Blogs for Smarter Planning

Our blogs offer insights that can help property managers, HOA boards, facility teams, and commercial property owners make better decisions before an exterior problem becomes an emergency.

The Lemus Construction Knowledge Center provides practical guidance on roofing, siding, decks, windows, capital planning, project communication, maintenance, and large-scale exterior renovations. Articles are developed around the conditions facing occupied communities and active commercial properties throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut, Northern Virginia, and the surrounding Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region.

You will also find project updates, material information, seasonal maintenance guidance, company news, and lessons drawn from completed work in the field. No vague theory. Just useful information for the people responsible for protecting buildings, managing budgets, and keeping communities operating while construction moves forward.

The merchants were very knowledgeable, explaining everything from the construction of the windows themselves to the installation process. The workman was knowledgeable, efficient and meticulous. He was polite and easy to work with. The installation was seamless from start to finish. One of the supervisores came out to check his work. I will definitely hire them again and refer them to others.
Response from the owner:Thanks for sharing Anne! We’re glad the whole process was smooth & we strive to deliver the utmost care & attention to all our work so everyone can be just as satisfied as you. Thanks again for the trust and for recommending us. We’d be happy to help anytime.

Our Management firm has worked with Lemus on various projects over the last 10 years, ranging from full roof and siding replacements on multi-family Condominiums (consisting of 246, 184, 136, and 76 units) to structural facade renovations, window replacements, roof repairs, and everything in between. Not only have we at RCR Management been extremely satisfied with their work quality and response time, but so have the many unit-owners we represent. This company is built on a strong foundation of respectful and caring people, which starts at the top with Victor and Mario. We highly recommend them for any exterior project you may be considering!
Response from the owner:Peter, Thanks for taking the time to submit a great review! Your feedback means the world to us and we really appreciate your kind words. It's always great to receive recognition and your support is invaluable.

I replaced all my windows, and they did an excellent job. Super, dependable family-owned company. I highly recommend Lemus Construction. The estimate was done by the owner and he stayed right on target. They crew is very skilled. They were efficient, responsive and easy to communicate with. Our windows look amazing! It feels like we are in a brand-new house. Thank you Lemus.
Response from the owner:Hi, Esperanza. We are thrilled that you had a positive experience with us! Thank you so much for the kind words.

Update: Lemus Construction came back today and took care of everything. They replaced the wall panel and installed all new window screens of good quality. The team was professional, polite, and completed the work properly. We appreciate that they followed up and resolved the issue. Everything is now in good condition, and we have no further concerns. Thank you for taking care of it. Original review: We had a very disappointing experience with Lemus Constructions during a roof replacement project in our community. It was clear that the workers lacked experience—things were constantly falling, and they caused multiple damages. They broke our deck (which, to their credit, was later repaired), damaged our house wall, and also damaged the front gutter, which now doesn't divert water properly. Additionally, almost all of our window insect screens were torn. When we raised these issues, we were told that they had warned us to remove or protect everything ourselves. Some screens are at a height we simply can't reach, and they aren't easy to remove. In the end, they made it clear that we, the homeowners, are fully responsible, and they bear no accountability. No compensation was offered, and they refused to engage in further conversation. While they were great at selling their services and getting into our community, the actual work seemed to be done by the cheapest, unskilled labor. Everything that could go wrong, did. I strongly advise avoiding this company—if they damage your property, they will not take responsibility, and the quality is awful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for updating your review, Mikhail. We appreciate the opportunity to work through your concerns and glad we were able to bring everything to a positive resolution. Thank you for your patience throughout the process and for recognizing the efforts of the crew. We appreciate your updated feedback and are happy to hear everything is now in good condition. Original Response: Hi Mikhail, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We understand this situation has involved a lot of back and forth specific to your home, and we recognize that construction work can feel disruptive to daily life. We’ve been made aware of your concerns, have had several conversations with your community management team, and continue to discuss possible options and next steps regarding the items brought to our attention. As you stated, residents were notified prior to construction, where possible, due to the nature of roofing debris, winds, and vibration during installation. These notices are standard throughout the roofing industry and were provided to help minimize the risk of incidental damage during the project. We will continue communicating with you while reviewing the additional concerns raised against our pre construction documentation, as well as coordinating with your HOA board members and working within the scope and responsibilities outlined through the community’s contracted agreements and hope to come to a satisfying conclusion for an updated review.

The Lemus crew was quick and efficient. They protected the house and surrounding landscaping while removing the old roof. They repaired the rotting wood and finished off the project making the roof look better than it did when new. They installed a more efficient ridge vent as well as improved soffit vents to address to old roof's insufficient ventilation and moisture issues. None of the other roofing companies that quoted the job offered these solutions, even though they were aware of our moisture problem. I was impressed with the Lemus team's knowledge of roofs and the products available to address ventilation/moisture issues. Our attic no longer has that stale, musty smell from accumulated moisture, plus the roof looks great.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the support & letting us work on your home Bruce! It was our honor and we appreciate you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're glad the team was able to address the ventilation and moisture concerns & it means a lot to hear that the results are already making a difference. We truly value your trust with Lemus Construction & don't hesitate to reach out for any concerns or future projects. Best, The Lemus Team

Lemus construction did an amazing job on our home. The project included a new roof, new sky lights, new siding, new trim, and a new composite deck. This was an extensive project, yet all of the work was completed within the timelines and budget as quoted. The crews were friendly and courteous and left the worksite tidy after each workday. A very competent foreman was on site directing the work each day. We can't say enough about how happy and satisfied we are with Lemus Construction and their beautiful restoration of our home!

I can’t say enough good things about Chris, JJ and the contractors who replaced my roof. Chris showed up at 7am to accommodate my work schedule, had a quote to me within a couple of hours and answered any and all questions. JJ was amazing at sharing the progress and issues that were found, took care of remediating everything and finished timely. The area was clean of debris. He pulled the permits for me, worked with my HOA and was available for any question
Response from the owner:We can’t thank you enough for this wonderful review. Chris and JJ always go above and beyond to make sure our homeowners feel supported throughout the entire roofing process. It’s great to hear everything from scheduling to cleanup was handled to your satisfaction and we'll be sure to pass along your good graces to the team. Thanks for choosing Lemus!
