Committed to Rebuilding Sonoma County uring 40 years of service, LEFF Construction has earned a stellar reputation for integrity and trust from the homeowners of Sonoma County. After the devastating October firestorms, the design and build company served their community in ways it had never done before. Dave Leff said his company is committed to continuing their efforts to remain #SONOMASTRONG. “LEFF has been an important part of the community and takes seriously its commitment to helping Sonoma County rebuild,” Leff said. Dave Leff gave tirelessly of his time to help protect fire victims from unscrupulous contractors while serving on the board of directors of the North Coast Building Exchange, a nonprofit contractors association. He is also active in the North Bay Construction Corps, a five-month after-school training program that introduces high school seniors to careers in construction and the trades. It’s this type of community giving that elevates LEFF Construction, located in Sebastopol, to a higher standard of doing business. Their approach to engaging and keeping “clients for
D
life” has been a vital part of their service equation and has fueled the company’s growth. “The majority of our clients are referrals from past clients, or past clients themselves,” Dave Leff said. As LEFF Construction rapidly grows to fill the demand for remodeling and building custom homes in the area, especially after the fire, they are unswerving in their choice to hire local people and provide good jobs for those who want to work where they live. The award-winning company specializes in whole home remodeling and new home building using the Design Build Method, which saves clients time, money and stress. When the company was founded in 1978, it established itself as an early adopter of green and sustainable building processes when it built the first solar multifamily project in Cotati. Their dedication to sustainable building practices has and always will be a priority in all their endeavors. The company has been recognized for dozens of regional and national awards including 2018 “Guildmaster With Distinction Award” from GuildQuality and “Best of Houzz” for the fourth consecutive year for superior customer service.

A Tire to Fit Everyone’s Budget cLea’s Tire and Automotive has been family-owned in Sonoma County since 1979, with the current owner, Darren McLea, growing up and learning about the business since he was young. He still works with his dad, uncle, brother, and cousin in the shop. They are joined by several employees he describes as “like family” who have worked there more than 20 years—most notably Steve Sosa, Larry Lucia and Ozzie Flores. New this year, Darren is proud to share that his sister Danielle and brother in law Robert are working with him in the offices. McLea has the experience to know friendly customer service and ‘getting it right’ the first time are core to the shop’s long term success. The other part of it, he notes, is listening to the customer and making sure they get what it is they’re looking for – at the price
M
they can afford. “Needing to come in and replace your tires can be a necessity, worn tires are unsafe and can affect the efficiency of your car and the gas mileage,” McLea said, “We understand – we have fami-
lies, too. We also know that going to a tire shop isn’t as fun as going to Disneyland, so we’re going to do our best to make it as easy as possible! When people come in for new tires, we ask them what budget
they have in mind because we don’t want them to spend any more money than they need to. We give them options because not everyone has the same set of needs. We listen and make sure they’ll be happy with their purchase.” McLea can see that this dedication they have to listening to customers will be a key to keeping the shop in business for the long term. “We want to make sure that our customers get exactly what they want and the best tires possible for the price that fits their budget.” McLea's Tire and Automotive has locations in Cotati, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and Windsor with every shop held to the same standards of constant learning and unsurpassed customer service. McLea’s prides themselves on being your number one choice for any auto repair, and they’re grateful to have the chance to earn your business.
