LT DESIGN & INNOVATIONS

Lawrence Wamanga has run this Somerville shop for 23 years, and the work is narrow and specific: restoring antique cast iron radiators rather than pushing homeowners toward modern replacements. Its Better Business Bureau profile lists it as All About Radiators, with LT Design & Innovations noted as an alternate name for the same company, offering radiator repair, restoration and custom enclosures out of the Boston area. There's no customer review trail yet — no Google, Yelp or Houzz history to draw from — so the closest thing to independent standing here is the BBB listing itself, which shows an A+ grade, though the business isn't a BBB Accredited company. Since the focus is specifically radiators rather than general heating and cooling, it's worth confirming a job actually falls in that lane — furnaces, boilers, or forced-air work aren't described anywhere in what the company or the BBB have on file, just radiator repair, restoration and enclosures. For a homeowner with old cast iron radiators — stripped, leaking, or just tired under a coat of chipped paint — this looks like the specialist to call. With little outside history to check yet, it's worth asking to see photos of finished jobs before booking.
