F&C Improvements LLC

I have hired F and C Improvements five times in the past eight years, and every experience including this one was positive.  Francisco Correira, the owner, is excellent to work with for estimates and scope of work.  The kitchen renovation included electric, minor plumbing, HVAC, a lot of drywall,  carpentry and flooring.  His price was fair with no cost overruns, and his employees are all very nice and left the condo reasonably clean every day of the two week job, considering it was a construction zone.  Now several months later everything still looks great and works well - another quality job.

Francisco, the owner of Fand C Improvement, was recommended to me by a friend and had high marks on Angie's List. I cannot say enough great things about Francisco. He always was on time and his work was excellent. Unlike many other kitchen renovators, Francisco had no problem with me finding my own cabinets and countertop (even though he has suppliers), and did not charge me a premium for doing that part myself. In the course of renovating my kitchen, an issue arose with Lowes, from which I had purchased my cabinets. Francisco could not have been more patient and flexible with what turned out to be a two-week delay because of Lowes' errors. In addition to his excellent work, Francisco is an incredibly pleasant and nice person to work with. He made what was, at times, a difficult process that much easier. I'm very, very happy with his renovation and plan to use him in the future for all my home projects.

We can't recommend Francisco highly enough. He and his team completed our project on time and on budget, working on weekends when necessary. Equally if not more importantly, they were friendly, courteous, responsive, proactive, trustworthy, and professional -- from our first meeting with Francisco through the completion of the project. When one or two unexpected issues arose during the course of the project -- as we expected would be the case with any renovation, particularly one in our idiosyncratic home -- Francisco handled them with professionalism and great problem-solving skills, giving us complete confidence that he'd fix the problems in short order, which he did. Not only are we happy with the finished product -- we're thrilled with the overall experience leading up to it, which we know isn't always the case based on past experience with different contractors.

What do you really want from a contractor? Honesty, ethics, and a sense of responsibility. That defines Francisco with Fand C Improvements. He and his team did an excellent job transforming our small space. He was sensitive to our budget, worked quickly (on weekends when necessary), and abided by all our condo rules regarding construction. He returned calls and email promptly and was a pleasure to work with. He just knows how to relate to people in a refreshingly friendly, and quot;can-doand quot; way.
Were there a few construction challenges along the way? Of course, but that's going to happen in a project of that size. But what separates good contractors from the bad ones is how they respond. And Francisco always -- always -- faced those complications with honesty and professionalism.
We would definitely hire Fand C again.
