly our privilege to partner with you on your new home in Oak Park. Our entire team—Robert, Phil, and everyone at JLA—appreciates your trust throughout the process. We’re grateful for the opportunity to deliver a high-quality home built with the integrity and care you described. Your collaboration, communication, and thoughtful decisions made this project a true success. > > Thank you again for choosing Jeremy Lew & Associates. We hope you enjoy your beautiful new home for many years to come. > > Sincerely, > > The JLA Team **★★★★★ — Katy, May 2025** > Our experience with Jeremy Lew and Associates was fantastic from start to end. This was our first ever home project, and we were nervous and clueless. Victor listened to how we wanted to live in the new space, and came up with multiple options. We chose the final option, and together made changes to the layout. > > We did our addition in Winnetka, which can be tricky with the permitting rules, but Victor handled all of the back and forth with the village and came up with a creative solution (within the rules) when the village wouldn’t budget on something we didn’t agree upon. We were then able to quickly continue on to the construction phase. > > Robert and his team were fantastic through out the next five months as they added a master bathroom, walk in closet, a new bathroom, remodel a bathroom and added hard word floors on our top floor, completely gutted and re-did our first floor and did so much behind the walls. > > They were always there to answer questions, and one of the things we appreciated most, was Robert’s honest feedback on what he would do and what he wouldn’t. Him and the team could have easily said yes to everything we were thinking about, but they truly had our best interest in mind. Their opinions and suggestions made what was such an overwhelming process manageable, and let to a beautiful home that we love. > > Like in most projects, we ran into a few issues, and Robert and the team always came to us immediately, let us know what happened. If it was something that accidentally happened on their watch, they took full responsibility and fixed it out of their budget. > > Lastly, and the three things that I think everyone hopes for in a contractor: > > 1- A team that is responsive, and Robert and team almost always answered our calls and emails, or got back to us same day. > > 2- A team that continuously shows up and is working hard on the project. I drove past our home everyday bringing my kiddos to school, and there was only one day the driveway wasn’t full of workers. > > 3-A team that can stick to their deadline, and they worked extra hard to make sure our family could get in by a certain date. > > I can’t say enough good things about Robert Lew and Associates and have already referred them to multiple friends who have fallen in love with our end results and experience. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you so much for the kind words and for trusting Jeremy Lew and Associates with your first home remodel! We’re thrilled to hear how much you love the results and that our team helped make the process smooth and manageable. > > Our team always aim to provide honest guidance, creative solutions, and dependable service—so it’s incredibly rewarding to know that came through in your experience. We truly appreciate your referrals and hope you enjoy your beautiful new space for years to come! > > Warmly, > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — HU-33586633, March 2025** > We had a great experience with Jeremy Lee & Associates. They were professional, knowledgeable, reliable, responsive, delivered our house renovation on time, and their work quality was excellent. We would absolutely recommend them and look forward to working with them again. They were a true partner to us from Day 1. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Meghan. It was wonderful working with you as well!! We really appreciate how organizer you both were before we broke ground until the punch list. Wishing you much happiness in your new home. **★★★★★ — Exterior Solutions Inc, Dec. 2024** > As a siding company that has had the pleasure of working alongside Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc. on several projects, I can confidently say they are a top-notch team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality are truly exceptional. Every time we've collaborated, they’ve been organized, efficient, and always ready to work closely to ensure the job is done right. > > They communicate effectively with everyone on-site, making sure all aspects of the project run smoothly. From our experience, it's clear that they prioritize customer satisfaction and consistently deliver results that exceed expectations. We highly recommend Jeremy Lew & Assoc. ,Inc. to anyone looking for reliable, skilled professionals for any remodeling needs. > > It's always a pleasure working with such a dependable and dedicated team! **★★★★★ — W Ward, Dec. 2024** > We worked with Jeremy Lew and Associates on a full home remodel, which included adding a third-floor attic. It was an extensive project, for which we moved out of our home for a full year, but we have absolutely loved the results. A project of our size is not without surprises, but the communication throughout the process with Victor, Bob and Robert was wonderful. When issues arose we could address them quickly. We've been very happy with the design and craftsmanship of the work, and are really pleased with the results. We have recommended Jeremy Lew and Associates to several of our friends and neighbors and will happily continue to do so. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you Wesley. It was wonderful working with you on your home transformation. Call me if you need anything! **★★★★★ — HU-168188824, Nov. 2024** > We had a wonderful experience working with Jeremy Lew & Associates. We live in Highland park and completed our project in July. Bob, Victor, and the whole team were professional, friendly, responsive and organized. We are so happy with the way our house addition turned out and would no doubt work with them again in the future! **★★★★★ — Debbie Jacoby, Nov. 2024** > We recently added a primary bedroom and bathroom to our home and Robert was terrific to work with. He put an addition on our home twenty years ago and we were just as pleased with Robert and his crew the second time around! The project ran ahead of schedule, the sub contractors were all highly skilled, polite and pleasant to work with and the end result was stunning. Robert is an amazing problem solver, he is detail oriented, patient and incredibly responsive. We highly recommend Jeremy Lew and Assoc.! **★★★★★ — Michal Liszka, Nov. 2024** > Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc. is a great company that will tackle any size project. Robert and his team know what there doing. Highly recommend!!! **★★★★★ — plan4fun, Nov. 2024** > We selected the Lew brothers after meeting with several firms, and we definitely made the right choice. Our two-story addition was an enormous design and build effort, and they approached it with discipline - and a great project manager. Their designer worked with us ahead of time to really understand the quality we wanted, and they and their construction teams delivered. On time and on budget. Any time we raised questions or needed to make a change, they worked collaboratively with us. The final result is stunning and we truly love the way everything looks. The new addition looks original to the house, but it adds so much space. The kitchen and master bath were especially beautiful and have made a huge impact on the value of our home. **★★★★★ — Stephanie Wolfson, April 2024** > We cannot speak highly enough of Jeremy Lew and Associates for their exceptional work in building our dream home. From the very beginning, they impressed us not only with their expertise in construction but also with their dedication to fostering genuine relationships with their clients. > > From the initial consultation with Victor Lew to the final touches with Robert H., Jeremy Lew and Associates went above and beyond to ensure that our vision was not only realized but exceeded. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they maintained open lines of communication throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. > > What truly sets Jeremy Lew and Associates apart is their commitment to building more than just houses; they build relationships. It was evident from our first meeting that they genuinely cared about our satisfaction and happiness with the final product. It was evident from our first meeting that Victor is an exceptional architect. His excitement and love for his craft was readily apparent during our meetings. He embraced our style and remembered all the details and what we needed to truly make this our custom dream home for our unique needs. His knowledge and experience specifically within Park Ridge was the reason we were able to make it through their challenging zoning and appearance approval processes. We truly believe that it would not have been as easy or as good of an experience without Victor on our side with the village. > > Thanks to Jeremy Lew and Associates, we now have a home that not only meets but exceeds our expectations in every way. Their dedication to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and emphasis on building strong client relationships make them a top choice for anyone looking to build their dream home. Based on our experience and seeing the final product, one of our close friends have started a project with them. We cannot recommend them highly enough! **★★★★ — Brennan Aldridge, Feb. 2024** > We recently finished a major house renovation project and have been back in our house for 12 months. Overall, we are very happy with the end result; work was completed quickly and with excellent quality. > > We had hired an architect prior to working with Jeremy Lew and Associates, and throughout the project realized the two parties were accustomed to working very differently. Our architect and builder were great, but in hindsight wish we had selected an architect and builder combination that were more familiar with each other. As a result, we ended up with numerous change orders and occasional issues. Some change orders were clearly reasonable and fair, while others seemed unreasonable, such as added cost to allow a plumber to pick up a valve for inside the shower wall (we ended up driving to the warehouse to get it ourselves), or for the flooring team to re-install or replace thresholds removed when refinishing the floors. > > While there were items that were frustrating as mentioned above, there were others where the team took ownership for the end result, such as adjusting plumbing to accommodate the vanity we selected and offering to replace steel posts that were not made to the architects specifications (we chose to keep the ones they made because they looked great anyway). > > At the end of the day, while the project was not completed exactly as expected and there were disputes that seemed unnecessary, the team at Jeremy Lew and Associates collaborated more often than not to make the best of the situation and work within our budget. We descoped some work and accepted some changes to reduce cost, and they invested at times to cover costs that were underestimated or unanticipated. We reached out for a couple of minor items in the past 12 months after living in our house, and they were reviewed and addressed in a timely manner. > > In summary, the process wasn't always easy, but the team often did the right thing at the end of the day and accommodated some unique ideas in our architecture plans, and we think it turned out beautifully. > > Many thanks to the team for sticking it out, always answering calls with professionalism, and ultimately delivering a wonderful transformation to our home! **★★★★★ — Mike Wawiorko, Nov. 2023** > I have worked with Robert and the entire Jeremy Lew & Associates team for several years. Extremely professional and detail oriented group that is always responsive and driven by perfection. From remodeling to new construction homes, they have always been a pleasure to collaborate with and end up with beautiful projects. **★★★★★ — Colleen Klehr, Nov. 2023** > We worked with Jeremy Lew & Assoc to complete a full kitchen and bathroom rehab. The quality of work, attention to detail and project communications met our expectations. Our project team worked closely with us throughout the project to ensure we were pleased with the work and made sure we understood the impact to project cost and timeline when changes were made. We are very happy with the work and enjoying our new kitchen. **★★★★★ — Matt Mansueto Photography, Inc, Nov. 2023** > I have had the privilege of working with Jeremy Lew & Associates on numerous occasions as an architectural photographer, and I am consistently impressed by the quality of their work. Not only do they craft beautiful, thoughtfully designed homes, but they also create an atmosphere that fosters genuine happiness among the homeowners. > > One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Robert and Victor is the warm welcome I receive from homeowners when I arrive to photograph their homes. It's clear that they are not just satisfied with their homes; they are genuinely thrilled. > > If you are seeking an architecture and construction firm that not only creates stunning residences but also ensures the happiness of their clients, Jeremy Lew & Associates is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend their services, and I look forward to many more opportunities to work with them in the future. And who knows, maybe I'll get to capture your project. **★★★★★ — amandaschallman, Nov. 2023** > Jeremy Lew & Assoc recently finished a 2 story addition and complete renovation to our home in Highland Park. I have recommended them to many friends, and Robert was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and made sure the project ran very smoothly. We had an overall great experience with wonderful craftsmanship of the work. **★★★★★ — Wilk Design Group, Nov. 2023** > I have collaborated with Jeremy Lew and Associates on numerous projects, and I must say, they epitomize professionalism. Every client we've partnered with has expressed sheer satisfaction with the final outcomes. The Lews exhibit exceptional responsiveness and are committed to going above and beyond to ensure client satisfaction. > The Lews are super responsive and always go the extra mile to keep clients happy. **★★★★★ — LRM PLUMBING CORP, Nov. 2023** > We work as a plumbing contractor for many builders and if we were to recommend one it would definitely be Jeremy Lew & Assoc. They make sure all their projects are completed to the highest standards. Robert and his team are top of the line builders that pay attention to the smallest details and can handle any size projects from residential to commercial. If you need someone with experience and quality definitely contact Robert **★★★★★ — Kaplan Paving Services, Nov. 2023** > We have worked with Jeremy Lew & Associates for a few years. > They are on top of their game, Every time > Highly recommend them **★★★★★ — Marcin Trajgiel, Nov. 2023** > Very professional company. Great , loyal & nicely people, doing a great jobs. Recommend for any work residential or commercial !!! **★★★★★ — jtrubin89, Nov. 2023** > Was very pleased with the service. They are extremely attentive to details, very responsive to questions and updates during the entire process. Not to mention a very clean job site. Would highly recommend. **★★★★★ — jzindell, Jan. 2023** > We recently completed an extensive home remodel project with Jeremy Lew and Associates. Robert and Victor were both easy to work with and helped us navigate the entire remodel process. They were kind and patient when we were indecisive, always kept us updated on the timeline, and were creative and happy to problem solve when we ran into a few bumps in the road. It’s obvious they take great pride in their work and we felt this in every stage of house work. Robert was also on-site every day and was easy to communicate with at all points. > > As we lived in the house during the beginning of the project, we got to know their subcontractors, who were all meticulous in their work and very courteous. They also kept the house very clean for a construction site. > > We are extremely happy with the end result and would use Robert and Victor again in a heartbeat. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Jessica, Thank you for hiring us for your remodeling project. In was a pleasure working with you and designer Elizabeth Stamos. Looking forward to taking some professional photos to post here! > > Wishing you and your family years of happiness in your new home! **★★★★★ — Christina Acampora, Nov. 2022** > Very happy with our choice to use Jeremy Lew and Associates after having interviewed multiple companies for a major addition to our home. Robert evaluated the work on site every day, maintained high expectations over the quality of work from all subs, and a clean job site, and ensured high-quality communications with us throughout the project. The end result was a high-quality job 100% complete with no delays (or days with no activity). We've been through several remodels on our 1980s build and this was by far our best experience. **★★★★★ — Matt Sullivan, Nov. 2022** > Robert and team were very helpful during the entire process. We started by drafting our own proposed plans for the renovation of our first floor, and buildout of our unfinished basement. They met with us to understand our wants, create the stamped drawings, expedite permit approval, and get to work with demo and construction - and the results are great. We're very happy with our new space! **★★★★★ — Jay S, Nov. 2022** > Bob is awesome. He remodeled our master bed/bath and family room. He was there every day to make sure the workers had proper direction and were kept on schedule. He always set our expectations on time, cost, and inconveniences. The job site was kept clean - which is important if you're living in the house while doing construction. He was very generous with his time, helping us with ideas and preventing us from making bad decisions. > > I'd absolutely use him again and have recommended him to friends. **★★★★★ — Beth Collier, Nov. 2022** > Jeremy Lew and Associates came highly recommended to us when it was time to finish our lower level basement and turn it into livable space. We could not have been more pleased with the entire process! Phil, our project manager was the absolute BEST! He was 1000 percent organized, communicative, managing things and our expectations beautifully. We always knew the when’s, where’s and why’s behind what was happening with our build out. He kept us on track with our selections, sending us to equally competent and helpful suppliers for everything we needed to make decisions on. The best complement we can give is to say that when our next project comes up, we know exactly who we will use! It was really just a great experience all around, including the finished space, which is just beautiful! We are beyond happy with the results! > > Beth and David Matteson **★★★★★ — Brooke Long, March 2022** > The biggest sign of a good contractor is one you'd happily call time and time again. I am very happy to give a glowing review to Jeremy Lew and Associates (JLA). In 2018 we purchased a 100yr old fixer-upper in the western suburbs of Chicago, interviewed several contractors, and hired JLA to do the renovation. We were thrilled with the results and worked easily together with Phil Korol, our GC and project manager. Since then we have repeatedly used JLA for projects big and small! Phil is an excellent, honest, smart and patient general manager with great problem solving skills. He has always found creative solutions for our old-house problems, has advised us and helped us save money, and has never upsold us on any features or unnecessary buildouts. He patiently listened to all of my ideas and helped guide us. We stayed within our budgets of time and cost, and when we hit a challenge there was always a very reasonable and timely response. They have curated a healthy rolodex of high-quality subcontractors. They also have an in-house designer and elegant architect (Victor Lew!) should you need those services. They will file permits for you and give advice. Phil is fluent in Polish, and you will find that most of the quality tradespeople in this industry are from Poland so this skill is key. From his subcontractor team we particularly love their talented carpenters, tilers and painters. As with most renovation projects, your costs will be consolidated and labor costs lowered if you plan to do the work all at once versus piecemeal. If memory serves me, they guarantee their work for a 2 year period. We heartily recommend them, and friends of ours have gone on to use JLA as well. **★★★★★ — Erin McGuire, Dec. 2021** > When we decided to renovate our kitchen and master bath, we knew there was no one better than Jeremy Lew & Associates. Victor took our ideas and provided amazing drawings and several options to choose from. Then Robert and his team turned our visions into reality. Everyone associated with our project was extremely professional and easy to work with. We could not be more happy with the finished project and now we are enjoying the kitchen and master bath of our dreams! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you for hiring us Erin. It was great working with you. Absolutely love how beautifully everything came together. Happy Holidays!! **★★★★★ — bfine57, Dec. 2021** > I've used Jeremy Lew and Associates for several projects in the past, so when we purchased a new home in Highland Park, that was our first call. We are fanatical about this company! If all businesses ran this way, the world would be a much easier place. > > Robert Lew assisted us with literally every aspect of our project from making initial suggestions to discussing the designs/finishes, to showing up on-site throughout the entire buildout. Since we were not moved in yet, it was terrific to get regular updates with photos, questions, suggestions, thoughts, etc. > > They consistently exceeded my expectations, and for that reason, I highly recommend Jeremy Lew and Associates! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Ben, Thanks for the positive comments. It's always a pleasure working with you and your family. So happy for you that you found your dream home in HP and allowed us to remodel. All the best to you and your family! **★★★★★ — Ifilledin theblank, Dec. 2021** > We recently worked with Robert and Victor to complete a sunroom addition to our home. We are absolutely thrilled with our space and it has become the new top destination in our home for all family members and guests! In addition to the outstanding design and craftmanship, Robert and his team stood out for their ingenuity, accessibility, and communication. When we presented them with challenges in how we wanted to use the space and integrate it with the rest of our home, they came up with design elements and other suggestions that we never would have thought of, and that truly elevated the space to make it not only functional but stunningly beautiful. They have exceptionally high standards for their work. They also have 100% stood behind their work and were quick to communicate and rectify any issues. We are so happy with our new addition. In 20+ years of homeownership, the most outstanding builders/contractors we've ever worked with! We highly recommend Robert, Victor, and their incredible team! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Lisa, Thank you for hiring my firm for your sunroom addition. I agree it did turn out gorgeous!! Love all your color selections and the custom bench we built-in at the bay window. Wishing you and your family many years of joy in your new sun room. Best Regards, Robert Lew **★★★★★ — HU-454952177, Dec. 2021** > This is Ken Herbert; it has been 9 months since we moved back into house. I just wanted to thank you and all the associates involved in the remodel. I also would like to thank Phil Korol who managed the work site, helping us with various decisions making this project as painless as possible. He was very professional at all times was always available whenever we needed to ask questions, walking us though all the steps to make this happen. Again, thank you for everything. It is like having a new home. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Ken, you are very welcome. We enjoyed working with you and Margo on your full home renovation. You both did a great job staying on top of selections. All the best to you and your family!! **★★★★★ — Ashland Millwork Inc, Dec. 2021** > I have worked with Jeremy Lew & Associates for well over 25 years as a material supplier. They are always very professional and easy to work with. Satisfying their customers is always their number one concern. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Greg, It's been wonderful working with you for 25 years and counting. Ashland Millwork is lucky to have you on their team. **★★★★★ — Carolyn W, Nov. 2021** > We adore our dream sunroom/library and spend all our time in it! Beyond grateful to Robert for his expert and diligent management of the project and timely completion, and to the excellent subcontractors for their beautiful work. We highly recommend Jeremy Lew & Assoc to all! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Carolyn, Your amazing vision made this project a pure pleasure to build. The fireplace and bookcase wall makes this one of my favorite projects of the past several years. Thanks for hiring my firm for your project. Wishing you and your family the best!! Sincerely, Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Gil, Nov. 2021** > We were fortunate to work with Victor, Robert and Phil on our 1st floor renovation. The process was probably the most thorough that we've experienced in renovating homes. Victor and Robert had several proposals for us and we were able to decide on the one that met our needs/wants and more importantly our budget. The pricing was a little higher than some other bids, but the combination of design, engineering and project management all-in-one was well worth the price of admission. The quality of the work was superb with all the sub-contractors being very courteous and professional. Phil was a great project manager keeping us informed of all the upcoming decisions and keeping us on time and on budget. He had several good ideas when a few issues came up. Overall, Jeremy Lew & Associates was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend their services. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Gil, Thank you for hiring our firm for your project. We immensely enjoyed working with you both and bringing Meaghan's vision to life. Professional photos are on the way, I'll forward them to you when they arrive. Enjoy the holidays in your new house! Sincerely, Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Eve F, Nov. 2021** > We recently completed a full kitchen renovation with Jeremy Lew and Associates. They had completed a smaller project for us a year ago (re-construction of our back porch) and we loved working with them and decided to trust them with our kitchen. Start to finish, their work was top notch. We worked with Robert and he was professional, timely, transparent, courteous and kind. We were given written proposals for everything and terms were agreed upon prior to beginning. We worked with Cathy, their kitchen designer, in designing our floor plan and selecting the style and type of cabinets. Cathy has a real eye for layout and design and we could not be happier with her brilliance in our kitchen design (down the pull out step stools disguised as a drawer placed in just the right key areas). Robert was an excellent communicator, we received written updates with the plan and schedule of workers. We moved walls, created a closet, changed plumbing, electrical, you name it. While this was a giant project, we really appreciated how everything was broken down step by step and explained and executed in a manner that was digestible and easy to follow. When issues arose (we had an unexpected leak due to faulty installation of our ice maker (installed by the store where purchased) the crew promptly rectified the issue including re-doing the surrounding floors and replacing a damaged part) We really appreciated the skilled coordination between the multiple players and how everything came together so beautifully in the end. While we hope to never have to do another kitchen renovation, we would work with them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend this fantastic team. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Eve, You and Brad where great to work with. You both knew exactly what you wanted which made this a very enjoyable experience for my team as well. Wishing you all the best and enjoyment in your new kitchen. **★★★★★ — lizgeifman, Nov. 2021** > Victor and Robert Lew did an amazing job helping us reimagine and renovate a 1960s ranch home, creating an updated layout that works perfectly for our new empty nest. Downsizing from a home that was more than double the square footage, Victor redesigned the layout of our 1200 sq. ft. ranch allowing for additional bathrooms, a master closet and home office as well as an open floor plan kitchen/dining room/living room which is perfect for when our kids come home to visit. Robert implemented Victor's plans, updating outdated plumbing, electric, landscaping and hardscaping along the way. We're in love with the tile work, refinished wood floors, kitchen/bath cabinetry and quartz counters. Everything came together perfectly! We look forward to enjoying our stunning new home for many years! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Liz, Thanks for being patient through all of the building dept. delays on getting your permits, I feel it was worth it! The project turned out great thanks to your vision. Wishing you a lifetime of joy in your new home!! Robert Lew **★★★★★ — libbymatteson86, Nov. 2021** > We found Jeremy Lew & Associates through a highly recommended referral who said "We love our contractor!" We are THRILLED we did as the team has gone above and beyond. Our project manager, Phil, is extremely detailed, impeccable with communication, and above everything else we fully trust his direction and guidance as we navigate the changing needs of an older home. He always makes us feel like the priority when we know he has 1000 things going on, in a global pandemic none the less. > > We originally hired them for a fence & wine fridge install (which were completed quickly and without a hitch) and have since expanded to other areas of our home. Coming off a very challenging home renovation in the city with an unprofessional team we were hesitant to take on more projects when we moved to Winnetka but in working with Jeremy Lew we seek out areas to renovate :). We hope to use them for years to come as we couldn't be happier with the whole team and process. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Libby, Thank you for the wonderful review. Phil tells me you were awesome to work with. Wishing you all the best and happiness in your home. **★★★★★ — Renae Grob, Oct. 2020** > We reached out to Jeremy Lew & Associates based on the recommendation of a coworker. And I am so glad we did! > > We had spent 2 years trying to determine whether we wanted to do a 2nd story addition and major renovation of our 1st floor or just buy a new house. Jeremy Lew & Assoc. offered a feasibility study for us to better understand what are options were for a renovation and the related cost. This was exactly what we needed. Victor developed a design that we instantly loved and that really worked for our family. He took into consideration our desires, the budget and the overall design/appearance. He created a design that made the 2nd floor addition feel and look like it was always there (inside and outside.) > > Our project manager, Robert H, was really great to work with. Communication was very clear and timely. He was always on top of everything. No detail got past Robert. He also helped us to make decisions along the way and recommended changes that improved the function, feel and look of our home. The work by the various teams throughout the entire process was seamless and always of the highest quality. > > Every step of the way was executed well, from the design to the finishing touches. They got us back into a beautifully renovated home on time. They were professional, responsive, personal, easy to communicate with, and made our home their priority. I would highly recommend Jeremy Lew & Associates to anyone looking to make improvements to their home. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Renae, > > All of us at Jeremy Lew & Assoc., would like to thank you both for hiring us for your amazing project. Your 2nd floor house addition and remodeling of the entire first floor was structurally complicated, but with the right team players in place, and your vision of knowing exactly what you wanted, we got it done and it turned out beautiful. We wish you all the best and many years of wonderful memories in your new home. > > Sincerely, > > From all of us at JLA **★★★★★ — hales17, Oct. 2020** > We had the Jeremy Lew crew help us with a remodel of our kitchen/dining room and updated our entryway and garage. We found them as they seemed to be the best at design and construction. The team did a great job with communication when we both were away from the house at work. They were very clear about cost/budget once we found unexpected issues and once we expanded the scope of our project. The end result was phenomenal and we'd recommend them for anyone looking to have them design. We had great success with Phil K. as our project manager and Robert L. on the front end. Highly recommend. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Mike & Eileen, > > Thank you for hiring us for your project and for the great review! Phil and I agree it was a pleasure working with you both. Enjoy your home for many many years to come. > > Best Regards, > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Megan Church, Oct. 2020** > In the midst of a global pandemic, Jeremy Lew & Assoc. delivered an exceptional transformation of our 1924 Dutch Colonial. From beginning to end, they handled the unique challenges of a historic, landmark house in a City of Chicago historic district. More importantly, they understood the importance of maintaining the historic integrity of our house while modernizing it for a family of six. Phil Korol, our project manager, paid careful attention to even the smallest details and recommended minor changes and thoughtful touches that have made an enormous difference in how we use our home and how it functions. Their team of craftsmen was meticulous in their construction and finishing work. We knew that we could trust the team to get the job done and to get it done at the highest level. We could not be happier. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Megan, > > Great to hear! it was painstaking work trying to satisfy the historic preservationist we be nailed it(no Pun). I wish you guys all the best and lots of happiness in your new home. > > Sincerely, > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Aviva Schwartz, Oct. 2020** > We are thrilled with our driveway, porch, landscaping project! Robert Lew from Jeremy Lew and Associates was creative, responsive and communicative. The project was adjusted to meet our budget and was on schedule. The staff was friendly and professional. I highly recommend them for home improvement projects. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Aviva, > > Thank you for the compliments. It was great working with you guys and I'm so happy we were able to get all zoning approvals from the city during the start of the pandemic. Can't wait to see the blooms the spring. > > Sincerely, > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Eve F, Oct. 2020** > We used Bob Lew from Jeremy Lew and Associates to build a deck and re-do parts of a screened in porch on our home. We purchased a home this past summer and the 2 story deck was in terrible condition. We got several quotes from several firms regarding what needed to be replaced/re-built. Their pricing was fair, their work ethic was impeccable and the actual work completed was beautiful. The portions of the deck that were salvageable were saved and the portions that needed to be torn down and re-built were done so with better materials, are much more aesthetically pleasing and more durable for the long term. Bob was a pleasure to work with, approachable, easy to reach when needed and clearly knows his stuff. His team of workers were really lovely, they worked hard every day they were on site and worked tirelessly until our project was completed. The work is pristine, beautifully done and perfect. I cannot recommend them highly enough. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Eve, > > Thanks for the review. The deck and screen porch turned out great, enjoy it for years to come. Best Regards, > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — B Scavone, Sept. 2020** > I recently moved out of the house that Jeremy Lew and Assoc designed and built for us 24 years ago. It is hard to express just how much my family enjoyed living in that house. I remember planning it with Jeremy - how much thought he put into how the space could accommodate the flows of family life, the formal versus informal space, and little touches of beauty all around. The space worked just the way we envisioned it. We had plenty of family togetherness in the open floor plan of the kitchen and family room, but could have grownup time in the living room and dining room. Also, the flow made it a wonderful house for parties and entertainment. Guests gathered in the living room to listen to the piano, the dining room for food, the kitchen for drinks, and onto the back deck for a breath of fresh air. I cannot count the number of wedding brunches, birthday parties, graduation picnics, and family holidays I hosted there! And everyone who walked in always commented on what a lovely house I had. Well, life marches on, the kids are out of the house, and life takes new directions. As I sadly say good bye to what was my safe haven for over 20 years I want to say that I absolutely LOVED that house and my family was lucky to live in such a beautiful space. Thank you to the team at Jeremy Lew for all the care they put into planning and building it. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > B Scavone, > > I remember quite well the hours we spent designing, planning and building your house. Coincidentally, I was driving through Park Ridge a couple weeks ago and saw the for sale sign in front of your house. From my car I texted the online pictures of the listing to Jeremy and Victor and we enjoyed a moment of reminiscing from 24 years ago. Even though many years have passed I still remember the intimate details of the house floor plan, construction details and the events happening in my life during this project. Hence, this review practically brought me to tears reading about the beautiful events and happy times your family experienced in this house and that it served its purpose as intended. For us this is really what it’s all about and why we love what we do!! > > Thank you for sharing and all best to you and your family. > > Sincerely, > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Jay Wimberley, Jan. 2020** > We used Jeremy Lew and Associates to add an addition and complete an extensive remodel on our 1926 colonial. They handled everything, from design through completion, without issue and got us back in our home on time. The design and workmanship was excellent, maintaining the original character of the home while still adding modern touches. The entire experience was simply great, we had constant communication with everyone involved and quick resolutions when the inevitable issue did arise. Having Robert, Victor, and Phil (our project manager) available at every step helped alleviate a lot of the stress that goes with these types of projects. I would recommend them with no reservations to anyone looking to remodel their home and look forward to working with them again in the future. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Jay, It was exceptional working with you guys. You're ability to make timely decisions for items that you LOVE contributed to the success of this project. So happy how the kitchen, family room, master suite and 3-car garage addition all laid out. And in my humble opinion the addition looks original to this 90+ year old house. Thanks for great review and I look forward to seeing you and your family around town. **★★★★★ — Brendan Bayliss, Dec. 2019** > We couldn't be happier with the house that Jeremy Lew & Associates built for us this past year. > It is above and beyond what our expectations were when we first met to talk about the project. > The entire experience from meeting the team, to designing the house, and the actual construction was an absolute pleasure. > We never felt anything but comfortable the entire time and would most definitely recommend this team to build your dream home. They are total professionals who deliver a high end product. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Brendan, Thank you so much for the great review and we couldn't be happier that you love the house. Loved, Loved, Loved working with you and Annie!! Your neighborhood is great and I'm sure your kids will grow up with warm and fond memories of the house and neighborhood. Wishing you peace, health and happiness!! All the best **★★★★★ — David Lewis, Dec. 2019** > We first used Jeremy Lew & Associates to build a large, complex deck off the back of our house leading over the ravine (over $100K job). It was so incredible, we offered them the chance to bid on the renovation of our 1931 Spanish Mediterranean (of which we were ready to pull the trigger with another vendor). However, Jeremy Lew & Assoc professionalism, attention to detail and most of all COMMUNICATION sealed the deal for us. We could not be happier and would absolutely use them again! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Dave! you guys were awesome to work with. Glad we were able to deliver on your expectations. Both projects were challenging given the 110 year old age of the house. All the best to you and your family and Happy Holidays! **★★★★★ — HU-724358312, Nov. 2019** > We used Jeremy Lew & Assoc for an expansion of our house earlier this year. They are truly a “one stop” shop, handling everything from design to final inspection. They handled everything without issue even when the city throws curveballs with requirements. Victor was great with the design phase as he provided several options and we were able to take elements of them and come up with what we wanted. Robert and his team of construction workers did an excellent job of creating the new space. We even added on some extras “while we have this apart” to save costs over making changes later. Even though our project was considered “small” they treated us like were as important as a big spending customer. > > I highly recommend them for any house projects **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Dennis, > > Pleasure working with you. The family room and deck area was a great improvement to your homes' functionality. Hope you enjoy the same for many years to come. > > Best, Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Dave Wigodner, Oct. 2019** > We worked with Bob Lew on limited interior remodeling of our 100 year old home including custom details and a bath redo with replacement of all finishes/fixtures/fittings. As an architect, I can be a little demanding - particularly on my own home. And we’ve lived through a couple additions previously. Bob, the office staff, and the various tradespeople worked hard to understand the design and the process we wanted including plenty of interaction between design and the trades. Many of them were excellent craftspeople who cared a great deal about their work without being overbearing or presumptuous. Like any remodel there were a few glitches, but Bob jumped in immediately to see they were addressed. Very happy with both the process and outcome! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Dave, it was a pleasure working with you and creating solutions to your vision for the project. All the best to you and your family! **★★★★★ — HU-169265794, Oct. 2019** > We hired Jeremy Lew to design and build a simple deck and they did a great job. Thanks a lot! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Mark, the deck did turned out beautiful. Appreciate the kind words! > > All the best **★★★★★ — Richard Miller, Oct. 2019** > We had a great experience with the company. Robert was our point person/project manager and he was patient, thoughtful, and overall great to work with. He gave us great design ideas and no pressure. The project work came out great and we'd definitely use his company again for future projects. We highly recommend him to friends and neighbors. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Richard, > > Thanks again for hiring us for your project. You both were wonderful to work with. All the best!! **★★★★★ — HU-678651118, Oct. 2019** > The foyer and front steps our condo had water damage due to a blocked pipe. We had beautiful wood floors and didn’t want to replace the whole room, so Robert came up with a way to create a new walk-in space that has defined the foyer area. He was very precise on how it would look and how long the whole project would last. And it looks great!! More than one guest has told us how much they like the new look. I even asked Robert to help me choose the tile since I had no idea what was a current look that would match our unit and stay true to the style of our 100 year old condo. We are very happy with the results and the quiet professional way that the entire team got the job done. Would definitely recommend Jeremy Lew and Associates. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Bonnie, > > Thank you for great the review. I'm glad this worked out on budget and ahead of schedule. All the best to you and your family! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Cohen, Dec. 2018** > We hired Jeremy Lew to remodel our 1939 home in Wilmette 10 years ago.. We worked with an Architect for the plans. The Lew's were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. > We heard the the horror stories from our friends about working with contractors and did approach this project with some trepidation. Fortunately these stories were not our story. Our Project Manager was a great communicator and kept us in the loop every step of the way. As the crew found some surprises (expected with old home) we were told and given options about how to proceed. We can not be happier about how our addition looked upon completion. We receive many complements on the look of our home from friends. They made this old house comfortable for the needs of today's families. > > We Contacted Lew Assoc., about a water problem in basement a few months ag. They suggested some simple re grading-problem solved. They also suggested a couple other subs to ready our home for sale. Robert was responsive with these little issues and another job well done! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Elizabeth, > > Thank you for the wonderful thoughtful review. I really enjoyed working with you as well. All the best to you and your family! **★★★★★ — HU-139434162, Nov. 2018** > The Lews were extremely professional and prompt in helping us plan out a potential addition to our home. They took a lot of time with us and we really liked working with them. If we end up doing an addition we would seriously consider hiring them. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad our Feasibility Study helped you asses the practicality of your project. Please call if we can help you in the future. **★★★★★ — Reagan Knaus, Nov. 2018** > We did a complete first floor renovation of our 1929 English Tudor, and we are thrilled that we used Jeremy Lew & Associates to do the work. They were fantastic from start to finish--they were trustworthy and so easy to work with, they respected our budget, and the project was completed within the timeframe that was given to us. > > Because our house is so old, there were a lot of structural and design challenges. We had to completely update the plumbing, electrical and HVAC--in some areas, radiators were removed and replaced with heated floors, but the old and new systems have worked together seamlessly. Victor created a beautiful, open floor plan while maintaining the integrity and charm of our old home. Robert and our project manager, Phil, were great communicators and we received weekly updates of what work was to be done so there were never surprises. Our project was completed in late 2017 and they continue to be available to us if we need anything or have any questions. > > I can't say enough about Robert and Victor and their staff--they are fantastic! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Reagan. Your house looks awesome! So honored to have worked with you on this amazing project...I still can't believe the transformation. All the best to you and your family, enjoy it for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Joshua Nankin, Nov. 2018** > Working with Jeremy Lew & Associates was a dream. Robert Lew was extremely detail oriented and took care of every facet of our project. We were the 2nd mikvah project JLA has worked on, and I have to imagine they are expert mikvah builders at this point. Robert worked with our rabbi to ensure all Jewish law requirements were met and worked with us to ensure our project was done on time and on budget. I would recommend JLA to anyone looking for a design and build firm for a similar project. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Josh, I can't tell you how proud I am to have worked with you and the entire community on this neighborhood Mikvah project. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges of conforming to the many Jewish laws and working with you and Rabbi Trieger. Thank you again. **★★★★★ — College Park Athletic Club, Nov. 2018** > We worked with Jeremy Lew & Associates to renovate our entire fitness space at College Park Athletic Club. From start to finish, they were professional, timely, and a pleasure to work with. It's rare to find a group that can manage so many moving parts and deliver a project on time and on budget. They have our trust and our gratitude--we have already hired them for our next project! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Benj, Thanks! I cant wait to start on Phase 2 this summer 2019!! its going to be another amazing transformation. **★★★★★ — Judy Warner, Nov. 2018** > Jeremy Lew & Assoc. replaced 9 of my bedroom windows a few months ago. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Robert Lew determining what my options were and the financial side of the project. His team of workers were incredibly fast, thorough, polite and cleaned up completely when the project was completed. They were VERY specific re: matching the trim of the new windows with the existing woodwork. Not only would I never hesitate to use them again, I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants a extremely professional, affordable and the completion of a project exactly the way you had envisioned it. **★★★★★ — Continental Wall Systems Group Inc, Jan. 2018** > Very professional company. We have collaborated on many projects over the span of several years. Always reliable and the pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Paul Woszczak, Dec. 2017** > We work with Jeremy Lew and Associates on several projects and are always impressed by their professionalism and fair treatment. Robert Lew is a great project team leader and a pleasure to work with. We fabricate and install custom milwork for Jeremy Lew, and this takes a high level of coordination with clients and other building trades. Robert is able to bring all parties involved to a successful conclusion and a project that results satisfied clients. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Paul. Looking forward to working with Chicago Woodwork Design, Inc. another 10 years. **★★★★★ — AJ Virani, Dec. 2017** > We began this journey in 2011 and contracted Jeremy Lew & Associates for architectural work for our home extension. They were consummate professionals throughout the process and provided the drawings to bid out. Fortunately, they are also builders so were in the running to get the job. Their prices weren't the cheapest but also not the most expensive and they will tell you that up front. However, the "you get what you pay for" idiom holds so true for construction. We decided to hold off on the work for a few years and re-visted the idea in 2015. We had few changes that we wanted to incorporate and Victor Lew and Jeremy Lew were very receptive to the changes. We bid the project out once again and decided it made most sense to move forward with Robert Lew w/ Jeremy Lew & Associates for the construction work as well. It made sense since they are family owned business and having a one-stop shop made it easy. The project manager we were assigned is a veteran with the company and also happens to be named Robert. He knew what he was doing and worked extremely well with all their trades and us. I can't say that we had 100% smooth sailings however, we did work through issues and kept the project moving. The project took slightly longer than expected but we did make some changes to enhance the design. All the trades were top notch and they continue to service any minor issues that come up. Overall, I would highly recommend Jeremy Lew & Associates to my friends and family. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > AJ, From all of us at Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc., thank you for the great review. Wishing your family many many happy years in your new home!! **★★★★★ — Esther Geppert, Dec. 2017** > Robert Lew and his staff were very professional and easy to work with. > They even came back to repair damages from a water leak caused by others after the project was completed.

We highly recommend them from a building and design aspect, as their attention to detail all projects, big or small is second to none. There professional staff is always available to answer the pertinent details to ensure all goes smoothly.

Family owned business and I had the pleasure to work with Robert and Victor Lew. Like any big project, there were a couple of surprises. However, there was great communication and true empathy when we realized we were going to miss our summer due to set backs that were very unexpected (ex. The house had no foundation!) We plan to use them again for a third floor addition to the same house. Great quality, good attention to detail and true professionals. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Chris, Many thanks for the great review. We are looking forward to the next project. All the best to you guys!! > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — D Strotman, Dec. 2017** > We are extremely happy with the results of our kitchen, family room and master bathroom remodel.

Our house has some challenges from a design standpoint and Victor was fantastic with coming up with innovative and practical designs. Then Robert took over with the construction plans. It was all very turnkey and they made the process enjoyable. We stayed on time and on budget. We could not be happier with the results and the continued follow up from the company. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Barry, > > Thanks for the great review. You both were fantastic clients and I wish you and your family all the best in your new home!! **★★★★★ — John Belconis, Oct. 2017** > We could not be happier with the amazing job Jeremy Lew and Assoc. did building our dream home. Victor, Robert and the entire team were with us from the beginning process of plans, to the tear down, through the build, until the final light bulb was installed. They were knowledgeable on getting licenses and dealing with city ordinances, and kept our house on schedule. They were, and continue to be, available whenever we have questions, and are there to help. Our home is our very favorite place to be and we thank the Lew brothers for their professionalism and commitment to us. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > John, > > Thank you so much for the compliments. You and Margaret were great to work with. We wish you and your family all the best and many years of happiness!! > > Sincerely, > > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Scott Margolis, Aug. 2017** > Very happy with Jeremy Lew & Assoc!! We recently purchased an 93 year old Cape Cod in Evanston, IL, a few days after we moved in we discovered a major water problem in the basement. The team at Jeremy Lew & Assoc immediately identified the problems and we hired them to install an overhead sewer, interior drain tile, and completely gut the basement. At the same time we decided to hired them to remodel most of the 1st and 2nd floors of our house and insulate the attic. Robert Lew and his project manager spent a great deal of time meeting with us to listen to what we wanted and offer great advice and design options. We found them to be very reachable and pleasant to work with. Project was finished on time and on budget. Although we spent more than we initially expected, the scope increases were requested by us and we are happy we did them. We wish Jeremy Lew & Assoc many years of continued success. **★★ — P PKR, Aug. 2017** > Would not refer Jeremy Lew and Associates to do any project based on contracted paid and unfulfilled work. We are still waiting for completion of basic punchlist and items as deemed required by building inspector for safety. Pella screen door(s) were delivered and remain uninstalled, molding door(s) left uninstalled, exterior door hardware delivered and left uninstalled, hardware broken by contractor acknowledged and no compensation or replacement ordered, multiple exposed wires, underside of entire exterior molding left unpainted-exposed to elements, interior electrical outlets not up to code, final inspections for permits were not scheduled by Jeremy Lew and Associates Inc...Several months of building materials have been left on premises and destroyed our lawn - ongoing initial promises by general contractor to finish work and no communication in recent week(s) from them. Treacherous missing Step on second floor exterior deck is still not built even though the building materials were delivered to our driveway. General Contractor has said Crew would come on specific dates out to finish above listing Items- and they are all no shows and no explanation or rescheduling by contractor. We've paid for materials which have been delivered delivered to our home--upon paying in full the contractor and material fees neither this general contractor nor crews hired by Jeremy Lew and Associates have returned to finish job, nor are they responding. We were repeatedly given specific dates by this company that they are coming to finish work and they have not returned. Unhappy customer. Very disappointed as Jeremy Lew and Associates general contractor was referred to us by Apex Roofing and Construction whom we found to be professional in completing our roof- beggining to end. Completely baffled by excuses by Jeremy Lew and Associates Inc. Vacations etc to why the project we have paid for has started but was left unfinished There is substantial punch list this company that they agreed to complete; we are left with safety issues by work left uncompleted. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Pam, we would like to thank you for hiring us for the design and build of your terrace and porch addition to your home. Like most old homes this project had its fair share of challenges including, among other things, ensuring the design of the terrace and details of the construction perfectly blended with the original architecture of your 100+ year old colonial brick home. Another challenge we encountered during framing was the discovery of severe wood degradation of the structural walls of the porch and mold growth along the existing window jambs. With our expertise, we were able to quickly consult with our structural engineers, create a remediation plan, and implement the changes with the building department all within a few days time. Even though you are unsatisfied with our handling of the Punch List phase of the project, we are very happy that you are satisfied with the design and quality of construction we have provided. > > We are deeply concerned with your interpretation of our handling of the few remaining punch list items that you have commented on. One of the most challenging aspects of our job is to properly inform our clients on the process of designing and building an addition as well as managing expectations and clearly explaining the ‘Closeout’ process of every project. After reading your comments we realize more time should have been spent explaining the time frame needed for completion of the punch list items and will keep this in mind for future projects. > > We would like to address the specific comments you have made, some of which are gross misrepresentation of facts. We’ve spent the past few days investigating and gathering facts of each and every one of your claims and have found that many of the items you list here are untruthful. The most serious accusation you make, “final inspections for permits were not scheduled by Jeremy Lew and Associates Inc”, is completely false and untrue. Not only did we schedule the final inspection, our project manager walked through the house with the building inspectors and passed all but one of the final inspections. We have physical copies of inspection reports from Friday July 21st, which we can forward to you. You can also contact the Winnetka building department for further confirmation. > > We are fully aware of the remaining punch list item “Pella screen door(s) were delivered and remain uninstalled”, and have notified you that this item will be installed Tuesday August 22nd. > > In response to your comment “underside of entire exterior molding left unpainted-exposed to elements” was COMPLETED on Monday August 14th, before you wrote this review. > > Your comment “Treacherous missing Step on second floor exterior deck is still not built even though the building materials were delivered to our driveway”, the step from the existing 2nd floor to the new terrace addition has a rise of 8”. During the final inspection, the inspector requested we reduce the rise of the step to 7 ¾”…a ¼” difference and my carpenters are scheduled to make this minor adjustment on Tuesday August 22nd. > > In response to your comment “molding door(s) left uninstalled, exterior door hardware delivered and left uninstalled”, have been COMPLETED, before you wrote this review. > > In response to your comment “Several months of building materials have been left on premises and destroyed our lawn”, this is true; however, you fail to mention that we agreed to repair your lawn which has already been COMPLETED on Monday August 14th. > > Regarding the comment “interior electrical outlets not up to code, multiple exposed wires”, we believe these are items have been completed during the ‘Trim-out’ stage, since the village inspectors have passed the FINAL electrical inspection on Friday July 21. However, it is possible the inspector and/or our electrical contractor missed something, if that is the case, please submit a ‘Service Request’ with photo of the exposed wires to my email, so that I can schedule the electrician today or tomorrow. > > We were also surprised by your comment “upon paying in full the contractor and material fees neither this general contractor nor crews hired by Jeremy Lew and Associates have returned to finish job, nor are they responding”, as we have corresponded several times about this and completed many of the punch list items since we received final payment on Monday July 31. > > As of today Monday August 21, we have 3 remaining punchlist items to complete at your house, scheduled for Tuesday August 22. As a reminder, per our contract, you have a 1 year warrantee for the material and labor of the work we have completed. Should any problems arise within the new addition during the next 12 months or if you find a missed punchlist item, do not hesitate to email me a description and photo(if possible), so that we can schedule our crews to make whatever repairs are necessary. > > We do our very best to please each and every client while maintaining our high standards of design and construction. This is demonstrated by our Houzz profile where we have 39 – 5 star reviews. One of the main directives of our firm is to not only provide excellent design and remodeling services, but to be extraordinarily respectful of our clients’ investment. Through our detailed proposals, we ensure that our clients are well informed from the start, including important details of their project, the scope of work to be completed and the anticipated project duration. We provide this so that our clients can make an informed decision before selecting our firm for their design and remodeling needs. We have spent years developing a process that offers our clients convenience, transparency, clear communication, quality, knowledge and, above all, inspired design and construction. We regret that we could not better satisfy Pam during the construction process and wish her many years enjoying her beautiful new porch and terrace. **★★★★★ — Christine Hill, April 2017** > I highly recommend this builder! He did a sun room addition for us and delivered the project on time and with attention to detail. The sun room became our favorite room in the house. It was a pleasure to work with him. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you for the great review Christine!! all my best to Howie and the kids. **★★★★★ — Mark Collins, March 2017** > It has been a number of years since our addition was completed, yet a week does not go by when I don't think of the fantastic results we live in now and through our entire project with Jeremy Lew and the entire crew. > We all have heard the horror stories of home additions...things go wrong which jacks up the cost out of budget...contractors don't show up for days at a time....the completion date is a mystery.... Let me say that NONE of these were ever an issue. From deciding on which plan to go forward with, to breaking ground, to completion, we always knew what was going on today, and what would be happening next week. We had to know. We were living in our house throughout the entire process. > The people working on our home were super-knowledgeable, high-level crafts & tradesmen. I watched them in awe and kept a daily record of the results. I was so appreciative, I kept a daily supply of coffee, snacks and drinks available for them just as an extra "thank you'. I say daily because there was rarely a weekday when someone wasn't hard at work here. Neighbors and friends would stop by to watch and marvel at the results. In fact, the folks across the street hired JL&A to do their addition after seeing our results! > I could go on and on about how Robert kept in constant contact or how the workmen would take that minute to explain to my kids and their neighborhood friends what they were doing, or even how I needed a few other things done on our home years later and called JL&A for great referrals. They not only built our home, they built a relationship. > I am happily writing this in my favorite spot at our kitchen counter, and still enjoying every inch of our home! > I guess everyone can tell that my strong suggestion would be to go with Jeremy Lew & Associates for any project. You will be happy you did! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Mark, > > So glad to hear from you after all these years and thrilled to hear you are still enjoying your home!! You both are wonderful people and deserve only the best in life!! Much appreciated. **★★★★★ — David Cohen, Jan. 2017** > We selected Jeremy Lew & Associates to do a major remodel of our home. Their entire team, led by Robert Lew, was solid from start to finish. Robert was on site every work day, accessible 24/7 and always willing to take time to explore various options to find the best fit. Best of all, they stuck to the schedule and finished on time. Would highly recommend them for any remodel. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > David, > > Thank you for the great review. You and Robyn did a great job with your selections and interior decorating. All the best!! Robert **★★★★★ — Moshe Davis, Jan. 2017** > Although it has been a number of years since my job was completed, I still think highly of Robert Lew and his whole firm. They did a great job rebuilding my home nearly 10 years ago, and they are still available if i have any questions or concerns. The project was completed at budget and in exactly the time frame estimated, to the day. Many friends still comment on the layout and the design ideas. We are lifelong happy customers. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Moshe, time does fly but I still remember your house like the back of my hand. Thank was a great project, thank you again for hiring us. All the best. Robert **★★★★★ — Rob Halliday, Jan. 2017** > Robert Lew did a great job for us. Basically he rebuilt our whole house. He and his project manager were always available and prompt at answering our questions and resolving the many decisions that inevitably come up. They smoothly dealt with any changes we made and were always upfront about the costs we would incur to avoid any surprises. > We actually moved out for 6 months while they worked. A third car garage was added, an open floor plan was made out out 3 smaller rooms. A beautiful kitchen with jumbo island was added that was designed to hold all my wife's relatives (60 to 70) all at once since that's where they always end up. A 2 zone heating/cooling system was added, about 90% of the windows were replaced, a large front porch, new flooring throughout, all new electrical and plumbing, and on and on. > Every day here we have been pleased with the job J. Lew and Associates did!! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Rob, > > Thank you for the kind words. Your house did turn out amazing thanks to yours and Sue's vision and talent in interior decorating!! Wishing you all the best...Robert **★★★★★ — Orah Katz, Jan. 2017** > From start to finish, Robert Lew and the staff at JL were always thoughtful, honest, creative and willing to go the extra mile during our home renovations. Our family (at the time 5 people, now 6) still appreciates suggestions Robert and Victor made that we implemented (a 3rd story play space, an extra bathroom). We were always kept in the loop about progress and every crew was respectful of our family living in the house in the midst of construction. They also tolerated 3 very curious boys (and 1 curious father) who always had a question for them.The entire project ran smoothly and on time. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering renovations on their home. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you Orah, we enjoyed working with all of you as well. Glad to hear you're still enjoying the house. All the best to the Katz family! Robert **★★★★★ — M O, Jan. 2017** > JL renovated our small 3 bedroom split level home. We moved out for 7 months. They did an excellent job. Robert and his team were easy to work with. Professional, honest and quality work. If a problem arose, Robert (and our project manager) addressed it immediately and offered solutions. They worked well with our architect, Robert was respectful of our budget and did not try to talk us into anything he did not think we needed, We were so pleased with the work that five years later when we added a fireplace and built ins to our family room JL did the work - again an excellent job on a much smaller scale. Would highly recommend Jeremy Lew and Associates. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Marla, Thank you so much for the review. We enjoyed working with you and Dan on your project. All the best to you and your family! Robert **★★★★★ — J Micek, Nov. 2016** > Victor and Robert Lew and the entire team were professionals from the very start. Their attention to detail and sensitivity to our needs as a family set them apart from others that we've used. They transformed our 100+ year old house into a true home that meets the needs of our family. We would recommend JeremyLew in a heartbeat. We have worked with many contractors in the past and none have lived up to our experience with JeremyLew. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Jennifer & Adam, We really enjoyed working with you and bringing your vision for this "old" house to life. I absolutely love the connection between the kitchen and family room addition, coffered ceilings, and mudroom lockers. It turned out perfect. Happy holidays to you and your family! **★★★★★ — jong88, June 2016** > We selected JL to help with a project that turned out to be a total rehabilitation of a 30 year-old downsized home that we recently purchased vs. a “sprucing-up”. Prior to our final contractor selection, we did our due diligence and contacted previous Jeremy Lew clients. We were impressed with the many positive responses we received. From the very beginning of the project with conceptual ideas to actual architectural drawings and construction permits, we felt totally supported by the JL team. During this initial phase of the project we spent fair amount of time with Victor and Robert coming up with a realistic project plan that took into consideration our budget and design wants/needs. During the many discussions, the JL team provided us with much needed advise regarding design and material options. This was a fairly time consuming process as we worked through the various options, but resulted in a very usable finished product us. > > Once the actual remodeling project was underway (demolition, reconstruction, etc.) the entire team was professional and we felt very comfortable with them in our house. As with any project, there were times when we needed to modify/amend what was planned. This was done so timely and with a great deal of information along with options provided by the LJ team. Here again, their guidance was appreciated and welcomed by us. > > Overall, we were very pleased with our decision to use Jeremy Lew and with the final project outcome. In conjunction with their team, we were able maximize our available space and were able to implement workable and interesting design options. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail is evident in the finished product. They were easy to work with and very responsive to issues and changes that arose during the project as well as to our many questions. Bottom-line, we would have no hesitation using Jeremy Lew again should the circumstances arise. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Karen & Jay, Thank you so much for the review. Victor, Phil and myself really enjoyed working with you both. I am most pleased with the layout changes we made to the kitchen, master bath and laundry room spaces. Even though we had little room to spare the subtle floor plan revisions completely transformed the functionality of those spaces. I wish you both the best and many years of happiness! > > Sincerely, > Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Steve and Linda Lavenda, May 2016** > Not only did Victor and Robert understand our idea to purchase an old home and enhance it - they gave us architectural and cost options. We bought the house and had a great adventure working with both of them along with their program managers, construction crews and vendors. From getting permits to braining storming options on engineering issues we always felt we got great advice and the expertise needed. They understood what we wanted this house to be. They designed it to exceed our expectations yet within our budget and the house was ready when we needed it to be ready. The neighbors near and far admire the architectural integrity of the new house. Our guests are impressed at the proportions and flow not to mention the classic details from 1930 that were maintained and restored. We have an elegant home in large part because the Lews did an excellent job. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Linda and Steve, the vision was all yours, I'm glad we helped make it a reality. You are wonderful people and I hope all the best for you and your family! **★★★★★ — Greg McQuillan, May 2016** > I have been working with Jeremy Lew & Associates for almost 20 years. They are professional, ethical and they do quality work. It's a pleasure working with them and I would recommend them looking for an architect, a contractor or both! **★★★★★ — Cathy Sparling, May 2016** > C Spar Designs, Inc, continues to have the pleasure of working directly with Robert and Victor on many remodel and new construction projects for the last 15+ years. Everyone is very knowledgeable, fair and respectful with every design and construction phase. Collaborating with the design team is key, a successful step any clients' can count on, with Jeremy Lew & Associates. The result is a beautiful, long lasting, custom home or remodel project. **★★★★★ — kpugliani, May 2016** > We are happy to recommend Jeremy Lew and Assoc. We designed and built our new home with them last year. They were professionals from start to finish and we are very happy with the outcome. Having had no experience in designing or building a home we were not sure what to expect. They made the experience as pain free and as pleasant as possible. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks for the review, your house turned out amazing!! I couldn't be happier with the final results, as I'm sure you both are as well. Wishing you and your family years of happiness and fond memories!.. All the best Robert Lew **★★★★★ — Michelle Gaynor, May 2016** > There isn't a day that goes by that we do not think about how happy and thrilled we are with our addition built by Jeremy Lew!! That made our DREAM HOUSE come true!!! It was certainly an overwhelming project for us since we knew nothing about construction or design!! But Jeremy Lew had all the patience in the world, working with us every step of the way! We never felt pressured or rushed---so very important when one has so many decisions to make. We definitely got our money's worth and will highly recommend Jeremy Lew to everyone who is considering an addition to their home. Their professionalism and knowledge goes unmatched!!!! Again------Thank you, Jeremy Lew for all you do! > You've made so many people happy!! So glad we found you!! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you for the great review Michelle! It was nice seeing you the other day. House looks great. **★★★★★ — Meg Kostyk, May 2016** > We fully expected to be stressed living through an addition (family room plus kitchen expansion) that would leave us without a kitchen for an extended period of time. Jeremy Lew had a very professional team that made this process much easier. All contracted work crews were also respectful of our home and our neighborhood. We did end up about 20 percent above projected cost which is pretty normal from what we researched. We felt there were delays in getting our project started once we signed the contract, but once it did start, the project was completed within the expected period of time. We are so happy with the results and would recommend them to others. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Meg! you guys were awesome clients. All the best and enjoy your new home! **★★★★★ — Ben Fine, May 2016** > I am pleased to recommend Jeremy Lew and Associates and share my overwhelmingly positive experience. > > I’m not always the easiest person to please. I know this because throughout my life I’ve been called overly-critical or “picky.” When I go to a restaurant, I expect my food to be right the first time and for the service to be outstanding…at a minimum. I should be able to focus on the fun experience I am having with my guests, not being distracted by a waiter that disappeared when we need more bread or a chef that under-cooked my steak. Everything needs to be working in concert. That concerted effort is exactly the experience I had with Jeremy Lew and Associates. > > Working with JL&A was a pleasure. From the back office staff, to the project manager, to the tradespeople working inside of my home, everyone clearly had the same goal. That goal wasn’t just creating a beautiful final product; it included HOW that final product was achieved. From the initial meeting and all the way through the final punch list review, I could feel how important I was to them. Their team took the time to listen to me and they followed through properly on every detail. My project included installation of new floors, walls, painting, fixtures, a new staircase and a long list of other small items. Everything was completed on-budget and they actually finished the project earlier than projected. > > From start to finish, they were professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future. Kudos to Jeremy Lew and Associates for a job well-done! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Ben. I really appreciate your glowing review. Looking forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — Kipnis Architecture + Planning, May 2016** > Jeremy Lew & Assoc. built a project that we designed for a client in Glenview, IL. It was a rehab project that entailed integrating several key features into the existing home. JLA handled the project perfectly, both technically and aesthetically and kept us informed of all relevant construction events. I will be looking to work with them again in the near future and would highly recommend them for their professionalism. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Nathan thank you for the kind words, I truly enjoyed working with you and your staff on this great project. Looking forward to working with you again soon. Best Regards **★★★★★ — Greg Case, May 2016** > Jeremy Lew & Associates have worked with me & Alexander Lumber for over 15 years. Friendly, knowledgeable & professional are just a few words to describe everyone at Jeremy Lew. Robert, Victor and their staff members are very organized and detail oriented. They work to ensure that each project runs smoothly, on budget & completed on time. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Greg, you make it easy...Looking forward to another 15 years! **★★★★★ — jtrubin89, May 2016** > Very good with detail and follow up. Would definitely recommend Jeremy Lew & Associates to others and work with them again. **★★★★★ — Larry Rivlin, May 2016** > Jeremy Lew and Associates designed and built my house in Highland Park with GREAT results!!! All the work was done on time and within the budget we set! > They stood behind their work and solved any issues that came up. > Highly recommended!!! **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you Larry. This was a fun split level addition project, great master suite and kitchen/family room below. **★★★★★ — Gabriel Antman, May 2016** > The whole experience was a real pleasure. Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc. came up with a great design for our second-story addition and then executed the building plan in a timely, cost-effective manner. Never had to worry about "lost days" - there was always a full crew of workers on the project. And they do great quality work - very few punch-list items. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks for the review Gabe. You and Beth were great clients to work with! **★★★★★ — L&M Interiors, May 2016** > Jeremy Lew and Associates exceeded our expectations during the duration of our 8 month house renovation. From start to finish, the team at Jeremy Lew were professional, fun to work with and most importantly, collaborative. They brought a very complex project in on time...to the day!!!! I have referred the Lew brothers to many friends and sing their praises often. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you Molly for the great review!. We really enjoyed working with you on your project. **★★★★★ — apapassavas, June 2015** > We originally used Jeremy Lew and associates for a rehab and addition for our two-story home in 2012. We were so thrilled with their work that we recently hired them to finish our basement. The quality of their work, design, and work ethic are outstanding. Victor was our architect for both projects and did an amazing job incorporating what we wanted into the space we have and making sure the house is easy to navigate for an older parent. They also have one of the hardest working crews we have seen. Robert and his crew were also extremely accommodating and understanding of a few changes we made during our recent basement project. We could not have been happier with the outcome of both of our projects and would highly recommend them to anyone considering any type of home construction or improvement project. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thank you for glowing review! It was a pleasure work with you again. All the best and hope you enjoy your beautiful basement for years to come! Robert Lew **★★★★★ — rstarck1, June 2015** > We hired Jeremy Lew & Associates in 2006 after meeting with 3 other contractors. We were very impressed with other work they had done, and felt their style matched our specifications. Jeremy Lew & Associates helped convert our 3 bedroom colonial (with a detached garage), to a 5 bedroom colonial with an attached garage. Robert, Victor, and Wojtek were very accommodating, and completed the work in a timely fashion (which we all know is key to a successful project!). > > An attestation to their work, is the fact that my in laws hired them shortly after our work was complete! > > Thank you Jeremy Lew & Associates! **★★★★★ — saltfeld, May 2014** > Jeremy Lew and Associates did a major remodel of our 1938 home that included a new kitchen, laundry room, garage and study. We were extremely happy with them, their whole team and the final product. Every problem was handled promptly and professionally. Two years ago, we chose to work with them again to remodel our master bath. Once again, we were impressed with their workmanship and are very happy with our home. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Thanks Susan, I too enjoyed working with you and Lee on your beautiful historic home. Kudos to Bud Diedrich on a fantastic design! **★★★★★ — joelgordon, April 2014** > My wife and I hired Jeremy Lew & Assoc in 2005 to do a major renovation on our home. We were living in a three bedroom ranch and we wanted to put up a second level. Often times, these types of renovations are harder on the builder than building a home from the ground up because they often don't know the condition of the home until they get under the hood, or in this case, the walls and floors. Robert and Walter were great to work with. We had to deal with a few things out of our control such as bad weather, a few surprises, and village delays but we were back in our home within nine months which was pretty much on schedule. Robert is a nice, straightforward, and calm person to work with in what could be a very emotional project. It's been 7 1/2 years since we've been back in the house and we couldn't be happier. > > Joel Gordon **★★★★★ — yeshkop, April 2014** > Jeremy Lew and Associates built our home five years ago. The design, construction and timeliness were all extraordinary. It was a pleasure working with consummate professionals who understood our needs and tastes, and came up with creative solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also sensitive to our budgetary solutions. **★★★★★ — bethwhnp, April 2014** > Robert Lew was an amazing contractor for our addition. He was creative with our plans, very patient with all our changes and promised us 6 months and finished TO THE DAY!! It was a pleasure to work with him and if I had any work to do in the future would only use his firm. **★★★★★ — Tracy Morgan, April 2014** > Jeremy Lew and associates did both the great architecture and the building for my house. > Great company to work with, very professional! The job was done before the projected date and the price was competitive. **★★★★★ — hindyfeiner, April 2014** > Jeremy Lew & associates designed and built our beautiful home. It was a true pleasure working with them. their professionalism, experience, competence, and pleasant demeanor were apparent throughout the entire process. Their efficient workmanship was of the highest standard and they stood behind every last detail, ensuring an enduring and beautiful home which we are proud of and comfortable in. Their honesty and integrity were matched by their exceptional creativity and craftsmanship. > We highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — jklein2601, April 2014** > Initially, Jeremy Lew & Associates did an extensive remodel that included expanding the footprint of our home and building out three floors - including bathrooms and the kitchen. We chose them over a number of other reputable firms because of their creative design ideas and honest approach to quoting the job. > > That was almost 10 years ago . . . > > Since then, due to the extremely positive experience we had, we have used them to do every home improvement task we can think of. > > What was so positive? (1) Excellent product; (2) Smooth and efficient project management; (3) appropriate price. **★★★★★ — nsvido, April 2014** > Jeremy Lew & Assoc. designed and built my dream home. Throughout all the stages of this very large project I was treated as a very important person whose needs should be met in the best possible way. I felt that I could fully trust Robert Lew and Robert Holubek to solve any unexpected problems and obstacles which are common in the building process. > > I would recommend Jeremy Lew & Assoc to my friends and family. I feel like I made friends with the people who built my house. > > Natalya **★★★★★ — slupovitch, April 2014** > After interviewing several other contracting firms we hired the Lew family for our construction/renovation project. > We had used another architect but, found Jeremy and Victor's incites very helpful. They paid careful attention to lighting and sight lines that another "higher priced" architect had not seen. We appreciate these changes until today. > Robert was a consummate professional. He took the time to get a feel for our interests in terms of style, materials and budget. From start to finish work was on time and on budget. He walked us through the village "appearance committee" without a hitch. > There were many "change orders" along the way but, each was discussed carefully. He anticipated our future needs such as teenage daughters and water pressure. > There were regular calls and updates. > Even since then he has been available with our questions and concerns. > I would recommend him strongly. **★★★★★ — leons5, April 2014** > This was a project of love which took over a year to design and 9 months to build. Throughout the whole process Robert lew (and our awesome site manager Wojtek ) were there to walk us threw all the tremendously complicated steps of renovating an entire house and large addition with MUCH patience and good humor. It's not to say that things didn't go wrong. But when it did, we worked it out together respectfully. I would hire them again in a second! Great work. It was an honor to deal with you. We love our house **★★★★★ — sjnmck, April 2014** > We began our collaboration with Jeremy Lew & Asoc. from initial design concept, to drawings and ultimately construction. This firm is the very essence of the Design/Build value. From our beginnings with the creativity of architect Victor Lew, to the fair and measured bidding process with contractor Robert Lew and finally the efficient, detailed project management of Robert Holubek we were well cared for at every level of our home renovation. In fact, since our completion in 2011 the few issues we've had were met with prompt response. We have recommended the firm in the past and will continue to do so in the future, our confidence in them has never been misplaced. **★★★★★ — Bonnie Whyte, April 2014** > Jeremy Lew and Associates remodeled my home in Park Ridge. They did an outstanding job on all fronts. Robert Lew was the construction manager and was completely sensitive to my needs and wishes given it was a very large project. Victor Lew designed the most beautiful structure imaginable. The crews were amazing. They were talented, reliable and extremely respectful of my family and the property. Although this may sound like a review from a family member of the Lews, I can assure you that as a healthcare professional in the Park Ridge area I am not a family member but Jeremy Lew and his associates do make you feel like family when they begin your home construction. I recommend Jeremy Lew and Associates without reservation!!!! **★★★★★ — leslee23, April 2014** > I cannot say enough good things about working with Robert Lew, as our builder, and his brother Victor, as our architect. We added a master suite to our home and, in the process, reconfigured the entire second floor. I loved that at our first meeting, they looked at our downstairs and said "don't tell us that you intend to touch this part of the house--it's gorgeous." That gave me the confidence right from the start that they were not looking to spend more of our money than we were. The process was a pleasure start to finish. They were creative with ideas, responsive to our calls, reliable in terms of showing up (and their subcontrators were too), clean and respectful. It has been several years since our project was completed and if we call with any questions or needs they are immediately there for us. I cannot imagine a better contractor. **★★★★ — Mary Kay Gill, April 2014** > We used the Lew's for two projects. The first was a 1600sq ft addition to a 1929 Tudor. The project completely updated the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and windows as well as a reconfigured the floor plan. The second was a 500sq ft remodel of our basement which included the installation of a bathroom and kitchenette. > > The Lew team was very knowledgeable on the various construction techniques and the issues inherent in a remodel. Victor developed creative, practical solutions. Robert successfully coordinated the execution. We found them to be trustworthy and highly accountable for cost-effective and quality solutions. There were inevitable mistakes along the way but they successfully resolved all problems in a collaborative manner. **★★★★★ — Debby Scheck, Feb. 2014** > We worked with Jeremy Lew and his sons to design and build our home 15 years ago. They were very responsive to our suggestions and incorporated many of our ideas into the plan. They were efficient and we completed the project on time. It was a great experience. **Comment from Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.:** > Debby, Thank you for the kind words!! It was great working with you and Craig, the house looks great after all these years. All the best to you and your family. ## Selected projects - [Oak Park - Interior Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oak-park-interior-remodel-pj-vj~7705454) - Location: Oak Park, IL - Photos: 25 - [River Forest - Interior Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-forest-interior-remodeling-pj-vj~7705449) - Location: River Forest, IL - Photos: 8 - [Oak Park - New Construction Community Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oak-park-new-construction-community-residence-pj-vj~7705445) - Location: Oak Park, IL - Photos: 8 - [Highland Park \| Contemporary Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-contemporary-home-remodel-pj-vj~7522701) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 39 - [Highland Park \| Brick Colonial Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-brick-colonial-home-remodel-pj-vj~7421040) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 18 - [Park Ridge, IL. - Kitchen Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-ridge-il-kitchen-remodeling-pj-vj~7321114) - Location: Park Ridge, IL - Photos: 10 - [Glencoe - 1 Story House Addition, Remodeling of Entire House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glencoe-1-story-house-addition-remodeling-of-entire-house-pj-vj~7321100) - Location: Glencoe, IL - Photos: 15 - [Winnetka - 2 Story House Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/winnetka-2-story-house-addition-pj-vj~7321088) - Location: Winnetka, IL - Photos: 24 - [Park Ridge, IL - 2 Story House Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-ridge-il-2-story-house-addition-pj-vj~6848533) - Location: Park Ridge, IL - Photos: 24 - [Northbrook, IL - Sun Room Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/northbrook-il-sun-room-addition-pj-vj~6848546) - Location: Northbrook, IL - Photos: 13 - [Highland Park, IL - Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-il-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6848555) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 23 - Description: Kitchen Remodeling - [Park Ridge, IL - Interior Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-ridge-il-interior-remodeling-pj-vj~6848537) - Location: Cortland, IL - Photos: 17 - [Riverwoods, IL - New Construction Colonial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverwoods-il-new-construction-colonial-pj-vj~5573090) - Location: Riverwoods, IL - Photos: 12 - [Chicago, IL. - Penthouse Condo Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-il-penthouse-condo-remodeling-pj-vj~2969758) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 9 - [Lake Forest, IL. - 2 Story House Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-forest-il-2-story-house-addition-pj-vj~2760999) - Location: Lake Forest, IL - Photos: 13 - [Northbrook - 2nd floor house addition/remodeling of existing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/northbrook-2nd-floor-house-addition-remodeling-of-existing-pj-vj~2789715) - Location: Northbrook, IL - Photos: 8 - [Highland Park, IL. - Tudor 2 Story House Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-il-tudor-2-story-house-addition-pj-vj~2271642) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 19 - [Park Ridge, IL. - 2nd Floor House Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-ridge-il-2nd-floor-house-addition-pj-vj~2271735) - Location: Park Ridge, IL - Photos: 7 - [Park Ridge, IL. - Victorian Masterpiece New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-ridge-il-victorian-masterpiece-new-construction-pj-vj~1808455) - Location: Park Ridge, IL - Photos: 29 - [Northbrook, IL. - Condominium Interior Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/northbrook-il-condominium-interior-remodel-pj-vj~2271615) - Location: Northbrook, IL - Photos: 9 [See all 38 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/jeremy-lew-and-assoc-inc-pfvwus-pf~662930236) ## Community Q&A **Q: The seating** *(in Photo Questions)* Is just lovely.
