First Rate did a chimney liner for me as well as repair the stack. When you talk to Vinnie you are in good hands. He pulled the permits, was incredibly patient, communicative, and walked me through every part of the process.They were quick clean and efficient. I went up to look at the stack and it was beautiful, they did a wonderful job. A lot of times you feel nervous about getting work done, but I've never felt so comfortable with a contractor. I highly recommend.

Great service. Discussed all options for replacing 100 year old roof without pressuring me to choose one option over the other. Repaired another section that had been badly leaking. It was fixed correctly the first time. Very easy to work with. Will definitely use this company for future projects.

When I called and had the chimney inspected, I was informed that I had needed a liner put in. The work was done very quickly. After completion of the job I have not gotten a copy of the signed contract. My printer at home was not working so we could not get it that day. I have been requesting a copy all of this week. Also, he waited until after the job was done to tell me I needed more work done.

50 year old chimney needed to be extended, a liner installed and gas furnace and water heater vent hook up. Work was completed neatly and quickly.

First Rate 1 Construction did an excellent job in matching the color of existing mortar when repairing stonework on the interior and exterior of my house, as well as a loose step (concrete slab) that I discovered after their estimate). They were prompt, polite, professional and friendly - and their charge was excellent.

These guys quote me way less than the previous contractors. I do not know the quality of their work, I only got an inspection done but their quote was very reasonable compared to the other guys. Customer service was great as well.

Initially wasn't happy with the job (some cracks in cement) but they came back the next day and redid the job. I give them an A for responsiveness - they called on Saturday and the job was done on Thursday.

With roof repair it's hard to tell right away if the repair is going to last, but in all other respects these guys were great to work with and instilled confidence. They responded quickly, got the work done, price was competitive, were nice and friendly. Couldn't ask for more.

Time will tell if the repair holds up. We have not had much rain, but if it does hold up and the work is as good as it looks on the surface, then it was well worth it. The best part of using Home Advisor was the quick and thorough response. We were called within seconds of making the request and the repair was done the very next day.
