FIRST & SELECT DESIGNS

Job started as promised. At end of each day the job site was clean and usable. Courteous employees that take care of your belongings and property during the work process. This is the fourth project I have had First and Select complete at my residence. Time proven history and very satisfied with the service.

Our deck came out beautifully. They were great. they showed up at 7 am, did the work and cleaned up after themselves. This is like the fourth thing that we had them do. They built my office, they built my cabinet for me and they did may stair well. For remodeling, they' would be the only people I would use. They are wonderful. They will call you ahead of time saying what time they will be there. Usually they are sitting in the yard before that time. The only thing that probably held them back was the weather, it rained. They said as soon as the weather dries up, they are going to be back and they were. They finished the deck and I have to say that I didn't know exactly how it is going to turn out but it turned out the best that I expected.

The work was performed on time and and in a professional manner. The workers cleaned up after themselves every day and always arrive on time for any schedule work. We are very pleased with the work performed to this day. We are planning to give them a call for future remodeling we are now planning.

We discovered a rotting beam on the old house we purchased. After calling the company and arranging for an inspection and quote the representative came as promised. He was professional, pleasant and informative regarding serveral areas for potential work including the porch. Quote was sent promptly. There were several changes in the promised date of work but that was not a problem. The crew came as scheduled and finished the work in one day. The workers were a pleasure to deal with and performed the task in a professional fashion. Nicely done. Cleaned up completely when finished.

This was a while back. They were so phenomenal that we had to give them kudos. We moved into our house nine years ago and we probably used them in the first year that we moved in. We had a home office and we needed one done very quickly. We got three bids. They were not the lowest but were in the middle. We have had construction people at my house before. They showed up when they said that they were going to. They called us the day before. They cleaned up after themselves. They closed in a room for us and put plasters. If we ever have any additional work to be done they are the people that we would call. They were very professional. After they did such a good job with our office we had them build a specialized cabinet for our den. We had carpet on our staircase and we had them replace it with hardwood floor. They were fabulous. It cost $6500 for adding our office and my husband did all the electrical work as he was an electrician. We had a huge space underneath our staircase which was empty and they built a specialized custom cabinet that cost $2000. We don't remember as to what the stairs cost because we bought some of the supplies and we don't remember as to what that was. He had a carpenter that came in and did the stairs. Our stairs were at very strange angles. A lot of people would not even tackle it and they were giving us prices to do the stairs that were way up there. Most of them did not want to do it. He did it and we were very impressed. They came in and did it. They even stained it and everything. It probably took them a week as they specialized each one of the boards to fit on the stairs and we were very impressed with that. They were punctual. They were very neat. We were comfortable with the people that they sent over here. You would always want to be comfortable with the people that would be sent over when you have people working in your house. The secretary would call us in the afternoon and tell us the name of the people that would come over, what they would do and when they would come over. They would be there around that time to do whatever they were supposed to do. The work was very professional. We have worked with people in the construction business before and we had very bad results. We could hardly end up doing the stairs. We had a flooring person doing our stairs. The person that was working on our office pulled me aside and told me that he did not know as to what he was doing. He told me that it was not the way to do that. My husband got home and I said that to him. He looked at it as he had worked in construction many years ago and said that it was a terrible job. They did not tell that to me in front of that person but pulled me to the side and said it. We ended up hiring them after we realized that the other person did not know as to what he was doing. We ended up calling them in. We have had bad experiences. So, we were very impressed about how they came in and finished the job. We received three bids. They were neither the lowest nor the highest but we were very comfortable with the bid that they gave us at the time. If we had known how well the work that they would do then it was good. You would be wondering if it would be somebody that would take three months to do a small project but they came in and knocked it out. The construction people usually never come when they say that they are going to. We don't know if they over book themselves or what it is. They would say that they would be there on Monday but they don't show up. You end up calling them and leaving messages. You would hear back from them on Tuesday that they would be there on Thursday and would show up in the middle of the day on Thursday. They would have your floor torn out and you would not know when they were coming back. These people would be here first thing in the morning. The people that did the drywall showed up at 07:00. It was a father and two sons. They came in and did the drywall. They had to let it dry before they put another coat. They came back the next morning at 07:00 or 07:30 and put the second coat on. We knew that they were coming as their office would let us know. They came out on three mornings between 07:00 and 07:30 and finished it. They were in and out of here in thirty minutes. We would absolutely use them again in the future without any doubt. If we have any other projects then they will be the first people that we would call.
