CJW Custom Home Renovations is a Norfolk design-build contractor led by owner and carpenter Chris Weiler. The company says it was established in 2005 and focuses on residential renovations and construction, including kitchens, bathrooms, additions, basements, and interior trim. Homeowners describe CJW handling substantial projects rather than isolated repairs. In a 2025 review, one customer described a two-car garage built from foundation through roof and siding, praising the schedule, organization, communication, and craftsmanship. A 2023 homeowner described the company coordinating the lion's share of a $125,000 kitchen renovation, including the challenge of merging two rooms; another 2023 review concerned completion of a new home and praised the workmanship, updates, pictures, and follow-up. Kitchen and bathroom renovations are a recurring theme. A 2024 review described gutting and updating both rooms in eight weeks, with daily cleanup, material-selection guidance, and careful finishing. A 2025 kitchen review praised planning and work spanning floors, cabinets, electrical, plumbing, and painting. These accounts consistently mention communication, coordination, and attention to detail, while the written history is concentrated in 2023–2025 and largely positive. CJW appears best suited to homeowners planning a coordinated renovation, addition, custom home, or major carpentry project. Before booking, confirm the precise scope, schedule, budget, and which trades or subcontractors will be involved, especially for projects combining several specialties.
I recently had CJW Custom Home Renovations build a two-car garage for my home, and I’m extremely impressed with their work. From the initial consultation to the final touches, they were professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The team stayed on schedule, kept the job site organized, and communicated clearly every step of the way. The craftsmanship is excellent — everything from the foundation to the roof and siding was done with precision. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality construction work.
I hired CJW Custom Home Renovations to build a two-car garage, and the entire experience was excellent. The team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They handled every step — from the concrete work to the framing, roofing, and finishing — with great attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout the project, and any questions or small changes were handled quickly and professionally. The final result looks fantastic and blends perfectly with the rest of my property. It’s refreshing to work with a contractor who delivers on time, within budget, and with top-notch craftsmanship. I’d definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for quality work.
We were very fortunate to have Chris Weiler highly recommended to us when we were looking to redo our 30 year old kitchen. He and his team were professional, focused on enduring we ended up with our vision, and extremely helpful with ideas and planning. Everything turned out great from floor, cabinets, electrical, plumbing, and painting. I would very highly recommend CJW Custom Home Renovations.
We used CJW to gut and update both our kitchen and primary bathroom and couldn’t be happier with the whole process and the outcome. Chris and his workers, Billy and Matty, were hard workers, respectful, and talented. Chris had great ideas for us to consider, gave us all of the places to pick out materials and most importantly, he was a perfectionist about the outcome. They worked everyday unless they were waiting for an inspection. As a result both rooms were finished within 8 weeks. They cleaned up the work areas at the end of each day and moved our furniture at the beginning of the project and replaced it at the end. We went out of town a couple of times and felt very comfortable leaving them to come and go. We can’t say enough good things about Chris and his colleagues. We highly recommend CJW!
Chris and his crew were trusted with the lion’s share of a $125,000 kitchen reno where we merged two rooms to create a kitchen than ran from the front to the back of our house. This required lots of planning, coordination and communication and he never let us down. What we especially enjoyed was his calm demeanor and leadership even when we encountered hiccups that were unforeseen. His workmanship is top shelf and we plan to hire him again for future projects.
