Chris and his team are top notch and professional. These guys don't mess around and get their tasks done! I highly recommend using Leon Home Repair - I will in the future.
Description of Work: Chris came to give us a quote for some wood rot on our chimney. When giving us the quote, he mentioned that until he was able to get behind the wood rot he wouldn't be able to determine if there was any further damage.. Once he was able to remove the rotten piece he was determined there was further damage. Chris made it a point to make sure I saw the damage so I could see first hand and not just take his word for it. He and his crew worked diligently and very focused on getting all the repairs done in a timely manner and with excellent results.

I purchased the Angie's List deal for 40 hours of work for $1,499. I e-mailed Chris to schedule the initial visit and he was out to my home the next day. This is my first time hiring out home repair work as my husband and I usually do the work so I had no idea what could be accomplished in 40 hours. The work was schedule to start 3 weeks later which seemed reasonable. Chris and Edison arrived around 9:30am on Tuesday and started unloading tools and used covers for the floors. Removed the shower enclosure and drywall where the work needed to be done. They were good about asking my opinion about the work to be done and keeping me informed of progress. The two of them worked 2.5 days and were able to complete almost everything on my needed list. I needed backerboard installed on shower walls/waterproofing which there wasn't enough time to do. I wasn't upset about this though because they discovered rotten floor/boards that needed replacing which I am sure delayed the work. Both my husband and I were pleased with the work and thought both Chris and Edison were polite and professional. They seemed to not be too bothered by my dog who had to bark at them every time he saw them which must have been very annoying to them.
Description of Work: Removed a stand-up shower, removed and replaced drywall. Moved washer/dryer water hook-up and drain pipe. Moved 3 electrical outlets. Moved water lines in shower. Built a shower pan. Installed dryer vent from floor to outside

Purchased Angie's Big Deal: $149.00 for 6 hours wood rot restoration and repair. There was immediate followup and scheduling. Chris came out to do an assessment. He listened and took time to understand my expectations and to clarify what would be done to accomplish that goal. The weather had an impact on the scheduled dates, which was understandable. Chris came with Edison and explained again what materials would be used and what would be done to accomplish the job. Edison moved forward with the projects. I noticed a few spots that needed a touch up. Without hesitation, done. Edison was punctual and professional, but most of all skilled. I would definitely hire this team again.
Description of Work: Front entry door rebuild threshold, jam, trims and crown molding top. Scrape, sand and paint. Also, install new piece of treated garage door. Caulk and paint.

I thought he was professional, organized, and had good communication. I was pleased with the quality of work. He and his crew came out got the job done quickly. They cleaned up where you would never known they were here. I would use them again.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for the services. I had him to repair a deck that I had a post that was rotted and around windows on the second floor of my home.
Outstanding. I cannot recommend this contractor more highly. The price was good, the lowest of 3 bids I received. I had to wait maybe 2 weeks to get started, which I thought was reasonable. They said they would start on a Monday and they were there that day, and continued to work each day on our job until finished, rather than bouncing among jobs. They kept the project area clean, sweeping up after each day's work. My wife said that Chris and the other workman were professional, and she did not have any uneasiness whatsoever about their conduct or their being in the house while I was not there, which has not always been the case with every contractor. 5 out of 5 on all counts, no question about it. I told Chris Leon that he should feel free to use me as a reference. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call me. Brian Shaw, 919-616-3688.
Description of Work: Over the years, water had seeped through an outdoor porch (tile over concrete) on our house built in the 1930s, resulting in rotting floor joists under the porch. The porch was slowly sinking and was on the way to collapse. The concrete was very heavy, especially after taking on water over the years. The porch cut into the footprint of the house ground floor, such that the porch was directly under a bedroom and directly over a basement room. The rotted floor joists under the porch were just above the ceiling of the basement room. I was very nervous about walking on the porch. Chris Leon and his other workman demolished and removed the tile and concrete porch floor, then removed and replaced the rotted floor joists They removed some load-bearing columns on the porch and replaced them with jacks during the process, then put the columns back. Above the new floor joists.they built a new floor for the porch with some kind of waterproof Hardie board, then installed outdoor tile on the porch. In the basement, part of the ceiling had to be removed to get access to the floor joists. After the joists were fixed the contractor removed the rest of the basement ceiling and put in a sheetrock ceiling, They also put in a plywood soffit enclosing some heating pipes which ran along the edge of the ceiling. Finally, painted the basement ceiling and soffit. It all looked very nice.

As in my previous description above, we are very pleased with the repairs complete thus far and are scheduling them to do the other items on our list of house repairs. Professional, courteous and thorough.
Description of Work: We purchased an Angie's List Deal that was $149 for 6 hours of wood rod restoration/repair. We had one specific area at our garage door jam and nearby siding that needed to be repaired/replaced. We also had several other items on our to-do list of small repairs around the house to get it ready to put on the market. Chris looked at all the areas we needed tended to and provided a labor estimate for each area/item discussed. We scheduled a date to do the main repair at the garage (had to reschedule due to rain), and then Chris's brother, Edison, came out the next week on the rescheduled date to do the garage/siding repair. I also had him look at a few other things for his opinion (leaking faucet, tub faucet separating slightly from wall). Edison completed the garage wood rot and siding repair/replacement including painting with our left over exterior paint and asked if I wanted to get anything else done on our list of estimated items. So he went ahead and cleaned out the gutters, even putting back up one piece that had fallen down a few months back, and securing it. He also re-caulked/sealed the bathtub faucet I had mentioned to him earlier that morning. As he was wrapping up everything and cleaning up, I happened to be spreading 5 yards of mulch around the yard and he offered to help with that as well. I did not take him up on it, but certainly appreciated the offer. A rainstorm came through that evening and the gutters worked well (before he cleaned, we literally had plants growing in some of the gutters, blocking flow), even the one piece he put back up for us remained in tact. The garage jam and siding look great. Very satisfied with the level of workmanship and professionalism. The response time to phone messages could be a bit better, which is why I gave a B in that area. I put a B for pricing, as I really don't have a comparison for this particular type of work to know how competitive it is - but since the work done so far is very good, we're happy to have them complete our other repair needs. We are in the process of scheduling the other area we want to complete, including replacement of some siding on the other side of the house and fascia/soffit areas needing repair.

There were two places where wood had rotted behind the gutters, one at the side of the house and one where the 2nd floor meets the roof. Chris came out to inspect ahead of time and scheduled the work. We had a little trouble meshing our schedules, but Chris always kept me informed. The work was done quickly and professionally. Painting of one area was overlooked on the initial trip, but someone was sent out the next day to finish.
Description of Work: Removed rotted wood, installed rake and facia behind gutters, caulked, painted.

Although I requested work to be done in April/May. Work was delayed due to Leon injuring himself. Thus work was delayed till August. My only disappointment came when everything was finished. One of the workers lost a part to the inside of the deadbolt, which resulted on waiting another two weeks for the lock to be repaired.
Description of Work: I hired Leon's to repair what I thought was dry rot to a set of double hung patio doors. There had been water damage to the wall, floor and door areas but no dry rot. Work was done to replace subfloor and the doors themselves, including istallation and painting. I was very pleased with the final result.

I had two Angie's list deals from two different contractors. One from these guys for rot repair and one from another contractor for painting. So the job isn't complete but the rot repair portion is. They were responsive, helpful in determining what needed repair, and quick to complete the job. There were a lot more repairs than I realized, but that wasn't their fault. Everything they said needed to be replaced, did need to be replaced. The cost was reasonable. Again, it was more than I had expected, but they did a lot more work than I expected would need to be done. So overall, the price was a positive. I received multiple calls alerting me to the status, additional problems found, etc. They kept me informed, in other words. There was a slight problem with communication, possibly as a result of poor cell phone quality, and/or a heavy accent. Basically, I had trouble understanding what the guy that called me was saying a lot of the time. But it wasn't enough of a problem that I would mark off points for it. Overall the communication level was informative and appreciated. If I had similar work that needed to be done I would use them again, based off of this experience.
Description of Work: Rot repair for exterior siding/trim. Quite a bit of old masonite replaced with matching hardiplank. Several sections of trim, fascia, and a windowsill replaced.

From the beginning, Chris Leon, of Leon Home Repairs, was professional, polite, and on-time. He provided a reasonable estimate within a few days and began the work a week later. He had suggestions about how to do the new shower that worked out really well.Chris brought samples of tile for us to choose from, as well as faucetts and fixtures, and he never complained or charged us for all the extra trips to the hardware store. The employees that worked on the bathroom were very courteous, skilled, and cleaned up everything at the end of each day.The tile work they did was the best I have ever seen. We couldn't be happier with the results.
Description of Work: Leon Home Repairs completely redid our master bathroom. They demolished and removed all of the existing tile, created a new shower, painted, and replaced all of the faucets and old plumbing in our 14 year old tub. Additionally, they installed a closet rod, refinished the front doors, installed kitchen sink faucett, garbage disposal, powder room toilet and cabinet.

The contractor arrived for an estimate without a measuring tape for a wood column that needed work, and didn't measure a window that needed replacing after I provided the tape. The estimate that arrived later was quite a bit more than the package deal and higher than I thought necessary and without a price for materials.
Description of Work: None performed.

Description of Work: The quality of the work was very good, but the service took more than 2 weeks to perform- there was never more than 1 person scheduled to work on the job which drew the process out much longer than anticipated-also, the cost ended up being 30-40% higher than I was originally quoted

I used a Big Deal and even though Chris came out to estimate the job in a timely manner, he had to delay the work due to both volume of his business and then an injury.He kept me informed, however, and was reachable by e-mail and phone.I found all three men who came here to be polite, professional and personable. They did their work, it looks good and they cleaned up afterwards.One small thing was that I wasn't told when they were going to leave their trailer in our street for a full day until they could return. We discussed this, however, and my overall experience with this company was good.

They showed up right on time, wasted no time getting the work done, and were very professional in their manner. There were a couple of minor things I asked them to retouch, and they did gladly and without hesitation. I would not hesitate to hire Chris Leon again in the future for other projects.
Description of Work: Chris Leon and his crew power-washed my vinyl siding, replaced rotted wood around three door frames (including the garage), did some trim-work painting both around the door frames they repaired and others (including large front door frame and front windows), and replaced the weather-stripping around my garage.

It was one person who ripped out everything and replaced new ones. He got it done on a day’s time. The only disadvantages were that I had to wait long for him to schedule and I didn’t get an itemized bill for the materials. The job was fine and I was happy.
