Leader Garage Builders

I purchased my house shortly after Leader Garage Builders built the garage, and learned that they neglected to use house wrap or any other weather protection under the vinyl siding. Within a few years of me purchasing the house the siding above the garage door started to droop down, and when I looked underneath I realized that the massive wood beam above the door was completely rotted through from water rot (see pictures attached). There was no evidence of bugs/termites. When he came out to inspect it he got very angry with the situation, was very rood, and said he would call me in two days with a plan to fix it. He's since ghosted me and won't respond to texts or calls after many attempts. I would have even paid if he gave me a fair price given their mistakes. Looking like $2k-$3k to fix it. In addition, the rafters that form the "ceiling" of the garage are drooped down. They started to cave in and split, which required the addition of additional 2x6 beams to support the original ones (possibly also due to poor wall support?). I'm posting pictures of this as well showing one of many cracked rafters. I'm literally afraid of the garage caving in. The garage looks fine on its façade, but it has unbelievably deficient workmanship. Buyer beware.

Ted and I signed a contract on 316/21. He was supposed to start the job Apr month end. I purchased the french doors. Ted told me I could start cleaning out the existing garage 2nd week of April that was my last conversation with Ted. Numerous text and calls have gone unanswered. He was a no show. French doors and items that were in the garage are now all piled up in my backyard. Ted/Leader are not professional and not reliable. What a waist of time. So glad they did not require a deposit.

I called and spoke with Ted. We set an appointment to discuss my options for my garage and for him to provide an estimate. After 30 minutes past our appointment with no call or show, I called. Ted answered the phone and did not remember our appointment. After asking him if he was interested in the project, he hung up on me. If you are a contractor and depend on clients to support your business, I would assume you would be professional. I would recommend you keep looking for a garage contractor, because leader garage builders is a poorly run business with no ethics.

They were extremely accommodating and their work was superior. We loved the garage when it was done! We are very happy with their work and would definitely recommend them to others.

we had a garage fire.hired ted and his guys.he came out.we where very pleased at first with ted.his knowledge,price,and time line it would be done.ted had a crew he used for rest of demo of old garage.those guys r good,except till they cracked a part in foundation,not major,can be expected to happen,just still unfurtunate that did.then ted is ready to go with his crew.always on time,cleaned up,respectful and WORKED.was very happy how going....garage up all is good.starts gutter and fascia work thats when it went down hill.very sloopy work,cracked surrounding casement that gutter went into.it was nice red brick.one piece that disguised bottom of gutter.completely trashed.fascia just chopped and slapped up.then the gutter now has a leak.never leaked in 8 years now a constant wet spot when we get rain,also 2 corners on garage that come together now leak.so 2 more wet spots.wich has been fun now in winter cause those spots all freeze!!! we called ted 4 times very shortly after job was finished!!!!!! no reply nothing.finally calls back comes out goes on garage roof.seals corners.looks at brick they busted to crap scratching his head like..well it wouldnt fit,had to do what we had to do..nooo!!!come get homeowners before you wreck something like that!!!!! needless to say as he is leaving tells us he will get something for gutter coming down..now to todays date january 14 th..still brick not fixed...the garage corners r still leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! called 2 more times nothing.very very aggrivating!!!!!!!!!

Poorly, since he didn't even show up or call.

Everything was done professionally, as premised, he impressed the neighbors with his job. definitely will use him for future jobs.

It went very well! The workers were punctual and professional. I would certainly use them again if necessary.

Ted was also able to enhance my storage capabilities by putting a floor over the rafters and a stairway up to, what we now call the attic. He installed lighting and ventilation so that with the gables we have daylight through the windows and canned lights at night time. One of the things I especially like about Teds work is that it was done with skill, within an appropriate time frame and within the quoted price. Ted was also able to provide subcontractors who could provide cement sidewalks to the house, remove a 60' tree in order to build the garage and drywallers to finish the inside of the garage. My only notation to the project is to state that the daily cleanliness of the job site could have been better.

I called them, they came out and gave me a bid of $7000.00. I agreed. They needed to get a permit and requested our plot documentation of our home and the land. He never returned or returned any of my phone calls.

The job went very well. Bad weather got things off to a bad start as the garage site became a swamp after the tree we had removed left a hole in the ground. Once the ground became more solid then everything went quickly. The slab was poured and aged for a week. Then the construction started and everything was done in a week. Ted was always there during the construction and always available for questions. He was very adaptable to our requests and made sure that we were happy with the job. We are very happy.
