"Worked with Mike and Lance from Lakewood Home Builders in 2019. Started out fine, did a few small projects. Remodeled our main level's half bathroom and took out some columns in our living room. Recessed a section of the third floor over the stairwell to allow furniture to be brought up. Everything was great when they worked with these smaller projects. What I didn't know going into this, was they didn't have their own interior designer. So we ended up having to make a lot of the decisions on the fly and buying my own fixtures which, for one... I learned a LOT more about home remodeling, framing, and plumbing because of this experience. So that's a plus I guess. But we had lots of trouble when it came to the full kitchen and master bathroom remodel, and new indoor outdoor fireplace installation. 1. Their sub-contracted plumber for our master bathroom was atrocious. For one, he reeked of cigarettes so when he came over our bathroom area stunk of cigarette smoke. We originally bought a six valve thermostatic digital Kohler products and he said he didn't know how to install so we took those back and bought manual thermostatic valves for the master bath instead. Had two overhead showerheads, a hand wand, and four body sprays. The body sprays weren't put in properly. He said it was the best he could do. We were forced to hire a separate Kohler approved plumber and he fixed the setting within a half hour so now the body sprays are flush with the wall instead of protruding out. 2. We had to change fireplace designs several times because we couldn't get the ventless one we originally wanted, so ended up getting a 50" direct vent see through fireplace from Napoleon through a virginia fireplace dealer. But we needed a frame built out to hold the linear fireplace. Gave ample time and shown the manual to the contractor with the specifications needed several times but the frame needed to be redone again and again so we ended up having to have the fireplace installers come out several times as well to say the frame isn't right, or the gas line isn't accessible before we could get a final working display. We attempted to get MSI stacked stone installed for the fireplace interior wall with Lakewood but they installed halfway up the wall and the stone wasn't lined up end to end because they didn't level with the floor or the product was faulty so you had large gaps between the connecting pieces across the entire wall. Ended up having to tear it all down and have a separate contractor come in and put up tile instead. 3. While working the master bathroom, could see several recessed light cans from the kitchen remodel were left in the crawl space instead of being removed. New master bathroom entry door was put it and wasn't level. 4. We had our old 2 door patio door removed and had a four panel sliding door put in. They had to have a structural engineer come and write up documentation on how to get it structurally sound. And have the framing inspected but it wasn't done right the first time and had to be redone. But it was fine the second time around and the patio door was ultimately installed. We had the same issue where installation fine tuning wasn't done correctly so we reached out to the door provider and they sent out their installer to fix the setting so the doors would lock easier and we no longer hear the outside noise from our back door anymore. It wasn't all bad. They redid the siding of the house where the old fireplace was taken out. The majority of work completed mostly looks nice if you don't look at it too closely. We were going to have them work a deck and patio but unfortunately with all these events compiling, several arguments later, they said they won't finish any work. And that's fine. We didn't feel comfortable working with this company and their sub-contractors anyways. I think if you have a traditional home remodel or have small projects, they can knock it out. But a lot of our projects were a lot of their first time doing that kind of remodeling just based on their comments, air button for garbage disposal, dual shower, indoor outdoor fireplace, microwave drawer, pop up outlet"

"We were looking to increase our attic insulation and met The Home Doctor Company at the Capital Remodel and Garden Show in February 2025 as well as some other companies. We consulted with several companies and decided to go with The Hone Doctor for our attic insulation. The company rep, Chris Lear, was very good explaining what they would do and why our attic needed R-38 insulation. I knew we needed more but did not realize our attic was only R-13. I have worked with numerous contractors before on projects and felt this was a really good company plus they have great reviews. The installation of the attic insulation went very well. They do install siding as well but decided to put this project off for now. Would highly recommend this company."

"We started working with Jorden to re-slope some gutters to divert storm water. As our low slope shingle roof needed to be replaced, we asked him to provide a proposal to replace the existing roof with a modified bitumen roof system with an additional 3" rigid foam insulation. Kevin helped to provide me with the standard roof flashing and edge details for this type of residential roof system, which they were not familiar with. Kevin and Jorden discussed it with the roof installers and the product manufacturer, and provided whatever was needed, responding promptly throughout the process. They let us know when the material prices were expected to go up so that we could order the materials. During the time that I was not available, they worked with us to revise the schedule, which was much appreciated! The work was planned and executed without any issues, and we are very happy with our new roof. Thank you Kevin and Jorden!"

"Unprofessional visit. Showed up unannounced and we only knew they were there because one person stood 10 feet from our porch staring at us in through our living room window. My wife spent 10 minutes talking to them, they stated they had no business cards, they only had an appointment card but didn't present it. Honestly when you show up at someone's house you need some sort of identifier if your walking door to door in casual clothes. After the uncomfortable dead stare through the windows my wife and i have decided to post a No Solicitors sign. They didn't take no for an answer at first, pushing with more questions to circumvent the no she gave, as well as interrupted our dinner, as they showed up right at 6pm."

A typical heat cable uses about 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses around 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.
Yes, you can install heat tape in your gutters to help melt ice and keep water flowing smoothly. The system is mounted securely above the gutter brackets so the tape warms the gutter surface and prevents ice buildup. Be sure to have a qualified professional install the heat tape using proper techniques and hardware to ensure optimal performance and protect your gutter system.
To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.
Both heated gutters and roof heating cables prevent ice buildup, but your choice depends on your roof design and aesthetic goals. Heated gutters provide a discreet solution that maintains your home’s exterior appeal, while roof heating cables offer powerful, widespread ice melting. Consider the installation requirements and energy needs to determine which system fits your property best.
Yes, roof heating cables prevent ice dams by quickly melting accumulated snow and ice along your roof edge. They create a warm channel that allows water to drain freely, eliminating the conditions that cause ice dams. This active ice-melting system protects your roof structure and minimizes the risk of water damage during severe winter weather.
Roof heating cables last between two and 10 years, depending on environmental exposure and installation quality. They're designed to work effectively for a period influenced by factors like climate severity, cable type, and how well you maintain them. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance can extend their lifespan and ensure continuous roof protection throughout winter.
