Recommendation for Lewis Construction

I just like to post a review for Terrence Lewis & his crew. This winter was super tough on the facade of my brownstone. The stairs, the footings of the wrought iron banister and many areas in the front well area required repairs. I also needed repairs to the main banister, an additional security screen on my entrance gate and needed to add a gate to the base of the stoop stairs to prevent loiterers. Terrence gave me an excellent price. He & his crew were on time, responsible, & cleaned up the job site. His finished work is beautiful. The lines of the repaired masonry are excellent – clean corners & right angles. Over the years, the balustrades of the iron banister had suffered through numerous bad patch repairs – to the point that much of the top was a sad mixture of cement, rusted iron & black paint. Terrence removed much of the old cement & used new iron pieces to recreate the original balustrade. He also cleaned up the iron railing, patching with Bondo & sanding away bad repairs & old paint. Now my 100 year old banister looks amazing and I’m not worried about rain & snow causing more deterioration. The first time he added the security screen to my security gate I was not happy with the look. Terrence respectfully listened to all of my suggestions & gladly re-did the work to my specifications. My requests made the job more complicated & he did not ask for an additional fee. Security screen looks perfect. For the security gate across the bottom of my steps, Terrence met me at Old Iron salvage yard to help choose pieces that would work on my stoop. He could easily have made a new gate for me (that would have matched the look of the original banister), but he knew that I needed to save money & I wanted something old. I purchased a gate and a mismatched section of iron railing. Terrence cleaned up both pieces, cut them to size, welded them together & installed across the base of the stairs. Security gate is beautiful & functional. The job also included painting all finished work. I can email photos. Thanks!

Hi. Do you like your security screens? Do they let in enough light? Could you send a picture? Thank you!
