Francis Alwill General Contractor

Mr. Alwill is very rude; after leaving him a voice-mail one morning, and not hearing back from him before the end of the second day, a follow up phone call was made. When he answered, I tried to introduce myself and he cut me off, saying he wasn't interested, and literally hung up the phone. First impressions are always lasting impressions; be careful with this guy.

He was great. He really accommodated us in terms of taking care of our cottage. We would recommend him. When he said he was gonna be there, he was. We were going on vacation at that time to Hawaii and Francis altered his schedule to make sure the job was finished before we left to Hawaii so we would have no angst whatsoever on the project. He worked really hard. His work was professional. We liked his responsiveness. He finished everything. The price was what he said it was gonna be. He got everything done before our vacation in Hawaii so we were really able to relax and he solved a lot of problems for us.

Francis Alwill General Contractor had a bit of an attitude. He seemed to deem us a waste of his time. My client was a little taken aback by the guy and wrote him an email. They had some kind of email exchange of some kind going on. He never gave us a quote. He said it was too much work for him to give us a quote. He wouldn't even give us an estimate. He said to get the project approved and then he might be able to do the work if he had time.

He was very friendly and seemed very reputable. I followed up on his references and everyone had great things to say. After he gave us the preliminary estimate, we said we wanted to proceed forward with getting the contract drawn up and then start the work! But then he never got back to us. He finally ended up telling us he had a lot going on. I'm not sure if he's just crazy busy with other jobs, or if something in his personal life came up, but we were pretty disappointed that he was able to commit to doing our project after we decided to go with him. From what I've seen, he does great work. He didn't ask for any money or anything, so he's not shady. Just too busy to do our remodel I guess.

I contacted Francis on the recommendation of a friend. His presentation is a little unorthodox (for instance, his dogs go with him everywhere), but his punctuality and professionalism are top notch. He gives clear explanations in layman's terms and isn't afraid to shoot straight. I was unfortunately not able to go through with having the work done due to budget issues, but next time I am looking for someone to complete a job Francis will be my first call. He is punctual and always responds in a timely manner to phone, e-mail, or even text.

Francis is a General Licensed Contractor # 786567. I've know Francis for about 5 years. He cares about the quality of his work. He has done, or arraigned to be done, several small jobs for me and bigger jobs for a friend. My friend reported that he did a good job on several projects over a 2 week period.
