Why people hire John twice.
Owner John Leahy is on the job himself, with a small crew and trusted subcontractors. A lot of the reviews start with “this is the second time” or “the third project”.
About John and the crew →The quote is the price
Reviewers keep saying it: what John quoted is what they paid, even when small extras got added along the way.
“His quote was just what he charged me, even after I asked him to repair a couple of small walls for me.”
Clean site, every day
Tools put away and debris out at the end of each day, so you can still use the rest of your house while we work.
“The work area was always kept neat & clean at the end of the day with little disruption to other living spaces.”
Shows up when he says
Start dates hold. Texts get answered. For a trade with a no-show reputation, that alone wins a lot of second jobs.
“He did what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it and was very professional in doing so.”
