We came across 1st Rate Construction in San Antonio's Home Mag; we are extremely happy that we chose them to complete our kitchen remodel. We wish we could post some pictures here in regards to their outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. The final finishes were spectacular, even Luke (the owner) was blow away at the results! A small critique would be the timeliness of our assigned craftsman was occasionally late or got reassigned without notice to us as the customer; resulting in a day delay in the project. Other than that 1st Rate Construction makes up for it in the quality of work they perform. We will hire them again for our next project!

A couple of gliches. However, 1st Rate worked through the problems and delivered a finished product to our satisfaction.

I hired Luke to drywall, paint & texture a 2 ft x 4 ft section of my ceiling where a fluorescent light had been. He was recommended to me by the electrician who installed my recessed lighting. Even though it was a small job, he and Tyrone did a very professional job. They cleaned up after they were done and made sure I was happy with the results. After the paint and texture dried, I can hardly tell where the old light was. It looks great! I would recommend this company to anyone.

Luke did a great job in framing garage door opening for a new door. I was changing from 2 doors to 1 door and needed old doors removed, brick post removed, new 18 foot header installed, and wall finished out. It took 2 days, as promised. We are very happy with the work and would highly recommend this company to others.

1st rate came out the same day I logged on and from the start was impressed. Richard came out and immediately eccessed the project. Later that day he emailed me a proposal. I always get two more quotes on projects so I waited for the others to call. No call or show from the second contractor. And third contractor was a little cocky. It was a go with these guys. Luke the project coordinator conducted himself very professional and was so meticulous when it came down to attention to detail. My countertops was very reasonable and craftsmanship was grade a. Luke and his crew will beautify kitchens

They say remodels are stressful,but working with luke and his crew was pure pleasure. My master bathroom was dull and boring.For so long there was a lot to tear out and rebuild. They rebuilt it better then ever and brought everything up to code.They're meticulous and efficient and take care to make it look good too.Keeping the house clean while they worked,answering all my questions,going over all the options,it's a real full service experience.   Special shout out to luke for his hard work,quality and professionalism. I love my new bathroom.!!! Thanks to first rate construction. :)

Initially I was told the project would take 3 days. From start to finish it took 6 weeks. There is a disconnect between the sales department and the contractors who actually complete the work. Several times during the project, I had to stop the work and request it was redone to my satisfaction. The entire purpose of this project was to resolve a leak in my shower, the leak was still there upon. This was quickly resolved from a short follow up visit. They are not very reliable when it comes to showing up on time to scheduled appointments.

Beware! I hired this company to install hardwood floors for 5 rooms and small hallway, I had to watch them along the way and had to request over and over again for the "wood to align" with the baseboard without any gaps. You would think the name "1st Rate" this should be expected! I had to do the caulking myself that's how I was able to see where the baseboard and flooring had gaps!! Staff was professional for the most part and stated they will guarantee the work for up to a yr. Try getting "Louis" the owner on the phone....He still has not returned my phone call even after a week of leaving a voicemail, and better yet did not come back to my home to see the finished work! More like 4th rate work to me! Again BEWARE the quality of 1st rate is just not there folks!!!!! ****They did come back out and touch up the repairs that I had a dispute about. They made an attempt to make things right.

Quick to submit estimate for projects on my list. Final charges were what he projected. Luke and his crew were very polite and very talented in their chosen fields. Excellent work. Will call on Luke and his team for any future repair needs.

Thanks to Luke, and his men who were professional and efficient, I have a beautiful bathtub surround. The men were available within days to start the work. Luke did more than other contractors would have done to make sure the job looks pristine. He showed and explained to me what are the right / best materials to buy. Why not 5 stars rating? Cause there's always room to improve. :) I've already told all my friends whom to contact for their tile projects.
