First Class Contracting

They were able to start the afternoon after we signed the contract.  The gentlemen on the job arrived early in the morning and worked straight through to lunch - then broke for lunch and went right back to work.  I was very impressed with their work ethic as in the past when I have had things done BY OTHER COMPANIES  that was not the case.  The First Class Contracting workers   were careful of our landscape, etc. and made  sure things were protected and covered,  When the job was completed they cleaned up the work area and the whole area was cleaned up by them - it was so nice.

The owner Charlie Evans stopped by often to check the job - picked up supplies needed - they stayed right on target with the job completion and at the end the head foreman took me all around the house explaining the things they did and had me check to make sure everything met my expectations. VERY PLEASED

I WOULD HIGHLEY RECOMMEND THEM

Bill Evans rang the door bell.  He said he was in the neighborhood doing a job and asked if I had any problem with my gutters.  He suggested the larger 6K gutter because my cape style house has a large sloping roof and it would prevent water from running over the gutter. He claimed he was the only contractor on the area that made this size.  (I do have a problem with overflow during heavy rainstorms even when the gutters were new.)  I usually do not respond to cold call sales but Mr. Evans said he was on Angie's List so I read his reviews before signing the contract.

They did excellent quality work, are very professional, and cleaned the yard before leaving.  My only regret is not getting cost estimates from a couple other contractors.  I realize 6K gutters are more expensive than regular gutters, but $4800.00 is more than double the price of regular gutters with gutter guards. A internet search found other contractors in the area that install 6K gutters and they come in a wide variety of colors.  Mr. Evans only had white gutters.

They also did some minor repairs to the roof for $1000.00.  I would use them in the future based on the quality of work but would get estimates from other contractors to compare the price difference.

We have no complaints. They were efficient and completed all the work in a couple of days.

• When power washing, not only was the exterior siding washed, but so was a concrete patio attached to the rear of the house, a stoop attached to the rear of the garage and the aluminum siding of a small add-on porch attached to one side of the house.

  • When I inquired if two abandoned rusting protruding exterior vents from a previous kitchen relocation could be removed and the area repaired with spare shingles that I had, Mr. Evans was most accommodating and made the requested repair.  Now painted; it looks great.
  • When I realized that painting the front door surround was not part of the original scope and requested it be included, that became part of the work.  Again it looks great.
  • Where shutters were removed that were purposely not being replaced, appropriate repair of the underlying shingles were made and care was taken to assure that the shadows of their prior existence didn?t show through the new paint.
  • Where shutters were being replaced, all the holes from prior shutters and prior repairs were filled with mortar or patch material even where the new shutters would have masked their presence.
  • Downspouts were removed prior to painting and replaced afterwards to assure thorough coverage.
  • All jobs of this nature encounter bumps.  They were absorbed and additional requests that were outside the original scope were completed without additional cost, even though I let it be known that I was expecting to be charged.
