Leave It To Leo

I did not end up using the deal the service provider said he was not able to get me schedule as he was overwhelmed with the response for his deal.

.

Leo wound up being overbooked due to the popularity of his Big Deal and could not get to us by the time we needed the work done. He was courteous and professional on the phone and tried to come up with alternatives. In the end, Angie's List processed the refund and we were reminded of why we wanted to hire the job out in the first place.

The price Leave It To Leo charged for painting two big rooms and wallpapering one wall was very reasonable. Leo did excellent meticulous work. He is really good at what he does. He does smoke, though he only smokes outside - he has the smoker's cough, so that's a negative. He is a one-man operation. He is responsive, he always answers my phone calls. He is very friendly and gregarious. He did his work; he was clean, presentable and friendly. We figured it took 20 hours to strip the wallpaper in my kitchen.

DID NOT USE

This person did not honor the deal. When I called for an appointment, he was overwhelmed by the response and said he could no longer honor the Angie's list deal. He indicated that he might be able to do the work several weeks down the road, but not for the deal price. I called him several times after that and he never returned the call.

Leo is a real craftsman who takes pride in the work he performs. He arrived on time and completed the job on schedule. His work was professional and of high quality.

never accomplished

I purchased the Angie's List Big Deal for wallpaper removal and drywall repair. I called Leo to schedule an appointment and was informed that due to a severe health condition he would be unable to perform the work. I accepted his explanation and wished him well. I contacted Angie's List for a refund of my Big Deal payment, which they refunded promptly. Overall, this was an unfortunate set of circumstances that prevented any work from being completed, and I wish I could have used Leo to make the necessary repairs to my home.

..see above.

I took advantage of the Angie’s List deal. The guy was here for like 8 hours that day and it was just him. I don’t remember the cost, but I paid whatever the deal was for. He was very attentive. He explained everything he was working on. He was very knowledgeable. He talked me through all the different ways of how people would do the work and don’t do it well. He told me about the chemicals that he uses and why he uses them. He told me all kinds of stuff. He was really good about that. He was great. However, it was an overwhelming job and he wasn’t able to do all the work that I needed done. I had two bedrooms and two bathrooms that were completely covered with wallpaper. It needed to be done in the time frame given, but he didn’t have enough time in that session to do it. However, he did walk through and give me an assessment of the rest of the work. We talked about having him come out and doing some work. So, he came out to do my work. He had been overwhelmed by the number of people who bought the same Angie’s List deal that I did. He was trying to schedule and most were normal regular clientele. I do intend to use his services again. His price was good and fair, but I didn’t price it out with anybody else. My understanding about his price is based on his normal clientele and how much he charges per hour. So, it was fair. When it comes to the quality of work, he did a very thorough job and as much as he could by himself. He does good work for his age, but some of the stuff is a lot more labor intensive. A stronger guy would probably be able to do a little bit more. However, he did great under those circumstances. He was very quick in responding. He was in touch with me within 24 hours to set up an appointment as soon as I contacted him. When it comes to his punctuality, he was there on time for the most part. I think he got a little lost which made him a few minutes late, but he was really there other than that. If he hadn’t got lost, he would have been there exactly on time. He was very professional. There was something that didn’t necessarily bother me. He chatted with me a lot about the details of work, the deal of Angie’s List and some of those things. I engaged with the conversation. In terms of his professionalism in doing the job, he didn’t even stop to take a break. I was concerned about him. I wanted him to take time out to eat. So, I brought him a tray of food and left it in the room, but he never wanted it and continued to work. I don’t think he ever took a break. He was determined to have the job done. He is a nice man and it’s a local business. He knows what he is talking about and does great work. I would definitely use him again in the future.

Intallation was fast. Very professional job.

Leo did a fabulous job. He is meticulously neat and precise. He is a true craftsman. The widow sill looked like it could only be made presentable, but Leo made it look perfect. The stairwell had really been badly painted, with shiny spots, uneven coverage, etc., but Leo made it perfect. He knows his stuff inside and out. He did have to delay the start a week, but that wasn't a big issue for us. He said it would take about three days, and that's what it took. We definitely will call Leo when we have additional painting needs.

A week after he gave us the estimate, Leo came to install the wallpaper. He put it up quickly and efficiently. It turned out beautifully. We couldn't be happier. We plan on asking Leo to hang paper in another room in our house in the next few months.

A great experience. Leo was recommended to me for wallpapering. He also helped correct problems I had with a previous provider who was taking too long to remove wallpaper from my kitchen. That job turned out to be a really difficult one, but as a professional with over 30 years experience, Leo knew what to do and saved me lots of time and money. He also is a pro with painting and was very flexible when I asked him at the last minute to paint my kitchen. His wallpapering skills are beyond excellent. He REALLY knows what he's doing. He's honest, fair and economical.
