General contractor servicing Montgomery county and parts of Washington DC. We have had the same Project managers on staff for 9 -17 years. Our newest manager has been with us for 9 years. We believe in high level service over quantity of work. We limit our projects so we can pay more attention to each project. We only take on work that we can effectively handle. We specialize in Additions , bathrooms , kitchens and basements. Our teams are skilled in all aspects of residential construction. For our existing clients we service any project they would like done in their homes. We have developed systems to provide the best communication , quality, and timeliness. We provide free estimates. Hope to hear from you!
I used Home Advisor, which is owned by Angi, and they contacted me to set up a time for an estimate. They came out and were very pleasant and we had a good conversation explaining the scope of work, which was a roof and redo a whole front porch. A week went by and then I got a notice for an upcoming appointment with them. I emailed back that we already had our appointment the previous week, and Matthew, the owner apologized and said he was confused and would have my estimate done by the week’s end. I emailed Matthew later the following week to check the status of the estimate. Honestly, the way he had presented himself, we really wanted to work with them. I saw a review on here where this has happened before, and he claimed that he always gets back to people in a timely manner. This is a complete lie and what it boils down to is that my job, being between $15-$25k was too small of a job for them. He has never replied to my email. Mind you, this is the same email that he originally replied to, so I know it wasn’t spam. He simply could have had the courtesy to tell me he didn’t want the job and I would have been fine with it. But, to ghost me is unprofessional, and now he has earned the negative review. The silver lining is the company we are working with has much better reviews and is extremely timely when responding to any questions or concerns. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company.

Team did a good job. The quote was competitive, the work was initiated on time and there was a good project manager/technical project lead onsite the entire project. The team was flexible with small additional changes. We've had the company do a couple of projects, this included multiple bathroom remodels (including master bath which was a big project) and building out an additional bedroom.

Love it! We do our best to stay competitive and efficient and effective. Always a pleasure working with you! Your review is my favorite Christmas present so far! Merry Christmas!
We used Willis Builders when we first moved into this house 8 years ago and were extremely satisfied with their work, so we decided to hire them the update our two upstairs bathrooms (along with a couple other minor things around the house). The craftsmanship and efficiency of the project blew me away and I am super happy that I decided to use them again for this project. Naveed and Nelson were fantastic. I was amazed at the long days they spent and how efficient the work was. Naveed came to me with any questions and feedback....and the few small issues with materials were resolved quickly and easily. They are a great team and I would recommend them to anyone for a similar project.

[Member Name Removed], It was a pleasure working with you and Willis Builders appreciates the positive review and the opportunity to work with you on multiple occasions. We look forward to working with you in the future!
Could not have gone better. They made the necessary construction modifications required in an old, uneven house, they did the work in just over one month, and we very clear about the additional costs that arose from construction obstacles as well as additional items we selected for them to do.
Description of Work: Willis transformed our main floor by repositioning the front door, moving the powder room, and opening up a needed hallway between the entry and the main part of the house. It's like a new home!

It went amazing. Naveed was a great project manager and walked us through the process every step of the way. He explained multiple options and provided recommendations on how to better design our basement layout. The end product was better than we could imagine. I would definitely work with Willis Builders again.

The professionalism and level of detail with this company is unrivaled. Willis will be our first and only call for additional work on our home.

We asked Willis Builders to remodel our two bathrooms after they did a great job helping deal with water intrusion (upgrading to wider gutters, rearranging downspouts, installing a sump pump). Both jobs were overseen by Leo, who did great work and was extremely helpful when we discovered we'd forgotten something or didn't have enough of XYZ because the pandemic slowed shipping down. I would gladly hire them again!
Description of Work: Exterior drainage issues; remodeling two bathrooms
This was a top to bottom complete renovation of my house. All work to be done was described in well written project proposals. I have lived in my house since 8/1/1972. Over the years I have had workers here to do some renovations and repairs. Matthew Willis of Willis Builders, the Project Manager Marcelo Gomes, and all the workers that came to my house were very professional. I am very, very pleased with the outcome of this renovation. My house is better than brand new only because I was fortunate to have Willis Builders do this renovation.

The first thing that comes to my mind in response to your amazing review is something that I had said to Marcelo and my wife. Basically I explained to them that if all of my clients were as amazing as you I would have so much joy in my life! This was an amazing project for us and the double bonus is that we got to work for you. I really appreciate all of your gratitude and grace throughout the months that we worked for you. We overcame the county permitting tragedies and challenges together. I have never had such difficulties and ridiculous requirements and you were a trooper the entire project. I would say I look forward to our next job however I believe we may have done everything! I will say that if you ever need anything in terms of work or help with anything else I hope you will consider me a friend as well. The project was a blessing and a great experience for all of us at Willis Builders ! Thank you so much! Blessings!
Slight delay in starting work and then project was on schedule and remained on schedule. Mathew Willis was very helpful at all stages and provided good advice and recommendations. Because this was a basement bathroom we asked him for his recommendations and followed them on tile, appliances, windows, etc. We also had him do the purchase and installation of everything. As easy as such a renovation could be.

Hi, thank you so much for your review and feedback. It was truly a pleasure working with you! On most projects the homeowners choose and provide their finishes and fixtures so it was fun to be able to put together all of the finishes and fixtures for your approval. Also it’s very rare to be able to work for a few weeks while the homeowner is out of town. It felt like an accomplishment to be able to complete the project while you where away . We appreciate you trusting us and allowing us to work in your home to finish the project while you were out of town. It was always a pleasure in all of our conversations and exchanges and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you for allowing us to layout, design and install your entire new basement bathroom.

We hired Matthew and his team to completely gut and renovate our small master bathroom. Very generally, the experience was a positive one. The good: - Matthew and his subcontractor were extremely responsive to emails, texts, and calls - If we pointed out something that we thought wasn't quite perfect, they were happy to fix it - trash was removed fairly regularly and they would always tidy up the work/ storage area if asked (mostly when it was spilling into our walkway) - They always called to ask before adding extra work to the contract, even if it was clearly necessary (i.e. sistering some beams that had dry rot) - bills and itemized receipts were produced promptly and regularly - the estimate for labor was spot-on and we didn't feel like we were upsold - the additional costs came from things we had either anticipated or agreed were necessary (some beam sistering, replacing the ceiling, finding an alternate way to vent a new fan) The bad: - our project manager was only on-site a couple times a week and not for very long, which meant there was no direct supervision of the guys doing the work - it felt like every day or every other day we had to point out stuff that needed to be fixed - a crooked tile, missing waterproofing, regular tile used where there should have been bullnose - which was frustrating - they frequently ran out of things or discovered new supplies they needed that had to be ordered (shower valves, more tile, etc.), leading to delays - the work took about twice as long as they had first estimated Overall, I understand that some of these frustrations and difficulties are just part of dealing with a renovation. While I would have preferred not to have to nudge them about items so frequently, I certainly felt like they were treating us fairly in terms of cost and appreciated the responsiveness.

Thanks for your review with valuable information and great feedback! I always see the feedback good or bad as a real way to see how we are doing well and ways to do better. Sometimes expectations are met or exceeded and sometimes expectations are not realized. Expectations and important aspects for a homeowner will always vary based on each individual. I have adopted a habit to ask what is most important so we can make sure these important factors are met. This project had a good bit of surprises that added time to the project along with details that where changed or added. Our time estimate is based on other similar bathrooms but can easily change if anything is added or changed. We have learned to communicate as additional time becomes required and have found this is very helpful with the creating flexible expectations of our clients. Your review has sparked some insight and ideas and I greatly appreciate it! Blessings!

Thank you for your great review! Leo your project manager has been with me for 17 years and pays attention to detail and quality. He’s very knowledgeable in all aspects and tends to be very helpful by offering ideas and expertise. We look forward to our next project with you and Leo will be your project manager again. Blessings!
Great job. First, it was a pleasure to meet with Matthew Willis, the business owner. When we reviewed the project, he came up with options that I hadn't considered - that would have been change orders later. The price quoted was what I paid, so that is a huge positive element. The foreman on the job, Gio, was responsive and a good leader to the two workers. The bath addition was completed in 7 days over a two week period. Most importantly, the finished bathroom is beautiful and well made. It is a pleasure to see the room, and it gives me peace of mind to know that the work behind the walls is also excellent.

We appreciate you sharing your experience working with us! I shared this report with Gio and he said he enjoyed working with you! I remember thinking we will need the main drain line located in order to add the drains needed for the bathroom. I used my X ray vision ( AKA experience with house layouts and systems) to locate your drain stack based on how the walls where built and the location of the upstairs bath. This is how we can identify costs of work needed and or may be needed. I like to mention potential work that may be needed in my proposals. I have found that is very helpful end it makes me look like I know what I’m doing. We look forward to working with you again! FYI I always remember A reports when creating a proposal ! Blessings!

That’s funny, you did ask some questions but I wouldn’t say a lot compared to some clients . I always enjoy getting questions because it’s progress! Thank you so much for hiring us! It’s a pleasure working with you! Yes Aloisio gets this same feedback often because he’s totally a perfectionist! I stopped checking his work years ago! He literally will redo things that are not to his standard.
For our first-ever home remodeling, we decided to go with Matthew Willis' team to help us renovate our basement. We worked with them for a total of 2 months in turning around an empty basement to an inviting space with a wet bar, entertainment room, new bathroom, and playroom. It turned out to be a great decision to use Willis with their constant communication, knowledgeable team headed by project manager Luis, and their ability to turn our vision into reality. After a walk-through of our dream basement, Matt was timely and thorough with our project estimates which we really appreciated. He answered any questions we had without hesitation, which made him very approachable. Throughout the entire project, we knew we could communicate with him via email or text, and he was always very up-to-date with how our project was progressing. He also came by every few weeks, and he made sure everything was going as planned. Luis, our project manager, was also a great person to work with. He made sure that my husband and I were happy with his work, and whenever we came to a hiccup (and there always will be minor hiccups!), he would always consult us before continuing on. He was more than flexible with any of our adjustments/changes and stayed on task with his team. It's been a few months since completion and with the exception of one recessed light falling out, which has been fixed under warranty, we haven't had any issues. They're a great team to work with overall and would recommend.

Willis Builders was extremely easy to work with; they first persuaded us to let them provide a cheaper and more effective solution than the one we called them about (building a roof extension), and then they completed it in short order. We haven't had water issues since!

I always get a kick out of what is important for each person. Honoring it helps us to build our relationships! Thank you!
We had a really good relationship with the owner, Matt. He understood what we were looking for. He made recommendations. He always got back to us in a timely manner. When and if we came across anything that we had questions about, he always came right out to help show or explain. They really were great with everything and we have already recommended this company to others.

Thank you for your appreciation of everyone on the team and myself. Well we really appreciate you guys as well. When I think of working for you guys I had this thought and I realized that most people look for the perfect job. I have learned to look for the perfect client. Working for your family was a true pleasure and I am blessed to have had the opportunity. We worked for months at your home and you had to even move out for a time. It was amazing how there was no aggressive communication from being stressed or pressure to go faster. This is actually normal and acceptable to become stressed under the circumstances however you guys were not even showing it or at least I couldn’t tell. Like you said call me and I’ll be there with joy! I figure there’s not much left to do on your house so I’m a bit sad that I may not see you for a while. At your Service! Blessings!
