Handcrafted By Bill

All the work done was of the highest quality. Bill and his helper arrived promptly in the morning and were very careful to clean up any mess by the end of the day. Progress was constant until the job was completed. Bill was very up front about his cost with a very specific contract. He required progress payments along the way but probably a third was left as the final payment after everything was completed to my satisfaction.
I can't say enough about the integrity of Bill Bailey. I have gone on to have him do additional work in my home and every time my wife and I have been very pleased. I would recommend him and his work without stipulation.
As a former Chief Warrant Officer (W4) in the US Navy, Bill definitely has a "can do" attitude and very good relationship with his subcontractors. They seem to like and respect him and all have worked for him for years.
For example, like all projects sometimes accidents happen. During the plaster work in the attic a 5 gallon bucket of water got spilled. It was cleaned up hastily but resulted in some plaster damage in the room below. My wife and I noticed this in the evening and called Bill. I immediately got a call from the plasterer, apologizing profusely and promising to be there first thing the next day and that whatever the problem he would make it right. And of course he did. The plaster in the room was repaired and repainted within two days. What could have been a sore point was dealt with in a very professional manner.
As we speak Bill is here working on another project, porch railing repair/replacement.
I was cabinetmaker earlier in life, and have done a number of projects on this old house, downstairs bath, and kitchen. Now at 63 I pick and choose the projects I want to attempt and am glad to have Bill to create the dreams I have for the restoration of this lifelong project/house.
One thing I should note. He prices are not cheap, of course neither is his work. His work is "hand crafted" and he charges a fair price for the quality he delivers. That being said you may not think you can afford to pay for such quality. There are certainly less expensive contractors and they may serve you well. All I can say is I have never regretted paying him for what I have received. The old expression "What's cheap is often dear" in other words you (often) get what you pay for.
Call me if you would like more details or to come see his work. Norman 757-289-6476

It started in April and will probably finish here in another couple of weeks. He gave me an outstanding estimate about what it would cost and so far we are three quarters way done and he has been right on what he said. He is excellent. The quality of work is superior. I would use them again if needed to.
