Wilcox Construction

Great. Rainy weather & an extra busy schedule caused some minor delays in the start of the job, but it was completed on a very timely basis once work began.

The bottom line is that he does quality work at very reasonable prices and will work with you to get what you want. This was a protracted process for several reasons. I was going through a divorce at the time, which complicated things from my end and I did not push for immediate resolution. Another factor was that the hailstorm damaged every house in the neighborhood and most contractors were very busy. I got bids from two builders. I selected Wilcox primarily because two of my neighbors had good experiences with him. We arranged a time to meet and he did a thorough inspection. He also reviewed the other bid I received and looked at the insurance report I had. The insurance had approved replacing part of the siding and painting the whole house. He suggested that for about the same money, I could reside the whole house (no painting). This seemed particularly appropriate to him because he said that there would be difficulty matching the existing siding. He offered to throw in a few extras as well. He submitted a written bid. This was not as comprehensive as the one I received from the other company. I agreed to work with him. I was flexible as to when the work was to be done. He was going to contact me when his work slowed down since I was not in a hurry. Up to this point, he had been quite responsive. He did not get back to me (I had not paid him any money, by the way). When I called, we had some trouble connecting because he was always busy. Eventually, we did set a time and he showed up when expected and the job was quickly finished. So my experience with his punctuality and responsiveness was mixed. When I had his attention, things went very well. The other issue was the insurance settlement. I relied on his advice regarding and documentation in dealing with State Farm. He was a little sloppy about this. As a result, the settlement was slightly less than it might have been. He basically absorbed most of the difference, which I appreciated and thought was very ethical of him. That said, I wish that I had been more on top of the paperwork and that would have worked better for both of us.
