"Had exterior of house resided and new granite counter tops installed. All sub contractors were very great to work with. The guys who did the siding were very attentive to details and worked long hours. Any issues that did arise, Willet did a great a job handling them. Would definitely recommend Willet Remodeling and Construction."
