Response from Willis Builders Inc
"We never worked for this client. My partner Robert Morris spoke with this client for over 25 minutes over the phone. He determined it was not in our best interest to make a site visit. Mr Morris is very good at filtering opportunities. If this client wanted a consult Mr Morris would have happily met with this client to give him a written estimate. The email we sent also had a request for a time and date for a meeting. Mr. Morris is very skilled at not waisting time. If you are looking to do the work yourself please do not waste our time. Thank you for your report and payment, oh, wait you didn't pay us. Thank you for the C not an F. This client had previously renovated his other bath himself. Mr. Morris had joked with this client that we cannot compete with Weekend Warriors. Mr Morris also gave detailed information on what materials and products and how to install them. This client was offended because we had resistance in meeting him for free. I am blessed to have Mr Morris as my partner."

They did a great job right from the beginning. When I called the office someone answered the phone and made an appointment right away. Luis showed up on time and carefully went through the work with me. He clearly understood what needed to be done. They sent me an estimate within two days and the price was very fair. It was comparable to other pricing I received.
When I had a couple of questions, I called the office. Matthew Willis got back to be the same day and we got everything squared away. The work was scheduled at a time that worked for me. The workers showed up as promised and Luis was there making sure everything was done exactly as we had discussed. The quality of the work was excellent. They did a good job cleaning up when they were done. I couldn't have asked for more. I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to friends.

We had a miss communication about the time - so I thought they were late but it wasn't that big a deal.  He was careful, polite and took care of everything within the specified time.

Job was well done, and very courteous. Only slight disatisfaction was that in fixing the broken window pane, some paint chips were left in the dirt outside.

AFTER 2 EMAILS, FINALLY SOMEONE CALLED ME 2 WEEKS LATER.  MADE A DATE TO COME TO MY HOUSE TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON TILE WORK IN MY LOWER LEVEL BATH. THE MAN WHO CAME,VERNON, WAS TOTALLY IN THE DARK AS TO HOW TO CORRECT MY PROBLEM.  ALL HE WAS INTERESTED IN WAS TO CHANGE MY ENTIRE FLOOR.  I HAVE 4 CRACKED TILES AND I AM NOT LOOKING TO RE-DO AN ENTIRE FLOOR.  FIY- I DO NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL TILES AVAILABLE BUT I THOUGHT SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE COULD SUGGEST ANOTHER OPTION.  NO ANSWER HERE.  SO I SAID TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON THE WHOLE FLOOR.  THAT WAS THE 20TH OF AUGUST.  TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 10TH. AND STILL NO ESTIMATE. I WOULD NOT USE THEM IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE NOW.
Response from Willis Builders Inc
"Thank you so much for your feed back. After speaking with Vern, [member name removed] decided not to persue the job. We resisted doing a patch job on this tile floor and did not offer an estimate. From Vern's 25 years of experience he determined this project would never be to the satisfaction of the client. We are sorry this was not communicated better. Thank you again for your feedback."

Giovanny did the job for us.  He showed up on when he said, and was very careful about trying to make sure the paint he was using matched the existing colors.  In some cases I had left over paint in a few other he had to take a sample from the wall and go to Home Depot to find the match.  He was very professional and when he was unsure what direction to go he always came to me with options and his preference, but he always asked first.   He did have to go back rematch the paint on the living room ceiling and its still slightly off.   All in all very reliable and did a very good job.

Two handymen worked on the projects in my home but apparently only one of them knew what he was doing. The plumbing work went fine no problem. The electrical work went okay but the work was sloppy and he left some empty packaging and dirt behind. A new bathroom light was put in but he did not remove the protective plastic coating on the fixture, so I climbed the ladder and pulled it off. The same thing happened on the exterior light fixture on the front porch, the protective coating was not removed. Also a wooden brace from the previous much larger light fixture was not removed, even though it was no longer need to support the smaller new light fixture. He didn't remove it or asked me about it.
The handymen were polite but I would not hire them again.

Willis Builders could not have been more professional and efficient.  Everyone that worked on the project was excellent!  They met with us and consulted with us frequently to ensure that the project was on track.  They helped us determine what repairs and renovations were needed to the house following a medical event that left our family member with some lingering disabilities.  They helped us identify what modifications would be most beneficial to help lessen the impact of the disabilities and they were compassionate and caring.  Every member of the crew followed through with every detail.  At the same time, they understood and respected our budget constraints and made valuable suggestions to help us contain costs.  They did an excellent job in every area, going the extra mile to ensure that the house is beautiful and the work immaculate in every way.  Their work helped us increase the appraised value of the house by a substantial amount!  My family has used them before in our various homes to do projects large and small and will use them again and again.  They are our contractors for life!  I wish I could give them an A++!

They crew was punctual, actually early. The agreement was to wash the roof as well as the siding. There was a miss communication between the owner and crew on how much work was to be done. They accommodated us and completed all work agreed upon at agreed price. I was very pleased with the work done. Our house looked so good that our neighbor hired them to work on their house.

Rodrigo worked on our new house for almost 2 weeks.  I used an Angie's list deal to get us started, but ended up having about 80hrs of work.  During our initial meeting we did a walk through and I identified everything on my wish list.  I didn't expect to get it all done, but once they were going, the quality of the work and their quick pace lead me to decide to do it all.   They worked around the flooring being installed in the house, and finished completely on schedule.  Every day at 8 I could count on someone showing up to work, and for them to be there most of the day.
Rodrigo was excellent to work with.  He helped me make several decisions, both function (e.g. what type of outlets I needed) and style (how to end the molding at the windows) and his input made the house better.  He seemed to keep my budget and priorities in mind as he went.
They removed part of a wall and the finish work makes it look like it was always like that.   They installed the outlets necessary for us to have a TV above the fireplace, including HDMI cables.
They (Augustus, who does outstanding work) took down existing poorly installed chair rail and crown molding and reinstalled it.  It looks like it was always there, and is beautiful.
They painting many rooms (Luis's crew) and did a nice job despite the humidity. 
When I did have a few minor issues with the painting, they came back out and fixed it, at no additional charge.  Matt Willis and his admin staff are prompt in their response and helpful during and after the process.  
I am very happy with the final result.  I will be calling them this winter to do some more work around the house.

It turned out great and they were really good. They installed our windows and we were so happy about that, we had them do our entire home renovation. They just finished the renovations; it took them 6 months. I would use them again.

We had 2 different contractor specialists. My husband and I purchased beautiful glass tile backsplash and had it installed. The contractor was professional. He arrived on time and did a wonderful job! The only thing we were mindful of was some confusion as to what materials needed to be purchased...we made 3 trips to home depot and wasted time is money...so I just recommend that you get a clear understanding of what materials need to be purchased in advance or have the contractors pick up the needed materials for you prior to the job. Also, be aware that a backsplash project can be kind of messy, so don't be surprised like I was...something about the grout...just leaves a film...we had an issue with some gaps in the grout and our specialist came back the next day and fixed it, no problems! The backsplash is in and gorgeous! We are very happy!
The second specialist came to do some floor trim. The prior owner put in kitchen tile and it didn't meet the hardwoord floors properly and there was a terrible gap...it was a trip hazard and cosmetically unappealing. We brought in a few different people to ask for recommendations and get cost estimates to see how we could deal with the problem and most people just didn't even know where to start or wanted a lot of money....we were even given suggestions like tear out the tile or replace the hardwood, which we didn't want to do...and then Willis Builders came and in and with confidence he said they would find us a good solution and they did just that...they hand cut a trim that not only solved the problem, but it looked like it belonged there all along! And they stained the wood to match the existing hardwood floors perfectly! AWESOME! My husband and I could not be happier!!

My wife and I had used Willis Builders many times to do general household repairs and maintenance.  When we needed to remodel our master bathroom in our house in Gaithersburg, MD because of water damage, I contacted Matt Willis and he gave me a fair price for the labor to rip out the old tub, toilet, vanity and countertop, and  floor and wall tile, and to repair the damaged flooring and drywall, and to install all new materials (we agreed that my wife and I would supply the main materials, such as new tub, toilet, vanity, countertop, and tile because my wife and I wanted to choose everything). 
Aloisio was assigned by Matt as our remodeler.  Aloisio did a fantastic job.  He covered as much as possible to minimize the spread of construction dust.  He talked to us and explained if he discovered any issues and made recommendations to resolve them.  He installed a new electrical line to supply power to our new Jacuzzi bathtub.  Aloisio did wonderful carpentry and tile work and was a perfectionist in all that he did.  Our new master bathroom looks great!
We are so pleased that we have hired Willis Builders to also remodel another bathroom in our home.  Aloisio is in demand and already had his next project scheduled, so we have to wait a few weeks for him to start remodeling our second bathroom.  We are looking forward to having him upgrade another bathroom in our home.

We met with Willis sometime in early January.  We met with several different builders for this job and found Matt to be the most personable and willing to talk through different ideas.  Our build was somewhat unique in that we already had the design in our heads, and we wanted some unique features.  Matt was extremely accommodating and interested in working with us to figure out the right way to do things.  You could tell that he was evaluating us as customers just as surely as we were evaluating him and his team, and we liked that.
We had Leo as our Project Manager for the whole project.  Leo was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and skillful.  His abilities and work ethic set us at ease immediately.  We had a team of 3 at our house most days, all very personable and great, with that number jumping up to 4 or 5 on busy days as necessary.
Our arrangement was for a set labor fee for the main piece of the work and hourly labor fees for any additional special features we outlined.  This setup worked well for us as we knew we would want some special "upgrades" and we'd be able to deal with that cost and hour estimates up front, or choose to forego it if we decided it was too expensive.
All of the standard work was done extremely well.  Demolition was done quickly and cleanly.  We have a 1 year old and they were very particular to cover all vents and doorways to keep the mess in the basement.  Willis did all the electrical and plumbing in house.  In fact, the only parts of the job that were outsources were some minor brickwork (to a professional mason), the stairs, and the carpet.  Everything else was done by Willis themselves.  This was great as the same guys were at the house most days, which made us feel very comfortable.
My wife and I made some drawings of what we wanted for our special features, and the guys used these extensively as a guide to make things the way we wanted.  The special features were:
A secret door hidden behind a large bookshelf - all custom built on a wood door core, with hidden hinges and magnetic close.  Opens easily and holds tons of books
A large wood bar - Willis hooked us up with Exotic Lumber in Gaithersburg and we got a massive slab of bubinga for the bar top
A reading nook under the stairs for our kids
A built in entertainment unit and shelves built into already existing brick.
The secret door especially is a thing of beauty.
All work was done extremely well.  They were very timely and very communicative at all steps of the project.  I think the biggest hurdle for large projects like this is communication.  Leo and Matt both were great about this, and it's important to remember that it's also the responsibility of the owners to make sure things get done properly.
We had a couple of _very_ minor hurdles with communication in dealing with the subcontractors.  Specifically, the wrap around steps weren't done the way we wanted at first and the mason came about a week later than expected.  But in a large project like this, minor hiccups will happen and it was still handled very well.
Willis made little recommendations along the way that will be helpful in the future.  Since we want to redo our kitchen in a few years, we ran additional wires over to the kitchen in preparation so we won't have to knock out the ceiling later.  We didn't want a louvered door to our furnace room, so they added a louvered vent for ventilation.  We added some outdoor outlets onto the project, which was no problem.
I plan to use Willis again in the future for at least our kitchen and possibly a couple of other projects.  I would recommend them to anyone, especially if you have the opportunity to work with Leo.
