The work was done on time..stayed on budget..and have no complaints.
Description of Work: First he was responsive to calls and showed up when he said he would and gave me 2 estimates, One for the roof in which he matched an estimate from Home Depot, and also for installing and trimming 6 double hung windows (Harvey) and a large custom picture window. He sent 2 guys to do the work and they were very professional and quick..did some work on a Sunday to complete it. We did not use them for the roof simply because we took advantage of a 2 year no interest financing from Home Depot to have the roof done.

Entire process went well. Initial scoping and outline of services was prompt and fair. Even with winter weather Rich and his team stayed in contact to find a time to get the work complete. The work itself was clean, quick and looks great.

They do good quality work. In old houses where there are always surprises, they were able to work around things and come up solutions for things. Their subcontractors were quality people. After, I’m having them back for my bedroom and bathroom. Their work came out beautifully. They came when they said they were coming unless there’s a specific reason. They worked all day. I will use them again.
Description of Work: I used 1st Choice Home Improvements. They totally renovated my kitchen, put in insulation and a door and refinished floors.

They were completely professional, working in a timely fashion and cleaning up after themselves. They put a customized mail slot in the bottom of one of the storm doors. Replaced my door bell and made sure that everything met with my satisfaction.

They also hung two wooden doors within the house and replaced the front and rear storm doors. they did an excellent job and responded in a positive manner to my picky details. I am very pleased!

They were very responsive and on time. They were professional when they came for the estimate and answered all my questions and offered suggestions. We decided to go a different route and do more of the work ourselves. We probably would have hired them had we decided to stick with our original plan.

They were very nice and good enough. The two gentlemen that came out were nice. They got the quote to us pretty quickly; we had it the next week. The quote was $38000. They were fine. I didn’t get any other quotes, so I don’t know if they were high or not. We are still in the process of working on it. We might use them in the future; we haven't ruled it out yet. We haven't made a decision yet.

I contacted a few different placed to install a slider in my basement and to come up with a great solution for a screen on my French doors off my kitchen. 1st Choice was great at getting back to me, coming out, listening to what I wanted, and recommending and ordering what I needed! It took about 4-6 weeks for the door to come in (custom made) but besides the time (which isn't their fault) everything went great!

When we called we were told that the worker would be here at the end of the day around 5:30. 2 very efficient workers arrived at 3:30, removed all broken glass, Put a temporary barrier up, cleaned up, and were done by 5 PM. We were given options for replacement windows. To stick with our current brand was a custom order that would take a couple weeks to get in. This was not practical. We were told we could have a new window in in 3 days. The very next day, their worker showed up with the new replacement window and had it installed in a very short period of time. He was very professional, cleaned his shoes every time he went in and out of the house, and left the area cleaner than when he came. Also, our front porch steps had broken free from the porch. We had previously gotten a quote of around $150 from another contractor to fix this. The gentleman from 1st choice noticed the problem and fixed it with spare parts in 10 minutes free of charge. We had used 1st choice previously for a number of windows and slider and had the owners work on that project with great results. This is why we called them before other companies who are closer to our home. They are quick, responsive, and professional. They aren't the lowest priced, but they are very competitive and knowledgeable. Some contractors deal with 1 brand. These guys offer many options and great service.
Description of Work: Our window broke when it was 15 degrees out. They came out that day and put in a temporary fix. And came back the next day with a custom fit window.

I was contacted by Paul the same day I called and left a message asking for an estimate on the described work. An appointment was made within a few days. He was prompt, professional and very easy to do business with. I received the estimate two days later and we agreed on a price which seemed very fair based on other estimates I'd received. Paul had given me a time frame of approximately one month for the door to be received and then be installed approximately one week after that. I was more than pleased when only two weeks later the door had arrived and an install date agreed upon. I had mentioned to Paul the first time we met about some damage to our vinyl siding but noted that we had not yet had it repaired. The day he delivered the door he took a look at the siding and said they could take care of that the same day they installed the door. This entailed replacing about 10 pieces of siding on the front and side of the house and installing a new trim piece at the roof line. We agreed on the price of $200. They work crew arrived on time, were friendly, prompt and professional. I felt completely at ease with them in the house. They took care to protect our belongings from dust and damage and did a wonderful job cleaning up after themselves.
Description of Work: They replaced a sliding glass door and repaired vinyl siding that had been damaged by a fallen tree.

Description of Work: We need an emergency install from another contractor bailing on us at the last minute. We called first choice and explained what happened. Even though they couldn't take on the job because they are booked solid, they still took the time to call us back and gave us other leads to call. Thank you very much for helping us out. We would use you for future jobs and we will call the leads you gave us. Thanks again, Cheryl

The owner (Paul?) was very professional and very nice. He gave me references and everyone had great things to say so I hired him even though he was the highest bid. Paul's carpenter was local (Weymouth) and his attitude is the reason that I didn't give Paul a higher score. The carpenter would ask for my design input and then do his own thing. He also would not show up until around 8:30 am and would leave by 3:30 pm even when there was only about an hour's worth of work left on the project. The carpenter also reused a piece of plywood that he had messed up on as a finished door on the new laundry enclosure so that when you opened the door you saw hinge holes where there shouldn't have been any. I expected more based on the money I paid so I probably would not use them again - too expensive....
Description of Work: put a 5 foot opening in a wall between kitchen and living room, removed old laundry closet in kitchen and built new enclosure for small washer and dryer, removed old stove, put in new dryer vent

Very professional, punctual and competively priced. Paul really tried to accomodate my schedule as I was moving and needed the floors done before my move-in date. The flooring was installed in one day and they did a great job. I would defintely use 1st choice again (if priced reasonably). Although the price for this job was ok I thought their estimate to finish my basement was too high. It was double of a couple of other estimates. It's too bad cause I really would like to use them to finish my basement.
Description of Work: Installed approximately 900sq ft of laminate flooring.
