They fixed a portion of shingle that had come off my roof. Showed up immediately and did the job perfectly. Very reasonable. I need a new roof but never did they pressure me. They fixed what I asked them to fix

They were very good, nice & left everything clean. Only reason they didn't get a full 5 stars was because they didn't show up on the day we agreed. They ended up coming few days later. He said it was a miscommunication. But when they did come, I was happy with the work & professionalism

Hired them to clean our chimney. They called & showed up promptly. Vinny & Tim were very friendly & professional & knowledgeable! They assessed the job and made suggestion on what else they recommend to be done. I appreciate that because we live in an older home. Very happy with the entire experience and would hire them again! .

I had to get the job done quickly and First Rate worked with me to get the job done in a timely fashion and very professional. A true relief to find responsible contractors, considering all the nightmare contractors that are out there.

I hired First Rate to clean my fireplace. Tim was very courteous and honest. He showed up on time, and were very clean. He took the time to explain how it works (my first house) and gave me tips on other projects that I can do in the home. I definitely recommend them ,and will rehire them for future projects.

Tim was very upfront with what needed to be done and what it would cost. I hired him he showed up on time, finish the work and cleanup after. Great contractor! Would definately use him again.

I received a call from First Rate 1 Construction within 5 minutes of posting the roof job. They met me at my home the same day, while it was raining. I showed them the leak and they went on the roof, came back to quote a price and said they could start the next day. After I agreed, they said they could do something temporary. They went back on the roof with tools (it was still raining) and put in a temp fix that immediately stopped the leak. They came back the next day, tore the section of roof down, replaced the ply wood, flashing and shingles, then cleaned up. It's like they were never there. Perfect contractor experience.

We had an emergency leak that needed repair but since we knew we needed to have the roof replaced anyway we decided to do the whole job. First Rate came out, gave us a reasonable estimate (we already had a few) and got the roof (including the garage) done within days. They were very professional, took care in protecting the gardens and yard and cleaned up after themselves. They did a great job.

I'm very satisfied with the work that has been done! I needed a complex repair job for three chimneys, on the house that I just purchased. That included including cleaning, installation of a liner with connection of furnace and water heater, three new stainless steel caps, repair of several loose bricks on the main fireplace. Vinnie came in time for the estimate, provided me with some good options and we agreed on a good price. His team showed up on time and completed the work in a clean and efficient way. I would definitely recommend First Rate 1 Construction to anyone who needs an honest and skilled professional.

Since it's a chimney, how would I actually know whether the job was done properly? I can only assume it was. The man showed up when he said he would. He properly estimated the amount of time it would take. He was courteous. He gave me information during the process concerning the condition of the fireplace and the chimney. I plan to have him return next year for this job.

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.

well organized to do the work quickly-clean work area-just waiting for the inspector-did not say that much more work on three chimneys was needed as did the other contractor-lined furnace chimney and minor repair's to the two wood-burning fireplace chimneys
