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 crew from Lemus replaced three difficult roof cut out boxes on two of the hottest days of the year. They did an amazing job. This is the third time I have used their company and I can’t rate them highly enough. I’d like to give them six stars!!
Response from the owner:Hello B, Thanks for the awesome review. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and leaving such an amazing review. Your kind words mean the world to us!

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.

From start to finish it was a great experience working with Lemus. The windows and sliding door look great. José was professional and his team was skilled, and Josie made the process fast and easy.

From start to finish, it's wonderful to know that our team, led by José, provided professional and skilled service. We're glad you're satisfied with the windows and sliding door, and we appreciate your kind words about Josie, who made the process fast and easy for you.

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

I am a member of the board for an adult condo community. It was time to replace the roofs/gutters and trim. A MASSIVE project. We vetted 6 vendors. We interviewed, read proposals, asked questions, etc etc. LEMUS continually impressed us with their professionalism, responsiveness and cooperation. We are halfway through a 2 year project. The residents can't say enough positive things about the management, crew, etc. They are honest and VERY easy to work with. Go LEMUS
Response from the owner:Hi Eileen, we are tremendously grateful for your positive feedback! We hope to continue serving you and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us.

I am the manager of a condominium association in Lansdale, Pa. We just finished a 7-year roof and gutter replacement project with Lemus Construction. After bidding this project out and meeting with all the bidders, we knew that Lemus was the contractor. The crews are the hardest working people, very respectful, and experienced. Lemus helped us through this project during COVID, inflation, and unexpected circumstances. The adminstrative team and owners are excellent. They met with the Residents each year with powerpoint presentations and answered all their questions to ease their concerns. We sent surveys out each year, and the results were outstanding. I would highly recommend Lemus for your roofing and gutter replacements. They also did some siding repair for us along the way. I cannot say enough about Lemus. Thank you for making my job easy.
Response from the owner:Hi, Jill. We really appreciate the kind words and are so glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

Lemus is a great company to work with from their ownership and administration to service- they have a great team. As a property manager, its crucial to have reliable vendors. My residents always comment about how hard Lemus works and their workmanship shows in the quality of their finished product. I highly recommend Lemus!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a rating. We feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with you!

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.

Lemus approach to our GLV Roofing Project has been spot on from daily management to workers endurance in exceptional heat, especially on the roofs when the heat registered at 130 degrees. I can verify that my Copperfield neighbors came to the aid of Ken’s roofers and ground help. We refilled Gatorade, lemonade, watermelon, cookies, zucchini loaf and even had a chance to treat all of the ground crew to warm sandwiches of BBQ and salad. The crew is respectful and considerate and they clean up every evening. This is just my message but I am sure so many other folks feel so much the same way.
Response from the owner:Hi Bernie, thank you so much for your kind words. We’re thrilled to hear that you’re satisfied with our work and management on the GLV Roofing Project. It’s great to know the crew’s hard work and endurance didn’t go unnoticed, especially in those extreme heat conditions. We appreciate the community support from Copperfield neighbors—it truly makes a difference for our team. Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback!

Very friendly and helpful customer service. Roofing repair supervisor explained the process and kept me informed with drone pictures. Lemus was on time and completed project earlier than expected. They also left my property in pristine condition. The only indicator they were there was a beautiful new roof and a small Lemus sign. I plan to use Lemus again and recommend them to friends and family. :)
Response from the owner:Hi Rosetta, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your business and value your feedback. If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know!

Excellent roofing contractor. Especially for HOA's. They are responsive and friendly. The project manager was very detailed.
Response from the owner:Appreciate the review, Melis! It’s always a pleasure to hear such praise of our team members. We’re glad our responsiveness & communication stood out, and that the project management process felt clear and detailed. Working with HOA communities takes a lot of coordination, so we value that feedback. Thanks again for the support & the opportunity to work with you!
