Lakeside made the remodel of my parents house an easy process. When I asked for opinions on colors they were honest and very helpful.Answered all my questions promptly. I am very happy with the transformation of the remodel.

Highly recommend this company. They are very professional. We have used them twice now for rather large jobs and will use them again.

Poor communication and lack of coordination are the reasons for the poor score with Lakeside. We signed the contract in April of 2022, and our project included siding demolition and installation, a powder bathroom refresh and a kitchen refresh.Siding scope was scheduled to begin but after three weeks following the date, we had to reach out to Lakeside to learn the status of our project since we never received communication.Kitchen refresh was scheduled to begin mid-September. Then it was pushed to the middle of October. By the end of October, after no work had been started, we had to reach out to Lakeside to learn the status of our project. Numerous times the project was delayed beyond the dates we were given, and more times than not, we had to be the ones to reach out to Lakeside to get an update. Activity on our kitchen did not begin until February 15, four months after the initial scheduled date.Poor craftsmanship on the subway tile grouting. Workers were self-proclaimed “terrible tile installers” which was evident in their poor workmanship. Lakeside said they would make it right, which they did; however, some days when the workers arrived, they worked for a couple of hours and said they were called off to go to another project. I had to adjust my work schedule for an entire week to align with the workers being at the house while they fixed the grout by scraping it off the tile.Appliance installation was not coordinated despite going with the company recommended by Lakeside. The electrical outlet for the new microwave was not installed for the required electrical demand and the openings in the existing cabinetry were not modified to accommodate the new appliances. These warranted multiple visits, which, once again, required me to adjust my work schedule to align with the workers being at the house.On the flip side, Rachel, the interior designer, was fantastic to work with! She was very communicative and responsive to our questions. She really understood our style and she made it difficult to select which option to move forward with because she offered up so many fantastic ideas that fit our taste in design. She also went above and beyond her role and responsibilities by trying to help us with the communication issues we experienced by offering to reach out on our behalf to the Project Manager.The gentleman they contracted for the cabinet work was also fantastic. He was very gentle with moving cabinets, and he fixed a gouge in our existing cabinets made during the countertop installation. A true craftsman and professional carpenter.In the end, the kitchen, bathroom and siding all look great and Lakeside rectified the issues we had; however, the lack of communication and lack of coordination was very aggravating. In hindsight, I understand that Lakeside was attempting to limit the amount of time we would be without a functioning kitchen, but the promises made, and the lack of follow-through are really the issues at hand here. I had not planned to serve as a General Contractor during the project considering we went with a higher cost design builder who promised a “turnkey” project.

We've used Lakeside for siding, windows and an addition to our house over the course of several years. They perform quality work and honor their workmanship with a great warranty. Many companies perform well on the initial install, but if issues arise after you have paid them, they are then impossible to get a hold of. This is what differentiates Lakeside. They answer your call and work to resolve any outstanding issues. They actually care about their customers. This is why they will continue to receive my business in the future.

Our experience with Lakeside Renovation & Design was great. We called Lakeside because they previously installed our James Hardie siding. We love our new Provia entry and storm doors. Our salesman, Andy Young was helpful in designing the door. The installers, Nick and Matt did a great job. Customer service response from Candice was above and beyond! Everyone we encountered was super nice and responsive. We highly recommend Lakeside!

Our porch overhang and under deck system was the second job we had Lakeside complete for us. As usual, from sales, project manager to crew everyone was knowledgeable, courteous and showed up when we were told they would. They completed our job in the time frame we were given. I honestly wish we hadn’t waited so long to do this project as it exceeded my expectations. Since the first project was a complete renovation of our main floor and basement, I have run out of renovation projects for them to do. However, if I come up with another project, they will be the first company I call.

Lakeside is the best home improvement, design, and construction company in the area. Every person who worked on our project was professional, helpful, courteous and nice. We could not be more pleased with the outcome of our project (outdoor patio with overhang). Thank you Matt, Shawn, Garrett, Jeremy, Dan, Adam, Corey, John, Eddy, and everyone else that worked on our project. This will definitely enhance our family living space for years to come.

Although we started a little bumpy with Lakeside the final projects were completed and wonderful. We started with new Hardie board on the house, then continued on with new windows. Followed by a new walk with stamped concrete and a new portico. I designed the portico and after some amended plans and two times to the variance board we were set to go. the results of the house were amazing! It took a while but the results were well worth the wait. A special shout out to Brian Sutton, Jeremy, and Bill - the clean up guy. Would use them again and appreciate all that they have done.On an additional project for another client we met with and replaced all the fully sided siding with Hardie Board and the results were excellent. The attention to detail on this project from Brian, Will and Matt were perfect. Lakeside also corrected some old pillars and painting and really focused on the old columns.As you can see from above that, yes, I would use them again.Services: Window installation

We recently contracted Lakeside to work on our extensive interior and exterior projects consisting of renovation of several rooms to include a new fireplace, basement with new bathroom, installation of new windows, shutters, shake siding, and new ground level deck.From the initial consultation with Garrett, Chris, Kelly, and Dan, to the numerous crews working our project, everyone was professional, honest, competent, prompt, and took pride in a job well done. We were kept informed on the progress of the project, our questions and concerns addressed. Upon completion, any small problems/issues were quickly resolved.We are absolutely thrilled with our completed project and have received many compliments. We would recommend Lakeside to anyone for interior/exterior renovations. Thanks again to everyone at Lakeside for accepting our project; we truly appreciate all of your efforts, hard work, and dedication.Services: Home renovations

I have dealt with Lakeside twice for window replacements. The price is a bit high, but the service, quality of windows and installation are top notch. I have seen lots of bad window work out there and I am satisfied that mine will last a very long time. Recommend!

Lakeside Renovation and Design did an excellent job on our project from initial sales/consultation all the way through completion. This was for hardi-board trim on the exterior of the house as well as gutter replacement. Additionally they replaced the siding on the front of the house. We did not have to worry about the quality of the work or watch over the crew as they were taking great care in their work. Their work exceeded my expectations and I would certainly call them for future projects.
