My work began the day the horrible flooding occurred in Shreveport / Bossier. While I was fortunate, the owner's house was flooding. I told him to go home and take care of things, and he said he'd already done what he could, and he couldn't stop the flooding. He kept on working on my project, even though he said when he was finished for the day here, he and his wife and kids worked late at night cleaning up their house all through my project. So they were under extreme personal stress due to their flooding and being displaced, but remained pleasant and professional with us. Very hard working group.
Adam strives for perfection and it's obvious his reputation is important to him. Really decent, nice people.
"Thank you Mrs. [Member Name Removed]."
"Thank you for allowing us into your home. We had a great time with your project."
"Thank you (removed member name). It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and your husband. We appreciate your kind words and your trust in us."
"[member name removed] It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with you and your vision. Lisa and I loved our time with you while designing your project and all the way to the last stone was set. Thank you for the kind review. We must catch up soon :)"
Demolition and rebuild were accomplished concurrently to the extent it was possible. Not only was the apparent termite problem addressed, but original construction deficiencies that were contributing factors were corrected by redesigning some aspects of the structure.
Throughout the process, Adam and Lisa Willard visited the work site on a daily basis and kept me informed of the progress, including target dates for completion of each step. As they did during the remodeling project, they made every effort to minimize the effect on the other parts of the house, and my own inconvenience.
Performance of each and every subcontractor was outstanding, and this major project was completed on schedule and at the agreed upon cost. The final product was superior to the original construction by a significant margin.
Under the circumstances, I cannot imagine better people to work with than this remarkable couple and their company. I highly, enthusiastically recommend Ashley's for any construction job.
"Thank you again for your kind words Mr. (member name removed). Although it pained us to discover the damage, we are glad that we were able to repair your home better than before. Thank you for your trust, opening your home to us, your wisdom, and most of all, your friendship."
Even prior to entering into a contract, Adam and Lisa spent countless hours listening to us, asking clarifying questions and offering the unsolicited good ideas to help us understand the vision we were formulating for this once in a lifetime remodel for our prime living space, the kitchen and living room. We were never rushed or pressed. They quickly demonstrated that they wanted to be part of our team and establish a long term relationship with shared value. In short, they wanted what we wanted. The contract was unambiguous and detailed every cost and a timeline for completion. It was clear that the they had developed long, trusting working relationships with their tradesmen. Electricians, plumbers, woodcrafters were all of top quality. The work schedule was well coordinated with very little down time on the kitchen and it was finished well ahead of schedule. The scheduling for the LR was a little looser but still acceptable. Other than our anxiousness to be in our new space, it never created a significant hardship. Importantly, they shared and understood our concerns and were advocates throughout the process. Their level of constant and caring communication was off the charts. My wife, Ellen, and I are working professionals and we had little time to oversee the project (nor would we know what we were overseeing) so we needed Adam and Lisa to represent our interested as if it were their own. They did. The quality and quantity of communication (text, email, phone calls, on site visits) were the best. Any potential stress point (the color of this, the design of that, etc.) was addressed and communicated quickly and with a high level of expertise. We needed expert advice as well as flawless execution and we got it from Ashley's. In summary, these guys know what they're doing and pack the gear to get it. The price was fair and represented fair value. Our short list for future projects is down to one -- Ashley's.
"Thank you very much for your kind words. We had a lot of fun remodeling your spaces and loved that you both had such great vision and ideas that helped us deliver such a beautiful and drastic transformation. You both deserve it. Enjoy!"
Adam's assessment of my separate proposed projects was that they could only be accomplished as a complete package, and he explained how each affected other aspects of the overall room. I was convinced this was the best way for me to arrive at the desired result.
- After adjusting Ashley's original proposal to arrive at a workable compromise between the cost of the project and my budget, the selection of colors and materials proceeded with Lisa Willard, who instantly understood my limitations as a widower in that arena. Lisa provided photographs and samples with a wide enough selection to give me flexibility without an overwhelming list of choices. When I felt a sample was close, but not quite what I was looking for, Lisa promptly went out and found the missing link. With her considerable help, the appearance and functionality of the final product were completely satisfactory.
- Once the materials were acquired or fabricated, the production went smoothly. The fact that Willard's spent time nearly every day at the work site, ensuring the smooth flow and quality of work. The sub-contractors all appeared to be committed to Adam's extremely high professional standards.
- Throughout the process, work was scheduled and configured in such a way that my inconvenience was minimized. I consider this important because any construction project can be stressful.
- The project was completed on schedule and at the original agreed upon cost, except for changes initiated by me.
- I found Adam and Lisa Willard outstanding young with whom to work. They operate a quality, family oriented business with consistently high levels of honesty and integrity. Actually, I came to regard them as friends.
- I would highly recommend Ashley's for any building/ construction job at any level with complete confidence of successful and satisfactory completion.
"WOW! We are beyond humbled by your review. The best was the friends part as we feel exactly the same way about you! You are such a wonderful, positive light in our lives and we are so pleased we could give you the results you deserve. Thank you for everything!"
"Thank you for your kind words. We enjoyed working with you and Scout very much. This by far is our favorite bathroom design yet!!"
"We appreciate you.. thank you! It was a pleasure working with you and we are so please you love the bathroom. Enjoy!"
There were some uh oh's during the course of the project related to construction issues discovered during the demo phase (electrical and plumbing that was not up to code, etc.) those problems did increase the costs, but were a necessary part of the project. We also went significantly over the original quote due to plan changes mid-project. The changes were at our request and we were well aware of what the changes would do to the budget. We are very happy with the results and have the warm and cozy log cabin we wanted.
We did run into a few scheduling challenges during the project due to some severe weather in the area that tied up some of the subcontractors and delayed their being able to work on our project. Once the contractors became available things progressed as expected.
"This was such a fun project! Thank you for trusting us with your entire home remodel. We are so happy that you are happy!"
"Thank you for your kind words. We sincerely appreciate you and your business. Glad you are enjoying your bathroom and that AMAZING shower!!!"
The Ashley's crew were on time and very professional!
"Thank you [member name removed]. It was a pleasure working with you both and are so pleased that you are happy! Thank you for trusting us in your home."
"We hate that your home suffered damage from the storm but gad we could help your family. Thank you for the kind comments."
"THANK YOU! Your kind words are very much appreciated!"
If you want something done right, don't do it yourself . . . call Ashley's Building!
"Thank you [member name removed]. It was a pleasure working with you and your family. It was a blast to watch you all on DEMO DAY!!"
Remodeling a kitchen is a common occurence, so what makes Ashley's stand taller than others? With a house over 110 years old we have come to expect the unexpected and HAD to have someone we trusted to do the job right. From floors that were 3 1/2 inches lower at the walls than the middle ofthe room, to not being able to match trim on existing cabinets, to a hidden wall complication, to floor joists and footings that would not support adequate weight, Adam's industry knowledge and construction solution experience proved a stoke of genius. Adam handles it well with patience and confidence, communicated exceptionally well, and handled everything with patience and confidence. FOR EVERY CHALLENGE HE FOUND A SOLUTION. Every person and sub he sent to the job were the epitome of professional competency and customer communication. The vendors he recommended for appliances were attentive and helpful. He picks great suppliers and subs and expects them to provide excellent, warm, responsive service and work. We got a fantastic job that looks great and was DONE RIGHT on a complicated project where the trustworthiness and competency of the builder was critical. Adam takes responsibility for the entire project and insists that all subs work to his standards. Our job will last because it was done correctly.
So, we got a fantastic job that exceeded expectations, done by a totally trustworthy contractor who sets high standards and leads by example with his competency, creativity, problem solving ability and project management skills. A smile comes to our face everytime we enter our wonderful kitchen!!
ASHLEY'S BUILDING WILL BE DOING ALL OF OUR WORK IN THE FUTURE!!!

"Thank you [member name removed] for your kind words and the opportunity to work with you. Nothing makes us happier to know that our customers are satisfied and pleased with our work. It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you for trusting us with your home."
"Thank you Member for your kind comments and trusting our company with your ideas. It has been a pleasure working for you, especially designing the sun room. It has been great that our families have gotten to know eachother throughout the construction."
After three years of marriage, my wife and I were at the point in our lives where we were ready to build a house and expand our family. We had several friends build houses and some of them told us horror stories about the contractor they used and the building process in general. They told us "it just about cost them their marriage" or "they just about went broke because of cost overruns." At this point, our main goal was to find a contractor that we could trust and hope we could avoid some of the bad experiences our friends had told us about. After meeting with several contractors and reviewing the quality of some of their work we decided upon Adam Willard with Ashley's Building. Adam was our general contractor for the entire build and we could not have been any happier. Through the entire process we always felt that Adam was being honest and up front with us about what was happening as far as the time schedule, cost, and any problems that arose during the build. Adam treated our project as if he was building the house for himself. My wife and I can not say enough about Adam's honesty and integrity. In todays world those qualities are hard to find in the building industry. My wife and I would highly recommend Adam and Ashley's Building to anyone in need of a remodel or complete house build.
"Thank you Member for this great comment. I consider it an honor that you chose myself and my company to build your first home to begin and raise your family in. Wishing you, Misty and Ethan many, many years of health and happiness."
