Reviews
Finally, a plumber I can actually trust! "I recently hired [StressLee] for some bathroom plumbing work, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the initial quote to the final cleanup, everything was handled with total professionalism. They were punctual, explained exactly what needed to be done, and the quality of the work is top-tier. It’s such a relief to have everything working perfectly again. If you’re looking for someone who does the job right the first time without any hidden surprises, look no further!
Easy to work with. Very pleasant and explained exactly what the problem with my outdoor socket was and effieiently replaced it. Will use them again.
They were very good would definitely use them again
Very responsive, quick to solve my window replacement.
We hired Leo to remove a large window in our bathroom and replace it with a transom window. The new window looks great as does the brickwork to close up the space outside. He did a great job! Leo is hard working, honest and responsive. His fee was reasonable. We would hire Leo again.
Needed help with installing an exterior light. Representative was professional, did great quality work, and cleaned up after he finished the job.
Leo did a great job, was very professional, and was very consultative and helpful throughout the process.
Great customer service!
StressLess Construction assisted me with various projects in my home. Also provided great ideas to make the projects look better and even recommend cost effective options. Will continue to use him.
Hired StessLess Construction to add an additional ceiling fan to our screened in patio. Leo was extremely responsive and provided a very competitive quote on the work. Despite a few unexpected curve balls, Leo met all of our expectations that included high quality work within a few hours. I would highly recommend StressLess Construction for your next project!
Leo was extremely professional. He answered in under 5 minutes and was honest and straightforward with the task. Never once made us feel like he was not looking out for our best interest. 10/10 would hire him for any task I have. Nice knowing there are trustworthy people out there to help
Leo was courteous, professional, and punctual throughout the project. He was easy to reach and promptly responded to all texts and calls. The window replacement was completed efficiently and to a high standard. I would highly recommend him for any construction work
He got the job done
This review is long overdue—I should have posted it two or three weeks ago. It might have saved some people from disaster. I gave Leo one star only because there’s no option for a negative rating. **Word of advice:** Stay away from Leo at all costs. If you’ve received a quote—throw it away. If your project has just started—fire Leo immediately and find someone else. If it’s too late and the damage is already done—welcome to the club. Try to recover some of your money, though you’ll likely only cover a fraction of the damages and rework costs. Leo chose a highly misleading name for his company—he should have called it “Stressful Something.” I hired him for a relatively simple job: install two non-structural drywall walls, one with a French door. Leo is a good salesman, very convincing when discussing the project and negotiating the quote. Unfortunately, that’s where his skills end. ### Issues with Leo’s work: - **Timing:** He promised to complete the project in 4–5 days. After a month, it was still unfinished. - **Framing & Drywalling:** The dummy wall was passable, but the wall with the door was improperly framed—one side was vertical, the other wasn’t. - **Painting:** Leo has no clue about proper drywall preparation and priming. I had to hire someone else to strip his work and repaint it correctly. - **Unskilled Labor:** He constantly brought in new, inexperienced workers—people he had never worked with before—just to "see what they could do" on my project. ### Leo caused more damage than repairs: - **Hardwood Floor Damage:** He made a 10-inch-long, 1/8-inch-deep cut in my engineered hardwood—completely unrelated to the project. The damage is beyond buffing. Worse, this flooring is over eight years old and no longer available from the manufacturer, so patching is not an option. The only fix? Replace the entire 1,700 sq. ft. living area floor. The lowest estimate I received is over **$10,000**. - **French Door Damage:** He drilled an unnecessary hole in the pre-made French door for a locking mechanism that wasn’t needed. To make matters worse, he damaged the PVC coating while drilling. The door cannot be repaired and must be replaced—**$2,500** in parts and labor. ### The worst part? Leo is a liar and a cheat: - He tries to **hide** his mistakes instead of being upfront. - After damaging my floor, he **covered it up for days** and said nothing. On the very day he caused the damage, he even tried to scam me into paying the remaining project balance. He never provided a reasonable explanation for why he was using a cutting tool near my floor in the first place. - To cover up the damage to the French door, he **misaligned the door handle** to hide the drilled-out section. He never admitted the damage until I confronted him with pictures—at which point he stopped showing up at my house altogether. I have years of experience dealing with contractors, and I know that every project can have issues—some minor, some major. But considering the size of this job compared to the sheer amount of damage and dishonesty, this was **by far my worst experience ever.** **Again, do not hire Leo for anything. Find someone else.**
Would definitely recommend.
Excellent job, i will use his services again and 100% recommended.
Leo is very knowledgeable and has done a great job fixing the problems left by the previous owners. He's the first person we text when we need something done.
