TESTIMONIALS

“We started working with Leo Al in 1997, the year we first acquired our log cabin cottage. Over the years, Leo helped us with repairing and renovating the old place, until we finally decided last year to tear it down and rebuild.

Leo’s sons Jim and Dave, his daughter Jan, and family crew, took us through a process that normally would be stressful, having to demolish and then entirely rebuild. However, from start to finish, the Al family always had a very helpful “work with” attitude in taking our plan and turning it into a reality. They looked both after small and large details with flexibility and our communication throughout was great.

We are very pleased with the quality, craftsmanship and finish of our new summer place (and the stone patio). We know we made the right decision to go with Leo Al’s Contracting for our custom-built cottage.

We value our continued friendship with the Al family. Thank you for giving us the summer place we had been dreaming about for years.”

"It would take at least a full year of seasons for us to really appreciate the great gift you have given us, in the building of our new summer home. Every day, I find something new about our gorgeous cottage that makes me appreciate your craftsmanship, dedication and professionalism. The brilliant finished product is testament to and artful process, wherein you each did your substantial part. Even after working with you for more than a year, I still can't figure out exactly who did which part, but it seems to me like an orchestra - where each artist does his or her own thing, but in synchronization with each other, and the cumulative outcome is a work of art.

I need to acknowledge, of course the excellent trades and suppliers you engaged - the tile guys and the painters, and really, everyone from the demolition crew to the plumber - they all did a first-rate job on this project, usually with you earnest encouragement and supervision. We thank them all.

I'm sure we were both wary, and a bit daunted at the start of this huge project - lots of potential for things to go wrong, or relationships to be strained by the weight of the details - but just the opposite happened. Almost everything went smoothly and according to schedule and I felt I gained new friends in the process. None of this happened by accident (except the weather); your careful attention to details, your excellent working relationships, built up over time - with each other and with our suppliers - made this work as smoothly as it did.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We just love out new home, and feel so lucky to be living here. Your integrity and craftsmanship made this a really rich experience - one I almost wish I could repeat!"

"A big thank you to all the guys for their patio building efforts.

The results are great and we all are enjoying it immensely.

All the Al's Contracting jobs over the years have come together to form such a great retreat. We know we have more projects to come and wanted to say "thanks" for the hard work and "to budget" builds.

Our thanks."
