 + 7 moreOur experience with New Leaf Construction in December led us back to hiring them again for a few additional projects we wanted completed outside this spring. The remodel of our firm over the winter was very successful and it was a pleasure to work with their crew. Their professionalism showed throughout the entirety of the project, from the quality of their work, sensitivity to our timeline, accommodating the needs of our business with as little interruption as possible, cleanliness of their work area, attention to detail, and staying on budget. I highly recommend New Leaf Construction.

 + 2 moreIan and his crew were very good and did everything they said they would do quickly and professionally. The project came in on budget and time. They worked around the schedule at the church which was very important to us. The job site was kept clean and there was not interference with the activities of the church. We were very happy with the work and would definitely hire them again for any new projects.
Description of Work: The Church had all it's windows replaced along with the trim.

 + 2 moreThis was a wonderful company to work with. New Leaf Construction performed repair to the exterior of our art gallery building. The damage was caused by significant rot / water issues. We have very high expectations and we are quite meticulous in the upkeep of our properties. New Leaf far exceeded customer service expectations and by far was the most responsive and courteous company that we have worked with in Maine. The crew was responsible and respectful. The contract process was quite clear and detailed. The billing procedures and follow up was superb. The work was completed to perfection.

 + -1 moreVery disappointing. After numerous discussions and back and forth for months we finally got a commitment date for November. We discussed at length the importance of wanting to match the rest of the house and provide shelter from the elements for the tools and wood; We also contracted to have our front porch risers replaced; When the team did show up, the one worker was late and we did not receive all the hours promised - it rained one afternoon so granted no work then but that time was never made up. The workmanship is shoddy and the job was obviously rushed; The only reason the risers were done correctly and the look of the enclosure matches the house is due to my spouse who had to micro manage the job due to the lack of professionalism and workmanship.We were so unhappy we took it to small claims court; unfortunately the judgement was not in our favor due to particular and loose contract wording so New Leaf squeaked by. Nonetheless, court ruling not withstanding I would not recommend New Leaf for anything complex and we will not be using them again.We paid not a small amount of money (close to $8000) for this. We would have done better by purchasing a shed from Home Depot. We feel quite taken advantage of.
Description of Work: We asked for our car port to be enclosed to provide shelter for wood and lawn equipment.

Description of Work: This was a relatively large and complicated job, renovating the 130-year-old front part of our house and involving: floor leveling, plumbing, electrical, floor work, new fixtures, storm windows, tiling, and painting. The workers and subcontractors were, with two exceptions, competent and pleasant to be with and conscientious about getting things right. Our big problems were: delays in getting the project started, the unexpected length of the project (compared to what we had been told to expect), and the length of time it took to repair the work of one subcontractor. The main work was supposed to begin in March 2015, but the contractor said he was ill and would have to delay. Fearing that this delay would make it impossible to properly entertain house guests expected between late June and mid-August, we asked to put off the work until fall. However, we gave in to the urgings of the contractor to either do part now and the rest in the fall or to do it all in the spring, assuring us that the essentials could be done and the house available for entertaining guests. It didn't work out that way, and the final work wasn't completed until mid-November, forcing us to rent other accommodations for four weeks during the high-cost summer season at the cost of several thousand dollars. I would say that the contractor is a smart, hard-working, and well-meaning young man with a relatively small staff, who can do a good job for a decent price, especially on a less complex job. He certainly did a totally satisfactory job for us earlier on a smaller project replacing the sheathing on the back part of our house. However, if someone has any time constraints, they might be better served by a larger contracting firm that will charge anywhere from a quarter to half more but have more resources to get the work done much closer to your deadline.

 + 7 moreNew Leaf does beautiful work. The contracts are detailed. I believe that the prices are very reasonable. I came from Denver where everything would have been much higher. The workmen are very professional and always clean up after which I liked. The end results are always just exactly what I wanted. New Leaf is very popular and it is wise to book well in advance. The only problem I had was not their fault. Dream Kitchen lied about the availability of a vanity during the remodeling of the master bath, delaying the completion by months. In the interim, New Leaf rigged up a vanity which made the bathroom usable for me, but made a lot of extra work for them. I am on their schedule for a tree removal when the ground freezes.
Description of Work: Over a period of years New Leaf has worked in the basement, on the deck, made the shed usable and healthy for dogs, built a dog pen, remodeled the master bathroom and the powder room and replaced rotten trim and chimney on the outside of the house.

Description of Work: New Leaf Construction is fabulous. They replaced the shingles on our mansard roof. We decided together to use a roofing product that looks like slate. We decided this in order to avoid future replacement of the wood shingles. New Leaf did a fabulous job in both the work and communication. We would highly recommend them.

 + -1 moreWe were extremely happy with the work that was done. Each day the crew cleaned up, explained the next step and kept us informed regarding what time the next subcontractor would arrive the next day. Everyone was punctual, professional and very proficient with the job they were hired to do. We were thrilled that the whole repair job, which included sheet rocking and painting, only took a week from start to finish. And the quality of the finished product was outstanding. We highly recommend Ian Robertson and his crew at New Leaf for any construction related job you may have. In fact, we've discovered part of our deck has collapsed, again due to the abundance of snow, but are confident Ian and New Leaf Construction will be able to handle the job and will get our deck repaired in a professional and efficient way. We wouldn't call anyone else.
Description of Work: Due to a heavy snowfall on our roof this winter and some poor workmanship by the original builder, a severe buckle was created in the sheet rock above our fireplace. New Leaf Construction came in, recommended an engineer to assess the situation and after getting a report from the engineer proceeded to repair the problem in an efficient and timely manner. Ian and his crew were very sensitive to the fact that our entire living room was unlivable during this repair and made sure subcontractors were lined up to complete the sheet rocking and painting in less than a week!

Description of Work: I needed a couple of doors refitted to close properly, and a old doggie door removed from a wall, as well as a variety of electrical work. Ian got me an estimate quickly, and it was fair. There were a few delays caused by scheduling conflicts and weather, etc. Anything that was was not satisfactory was remedied (no additional cost). I am happy with the end results, and will certainly use New Leaf Construction for future projects. It is a pleasure to work with Ian. He is personable, professional, and quality-results oriented tradesman who takes pride in his work.

Evaluations and explanations have always been thorough and balanced, including discussion of potential difficulties that may be encountered---of which there have been several. In one instance, engineers were promptly engaged when structural weaknesses were uncovered when preparing to install massive sliding glass doors. Subcontractors have all been of the highest quality. New Leaf Const is characterized by its integrity, quality workmanship, thoroughness, congeniality, and concern for the client's needs.
Description of Work: Project 1---Renovations including sliding glass doors, new bathroom, new basement walls and ceiling, new roof and skylight, insulation, repairs to deck and barn Project 2---Structural support for summer cottage, plus new windows and doors.

 + 5 moreNo job is too large or small. All jobs are treated with the same care and attention. His estimates are accurate and detailed, with no surprises. This is the best contractor we have ever had. We had a leak into our porch. He took a lot of time researching the problem, and called for assistance from a state of the art energy company. He received no money for this job, but stayed around so that he could learn for future projects. We received new insulation and properly vented fans, as well as, a new energy audit and insulation. Ian did not just jump into an unfamiliar situation. He is extremely picky about who he hires. He only uses the best sub-contractors. They are friendly, courteous, respectful, neat, and clean up each day. The agreed to deadline is met. No callbacks are needed, everything is done right the first time. The quality of the work is absolutely superb.
Description of Work: He converted an old rotting porch into a beautiful sun room. He also put in a proper door and staircase for our basement from scratch, added new windows in our garage.
