J. Francis Company LLC

We chose J Francis Co when we moved to area about 15 years ago based on a referral from someone else in the business, and we truly couldn't have made a better choice. From bathroom remodeling and interior renovations to gutter repairs, windows, doors, painting, ventilation and chimney work, their craftsmanship is excellent. They are reliable, professional, and take great pride in their work. Dave and the entire J Francis team truly stand by their "once a customer, always a customer" philosophy. They've provided honest advice, dependable service and peace of mind whenever projects or repairs come up. Every job has been done right and built to last. We highly recommend J Francis Co for quality home remodeling and contracting work.

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.”

As a contractor, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many renovation companies over the years, and J. Francis Co truly stands out as one of the best. Their communication is clear, timely, and professional, which makes every project run smoothly from start to finish. What really sets them apart is their responsiveness. Anytime a question or concern comes up, Deanna, Jesse, and their team are quick to provide solutions, keeping production flowing. I truly look forward to working with them again in the near future!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. J Francis renovated our horrible 80’s bathroom. It is now a lightly mid century modern to go with the rest of our house. They do beautiful work. They understand architecture and do custom wood work. Timely. On budget. Whole process felt great. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Our new favorite room in the house!

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. Thank you J Francis for all your hard work breathing life into our century old home. We look forward to working with you again!
