Leita Contracting Co

He did a terrible job. He said he cleaned the floors before he began but realized afterward that the water had not been on during that time so he could not have washed. He rolled on the stain and left terrible lines. He said those would go away when he came back and sprayed the second coat. It did get better but you could still see some lines. He was supposed to scrub and wet vac the entire area before the finishing coat, as well as a final mop with clean water. Again, he was in and out so quickly there is no way he had time to wash it. Then, when he put on the top coat, he used a spray gun to put it on instead of rolling it. We had to go back and scrub it off and redo it ourselves. He showed up late on several days. He would say he was coming at a certain time but not show up. He also had the nerve to call and say that he went ahead and took the last of the clear coat since would wouldn't be using it. He was highly unprofessional. I would NEVER recommend this person to anyone.

Leita Construction was contracted to repair a chain link fence on our property. For one, they miscalculated the footage on the fence, how can a fence contractor not know basic math and should we have to pay for HIS mistake, I think not! They were told that we wanted to use one of the original swing gates and he failed to put the new post where the original one had been causing it not to fit correctly. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out and I have before and after photos to prove where the post originally was. He claims it was because the original gate was damaged which is not the case. They were very unprofessional and would not right their wrong. We will NEVER use their services again. We just wanted to let others know this so they would not have the same experience we did with this contractor. They started the job okay but finished it terribly. We are very disappointed.
