Response from Willis Builders Inc
Thanks very much for taking the time to post your review. We enjoyed working with you to completely remodel your bathroom. We appreciate you choosing us to make it happen. We look forward to our next project together. Blessings!
This was a very small kitchen project and when I met them to walk through they complained about a few items that they believed where not installed correctly however they liked the final project. The homeowner was an engineer and challenged us on nearly everything we installed. The floor we installed about a 1/4” from the wall and he complained. I explained this is normal because the baseboard was on top of it and the gap is not seen. He insisted it be cut tight to the drywall . It’s a floating floor and it should have a gap for expansion. He made us remove it and make it right to the wall.😌. He also disagreed with the connection method we have use a hundred times before for the cabinets. He complained but didn’t provide an alternative. I explained this is the way we always do it but he was not happy. Every cut had to be tight including drywall . Drywall does not have to be cut tight because it gets trim or mud at the joints. This is a rare case we work for an extreme perfectionist who will stand over the guys everyday asking questions and demanding unnecessary details. You will see we have almost everyone happy with our work and they don’t hover and demand ridiculous things. Everyone once in a while we have this situation but we do our best to accommodate.

We estimated a time to have her estimate to her at the meeting. When she became aggressive seeking her estimate it confirmed our suspicions. During the original meeting many red flags had gone off. Now with an "F" report for not getting an estimate done absolutely verifies our concerns working with this client. I am very satisfied we did not end up working for this client. My associate Steven brought the potential for a difficult client to my attention and I agree with his judgment.

[Member Name Removed] we sent you emails explaining we don't work in oxen hill . We did not call you because we sent emails. We only work in montgomery county . We have found this area to have better clientele . I'm not sure why anyone would give an F ranking for not calling back. Sorry you didn't get a call. We figured since you emailed us you do email . Anyway I'm sorry it stressed you enough to F us. Not sure how you got a $100 price . The price you got was a D ???.

Thanks ! Next time lets get you an A level service . If it's not an A level service know you can always let us know what we need to do .
Description of Work: They renovated my basement after a raw sewage backup, new drywall, baseboards, insulation, painting etc. I was happy with the end product and they were receptive to a few problems I had along the way, intact gave me some extras for free to make up for it. Took longer than anticipated, but it was before the holidays so they had several tight deadlines to juggle.

Leo Gico of Willis Builders was excellent. He was very courteous and followed our instructions on where the Christmas bulbs were to be placed, His workmanship on repairing our iron gate was great. He was very detailed on his suggestions for placing additional wiring, and his desire to do everything we asked was at the highest standard.
Description of Work: Willis Builders installed our Christmas Bulbs in the existing sockets on the roof, and lower portion of the house, rewired a couple of sockets, and repaired our front Iron Gate.

I have used this company twice. They have done a great job. They provide good communication. They were very quick to respond to my quote. Their workers were here every day working. It did take a little longer than what I was told, but I’m okay with that. They were very flexible and they are honest people. Their quote/pricing was pretty average. It did cost a little bit more than I was quoted, but that was due to the changes we made and the materials we used. They are also very quick to fix anything I was not happy with. I would recommend them. They are a good company and the owner is a wonderful guy who is willing to work with whatever you want.
Description of Work: They renovated my house 3 years ago and recently they built a deck for me.

They were outstanding. We had them do a lot of work for us. We couldn't be happier with their work. They came recommended by some very close friends and the recommendation was spot on. These guys are good, they keep cost down and they do good quality work. It’s a great group of guys and I can’t say enough good about them. Matthew, the owner, sets the tone for the employees, his idea of quality at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: They did all kinds of work for me; siding, windows, bathrooms, doors, draining, building, etc.

We are always thankful when we get great clients to work for who bless us with alot of work. We enjoyed updating and upgrading the home for the Members. We look forward to serving this great couple for years. When we get clients like the Members ,we do our best to give the most value for the variety of work we are doing. It's great to be able to work for such kind hearted folks.
Every aspect of our dealings with Willis Builders was pleasant and rewarding. Matthew Willis is a charming and very professional contractor who has been a pleasure to deal with. Older in fact than he appears, it does not take long to realize that Matthew knows what he is doing ... and is a very nice and sincere fellow to boot. His explanations of what needs to be done and how it will be done are quite patient and reassuring. We have experienced other contractors who say they'll do somerhing, but will not take the time to let us know how..and when. We found the work this firm did to be quite disciplined. The work areas were kept surprisingly neat and daily clean-up of incomplete work is a given. The crews are personable and, we discovered, smoke-free (that did not matter to us, but apparently it does to some). We almost never saw Willis himself as the projects progressed, but he was quite aware of each ones status at seemingly all times. As work progressed, occasional suggestions -- invariably helpful -- as to possible changes in original plans/materials were offered by Willis' staff, which clearly prides itself on their leeway to interact with clients. Their pricing was quite reasonable ... we have experienced contractors who seemed to want to take advantage of us when we were in jam after a storm ... we are confident that Willis' prices were not opportunistic. There were a few aspects of work that Willis subcontracted -- roofing and fallen tree removal come to mind -- and Willis made sure that the sub-contractors stood behind their work -- many months later in one case. In short, we have come to trust this firm and would certainly use them again.
Description of Work: We have dealt with this firm on three separate projects. The first time was when they rescued us from the effects of a storm that ripped off part of our roof, tore up our deck and left us with substantial interior water damage. The second was for yardwork and handyman services of a general nature. The third was to rebuild a bathroom that had suffered extensive water damage --- effectively a total remodel.

We love the members: we always enjoy working for this fun and kind couple. Thanks for the report , anyone who takes the time to write all this details and takes care of my guys they have done is amazing in my book. I always enjoy the members and look forward to serving you guys with all your future projects. Enjoy the new bathroom and we won't have any more water dripping into the kitchen any more. Blessings Matthew
The job went very well. The workmen are polite, skilled, steady workers. The foreman knows his business and consults as need be with Willis. Both Willis and the foreman discuss things with us, explain what they're doing and why. And the team does its best to minimize disturbance to our own work schedules.
Description of Work: Resurfacing nearly flat roof. Replacing skylights and doing custom-made waterproofing for them. (interior drywalling yet to be done.) Shoring up a part of the house that was sinking too much. Cleaning up up crawl space. Putting in two window wells. Tearing out water-damaged shower (replacement of damaged parts awaits delivery of tiles). Replacing damaged wood on shed. Putting leaf guards over gutters. Caulking around windows on one side of the house.

They were great and they were easy to work with. They were very attentive and cooperative, and they were very nice people. Matthew Willis, the owner, has his own people rather than subcontractors so you get a good feeling about the work. They straightened out everything that needed to be; they were fine with taking down what they had and putting it up how I wanted it because I was keeping track of their work while they were doing it instead of having them change things in the end. They came up with some little improvements like timers on the bathroom fans.
Description of Work: Willis Builders replaced all of the plumbing with a more modern material.

The work was done promptly and professionally. The builder also did extensive renovations of our entire house prior to us buying it. The quality of the renovations was one of the major reasons we bought the house; even our home inspector was impressed with the quality.
