During 2020 and 2021, we invited five contractors into our home to look over our existing master bathroom, learn about our needs and desires and provide a written estimate for the remodeling project. To this day -- 8/9/2024 - we have not received a written estimate from any of them. To protect the guilty, I wont post their company names. But I digress. Totally exasperated, I started researching general contractors in the Dayton area and found W.E. Bilbrey General Contractors gallery of projects including master bathrooms and aging in place. Michelle Bilbrey of W.E. Bilbrey met with us, understood our needs and worked with us over a period of weeks in 2023 to capture not only what we needed now, but also how to easily adapt the new shower if grab bars would be needed in ten or fifteen years. The results look like something out of a magazine! Notice the tile going around the middle of the shower? Michelle and her crew were able to not only put that cigar band in the shower, but used our design idea for continuing it across the top of the vanity instead of the typical backsplash.The five other companies that we contacted about this project could not understand why we wanted this design approach or how to do it. Going one step further, W.E. Bilbrey completed the work on time, in scope and on budget--a text book example of how to plan and execute a major remodeling project!

From the first meeting to the end Bill was very friendly. He explain the whole process to us. He really took the time to answer any questions we had.The add on remodeling that bill and his crew did for our kitchen is amazing!!! We love it so much!! From the 21 custom built cabinets to the flooring, we love the new addition. We would absolutely reconnect with Bill for other home project of our house. Bill and his crew made the process very enjoyable. We would recommend him to our friends and family.

We are extremely satisfied with the work completed by W. E. Bilbrey. During a year abroad my sons historic Oakwood home suffered damage due to a leaky roof. He contracted with Bilbrey to replace the roof, repair the damage to interior walls and ceiling, and also to gut and remodel a dated bathroom while he was away. They did an excellent job. As house sitter I was in the home as the work was in progress. They were efficient, considerate, and helpful. My son was very happy with the completed work and plans to hire W.E. Bilbrey to do more renovations on his house in the future.

My experiences with W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor has been very positive the few times I needed their assistance with projects. 2016 I needed concrete work to be performed for breaking up the old concrete, removing the 5” PVC piping and then laying new concrete due to water problems around the house. When I contacted Mr. Bilbrey and explained my situation he said he will get someone out to take a look at the situation. Within 1 week a representative came out, evaluated the situation and provided me with a cost. The employee was very professional and explained everything that needed to be done from the beginning to the end of the project.We are now looking to remodel our kitchen which will be a complete gut job including laying new flooring. I have reached out again with Mr. Bilbrey for his assistance. He and I spoke about what my wife is looking to have done this Spring (2018). Michelle from his company will be assigned to help us to understand what all will be performed and cost associated with this big project of ours. I am confident when the weather break I will be able to schedule some time with Michelle.On a personal note…...Mr. Bilbrey has always come across as a very honest and honorable person. I have met a few of his employees and that entire organization represent themselves very professionally. I have a very high level of confidence that if there were any issues that he will personally ensure satisfaction.

I have worked with W.E. Bilbrey for a few years now. Before them I have worked with multiple other contractors and can honestly say no other projects have gone as smoothly as they have with W.E. Bilbrey. They have done jobs for me ranging from remodeling bathrooms to remodeling an entire apartment building. The work they have done on each project has been exceptional. The crews and representatives were always on time and easy to get hold of. They leave their work areas clean at the end of each day, not just when the project is over. When quoting the projects I felt listened too and that they did their best to do what I wanted done. Also, at the start of each project they did a good job explaining what to expect and giving me realistic timelines. Bill is easy to work with and has handled all the unexpected issues that come with any project professionally and calmly. Anytime an issue did arise it was addressed honestly, openly, and quickly. They also have been flexible in working with me, allowing me to do certain parts of the projects myself to save on cost. At the end of each project they assured I was happy with what was completed and stood behind their work. Overall, I would recommend them to anybody who is looking to have quality work done.

W.E. Bilbrey did a wonderful job with our tornado repairs. Repairs look great!! They replaced both the house and garage roofs, siding, replaced windows, fixed a hole in the upper part of the house, replaced a door and a garage door. They were able to handle all the repairs we need done and we didnt have to go to any other sources for any of the work. They knew the stress we were dealing with from the tornado and was very helpful about taking a lot of the stress off us. They made sure the repairs were completed before winter set in. Their quality of work was excellent!!!

Dear Bill,I just wanted to send you a little note to tell you and your wonderful employees how happy I am with the bathroom remodel. Everyone did an amazing job. I was kept informed and my wishes were always respected. Considering the busy time of year, I think everything went smoothly and the bathroom looks fantastic. I certainly look forward to working with you again in the near future. Thank you for making the remodel easy on my house, family and dog!Sincerely,Suki

April 2017To whom it may concern:We wanted an updated look to replace the avocado-gold bathroom we had been living with for over 20 years. Before choosing W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor as our contractor, we had looked at various stores and had not seen anything we liked. W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor offered us a great choice of cabinets, flooring and tile to put together a look we wanted. They gave us the flexibility to choose all the materials and colors for our bathroom. When we visited the wholesale tile and flooring companies that W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor works with, we found wall tile, trim and flooring that were distinctive and blended beautifully together. W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor reworked the estimate for the bathroom design several times, making changes to the design to reduce the cost until the total cost of the project was in the range we were willing to spend. W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor involved us in all the small decisions, like where to hang towel bars, so the new bathroom would be convenient for us. Then they turned our ideas into a beautiful room with quality work in all the details. When the original bathtub arrived with a scratch, they ordered another one so we would have a flawless bathtub in our remodeled bathroom. When our over-commode cabinet came in with rough wood on the bottom edge, the carpenter designed a molded edge to cover the rough wood that blends with the rest of the design. We love our remodeled bathroom.In summary, the W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor staff and workmen were all easy to work with and very capable, they kept us informed about the schedule for the job and they left the job site clean every night. We would strongly recommend W.E. Bilbrey General Contractor if you want a local company who would do a quality job for you.Sincerely,John & Rita Lethert

W. E. Bilbrey added a room addition to our home, which included a larger kitchen, dining area and family room. We just have to say “WOW” what a transformation. Their workmanship is outstanding, they are detail oriented, friendly and trustworthy. They listened to our needs and wish list and helped us narrow down want we really wanted. We couldn’t be happier with the competed project. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality company that does quality work.

Needed my kitchen remodeled and my bathroom was in bad repair! Called W. E. Bilbrey and Bill came out himself with Michelle to meet with me and check every box I was asking for. The finished product took some time to get to but I couldn’t ask for a better job. Their guys in the field were always courteous and professional and their work speaks for itself. Thank you W. E. Bilbrey for your amazing job! I’ll definitely call you back when I get my basement redone 😊👍

To Whom It May Concern:My wife and I made a momentous decision – move to a larger home, or add a room to our house to give us more flexibility and improve our home entertainment options. We decided to add the room.We had no hesitation at all in contracting with Bill at W E Bilbrey General Contractor to do the project, since his craftsmen had remodeled a bathroom for us a couple of years ago. Obviously, we were quite pleased with the bathroom remodel, or Bill’s company would not have been considered again.We had a general idea of what we wanted – a large room with lots of windows, cathedral ceiling and its own heating/cooling system. Beyond that, Bill and his craftsmen helped us with all the miscellaneous details involved to make this project a reality.Everyone assigned to the job, from Bill’s employees to his sub-contractors, were extremely capable, reliable, courteous and trustworthy. A project of this undertaking is a true partnership, and we were quite pleased with the professionalism of those involved, and especially with the final outcome of the room.As friends, relatives and neighbors have viewed the new room, we get many positive comments. But you may never know how well others perceive it until you get unsolicited comments from true strangers. We’ve had that opportunity several times, and the most common comment we receive from them when they view the room is “Wow!” The room is truly amazing and more than fits the purpose for which we had it constructed.We still have other projects in mind, and we will again be contacting W E Bilbrey General Contractor when we are ready to start them.W. Lawrence Dykes

We have hired W.E. Bilbrey four times. After the first job--a kitchen renovation--we knew we had found a top-notch company with skilled craftsmen. That is why we have hired him three more times. Bill listens to the customers needs, makes valuable suggestions, and gets the job done. He makes frequent trips to the job site and performs the final inspection of all work. If you want the job done right and by people who know what they are doing, hire W.E. Bilbrey. We will definitely hire him again.

To Whom It May Concern:Whenever I need repairs or a remodel on my house I always call Bill Bilbrey. His company has done several jobs for me in the past 10 years, both large and small. They have completed new construction (a garage) and remodeling (my bathroom) for me as well as a number of repairs. Their work is always of excellent quality and they use quality materials. My favorite part is how they clean up after themselves! Everyone is considerate of the homeowner and their concerns throughout the process of completing the job. When I have wanted repurpose materials from a job, Bill’s group has patiently honored my request and helped me move the materials to another location for my convenience.Whenever I have had a concern or question, Bill answers promptly and addresses the concern quickly. Unlike other contractors, he has never told me what I have to accept on a job or how much I would be willing to pay. Another contractor did that and they lost my business for life. Bill has always answered my questions patiently and thoroughly and gives service of the highest quality. He makes sure the customer is satisfied before the last check is written.I first met Bill when I was doing an internship in Occupational Therapy and I can attest that Bill treats everyone with the same courtesy no matter what their physical challenges may be. It is his personal touch that sets his company above the rest and I recommend his company to everyone that needs contractor services. No job is too big or small and each job receives the same consideration.You will not regret putting your home’s needs into Bill Bilbrey’s hands.Phyllis
