First Leaf Construction

I reached out to First Leaf Construction to install drywall and reframe and rebuild a large bathroom cabinet interior after a water leak.  This was a joy after my recent horrible experience with unethical so called "restoration" companies who don't actually fix leaks or restore anything.

I found First Leaf is ethical, charges a fair price and does exactly what they say they will do.  They understand how to build trust: I can't say enough good things about Jason and Oscar's work, two experienced craftsmen assigned to the job.  They were first class.  It was a pleasure doing business with you.  I have some large projects in mind for the future and First Leaf will be my go-to choice.

Jeremy the Handyman, of First Leaf Construction, quoted me $1,505.00 to hang several small sun shades in my backyard.  The work was completed a few months ago, with me providing the sun shades and Jeremy providing the miscellaneous hardware.  As you know we had some heavy winds the beginning of February and during that time the shades were blown down.  Several potted plants, cactus and strands of lights were destroyed, resulting in a few hundred dollars' worth of damage.  

I had two other contractors assess the installation.  Both contractors told me they would have installed the sun shades differently. Jeremy was contacted to access the damage and make the installation right.  Jeremy's solution was an additional estimate of $975 to reinstall the shades the way the other contractors would have done. I was not expecting any of the original damages to be reimbursed only that the shades be reinstalled and in a manner that they would not blow over in the next wind storm. I replied to the additional estimate of $975 with surprise and shocked that there would be an additional charge.  Jeremy then replied with "seek another vendor".
I then asked him to please come back and rehang the lights as they were originally.  No reply!
Today I received another email from Jeremy quoting a lower price on his 2nd estimate. After all of the above, he stated that he was clear on not being comfortable hanging the sails as others would have.  If he was not comfortable, why did he hang them initially and for 1505.00?

I feel I've been taken advantage of and am disheartened and disappointed that he did not stand by his work and make this small project right.
Unprofessional, not trustworthy.

Jeremy and his crew tore down my sun room that hadn't been built to code, had significant water and termite damage, a roof that wasn't sloped properly and a litany of other issues. They rebuilt it as part of the house, with a ceiling that is now level, air conditioning (!), insulation, and a door and window pattern that makes sense.  Throughout this project, they were always on time and very respectful of mine. Jeremy was very transparent when there was issues, especially when fixing them would come at an additional cost, and kept me in the loop as the project progressed.

The room has weathered three major storms and not once have I had water or other external debris in the house as I would have before. It is wonderful to be able to use this new room functionally, instead of the waste of space it was before.

This is not my first time using First Leaf construction and it certainly won't be my last.

Jeremy is OUTSTANDING and the other individuals at First Leaf reflect his high standards and concern for quality.  We recently had a hot water problem and that was fixed quickLy.  We had doors -- which had been beat up by years of sun and rain -- sanded and painted and they now look like new again.  Finally, we had about 15 years worth of so-called protective coating carefully removed from a wood door and it was refinished by First Leaf.  Highly recommend First Leaf Construction.

We have trusted and relied on First Leaf Construction for all our projects large and small over four to five years.  Jeremy and his team was always been the epitome of trustworthy, capable, exceptionally skilled, and highly responsive.  We would not consider putting our home and sanctuary in the hands of any one else.  Admittedly, we have our moments and maybe demanding, but Jeremy has always been accommodating, gracious, and committed to the very highest standards. I think he even may be amused with our idiosyncrasies.  For those concerned about cost, Jeremy is ever fair and reasonable.  Turn to First Leaf Construction with all your home remodeling needs and you will not be disappointed.

I'm a returning customer of First Leaf Construction.  This time, Jeremy and team did an outstanding job fixing my old garage doors, replacing rotten window frame wood and patching areas of stucco for painting prep.  I really appreciate their attention to detail and problem solving with my older home.  Can't rave enough about First Leaf Construction, highly recommend!  Thank you.

First Leaf/Jeremy was fantastic in responding to my need. I had a previous contractor leave me in a bad place, and Jeremy came in and made everything perfect. Thanks to both Jeremy and his lovely wife who kept me informed about what was happening, answered my questions and enabled me to complete the sale of a home! I definitely recommend Jeremy and his crew!
