Review by in Newark, DE
I hired Francis Kelly & Sons to replace my front porch slab and front sidewalk. They are a pleasure to work with, start to finish. Dan came out promptly to provide the estimate. The work commenced within 3 weeks, and was completed in the projected timeframe. Quality is fantastic. Both Dan and Cynthia are professional, communicate well, are nice people, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Kelly from the time of the estimate to the end of the job. I needed my driveway to be raised to keep from flooding and he did an excellent job. His crew was friendly and when the work was done, they were back the next day fixing my flower bed and putting in fill dirt and grass seed where needed! I recommend Mr. Kelly without hesitation.

Francis Kelly & Sons, Inc. was hired by my wife and me to replace our front walk and a portion of our driveway. They did a great job; the concrete looks great. It was a real pleasure to work with a contractor that takes "pride" in what they do. Everyone was friendly, professional and efficient in the entire project. I highly recommend Francis Kelly & Sons, Inc. for any concrete work that you have.

We had 5 different contractors come to the house to give their recommendations...no one even came close to the detail and professionalism of Mr. Kelly. We had a severe problem with our garage floor...but now, we have EVERY confidence in the quality of work. PLUS, Mr. Kelly is about one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet...a sheer delight. The office staff is very attentive as well. 100% satisfied...would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Kelly!

Late start!
Response by Francis Kelly & Sons, Inc.: So many factors go into pouring concrete. The weather & the concrete deliveries are two factors totally out of our control. Sometimes we are not able to start when we first projected and that is unfortunate. The key is flexibility & patience! But I know it's so hard when it is your home & you want the project done. Thanks for hanging in there with us so we could successfully pour your project.

Outstanding...
Response by Francis Kelly & Sons, Inc.: The score of 1 looks to be inaccurate because our customer didn't finish her comments. We hope Kathleen will complete her comments so this project can be scored accurately. Thanks!

One problem with Kelly, he has got to keep customers better informed. The original work date was pushed back 3 times - Apr.11 19 21. And on the final day of installation it rained all day, but his crew did a good job in protecting their work from the elements and did a good job on replacing the displaced soil and seeded around the driveway. Kelly does good work for sure but one feels like a small potato when bigger jobs come along. pushing the home owner to the back. That was the feeling I got in hiring him but would still recommend him provided the customer has flex time, which I did not because my house was being listed for sale.
Response by Francis Kelly & Sons, Inc.: We appreciate your feedback but just wanted to clarify that we try to pin point the week the work is to be done but always make it clear that it is subject to weather conditions which vary, especially in the spring season. Thanks for your feedback:)

Mr. Kelly was a pleasure to work with & the least expensive, while performing a thorough / long lasting job - replaced the front concrete patio/walkway.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
