We were given a detailed timeline and estimate and although there were timeline deviations, the communication was always clear. Nick was excellent as project manager and all the subcontractors were professional and took care of our home.
Description of Work: We hired Tim Lemke as our contractor for our last 2 major home projects, an exterior renovation including painting, stucco and windows and a recent bathroom remodel.

Used high-tech laser, completed work in 48 hours. Of course, there was a lot of planning that had to be done before ? and these took months ? but this was the result of specific problems in our quaint house with very old installations.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen countertop completely.

Description of Work: TLC remodeled our basement...they took out a wall, installed new ceiling and lighting, flooring, a countertop and storage cupboards. It took a few months for the projects to finally get started, but once it did they stayed on schedule. They were great about communication...we always knew what was happening and it was easy to get ahold of someone if we had any questions. TLC employees and their subcontractors were all very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

Answered phone when I called. Gave rough estimate of cost so I knew approximately what it would cost. Set date and time and showed up on time. Cleaned up after his work. Periodically discussed how work was going. This I think was a relatively small job for this company which also does larger kitchen and home renovations.
Description of Work: Sanded large island butcher block top. Set up floor to ceiling plastic "tent" to prevent sawdust from escaping and lay down tarps so there was no mess. Butcher block took about 3 hours to do. Our pocket sliding door had come off of the rail and he rehung it which took about 2 hours. Placed a doorstop and reattached the decorative wood strips around a different door.

Resanding of the floors wne very well. But the communication on what it would take for the window was alway slow and details were not provided. Cost kept creeping up after project started. Also found out later that we should have received a rebate on the new windows but contractor must have kept. My biggest issue was the lack of detail a in the estimate and communication in setting up appointments. Project went on way too long.

Good to work with this firm and they are very professional. May not be the low cost quote but with jobs in the are got references and work was recommended. The job took a bit longer than estimated but always expect 10% more time for un expected items.

Started as a leak and developed into a complete bath remodel. Had heard of Tim Lemke from Rausher Plumbing whom I originally contacted for the leak issue - they said they could patch but what was really required was a complete replacement of the plumbing infrastructure - recommended talking to Tim. Met with Tim, he listened to what we wanted, developed a quote and we went forward. We felt confident enough in Tim and his people that we actually spent the first 2 weeks of the project in Europe - checking in occasionally. Tim gets it - has sub-contractors that he has long term relationships with (no surprises), excellent at communicating with the client and managing expectations, and last but not least (in my case) was on time and responsive to concerns. Ask for Nick as a project manager as I know that is what I will do with my next project with them..
Description of Work: 1930s home with original plumbing. Tear down bathroom to stud walls. Replace all plumbing including fixtures. Update all electrical. New cabinetry in bath as well as other area. In floor heat in bath. Replace plumbing in secondary bath.

This was an insurance job and they did not seem to want to fix the overarching reason for the damage, just the damage itself. There were some hiccups in the process of getting the job started, some by me, some by my insurance company, and some by TLC. The process took far longer than it should have, only about 10% TLC's fault. I feel the final price was somewhat too expensive for the amount of work performed. It was an insurance claim so I did not complain. Be ready to pay up front for a service quote. The final plaster job was good, the painting is superior.
Description of Work: This work was an insurance claim for some interior damage caused by ice dams from early 2011. The work completed was some minor plaster work and full painting of a bed room and the living room.

This remodel went perfectly. Communication was prompt, courteous, honest, clear. All personnel were pleasant, on time, respectful of me and my home. Price was reasonable and in line with the estimates I was given. I was kept informed all along the way. They kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up as they progressed, respecting my property. The subs were knowledgeable, the showrooms they sent me to pick out the various pieces were helpful with a variety of styles and prices. Best of all, the project was completed on time as promised, thoroughly cleaned and ready for me to move back in. I'd work with Tim Lemke again in a heartbeat!

Standing water under bathroom vanity in basement bathroom. Not sure of source of leak or water. Call Rascher Plumbing. They could not identify the source of the water without removing a large mirror and removing the drywall to look at the pipes. They called Tim Lemke Construction. They came in the same day and moved the mirror cut through the drywall and found a small leak in the copper pipe that was spraying a fine mist of water. Rascher Plumbing fixed the pipes. Tim Lemke Construction - repaired the wall and vanity and painted and put everything back together. Complete job. Happy with work and all the updates from Tim Lemke and subcontractor who did the painting.

Lemke's workers always called ahead of time to let us know exactly when they'd arrive and what they'd be doing next. We were pleased at their efficiency and skill. Each project took several days and they cleaned up the area every time they checked out for the day.
Description of Work: Ascending water pipe from the basement to the second floor bathroom sprung a leak. All the piping from the basement to the second floor bathroom was replaced. This meant tearing out a two foot wide swath across the dining room ceiling. The plumber used modern materials, installed shutoff valves for both hot and cold water. Tim Lemke's people then closed and resurfaced the ceiling so that it is impossible to tell any work has been done. Lemke also installed new windows on both floors of our 1907 home. This has served to keep the house warmer in the winter and to insulate against outside noise. Lemke's ace cabinet makers created a new library. Nothing is plumb anymore so this meant an advanced degree of fitting without the use of shims as the new bookcases go from floor to ceiling. The details were made in their shop to match extant woodwork in the living and dining room so there is a very good unity of effect. The special mixed stain almost perfectly matched the aged but beautiful patina of the original wood.

I haven't decided who I will have do the work. He certainly came in at the top end of what the estimate would be. He came highly recommended by a kitchen designer that I know. He returned calls and was prompt. I want to find the right person for the job.
