J Francis and our Designer Jessie were outstanding to work with. They are VERY responsive, professional and catered to our needs with managing the multiple projects around our lives/kids and in the middle of the pandemic. > > We really enjoyed working with them and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a design to build professional. Jessie's creativity added value to our home and the projects were finished on time. Their quality of work is top notch with an eye to detail. ### All 71 reviews **★★★★★ — Martha Davis, Feb. 2026** > I own a Sears Kit Home, built by my grandfather in the 1920’s. It needed repairs, updates and a general spiffing up. I wanted to keep the home true to its original form as much as possible. Also, I wanted someone who appreciates and respects older construction and materials to do the work. > After interviewing several remodeling/renovation companies, some who insisted on tearing out walls, John McCloskey walked in and smiled at the craftsmanship and understood my house. He saw the foibles found in old homes, like the sloped flooring. And came up with a quick and easy fix. Jessica did a fantastic job walking me through the process, selecting fixtures, coordinating contractors, and keeping me updated on the project. I live elsewhere and she accommodated my schedule when I came into town to see the progress. The crew were respectful of my home and property and were polite and patient with all my questions. > I can honestly say, I was very pleased with the JFrancis team from start to finish. I think my six-year-old granddaughter summed it up perfectly, “This house feels the best of all the houses I know. I am going to live here someday.” **★★★★★ — HU-684023476, Oct. 2025** > What a professional group to work with! Every person on the team an absolute pleasure to work with.Absolutely phenomenal! **★★★★★ — jannabell, Jan. 2025** > I have been working with J Francis Company and am in the final planning phase of a complete renovation of my kitchen, laundry, and primary bath and closet. What has impressed me most about the J Francis professionals is the high level of detailed communication. We have had weekly in-person or virtual meetings, which are always followed up with written meeting notes to confirm our decisions and correct anything if needed. This keeps the project moving forward. They are resourceful in providing great options for finishes for me to choose from and have quickly learned my style and vision for my home. I truly appreciate that they are generously open to incorporating my preferences and my own finds, or suggesting something even better. They understand and respect the architectural style of the house, and my desire to balance modern functional updates while maintaining the timeless look of the house. In the midst of this planning phase there was a design staff change and the transition was nearly seamless. I have experienced renovations in 3 other homes, and so far, this has been the best experience, starting with the day the company owner came for the first visit to discuss the project, to today when I am ready to sign on the dotted and go into production. I have every reason to believe that their professionalism will continue through construction to the finished renovation. (Completion date is for the full planning phase in advance of construction) **★★★★★ — Robert Ramirez, July 2024** > We thoroughly enjoyed working with J. Francis on our exterior renovation. They were very professional every step of the way. From the initial visit with the owner to all the workers that came to our home, everyone took pride in their work and it shows in the final result. **★★★★★ — Ena Lebel, June 2024** > J. Francis was just the design/build firm we needed for our basement remodel! With the dynamic duo of Jessie and Jesse, we were always in good hands. From Jessie's thoughtful and creative vision for how we could best utilize our space during design, to Jesse's leadership and responsiveness during production, we always felt like project was under control and well-managed. Can't wait to engage J. Francis again for our next project! **★★★★★ — HU-435516206, Jan. 2024** > We knew we were in good hands with J Francis for our structural fix and renovation project from the time of our initial consultation with John until the end of the project. Our wonderful project manager Jessie kept us informed throughout the project offering sound advice and great design ideas and products. We appreciated the professionalism of the J Francis team, their respect for our home and their quality craftsmanship, all exceptional. Of course as you embark on a home renovation you come up with new wants and additional needs as the work progresses. At every stage that occurred the J Francis team was responsive with solutions that saved us time and in some cases money. We could not be happier with the results of our project. We look forward to working with J Francis again for phase 2 and could not recommend them more highly to prospective clients. In fact as I am posting this review I am already missing them. **★★★★★ — Lakshmi Reddy, June 2023** > J. Francis Review:Professional, Respectful, Efficient > > It has been 3 months since my project wrapped up and I will be hiring them again for another project in the future. > The team was respectful of my family’s needs, budget and time. J Francis is efficient, timely, and has a clear vision for how they work with a client. They are professional and did not leave a single detail unaddressed. They take pride in their work. > > I have an older home in Squirrel Hill and interviewed 5 different renovation teams for my project (complete renovation of a 3rd floor and a 2nd floor bathroom). > After a thorough review of each bid and company, I proceeded with J Francis despite the slightly higher cost and am I thankful that I did. From start to finish, the communication from J Francis was clear and concise. > Once the project was started, weekly meetings were held to discuss the project status. The lead carpenter was on site every single day at 7 am. When they say they are starting at a certain time, they mean it. The subcontractors involved were also excellent to work with and many of them have had a long standing relationship with J Francis. The permits were obtained without drama. > 3 months out, I can say that I am extremely happy with the work performed and with my interactions with the team. They listened to me, kept me in budget, and kept the project on time. > Thank you J Francis team! **★★★★★ — drewpaterson, March 2023** > As a former field staff employee, I was to work on high-end builds with a cohesive operations and design staff. As an employee, one can work with a highly competent build team that encourages camaraderie and will grow your skills as a craftsman. There is a good work/life balance and the management team cares about their employees! **★★★★★ — Meredyth Lyons, Jan. 2023** > If you are interested in a home renovation, look no further than J Francis Company. We just completed our whole home gut renovation and the results are outstanding. Our home was 100 years old and needed major updates including entire home rewiring, structural beams and supports in the basement, new roof, all new flooring, gut renovation of kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms and laundry room. The quality of the work completed by the designer, project manager, carpenters and subcontractors is the best in the area. > > When we started searching for our contractor we knew we wanted a design/build company and one with extensive experience renovating old homes. These projects require experience, craftsmanship, and planning to make sure the project stays on budget and with the least amount of surprises you can hope for. J Francis was the first on our list to interview about seven design/build firms in the city. After interviewing the prospective candidates for the job, we knew we wanted J Francis and never looked back. We will only work with them in the future. > > Every time we would talk to someone about our experience, we had only positive things to say, which is very difficult to say nowadays. Over the past year and a half, the communication with the team has been incredible. The overall time frame was spot on. We were never in the dark or didn't know what the next step was or how long it would take. This is as professional a company as you can get. > > We truly believe you get what you pay for. All home renovations are expensive, even more so post-pandemic. Yes they are expensive, but of all the design/build firms in the area, they were all within ~5% of each other for prospective cost. You will save money, time and effort working with J Francis from the get go. **★★★★★ — Kristin Donnelly, Nov. 2022** > At a time when you hear horror stories about workers or companies promising work but not showing up, we are pleased to share that was not our experience with J Francis. We had a complete gut of our main floor kitchen and powder room. The designer proposed a great solution to reposition our powder room and give us a closet at our back door, took feedback and suggestions on a kitchen layout, and narrowed down finishing selections to avoid feeling overwhelmed by choices. The lead contractor was beyond outstanding and even helped trouble shoot an unexpected basement issue that added to the scope of work. J Francis is particular about its subcontractors, and if something didn’t go right, they made sure to fix it promptly themselves or have the subcontractor come back. That said, most of them were outstanding especially painting and flooring. We are thrilled with the final product and know the job was done well and with excellent craftmanship. We have received so many compliments. **★★★★★ — Allison Sizemore, May 2022** > We would highly recommend J. Francis. We are currently in progress with them on a full basement remodel. We can update when done, but they are taking a huge, largely unfinished space and creating a full guest suite, TV area, wine cellar, bar, and play and storage rooms. We have been very impressed at the organization, attention to detail, and quality work so far. The project was custom designed by Jason, and he is a pleasure to work with. He understood our style and goals right away, but is also patient with changes, questions, and helping us get exactly what we want. His vision and recommendations have been right on point, and he is also incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. > > We're well into construction now (shoutout to our lead carpenter, John, doing a great job) and the whole thing is moving much more smoothly than anyone would expect for large scale construction. J. Francis has done a great job with orchestrating all of the materials and moving pieces, checking in and providing helpful updates and recommendations, and generally keeping it moving forward. There are always some surprises, but they seem to have planned really well and kept us on time and on budget (other than some change orders we requested). We also appreciated the care they take in our home - they make it as easy as possible to have a months long construction project going. We know we're going to love this space and can see the quality work going into it! **★★★★★ — Ruth C, Feb. 2022** > We used J. Francis Company for our basement and office renovation and would highly recommend them for home improvement projects. The whole process was very well managed and organized from the first meeting to the final completion. All the staff were extremely helpful and professional with regular updates throughout the entire project to make the process as stress-free as possible. We would most definitely use J. Francis for future projects! **★★★★ — Brian King, Nov. 2021** > J Francis is a very professional and well organized company to work with. The quality of the work is top notch, with good communication throughout the process. The day to day builders and contractors were always very nice and accommodating to our family with young children. There were some early challenges with matching budget and scope, with great ideas presented to us that proposed expanding the scope of the project, but went beyond our fixed budget. However - this happened early enough in the process that we were able to adjust our plans accordingly without any surprises. We have not yet completed all of our original remodeling goals, but we are very happy with the work that has been completed (new patio with masonry wall, french drain system and repairs to the house frame). They continue to be attentive to concerns even after the work has been completed and clearly take pride in making sure the job is done to the highest standards. **★★★★★ — Robyn Barber, July 2021** > J. Francis worked with us to design and build a complete basement remodel, plus two full bathrooms. They were knowledgeable about specific issues with our old home and all requirements that would need to be met to pass inspections. The paid attention to details and let us know immediately about any problems that would cause a change order (like unlevel floors, unique subflooring, plumbing issues, etc.). They're not cheap, and they use a lot of subcontractors to get the work done, but they do their best to find and hire quality people who truly care about the work they're doing. If something isn't perfect (or close to it), they fix it. If you want your project done well and efficiently, then give J. Francis a call! **★★★★★ — HU-252395799, Feb. 2021** > Everyone at J Francis including the owner, designer, production manager, and lead carpenter was great to work with! We worked with J Francis to relocate our kitchen and add a half bathroom and closet. They were patient with us and willing to work on our timeframe without pressuring us to move forward before we were ready. During the design phase, they thoroughly investigated potential issues before construction began. Our designer provided great insight and recommendations to help us choose materials for our kitchen. The whole team communicated well throughout construction, especially by holding virtual weekly meetings to discuss progress to date and the upcoming schedule. They were willing to work on our house that was built in 1928 involving rerouting utilities and framing to relocate our kitchen. We are very happy with the final product and highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — HU-668649060, Jan. 2021** > J. Francis did a mudroom addition and deck for us, and the quality of the work and materials was great. The crew was professional and polite, and adapted easily and quickly to some unanticipated site issues discovered and some requested adjustments from us. They also had strong safety measures in place so that the project could be done amidst the Covid pandemic. The project management team was also very communicative, so we knew what had been completed, when issues arose, and what was planned to be done in the coming week. While the overall project cost ended up higher than expected, due in part to additional work we requested along the way, the work quality and the materials are top of the line so are worth the added cost. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > We enjoyed the challenge of integrating an addition that would blend with your beautiful stone exterior. It was also great to work with two fellow Heinz School Grads. **★★★★★ — dizzydee, Jan. 2021** > Highly recommend J. Francis Co! We had a porch remodel & basement bathroom done, and the process from design to completion was surprisingly easy. Everyone was professional and easy to work with. Both projects turned out beautifully. The attention to detail is amazing. J. Francis has a customer for life! **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Looking forward to working with you again in the Spring! Certainly the best compliment is being contacted for the next project. **★★★★★ — HU-27396298, Dec. 2020** > Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value > I have had a business relationship with J Francis for years and they are excellent. Our mutual clients give them rave reviews for their service and their attention to detail. They also renovated the building for my company and it turned out great. Great work ethic and all around good people. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > We appreciate how you have taken care of our customers when we have referred them to you for construction mortgage services. Always a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — daysix, Oct. 2020** > J. Francis Company is doing a project for us and we are so pleased with their expertise. They are redoing a kitchen and two bathrooms and we have never seen a company that is so committed to their work. Not only are they fastidious, but their talent is beyond compare. Working with Kortney, Doug and Randy makes the job run smoothly and if ever we decide to do another redo to our home we would without doubt use J. Francis Company. They are the BEST!!! **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > We loved working with you and your family. Soon you will be able to have your entire family over to enjoy your new kitchen. And there is room for all of them! **★★★★★ — Brad Korinski, July 2020** > My wife and I hired J. Francis to extensively renovate our kitchen and adjoining bathroom. It was a big project in terms of time and money. J. Francis did what was promised in a trustworthy, professional manner that gave us confidence. Indeed, the confidence to essentially turn over our house to strangers for several months! As a homeowner, I always believed that no matter what happened during the project, J. Francis would make it right and promptly address any problems/concerns. This is exactly what occurred. We now have a beautiful kitchen and bath, which is great because we have nowhere to go! If you are considering a home project, you owe it to yourself to call J. Francis. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > We get so many compliments on your "Lake View" kitchen. It is stunning and it was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — darla207, June 2020** > J Francis remodeled our basement, including playroom, built-ins, laundry room and a bathroom. We love the results. They were very professional: weekly meeting with our project manager, responsive via email, easily accepted changes to the plan and scope. Everyone who worked on the job was friendly. They were focused on providing top quality work. That said, it was not a cheap job. Overall, we were very pleased with J Francis. **★★★★★ — Ana Malnight, May 2020** > Currently we are in the process of remodeling our basement with J Francis. They have been exceptional. From the design process to now (a little over half way finished) they have been incredibly organized and responsive to all of our needs. They are also incredibly clean. We have bad allergies and they are so clean that we have had no asthma or allergies while they have been working in the basement. The work thus far has been very high quality and we are totally happy with the process. Highly recommend for your home remodel. **★★★★★ — JENNIFER HUSTED, Dec. 2019** > J Francis recently completed a total kitchen renovation. From design to demo, installation and project completion, everyone at J Francis was fantastic to work with and the outcome of the project was even better than we imagined. This was the second project we completed with J. Francis. > Would highly recommend J Francis for your construction needs. **★★★★★ — Mo, Oct. 2019** > J Francis has been a wonderful company to work with on our first floor remodel. Our designer / project manager has been creative and collaborative. She picked up on our personal style as well as the things we already liked about our home and came up with a selection of designs, cabinetry, colors, tiles, etc. that we found very easy to choose from. The team has kept us up to date on progress and what is coming next. We even got a picture of our cabinets (or at least the boxes that contained our cabinets) after they arrived at the J Francis warehouse. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > It has been wonderful reconnecting with you and Larry, after all those years of Scouting. You both have been so much fun to work with. **★★★★★ — Chris Strager, Aug. 2019** > We did a “long-distance”, full-house remodel with J. Francis on our home while I was working 1,000 miles away. From initial planning through project completion, their staff was continuously in touch with us and kept us completely updated via telcons, Google Hangout sessions, and e-mails. The project started and completed on time. And...the results were incredible! As with any project of this magnitude, there were the inevitable “things” that cropped up. But the staff was always on top of things, and in constant contact with us. We couldn’t be happier with the results, and would recommend them for anyone looking for a professional company who will walk you through the project from start to finish. **★★★★★ — Tom Black, June 2019** > Detail & process oriented contractors, providing drawings, broken down estimates, and options. Able to work with challenging constraints and react to in-flight difficulties professionally. On-site crew was respectful, cautious, and professional at all times. > > This is not a budget or lowest-bid style company. You pay for the time to plan, prepare, and execute the project. For the willing, this is fully worth it as there are fewer surprises and clear expectations of the work. **★★★★★ — Shawna Haynes, June 2019** > We were looking for not only a kitchen renovation but also an entire redesign of our first floor living space. J. Francis listened and created different options for us to consider. After deciding on the general design, they walked through each aspect of the renovation with their skilled project managers, lead carpenter, and creative design team. Their communication is top notch and they finished the project within the timeframe laid out at the beginning. The quality of their work is exceptional as they addressed each detail. A special shout out to Kortney, Dave, Kevin and Randy for making our home exactly what we envisioned. **★★★★★ — Todd, April 2019** > I highly recommend J Francis. J Francis remodeled our kitchen and bathroom and we are very happy with the work performed. One benefit of working with J Francis are the periodic follow-up walk throughs after the completion of the work. John, the owner, personally performs the walk throughs. There were a couple of issues that we pointed out to John at the 6 month walk through and without prompting, he immediately addressed the problems. It's hard to put a price on that level of service. Sometimes you get what you pay for and this is true with J Francis. **★★★★★ — Scott Satkoske, Jan. 2019** > J Francis is simply the best contractor in Western Pennsylvania for home remodeling. They are the perfect example of how to handle any size project from planning through execution. Their attention to detail is second to none. John gave me a great introduction to customer service and taught me about the workings of a successful small business. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — HU-737903456, Dec. 2018** > Great experience with the professionals at J Francis! We are doing a full-house remodel for our retirement residence. This can be an intimidating experience, but the difference between J Francis and the other firms we interviewed is they took the time to actually listen to what we wanted, and drew up a plan that met our vision. I’ve been working out of town for the past year, but wanted to get our project moving forward. That was no problem with J Francis, as they stayed in constant contact with us. We begin the actual remodel in January...cannot wait to see our vision become reality! My highest recommendation for this company. **★★★★★ — Stanley Biel, Nov. 2018** > This job started out as a new front porch but grew after finding a roof leak under our back deck. Since replacing the rubber roof under the deck required removing the deck, a new deck was installed. We also had some tiling work done in the bathroom, electrical work, plumbing work, and some concrete repair. The job was somewhat complex in that it required coordination of a number of subcontractors and interfaces between trades. J. Francis kept on the job with almost continuously, and worked with me to resolve the issues that did come up to my satisfaction - there are always somethings that go wrong of a larger job! J Francis did a good job of fixing mistakes and getting things done to my satisfaction. **★★★★★ — Scott Satkoske, Nov. 2018** > The J. Francis team is second to none in the city of Pittsburgh. The quality and craftsmanship of their projects is impeccable. The team from design through construction to completion is extremely professional. If you have any type of renovation project I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — HU-440046722, Oct. 2018** > We recently worked with J. Francis Co. on a tile flooring project that doesn’t come around very often these days. A Mexican Saltillo tiled breezeway/porch. We were proud to be a part of it. Looked amazing! Customers love it! Looking forward to working with them again! **★★★★★ — Shawna Haynes, Aug. 2018** > I was impressed with J Francis Company from our very first meeting. Everything from their communication, work ethic, attention to detail, and professionalism has been top notch. We are so pleased that we are starting another project and looking forward to working with them again. **★★★★★ — j s, July 2018** > We have worked with J Francis Company for over 25 years as a subcontractor and have witnessed the company steadily grow into a vastly experienced, highly respected, accountable partner for construction projects of many sizes and shapes. John and his team rigorously tackle jobs and can be counted on to provide an on budget, on time, well crafted, creative and clean product. It’s a very professional operation, always respectful of a client’s property and lifestyle needs. We recommend J Francis without hesitation. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Janice, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We value our relationships with our subcontractors. Trade partners are crucial for a successful project. It is always a pleasure to work with your team. **★★★★★ — Lucas Heller, July 2018** > My wife and I had an exceptional experience with J Francis. We would not hesitate to work with John and everyone at the company on future renovations at our home. They were precise, prompt and professional. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Luke, > Thank you for your review! You and Reva were such a pleasure to work with, and we hope to work with you again sometime. > > Best Wishes! > Kortney **★★★★★ — David Holland, June 2018** > We did a lot of research when considering upgrades to our home. It didn’t take long for us to find J. Francis Company. After doing our due diligence online, we called them. J Francis Company took the time to look at the space, learn what materials we liked and disliked, and what elements were important to incorporate for day to day function. We were very comfortable and confident that we had chosen the right people for the job. Their professionalism, attention to small details, and communication couldn’t be any better. They thought of things we never even considered with the project but that were necessary to the overall success. We never had a moment where we didn’t know how the project was progressing and best yet, the timeline and budget were spot on. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you, J Francis Company - we finally have our dream kitchen! **★★★★★ — Barbara M, May 2018** > Courteous and diligent staff. There were a few areas of finish detail that needed to be brought to their attention from time to time, and some of the costs considerably more than originally anticipated, but they came through and completed the work to our satisfaction. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Barbara, we appreciated your candor when we met and have implemented changes to improve in the areas we discussed. It was a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — Gary Matz, March 2018** > Complete house remodel. Everyone was courteous and competent. Any issues were resolved to our satisfaction. Crew was a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Margittai Architects, Feb. 2018** > Working alongside J. Francis Company for our project, the First Ave Loft, was truly a collaborative experience. The project converted a historic 18th century warehouse into a luxury loft, while highlighting the existing character of the heavy timber structure. They worked with us to execute the construction in a way that respected the historical integrity, and their attention to detail and craftsmanship gave new life to the space. We thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to partner with J. Francis Company because of their dedication and professionalism. This was not our first time working with J. Francis Company, and it would certainly not be our last! **★★★★★ — Michael Slotsky, Jan. 2018** > An absolutely outstanding General Contractor - You can not go wrong with John McCloskey and his entire J. Francis Company Team. Professional. Expert. Courteous. We've been working with J. Francis for the last five months to totally remodel our 68 year old house. Everything from bathrooms, to the kitchen, to hard wood floors, electrical, plumbing and HVAC work. Clearly the 'Thoroughbred' of Gen'l Contractors in Pittsburgh. I'd choose John and his Team again in a New York Minute. My only regret is not calling them earlier. Perfections is their standard. No matter how high your expectations, John's Team will exceed them. You will enjoy having them in your home and be so proud of the improvements they make for you. Thank you John, Dave, Shawn, Doug, Jessie and Andy! Keep up the outstanding work! **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Thank you Michael, we're glad we've had the opportunity to work together. **★★★★★ — Jonathan Golli, Jan. 2018** > As a design professional, I have worked with J.

We have always enjoyed working with you and our reciprocity brought everyone the AIA award for the Warhol Lobby. **★★★★★ — Brind'Amour Design, Oct. 2017** > John, Dave, Shawn and the entire team at J. Francis Company are top notch. It's difficult to find a decent, caring, honest and professional General Contractor, particularly in the residential market and this team hits every mark. The quality of effort, and the care they put in to every detailed is rarely matched in the industry. It's also wonderful that they have such great design talent in house, and can really take you from dreams to reality, working with you on design, pricing and details every step of the way. They excel at communication and presenting everything in a fair and straightforward manner. I worked as an architect on the team at J. Francis directly for several years and can say from someone on the inside that the customer always comes first with this company. Whenever anyone asks for a recommendation for a quality residential or remodeling contractor, J. Francis is always the first name I recommend. **★★★★★ — Greg Anderson, Oct. 2017** > We had our 20+ year old deck replaced with a covered living area and a pergola. J Francis provided a complete solution from design through build-out. They were very easy to work with throughout the process and their craftsmanship, professionalism and overall approach was first-rate. I highly recommend J Francis. **★★★★★ — leela923, Oct. 2017** > We have done over 5 projects with the team at J. Francis that include some large ones like updating a kitchen, a gorgeous master closet room , and a Victorian porch on our historical home. They are knowledgeable , very high quality but most importantly, in my book, accountable and reliable. The engineers and carpenters are first class and I trust them in my home to make the right decisions. They are one of the most professional contractors and companies that we have worked with on any of our homes. I wouldn’t hesitate for one second to hire them for your job. **★★★★★ — Carol Downey Fuller, AIA, Sept. 2017** > I have worked on projects with J. Francis Company for more than ten years. I find John McCloskey to be very knowledgeable regarding constructability, project costs and the Pittsburgh construction market. I highly recommend J. Francis Company. **★★★★★ — Tom Black, Sept. 2017** > Pleased with complete process, from planning to design to execution. Quality of work consistent and good across the variety of projects I had done. Organized, prepared detail for project steps and invoices throughout. The crew that worked was friendly & professional, interested in doing what was right and doing it well the first time. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Thank you Tom. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Eddie M, Aug. 2017** > J Francis hit it out of the park again. We used them to renovate our home and decided to go with them again to demolish our old 2 car garage and build a new 3 car one. From the design phase to the finishing touches they were fantastic. They turned our vision into reality again. We could not recommend them any more highly. We look forward to utilizing their services again on our next project! **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Thank you so much for your kind words. We really enjoyed working on this project and helping you transform your home! **★★★★★ — georgeott1, April 2017** > Total package from design to completion ensured quality. Weekly meetings with the architect and manufacturing manager provided timely communication and resolution of issues. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > We're happy to have been a part of your project. Thank you. **★★★★★ — Vicky Hoffman, Feb. 2017** > J. Francis was a pleasure to work with. Every single employee was extremely professional, very friendly, and extraordinarily helpful. They were always on time and cleaned up beautifully, putting a high priority on making our kitchen renovation as unobtrusive and easy for us as possible. They even helped us set up our “temporary kitchen,” so we could cook throughout the renovation. The design of the new kitchen is absolutely beautiful and is really functional. It is so much fun to cook and entertain in our new space. We wonder if this excitement will wear off, but we like to just sit in the kitchen and marvel at how much we love it. **Comment from J. Francis Company LLC:** > Great to hear you're enjoying the new kitchen. This was an exciting project for us as well. Thank you. **★★★★★ — Schellhaas Landscape Construction, Feb. 2017** > I've worked with J. Francis for a few years now. True professionals from start to finish. Their designs and finished project is unparalleled. I'm always eager to work with this company on all their projects. **★★★★★ — Catherine Walsh, Jan. 2017** > I would like to share that my recent experience with J Francis Company team was great! I highly recommend them. From the beginning of the project concept; throughout the entire renovation of my garage-basement; each team member assigned to their task and responsibility saw it through to completion, with my satisfaction being their ultimate goal. I appreciated the ongoing communication and updates from both the Project Manager and Designer who displayed professionalism and eagerness to work closely with me on my vision. Not only have they provided additional living space but have added monetary value to my home. Thanks, guys! **★★★★★ — Peter Cravotta, Jan. 2017** > I installed office furniture in several locations after J Francis Company renovated the space. First, I noticed that they always were on schedule as my install team never had to wait for them to complete their task in our scheduled work area. Second, the quality of work is meticulous, professional, and done correctly. Last, but not least, the positive attitude the employees at J Francis has on the job site demonstrates their professionalism, integrity, and respect for their company and the clients. **★★★★★ — Sharon DiPaolo, Dec. 2016** > J.

They make it so much easier to go through a remodel stress free. **★★★★★ — Linda McLean, Nov. 2016** > The JFrancis Company is probably the most professional construction company I have ever worked with, and believe me I have had many bad experiences. Andy, George and Rich arrived ever AM way ahead of their 7:30 start time. > Not only was their work impeccable but they were friendly and polite. They befriended my Rottweiler, Mae, to the point that she would cry upon hearing their vehicles outside. She ate lunch with them every day and was delighted to steal their rags and small tools. They viewed that as play and it made her love them even more. > Not only was their work perfect, they finished the job in a timely manner- quite unusual for a construction company. Overall an awesome company!!!! **★★★★★ — Todd's Certified Home Repairs, Nov. 2016** > I have work with John and his staff on several projects and I must say the service level they provide is above and beyond.

Francis Company to anyone interested in home remodeling (and other!) projects and look forward to working with them again in the future. **★★★★★ — Michele Myers, Nov. 2016** > Through the entire project, concept to design, construction to finished product this team was very professional and delivered more than I expected. J. Francis was able to make my vision a reality that I will love for years. We have a beautiful gourmet kitchen that required an addition to our home along with a brand new partially covered deck that has inspired others. > The team delivered on time and within our budget. I will continue to recommend them for any size project **★★★★★ — rnelson16, Nov. 2016** > Over the past 18 months we have engaged the J. Francis Company for three projects that affected every room in our 150+ year old home. Projects included custom bedroom closets, remodel & updates to two bathroom,s kitchen updates, refurbish original fireplaces and minor repairs. Throughout the process the JFC staff were easy to work with and professional. Each project was completed on time and within budget. I highly recommend JFC to anyone looking for a quality, professional design to build contractor for their home or business. > Bob & Linda > Nov 2016 **★★★★★ — Diane, Oct. 2016** > J. Francis completely renovated our kitchen and attached spaces. They were involved from design through completion. Our experience was excellent from start to finish. They proposed an innovative design that gave us everything we wanted and more. The project was completed in the time frame and price range initially agreed upon. The results are amazing. Everyone involved in the project was professional, courteous, and respectful of our home, Communication is a specialty - we met with them regularly and always knew exactly what was going on and what was coming up. We give them our highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — Conor McCaskey, Oct. 2016** > We hired J. Francis because they came highly recommend. Previously we had been using a jack of all trades and spending the money twice. We thought we wouldn't be able to afford a company like J Francis. in reality we saved money when we started to work with them. We love that they are a design build company that take ownership of the project. The amount of documentation is phenomenal. They ability to adapt to our curve balls and changes is significant. Anyone that is considering a Contractor should Call J. Francis Company. You will not regret it. **★★★★★ — Paul Nawrocki, Sept. 2016** > This was the second project I have used J Francis on. > > J Francis is a highly professional firm that uses a clear, transparent process to drive successful completion of your project. Scope of project, detailed plans, and clear accurate costing are their hallmarks. > > Everyone I worked with at J Francis, on both projects, were thoroughly professional and committed to delivering a successful project. **★★★★★ — colleen10, June 2016** > J. Francis Company completed a basement renovation. We love our beautiful new basement, and the company was absolutely fantastic to work with! You won't find a more responsive, professional, and skillful team! **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2015** > I have used J Francis a number of times because they do extremely high-quality work, have tradesmen (or similarly skilled subs) capable of handling all aspects of the job, and are a good choice for jobs that are more than we could do in-house but that the big construction companies are not interested in doing. They are very flexible in terms of scheduling and if they see a way to improve the original design for functional reasons or even VE purposes, they always bring it to our attention. **★★★★★ — aaronbubenheim, Dec. 2015** > I highly recommend J. Francis Company. I have worked with John McCloskey for several years. He and the company are extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of property remodeling. **★★★★★ — donsmith516, Aug. 2015** > We did a complete renovation of our kitchen. We could not have been happier with our experience working with J. Francis Co., LLC and overall supervisor/principal Dave Myers, Project Manager Matt Brind'Amour, Designer Melanie Verbaarschott and Lead Carpenter Doug and his assistants, Joe and Dan. From the minute we walked in to their offices for the initial meeting to the end of the project, they made it easy on us. They delivered on their mission statement of first developing trust. Everything else flowed from there. The quality of the people is first rate. Knowledgeable, confident, competent, personable. The quality of the work is first rate. Dave bid the job and worked with us to arrive at the final scope of work and price in a very relaxed way. Melanie and Matt worked with us to design the space. They hit the nail on the head the first time. We gave them an idea on the overall scheme from a magazine picture and they did the rest. Melanie came to the house for hands-on attention with respect to guiding the cabinet and countertop installation and did a lot of behind the scenes work. All the components and supplies arrived exactly on schedule, which tells us that JFCo has great suppliers who respect JFCo. Matt's response time via email or phone call and attention to every detail was amazing. He came over to the house a lot to make sure everything was going according to plan. Plus, every Wednesday he gave us a progress report and a "what you can expect next week" report. When these guys say they're going to do something, they do it. And they do it when they say they're going to do it. The project came in exactly on time. They are sticklers for getting every detail correct. Doug is a tremendous lead carpenter. He knows how to manage his staff. Very easy going and willing to discuss anything anytime. The work space was spotless every single day when Doug and his crew were done. We are looking forward to using JFCo for our planned future projects! Thank you, J. Francis and Company! **★★★★★ — sefk353, March 2015** > Installed new kitchen cabinets, appliances, lighting and granite counter tops. Installed wainscoting in foyer and upstairs hallway. > > Everything went well and the results are just beautiful! I couldn't be happier. Melanie is an excellent designer and her input and suggestions were right on the mark. Her professionalism is equal to her friendly personality. From the design phase to the completion of both projects, each and every step of the process went smoothly and all conditions of the contract were faithfully honored. > > I will certainly work with Melanie and J Francis again for future projects that I have on my wish list. It was a pleasure to have her crew in my home and the results are just stunning! > > Many thanks to all. **★★★★★ — Melodie Schooley, Oct. 2013** > I have worked with Melanie for over 5 years on various projects ranging in price. I've always enjoyed her professionalism yet kind hearted nature. I would never hesitate collaborating on any project. > > Melanie is dedicated, focesed, and understands details behind construction. She is always looking to improve her knowledge, and try new more challenging projects. This is what makes her a great addition to any project team. ## Selected projects - [Mt.
