Work Description: Install bathroom baseboard and tiles in bathroom

Comments: Unprofessional, didnt complete the job on time.


1. He cheated on the contract by telling me i would only need to pay for the tiles and that he would pay for all the other material...but he then made me also buy all the construction material (hardie tile backerboard, pvc liner sheet, cement board etc.) all of which ran me up several hundred dollars. He refused to pay for these because he considered them "tiles"!!

2. He worked for 3-4 days and then didnt show up for 10 days after that. He claims that he and his men are sick..i understand being sick for 2 days, but it has been more than 15 days since the job started...after repeated requests, he has still not shown up and is now threatening me that I cannot use another contractor to complete the job because of the contract he has with me!
Leo apparently thinks he can come anytime in the next 1 year to finish the job and that he can still hold me to the contract!

I would strongly recomend not using this guy (Leo) and his team (drywall monkey). If you do hire them, i would recomend not paying any money until the job is fully done. Also, have a really good contract in place that spells out all the details of who pays for what and how many days in which to finish the job.

Work Description: baseboard replacement

Comments: Untrustworthy and poor quality work. He was hired to replace baseboards and he installed completely wrong baseboards and did a chop job on the crown molding. He said he would fix it and then stopped answering calls. I am having to file in small claims court to recoup the money.

Work Description: Demolition and Floating walls

Comments: Leo gave a very good impression when he quoted the job. The price was the most competitive price quoted out of 6 contractors. For the demolition work, he was punctual and focused on the job - he was clear that he didn't have any additional projects so I was very happy with the progress. When they started work on repairing drywall and floating the walls to achieve a flat finish, he had taken on 10 additional projects and was stretched for resources. This was very frustrating as the work was not progressing. Leo did not want other contractors working at the house in parallel - even though they were working in other areas of the house. He was very unprofessional to me and my other contractor at this point.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the floating (ceilings, edges, lots of air pocket holes). He made it clear that he wasn't going to finish the job with integrity, so I paid him in full and hired another painter to come and patch up the float job.

Work Description: Mr. Leo Garza has not fully completed the project as of today. He started on June 17th and still as of today, July 16th the job is not done. He scraped the popcorn ceilings and applied a texture, then he was supposed to paint it. This job is not complete. He did replace the damaged Sheetrock and ceiling, but has not returned to finish the painting. He did not remove the insulation nor replace it. It's in the contract, but that's not done either. I've reached out to him several times, but he will not respond. He's given me every excuse, but never hesitated to cash any of my checks. I trusted both you ( Home Advisor) and him ( Leo Garza) to a high standard. I have text records and phone logs of my attempts to make contacts to resolve this matter professionally. He also broke an entry way light and a window that he has not fixed yet. My home is in shambles awaiting his return to finish.
