Brian and his crew (especially Tim) were conscientious throughout the entire process of finishing our basement. A full bath, bedroom with walk-in closet and family room were constructed. The materals and workmanship were all excellent and Brian is a hands on contractor, he was at our home almost every day to check on the progress of the job. The parts of the project that required subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, flooring, hvac) were all completed by professionals who did an excellent job. Again Brian would be there to check on the work done by his Subs and have them correct any issues that he was not satisfied with during the entire project. We felt that the price quoted for the project was very reasonable and the project was completed in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Brian and First State Home & Garden for any of your construction needs, he is an excellent and meticulous builder.

We contracted First State Home and Garden to remodel our main bathroom. This renovation required replacing the existing fixtures, walls, tub, vanity, lighting, and toilet. Brian and his crew worked around the clock for a little under four weeks to get this work done on time and under budget. We were thoroughly impressed with Brian's craftsmanship and keen attention to detail. The work is flawless and every aspect of the job was well thought-out. We were also very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire renovation. Brian and his crew worked hard to minimize clutter and dust around our house. I highly recommend 1st State Home & Garden!

First Stae Home and Garden rates my higest praise. Brian (owner) and his associates provided the highest quality of workmanship at a very reasonable price. They were prompt, friendly, considerate and courteous for the entire duration of the project (bathroom remodel). I will certainly recommend them to others and plan to use them in future projects of my own. It is rare these days to find such a combination of value, skill, and courtesy. Thanks guys.

I had the pleasure of working with Brian Gaskill this past week. I had a moldy closet that needed to be completely gutted and built back up. As soon as I put a request in on this site Brian called me so we could schedule a time for him (and his co-worker Christine Evans) to come out to the house to check out the job site. I had a good feeling about them from the start. I hired them for the job which Brian started a couple days later. There are too many details I am happy with I can�t even write them all down. The final product is awesome and I am amazed by how happy I am about a silly closet now. I will most definitely work with him again!

Brian responded immediately to our inquiry and was extremely knowledgable about our needs and the task at hand (removing and old mailbox post and installing a new one along with mounting our old mailbox on the new post. He did an excellent job, bring it in on time and on budget. I will use Brian again for work at our home and highly recommend him to all our friends.
Response from First State Home & Garden
