James F Wilcox Construction

James F Wilcox was one of three contractors that gave us quotes on pouring and stampcreteing a patio that was replacing a wooden deck (why does anyone still have a deck with all the maintanence), pouring and stampcreteing a portion of our driveway, and doing an overlay of stampcrete on our exsisting sidewalk and landing.

James F Wilcox was one of three contractors that gave us quotes on pouring and stampcreteing a patio that was replacing a wooden deck (why does anyone still have a deck with all the maintanence), pouring and stampcreteing a portion of our driveway, and doing an overlay of stampcrete on our exsisting sidewalk and landing. Jim was not the least expensive qoute we got. Jim was the only contractor quoting us that pointed out the grade in the back yard was pitched toward our house which he would fix the grade when he came. My wife and I were originally going to have the sidewalk torn out and replaced with new concrete then stampcreted. Jim again was the only contractor to tell us he could do an overlay on the exsisting sidewalk and landing with stampcrete, a savings of $3500 over the other contractors that bid on only tearing the sidewalk out! Once finished Jim corrected the grade with premium topsoil Icalled Jim to get a quote and got his voicemail he promptly returned my call. He did stop at our house while my father-in law was there doing some work. Jim looked at the work we wanted done and called me later in the day. I asked him to send me a quote but he insisted on meeting with my wife and myself on a Sunday! He showed up promptly on Sunday and went over the job with us pointing out several things we had overlooked. He emailed us the quote the following day,Monday.The weather presented some challenges to start the job. Jim was careful not to start work that would interfere with the pouring of the concrete, stamping, or sealing of his work. Jim has two specialists working with him one of which is his brother Jeff and also John. All three gentlemen were professional and helpful as the process went along. As the work progressed you could see that they had an eye for detail being very particular about how the concrete looked as it was being poured and as it was setting. As they stamped the concrete Jim could be heard offering his coaching of "not so hard"! They used a Bobcat and small backhoe. The process with the machinery tore up the lawn. The topsoil that Jim brought in was the finest quality and the grading that they did to the lawn was near flawless!
