They came out and gave me an estimate on how much they would charge me to put in a sprinkler system. They came out as scheduled, measured my yard, and conversed with me about my preferences and what I needed for the sprinkler system and then he gave me a written estimate. I liked everything about them and what they did was fine. They even wrote down everything I would need and that they would be installing, so I told them I would be calling them back because I was very satisfied. I will use them in the future.
Description of Work: I use Leon James for lawn irrigation.

I have a rental unit in Broward, I live in Miami, my tenant called me one evening to let me know she was having a problem with the toilet and needed to have it taken care quickly. I call Mr. James that evening and the very next day he went over and fixed it. He was reasonable priced and took care of the problem inmediatley. I will definetely use Mr.Leon James for all my plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Fixed a toilet that was constantley running.

Great
Description of Work: I needed the drywall patched and painted the around a wall a/c in a tenants apartment. I needed the work done when I was out of town. Leon came out and called me with an estimate the very next day and fixed it the following day. He did a wonderful job. Leon was a professional, who called and came when he said he would, which was refreshing. He will be my "go to" guy next time that I need anything done at my home or rentals.

Pros: - Pleasant to deal with - Punctual and responsible - Takes pride in his work Cons: - Upper range of market pricing, I didn't feel I was getting a bargain but I also didn't feel I was overpaying - Limited services, Leon doesn't do a lot of things that a proper GC would do Conclusion I would recommend Leon but know in advance that some services will cost you, particularly weekend work or any projects that require him to bring in a helper. Also, bear in mind that there are many things that Leon doesn't do and you will have to find someone independent of him to take care of these things as he doesn't come with a rolodex of contacts in various specialties that a GC would usually have on hand. Things Leon does not do include flooring, drywall, electrical, and construction (even light construction).
Description of Work: Leon made several trips to my new condo to help me with various handyman tasks including the installation of lighting systems, mounting heavy mirors and other fixtures on my walls, and the installation of an elevated platform for my bar stools in the kitchen.

That work went great. It took him about four days in all. He had to come when it was very, very hot. He would come early in the morning, as soon as he could. If he's going to be late, he lets you know. He doesn't hold you up. He has a great personality on top of all of that.
Description of Work: He hung some fans in the bedroom, as well as a light fixture.

He is excellent, and he does all of his jobs very, very well. He did an excellent job on this particular situation. The price was excellent. I know I would have paid a lot more to hire someone else. If he's going to be late, he lets you know. He doesn't hold you up. He has a great personality on top of all of that.
Description of Work: He did some plumbing work in the bathroom. The toilet was leaking, so he took out the toilet, fixed the leak, and replaced the toilet.

He was excellent. I found him on Angie's List. If he's going to be late, he lets you know. He doesn't hold you up. He has a great personality on top of all of that.
Description of Work: He fixed my sprinkler system. He replaced the sprinkler heads. In addition, there was an underground pipe that had broken or eroded. He fixed that as well. He also repaired the timer.

I have used Leon for about 4-5 years. I have had other handymen I have used before Leon and they were never as good. He's terrific, he does good work, he's reliable and he's reasonable. He also cleans up after himself and doesn't leave you with a mess. He's great. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: He did some minor plumbing work for me outside and has done various handyman jobs for me. My drain had been draining very slowly. I had a plumber come out a month before but I still had the same problem. Leon came out, he looked at, found where the blockage was in my plumbing & solved the problem. Also, after Hurricane Wilma, I needed a fence put up because I have a pool and he put a fence up for me and did a great job. He also installed new shelves in our small pantry. He went out bought the materials,installed them in a few hours and they work great.
