Response from Lebens Improvements
Please forgive the lack of response in June. We suffered a loss in our family and I was spent almost two months packing, fixing and selling out of state. I was largely out of pocket for two months. It was a hard time and difficult process. As you can see by my reports, I carry an A rating. Life and schedule is back to normal now and I again apologize for not responding.

What a sweetheart - loved Tyler and the work he did for us (installed our kitchen floor). The floor came out perfect and having Tyler around was a joy. Actually we plan to have him back to do all of the finish work in our kitchen AND tile our bathrooms.
Description of Work: Installed porcelain tile in our kitchen.

We had an unfinished room that was converted into a playroom for our kids. It has a window seat, a play nook, and a small kitchen area - cabinets, bar sink, refrigerator - in addition to the larger room. So our project included HVAC, plumbing, electrical, drywall, hardwood flooring, door removal & installation, insulation, & some custom woodwork. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Tyler did a great job on all aspects of the project and was just a pleasure to work with. He was punctual, flexible, tidy (which is hard with drywall dust), and did exactly what he said he was going to do. He had good ideas & worked with us to come up with the best solution for our room. I would hire him for another project or recommend him to my friends without hesitation.

After torrential rains, our new roof leaked at the chimney to the point where water poured down the wall. Once the roofers corrected their error, the wall was badly stained. As we really didn't like the fireplace mantle or surround, we had it replaced since we would be repainting anyway. This is the focal point of our home and we wanted the paint job on fireplace and wall to be perfect. Adding to the inclination to not do amateur work was the new surround is travertine marble--very porous and unforgiving of alien substances such as paint. Mr. Lebens was immediately response via email, and scheduled a time to come estimate the work. He emailed an estimate within 3 days of his visit. The amount did not include wall paint, but did include the mantle paint. He worked our small job in while doing another larger one, and came 4 days in all to do the various steps of the work. He even bought a new brush so the job would be seamless, and it was. He used the shop vac while sanding the sheetrock mud down, to minimize dust; policed the area before leaving each time. He was flexible and considerate of our time.
Description of Work: Newly installed fireplace mantle unpainted, stained wall from water damage. Caulk, prep mantle with primer and wall areas with Kilz, repair wall nailpops, paint entire wall one coat, fireplace two coats.

I had a hose burst on my washing machine and significant water damage which required new drywall, texture and paint in my garage and laundry, and drywall repair in several other rooms and closets. They also installed tile in my bathroom, replaced the toiliet, and painted it, as well as installing cabinets in my laundry area. Although it was tedious and messy work, they came when they said they would and made good progress until it was completed. Very good about checking with me, especially at the end to make sure that I was happy. I am very pleased with the result. I spoke with a number of contractors before choosing Lebens Improvement. After it was all said and done, I thought the estimate was reasonable and was impressed by the timeliness of the response and followup and professionalism. Since I was also working with some other installers at the time, I appreciated the fact that I had a timeline that I could rely upon so that everything could be scheduled in a timely fashion. I was at work while most of the repairs were done, but this presented no problems whatsoever.

Did not go well overall, since we did not get an estimate or call back.
Description of Work: To quote from their web site, "How many times have you placed a call to a contractor, only to sit by the phone for a return call that never comes?" This is what you get when you call Lebens Improvements! After meeting with us at our house and and taking a look at our remolding project-- contractor never provided an estimate -- even after we contacted him for follow up. He would not even return a phone call.

Response from Lebens Improvements
WE ACTUALLY STATED THAT WE WOULD EMAIL A PROPOSAL AFTER OUR MEETING. UPON FIGURING THE JOB, WE CONCLUDED THAT THERE WERE TOO MANY PARTS OF THIS PROJECT THAT WERE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF OUR LICENSE. WE DID GET A PHONE CALL ABOUT THE BID ON THE SAME DAY THAT AN EMAIL WAS SENT OUT STATING THAT WE WOULD NOT BE BIDDING ON THE PROJECT. AN "F" RATING IS VERY UNREASONABLE, CONSIDERING THAT I SPENT 2 HOURS ON THE ROAD TO AND FROM THE RESIDENTS, AND ONE AND ONE HALF HOUR VISITING ABOUT VAGUE DETAILS. ALSO AN HOUR REVIEWING THE NOTES AND MAKING CALLS TO A FEW SUBS. ONE MORE NOTE IS THAT THE BASEMENT AREA WAS CLUTTERED FULL FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER WITH ONLY A SMALL PATH TO TIP TOE THROUGH. THERE WERE NO PLANS DRAWN AND ONLY A HANDFUL OF IDEAS POINTED OUT FROM CORNER TO CORNER OVER THE CLUTTERED ROOM. I SPENT TIME ON THIS AND IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THAT ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH LEBENS IMPROVEMENTS AS SHOWN BY OUR STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD "A" RATING. WITH STRAIGHT A'S, IT'S TOO BAD THAT SOMEONE CAN MESS UP A PERFECT SCORE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET A QUOTE.

This guy is amazing. He and his son worked all day long and into the night to complete our rush job (2 weeks!) and got it done with time to spare. Followed up with a call to make sure everything was ok and if he could further help out in any way. I have a vacation house he will also be working on very soon. Highly Recommended.
Description of Work: Installed framing and insulation for kitchen, dining room, breakfast room and den. Moved electrical outlets in all rooms and completely finished off with drywall, sanding and painting. We could not be more thrilled with his work and dedication to finishing the job.

Tyler made multiple visits to diagnose the shower leaks. Systematically eliminated problems as he found them. All water damage repairs were done with attention to detail. Extremely happy with his work. I have a laundry list of other handyman items for him to work on now as well. Very positive experience.
Description of Work: Tyler worked through multiple problems with two leaking showers. Turns out both showers which were initially installed by the builder were done so with lackluster detail. Drywall and ceiling repairs were performed from water damage. Painting was also performed. All top-notch work.

They were excellent, It was just shocking. He was a contractor that showed-up every day and worked long hours and did what he was suppose to do. He was a perfectionist in his work. He is very trustworthy, he left the area in neat order when they left.
