1st Rate General Construction, LLC

Started with a consultation. We were planning on a full blown kitchen remodel that would combine our dysfunctional kitchen and dining room and update an attached powder room. 1st Rate General Contracting put us in touch with all of the players in this project from cabinet, tile, lighting, heat, granite, backsplash and appliance suppliers etc... All offered huge selections and provided major discounts from MSRP. First major step with the physical remodel was demolition of all space to be remodeled, down to the studs. Removal of existing walls, cabinets, countertops, pantries, tile floors, etc... When they were done, only studs remained. The worksite was rustic, but clean and not a hint of refuse on my property. A coordinated effort between all sub-contractors, carpenters, tile, electric, plumbing etc., saw the living space transformed into a beautiful huge open concept kitchen and dining area that we are proud of. New electric service, heated floors, modern appliances, conversion to gas range and oven, outdoor venting, new exterior windows, and so much more. The attention to detail from all of 1st Rates employees and sub-contractors was exemplary and evident in the results of this project. I would not hesitate to call on 1st rate for any other projects and they are always first off my lips when recommending a general contractor to family or friends. We are happy customers.

Excellent work by professional guys. Very neat and thorough, Great clean up afterwards.

Joe Craparotta and his team at 1st Rate General Construction transformed our home from a flood-damaged shell into a polished refuge where my husband and I can be at ease. From our first contact, when Joe mobilized his team for a quick initial response, 1st Rate repeatedly went out of the way to achieve our vision of a remediated and upgraded home. The team has endured long commutes, odd schedules, and finicky requests with grace and precision. We appreciate that Joe personally listened to our general ideas, helped us refine them, then flexibly worked with us to completion in several stages that fit our time table and financial budget. And during the work, we felt 100% comfortable having the team on-site - whether or not we were home. 1st Rate General Construction was pleasure to interact with - and we have invited them back for several follow-up projects at our residence and at a separate rental property.
