McLeod Construction

Our condo association hired McLeod to install new siding and windows. While the project took approximately an extra month, the job looks acceptable. The problem came about when they were finishing up by painting the doors, which took place around the end of June. As part of painting my front door, they removed the old weather stripping, which is understandable. After two weeks went by, I contacted the project manager (Isel) to find out when the new weather stripping would be installed. I was told that they were waiting for the paint to dry and that the crew would be revisiting the site shortly.
After two weeks, I contacted Isel, again asking when the weather stripping would be installed. Once again, he informed me that they were waiting for the paint to dry on the doors before proceeding. Keep in mind, this was towards the beginning of the warm stretch that we experienced; 80 degrees every day. I have experience with painting an family members who own their own painting company. I know that paint would not take over two weeks to cure. I continued to contact Isel every two to four weeks. I received an additional excuse, which was that the weather stripping that was going to be used was sticking to the doors and removing the paint after the door was opened.
Fast forward to the beginning of October; yes, 3 ½ months after the door was painted. As I write this review, McLeod has finally started installing the new weather stripping. I suppose that I should be happy that they did so before winter arrived.
Based on the appearance of either incompetence or just a simple lack of follow through and care to finish the work, I would highly advise selecting a different company if you are looking to have construction work performed on your home.

My condo management hired this company to fix a bunch of problems that arose after a shower pipe broke within the wall. It was a mistake to hire this company… At first we were told it would take 2 – 3 weeks for everything to dry out. Our unit had the least damage out of the others. A week later it was pushed to 4 – 5 weeks because there was more water damage than expected. We were never contacted by the company or the «project manager,» Stephany. They keys to our unit were «lost or thrown away» multiple times. They wouldn’t lock the doors when they would be done working, leaving them unlocked throughout the night. Communication was horrible with the managers and company. When we finally got in contact with Stephany, she was very apologetic and we thought everything would turn around. We asked when it was projected to be finished, and it was pushed out another 3 weeks. By this time we had already been out of the condo for a month with hardly any work done to it. The plumbing got pushed back a week, because they couldn’t access the condo above ours. Once again, no one from the company communicated that with us. We found that out a couple days into the week it was pushed back. We would go during the day sometimes and only find ONE worker there in the middle of the afternoon… The resident behind us informed us that he had sold his unit because he had experienced even worse problems with the company. He also told us that they had to set up rat traps in his apartment because they had left the doors open so much and rats or mice had got in… The walls between our two condos were open during most of the construction so the mice could be in all the condos in the unit… still with no communication from Stephany or the company. Our neighbor also informed us that they had left his screen doors and windows open and came back a couple times to find doors wide open with no one around… they had also changed his locks without letting him know… Overall, this company has shown ZERO professional skill at all. They lack a huge amount of communication and time management skills. The only positive was that the initial workers who came to dry the water were nice… The project managers hardly do anything to help you and don’t seem to care at all about deadlines or the displacement of their clients homes they are «working on.» I would avoid this company at all costs.

My experience with McLeod was horrible. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They send out people who are very sloppy, for example, leaving my doors unlocked, leaving footprints on the carpet, etc. The project managers (mine was Stephany) are no help. I was told at first that it would take 2 weeks for my place to be completed. The time frame has been pushed back week after week, and is now finally at a little over 2 months. The people at McLeod are poor with time management, and also cannot seem to communicate with the clients they serve. Honestly, I am not sure how a business is able to operate with such terrible and mismanaged employees.

The only people that tried to actually help and did an amazing job coordinating everything were Stephany and Jesse.
Everyone else (people taking out my dry wall, fixing, painting and installing everything) did horrible from McLeod.
The «painters» or «contractors» or whoever was taking out my dry wall and painting did a very sloppy job.
I had to repeat myself several times to: not leave any lines when painting or make the walls look even in color and texture or please do not open my door to people knocking without my permission.
Greg and Drew were the ones that were painting and finishing with the dry walls, ceilings, etc.
They left a huge mess of dust ALL over my home. Before anyone started working on my home they promised it would be a fast and near job. Nope. Took more than 3 weeks and it was super messy.
My kitchen lights had dust, I asked who will fix that and was told cleaning would come in but cleaner was not able to reach so Greg came back in and dusted my kitchen lights with A DIRTY PAINT BRUSH
When I told him the paint he did and the paint on my other walls doesn’t match he said «close enough» …
I had to contact the project manager, Stephany to resolve this because he wasn’t even listening to what I was saying.
Then he kept using my paper towels, using my restroom and then leaving a huge mess of water splashed everywhere, wanting paper from me to make notes
SO UNPROFESSIONAL … at the end I had enough, emailed Stephany and thanked her for trying to help and now STILL have to clean my kitchen lights on the ceiling.:(
Unless you want to keep repeating yourself and having to take time out of your day to contact the project manager
DO NOT use Mcleod… or at least don’t have Greg and Drew work on your place
I even had to repeat myself that my carpet was professionally cleaned from their mess (thankfully Stephany arranged it) and I wanted them to put a cover over it or take off their shoes since I didn’t want a dirty carpet again
Oh yea, I got a huge red carpet stain and told them about it and Brian (another worker) said «well that looks like cool aid» NO I NEVER DRINK COOL AID… I don’t even drink anything red .it was from their red chalk
I’m just glad they’re gone but thankful to Stephany for helping me out. The people they contracted to do my kitchen floors did a perfect job. Very amazed with their quick and amazing job. The cleaner they contracted (Melody) was pretty good, just couldn’t reach my kitchen light fixtures since they were put up without being dusted first… Gregs fault, I even had to remind him that the lights had to be put back up… Seriously…
There were other problems Greg and Drew and some other people caused (forgot their names) but I don’t want to spend any more time thinking about their lazy and sloppy work
I am thankful Jesse (worked on my unit for 1 day) brought a hepa filter later (to not have so much debris and dust) and tried fixing a few mistakes from the previous people
