Jeremy Lew & Assoc., Inc.

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.

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.

Amazing work! 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!
