Lumber Cats is a Somerville, Massachusetts general contractor led by Tim Lorenzo, with a stated focus on custom woodwork, remodeling, and one-project-at-a-time attention. Houzz lists flooring, cabinetry, kitchens, bathrooms, additions, decks, and related residential work, with eight projects shown. The two dated Houzz reviews are mixed: in September 2021, a designer praised Tim for engaging in design, finding creative solutions, and responding well during a project; in October 2024, another reviewer said communication was poor and did not recommend the contractor. Before booking, ask how communication and progress updates will work, and confirm license details and the exact scope for flooring or custom woodwork. Lumber Cats appears best suited to homeowners seeking hands-on remodeling, finish carpentry, or flooring-related work who are comfortable establishing clear expectations at the outset.

Can not recommend this contractor. Communication is not good. Recommend that you go with someone else.
Tim was great to work with! He engaged in the design and came up with creative solutions when we ran into little problems on the project. He was responsive to both the client and to me the designer.
