"It was a good experience having Willie to build and remodel our home. He was very conservative with our money and materials and his reputation of honest made it worry free."

"I have known Willie through my son, Rick, and Willie’s son, Casey, for some years starting when Rick was attending ASU in the early 90's. The 1st experience was when Rick's house in Little Rock was broken in and robbed. The robber broke the house's front door and Mr. Stone came all the way to Little Rock to replace the door for us. I thought this was a very nice jester.

We contacted Willie to see if he would build the home and he consented. He assisted us with suggesting someone to help with the plans, securing a construction loan and about everything associated with the construction. Every where you go in Heber Springs, the merchants know Willie Stone and truly think of him as good craftsman with good character. Anywhere you went in town, when you mentioned Willie was your contractor, all would comment- well you have the best.

The merchants would tell my wife and me that they will be glad to work with Willie because he knows what he is doing and does it correctly. We were fortunate to secure Mr. Stone because we were over 100 miles away and could not frequent the site very often. But when we could visit, we would call Willie to discuss the construction. He always came over and was always patient and helpful. He never got upset when we would "think" of new stuff to all.

Our home in Heber Springs is a very lovely place, with so many details.

Everyone who visits our home remarks about the superb craftsmanship. Yes, we are real proud of the cabin. I always found Mr. Stone to be a very fine honest Christian gentleman that could really be trusted. 

An embarrassing situation for me was when he contacted poison ivy while working on our home and had to seek medical treatment to stop the itching. I've since killed most of the PI so he won't contact it when he visits us again.

Thanks for a great job- Mr. Willie Stone"

"Willie Stone is a legend in his own time. At least in Cleburne County!!

I think it was at least eight years ago when I first heard the name “Willie Stone”. Seems everybody I talked with knew the name and praised his work as a builder. Even better, he was always described as an honest and honorable man.When my husband died I decided to sell my house and strike out on my own and have a house built. I was terrified at the thought. I have heard that during the construction of a house there have been divorces, murders, and suicides as a result of the stress involved. One visit from Willie and I knew I had nothing about which to worry.It was eight months before Willie was able to start my house but I was determined to wait as long as it took. Willie and his crew were so patient with me and all the changes I wanted made along the way. Building the house was a painless experience…at least for me. Not too sure Willie would agree?

One thing I do know for sure: Willie is definitely the honest and honorable man everyone says he is and is a pleasure to know.By the way, Willie, I sure do need a storm door installed and I know you are never busy. How about it?"

"Willie D Stone--you always remembered my favorite comment "just keep it cheap". In addition to being a great builder, you and your family are our friends and we've appreciated that relationship so much. Also, you are very laid back, which helped you "negotiate" with Erin during our construction process. I never worried about the quality of your work, or the honesty with which you conducted business, because I could see the pride you took in producing the most well-built home possible, and you were always attentive to any concerns we might have. Thanks for everything, Willie, YOU'RE THR BEST!!!!"

"It didn't seem to matter what we asked... Willie and his crew were ready and able to pull it off for us. We would show him photographs in magazines and say, "We want it to look like this," or "That's what we were thinking," and they would make it happen! Willie helped us get all of the little added, "extra touches" that make a home a custom home, like extra-wide window sills, special trim detail on all of the door baseboards, and the utmost attention to all of the little details. He selected sub-contractors he knew would give us the best possible outcome, and his standards were extremely high. If delivered lumber and materials didn't meet Willie's approval, they went right back to the manufacturer.

We are certain we tried Willie's patience by having house plans drawn, then abandoning them 2 weeks before construction began, in favor of a plan we found in a catalog. When the new plans actually arrived, the design of an upstairs bed and bath suite was not correct and simply could not be constructed (you couldn't stand up in the shower!). Willie wasn't fazed... he just redesigned the suite, and the result was even better than the original, with the added bonus of a gigantic bedroom closet that proved to be invaluable storage space.

Our house took approximately 6 months to complete, and by the time we were finished, Willie Stone and his family and crew were part of OUR family, and we remain in close contact still. In fact, we have subsequently had Willie and his crew handle remodeling work on 3 other properties.

We are so glad we were able to secure Willie Stone Construction for our building project. When people ask us who built our house, we can proudly say, "Willie Stone... the finest builder in the area."
