Tim Lea is an excellent builder. His vision of the garage and location was exactly what I was anticipating. The secondary garage was built to house yard equipment and a tool shop, while the upstairs is an art studio. The garage is stylized with a peak on each of the sides creating a unique look that matches well with our home. Tim made sure to build the garage a little off from the house and to the back so it would create an excellent patio area on the lower level outside of our walkout basement. He also built the first floor of the garage to be nearly level with the first level of our home, which allowed him to build the deck with a connecting walkway over to the second story of the garage. He then added the staircase from the entry point of the second story of the garage down to the patio area. It's a very nice, enclosed, and private area for entertaining friends and family. He quoted the work as a range, with low and high depending on what types of materials we used. He managed to find us a good deal on the trek material used for the deck, and he matched the siding and trim work of the garage to match our home. He completed the second floor with insulation, drywall, and finished it off. I had requested the first floor remain unfinished as it's a tool shop, but he did place insulation around the foundation to help keep the lower level warmer. Tim did contract out the electrical, which also turned out fine. The only issue we had was that the job started in October, but did not finish until Feb. or March of the following year. We weren't in a rush, but I had witnessed many times the guy Tim was using to build the majority of the garage was doing nothing. He would show up very late, take long lunches, leave early, and spend much of the time he was here either on his phone or sitting around the garage. It became apparent he was bilking Tim on hours. Whenever Tim came out on site and did work, we would always be amazed at how much got accomplished . Towards the end Tim started mentioning that the job was costing more than he anticipated. We had to tell him about his guy and how we didn't think he was working all the hours he might have been billing him. Tim said he suspected that and had already let him go. He didn't charge us any extra, which we were thankful for, but felt bad he wasn't watching his guy more closely to know what was happening. Tim also gave us a great deal on patio bricks, which we used when we had our landscaping done. We would definitely use him again in the future, and I'm sure he will watch his guys more closely moving forward. He's a great guy; Very friendly, and always looking for the extra wow he can give the customer. We do need to contact him as a couple of the siding pieces his guy installed are falling, and we have no way of getting them back into place.
