Very well. They provided me with a free estimate. They were honest and upfront about the issues.

The whole experience from quote to completion went so smoothly. I have to commend all teams that came for their professionalism and courtesy throughout. The mitigation team consisted of Roberto, Ramon and Manuel. They were great. The ceiling restoration team of Adan, Raul and Sebastian were so diligent and did wonderful quality work. A big thanks to all of them. I would highly recommend 1st Choice.

When I was getting a new deck installed and had an old deck removed, rotten wood was discovered in the wall. 1st Choice removed the entire wall of my home below the deck and replaced it with new framing, insulation, vapor barrier and siding. They did great work. While there were some minor issues I was not happy with, they came back at no extra charge and redid some of the work exactly how I wanted it. I would recommend 1st choice and their partners to anyone doing a similar repair. Their price was fair, right in the middle of estimates I received, and they had all of the required licenses and insurance I required.

Ana and her crew including, Julian and Maria did all the packing up and later returning of our furniture and personal items during the rehab process. They were prompt, very professional and worked very hard. I again used 1st Choice for the Deep Cleaning after all of the rehab work was completed. Liz, Julian and Maria did a great job completing all the work I requested. They were prompt, very thorough and we were extremely pleased with their work and would use them again.

This company charged me almost $1,000 for use of their fans for one extra day. I was never advised that the charge would be so great. Then, I had to make several phone calls just to get an invoice for the extra use of the fans. And, when I sent a check, I received phone calls saying that my check was not received.

Mrs. [Member Name Removed], once AGAIN We thank you for taking the time to review 1st Choice Solutions. At 1st Choice Solutions, customer satisfaction is what we strive for every day. We are very sorry to hear that your experience was unpleasant, and your satisfaction was not met. We understand how overwhelming water damage losses can be and how our response to your emergency calls is important. When we received your initial call in May, our crews were dispatched to your property and performed mitigation services professionally and efficiently. A price was agreed on and paid. Now, when water loss hit your property a second time, you requested that no mitigation crew would be dispatched but instead asked to rent equipment. When we noticed how surprised you were at the price of the rental, we went ahead and gave you a discount because we understand how overwhelming these losses can be. Once again, a price was agreed to in person, over the phone and by e-mail. As soon as equipment was no longer needed, we picked up and sent you an invoice to the email address that you provided. This invoice was also mailed out. Regarding the invoice, it was sent multiple times via email, to which there was no response until July when you stated that payment had already been mailed out. Truthfully, we never received payment via mail, which is when our office manager suggested that one of our employees would be dispatched to pick up the payment. We never received a response from you; therefore, no employee was dispatched to pick up this payment. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] clearly there have been many misunderstandings and we will gladly work with you to get this paid and closed out. As you may have noted, the invoice was not at $1,000.00 but late fees have accrued. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may be to you, we understand that these services may be something you cannot afford at the time but we hope you understand that as a business we must do all that we can to, one, keep our customers satisfied and two, continue to grow as a business.

Excellent. Good communicators and were fast in responding. Very professional. Worked quickly and kept me abreast on what they were doing. My only issue was that they didn't get back to me with the cost of replacing the floor which was a separate service on itself.
