LEIGHS CONSTRUCTION CO/Fine Line Cabinets

Wanting to replace the old tile countertops in the kitchen and dated counters and fixtures in the bathrooms, we contracted with Leigh's.  The estimate was easy to understand, and I could pick and choose which jobs we would have them do.  (for example: we received estimates for refacing both bathroom vanities, but decided not to have it done.)  I had other bids which were similar in price, but I chose Leigh's because I liked some of the idea's Jeremy Leigh gave to me, and he seemed detail oriented and efficient.  He tried to give me ideas to help with cost, and didn't push me to get all new everything (like sinks and toilets which were in perfect shape) as some of the other contractors did.
We chose our counters and fixtures from different locations in town, and Diane coordinated everything from pickup to ordering. 
When it was time to start the work, the crews were on time, polite, worked hard, and took care to clean up after themselves each day when they left.  We got to know many of the workers by name, a little about them, and all-in-all it was stress free and efficient.  If a problem came up, I was told about it right away, Charles, the project manager and/or Jeremy was contacted for advice, and the issue was immediately taken care of.  The crew went above and beyond to make sure everything looked perfect. Subcontractors were also friendly and detail oriented.
 
Over the years I've worked with several contractors, and this was probably the easiest and best experience I've had.
I would highly recommend Leigh's Construction.  

It was less smooth than the previous experience I had with them but they got the job done. As a company, they have been really good. They do take an extended period to send a bill but the price was very reasonable.

UPDATE: I am updating my review based on my experience after the completion of this job. We had numerous issues with leaking around the shower, which were eventually fixed with additional caulking, but we also had at least three issues with the flange around the shower drain first breaking into pieces (it was plastic initially) and leaking into the closet below, and then the repair leaking at least twice after that. My main gripe is that I believe the re-work should have been performed by a professional plumber, but they kept sending out the carpenter to fix it. At this point, we have decided that if it leaks again, we will hire a plumber to fix it ourselves because I have lost faith that it can be done right. 

ORIGINAL:
I felt good about the contractor as soon as I got the estimate from Jeremy (the owner), because I could tell he was really listening to what I wanted in the bathroom. He was very easy to contact by phone or email, and that really helped with my own busy schedule. He and his staff worked very hard to help me find the right vanity solution that fit my budget because the original one was an odd size and difficult to replace. I had a pretty tight budget, and he really helped me find ways to stay within it. 
Once I chose everything, they ordered it quickly, but once the vanity came in, Jeremy was concerned about the quality of the vanity they received, and they returned it for a new one before setting a start date. Once they started the work, they moved quickly through demolition and got started on plumbing and removal of wallpaper, followed by installation of flooring. During this time, it seemed to be taking longer to match the texturing of the walls than I expected, but I trusted they knew what they were doing. 
I had to leave town at that point, and I had to leave the process in my husband's hands. He expressed concerns about the texture finish on the walls, but otherwise, everything got finished and the walls and trim painted. I returned from my trip, and I was really unhappy with the wall texture, as well as some trim missing underneath the open-base vanity. I contacted Jeremy late on a Friday night and he responded and came by to see the work by Saturday morning. He offered to retexture and paint the walls to match the rest of the house with knockdown texture, instead of the sand texture that he said was very difficult to match. He also discussed with me what I wanted them to do with trim under the vanity, as a box would need to be built around some pipes and integrated with the rest of the trim. They came back the following Monday and finished the work that day. 
I take some responsibility for not questioning the texturing process sooner, because I had assumed the texture would match the knockdown in the rest of the house originally, but I never confirmed that. I even offered to pay for the additional work, but Jeremy did not charge me for the rework. 
I was very pleased with how the overall project turned out, within budget and looking very nice. I was especially pleased with how well everyone kept me in the loop. The staff I worked with for scheduling and other questions were great, very helpful, friendly, and easy to get in touch with. The employees that worked in my house were also all very friendly and did a great job of cleaning up everyday, which was especially important, given that the master bathroom was in our bedroom, which we were still using during the project.

Leigh Construction did a really fine job. The bid was fair, but Jeremy took 5% off for an Angie's Deal, then he deducted $125 on top of that because he did not need to move electrical wires after all when installing the pet door. As soon as the door came it, it was installed; work was started on Thursday and completed Friday. Everything was demonstrated and explained, but the best and most surprising thing was the careful clean up! Who does that? Well, now I know that Leigh Construction does. It might be a little detail, but it is a telling detail that shows the quality that Jeremy puts into his work.

In my rental, I had to replace a shower door that I had ordered from Lowe's before my new renter was to move in. I called on Sunday and left a message on their machine about need this done very quickly. On Monday I received a call back and we were able to schedule the job for the next day.  The job was done quickly and looked great. Everything was done with care and I was completely satisfied. I will use them again when I need something done.

it went great...a huge job well done.

I absolutely love them. They were very personable. I think I spent more time talking to the guys more of general stuffs and they were absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough things about them. Everybody that came here that works for Leighs from electrical to plumbing all of them were absolutely amazing. They are actually going to remodel my complete kitchen too.

Didn't go at all.  He never got back to us after the initial contact.

We liked them. They had some really good ideas. They were fine.

Leighs were really good.

They were timely. They did a good job, responded to any questions I had.

The painters did a good job and cleaned up very nicely after the job.

The project went smoothly from initial conversation through the clean up. Leighs Construction provided high quality and professional service throughout the project. All of the workmen and subcontractors were skilled and polite. The management and office staff are knowledgeable and polite. The project went quickly with daily progress. I have only compliments and no complaints.
When I have another renovation project I will certainly contact Leighs Construction.

Although Leighs advertised FHA 203 k as part of their portfolio we were told by the person on the phone that it couldn't be done and we would be required to pay for any pre-work inspections. We put them in contact with our mortgage broker since perhaps we hadn't explained an FHA 302 k loan properly. Our mortgage broker had the same response from the folks on the phone at Leigh's. We purposely selected them because of the high rating AND the FHA 203 k listing but we were decidedly surprised at the negative response.

He was very professional arrived ontime and seemed very knowledgable. I didn't use him because although he offered suggestions for my project, he was a bit pricey in my opinion.

We are not quite done with the project, but their staff has been easy to work with and the quality of the work has been excellent.

It was a very good bid, he was just outbid a little by another contractor. Jeremy was professional, he explained his process for painting cabinets thoroughly, and explained that he also did some services that we might need done as well, and we may very well use him for those services. I highly recommend him.

Built a new computer workstation and modified another.  They did a great job reusing and reconfiguring a set of cabinets.  They were prompt, punctual and had good communication.

He really needs to change his voicemail greeting stating that, "your business is very important to us," because in the end it obviously isn't.

They're very expensive. I didn't go with them because their bid was so much higher than everybody else that I got. I have a bathroom that is being remodeled and it seems like their bid was around $9,000 for it. It would be to gut the whole thing, I wasn't very clear from the bid, I asked them to itemized it because some of the work needed to have a plumber and as I recall they really never did that, it was just a blinded bid. They're very nice people, they followed up, I had to reschedule a couple of times, they were very courteous, on time, and I have no complaints about the people themselves. The only problem I had is that I couldn't afford them. I checked up on their Oregon license and they have no complaints against them or anything like that and as far as that's concerned I think they probably be really good, it's just that they outbid everybody else. You can't fault them for wanting to make money, I just knew that it was a lot of profit just by the other bids that I've received, there was just a lot of meat that was built into theirs. It seems like they have really good marks on Angie's List and that's what I go by, I trust their rating and stuff so based on that I would probably have them come back again.

I have been watching Leigh's Construction on Angies list for two years and knew from the nature or reviews that this company would be the one for me for this type of job.  The job went better than I expected.

First there is Diane.  She is in constant communication, keeps track of progress and makes sure every last detail gets done.

  My situation, I had 3 bathrooms all different and she never mixed them up.  She is a fun upbeat positive person, the crew respects her and because of her 'people skills',  and professionalism, she is a vital part of the 'engine' that keeps progress running smoothly. 

The  crew:  Skilled, respectful to the customer and one another, always focused, honest, and always remained positive.  They do not leave the task until it is absolutely perfect.  Also, they are sensitive on pet issues and will go to lengths to accommodate.  You alert Diane and she will make sure all understand and abide by your needs.

Cherry City Interiors:  Jeremy Leigh has an account here and this is  a wonderful place to choose products.  Here, Samantha will quickly determine one's taste and put together some nice combinations, be it tile, formica, granit, carpet and she will recommend and has swatches of paint choices from Sherwin Williams.

The contract:  Jeremy creates a contract with monetary allowances on fixtures and products which gives one the freedom to go lower than budget or higher.

Because of the crew and the recommendations of CCI, I have 3 gorgeous showroom quality bathrooms and because of Diane, it was a pleasant experience.

The short story is that working with Leigh's was a dream come true.  After working with some other contractors in the recent past, I had a feeling right from the start the Leigh's was operating at a complete different level above who I had worked with previously.  Over the two weeks of the project (which was started and completed exactly on time), my feelings about Leigh's were validated. 
Jeremy Leigh came to my home for a quote appointment on time.  His demeanor was quiet and confident.  It was clear that this was not his first Rodeo.  He brought a little tablet device and took pictures with it and made notes on it.  He listened closely to us and gave good suggestions.  He provided his quote on time via email and it included a 3D rendering (not quite like Property Brothers, but quite good).  I agreed to the quote and we set a date to get started.  The work actually started a little early after a call asking if the cabinet doors and drawers could be removed a couple of days in advance.
A few days later, the crew arrived on time to begin the demo.  They took great pains to install "doors" made of plastic, tape and more plastic to keep the dust out of the rest of the house.  I am not going to give a play by play, but I will say that the guys were very pleasant and respected my home.  They cleaned up as much as possible at the end of each day.  The coordination with the sub-contractors was excellent and I believe was part of the reason the schedule was kept.  The work was completed on time and Jeremy made a final walkthrough to check for quality. 
All in all, I have no complaints.  In fact, I have hired Leigh's again to update a bathroom and all is going well so far on that project as well.

After reading good reviews for this company I was very disappointed with the response I got when contacting them for a painting bid and a bid for a deck.  The first call was returned promptly and I was told that it was a busy time of year and that it would take a week or so to get back an estimate.  I Emailed all the information to the person I was told to and waited for a response.  After a week I tried calling the office several times and the phone was never answered by an actual person or even with a recorded message indicating the business name.  I finally left a message and an Email 3 weeks later asking about the bid.  Several days later I received a call apologizing and saying they were too busy to do the work.   With Email and cell phones there is no excuse for not getting a response.  Several of the other contractors on the list called back promptly even though they could not do the work.
