Frank had previously installed a banister and railing for us (which turned out great). We recently needed to have it further reinforced at the base for high pressure mounted baby gates. Immediately upon calling, Frank had his team come out the next morning and install reinforcement bolts to solidify the banister to the staircase. I was extremely pleased with the response time, professionalism, and quality of work (truly first class!). I would highly recommend First Class Home Renovations and will definitely be calling them for my future carpentry needs.

Frank was very responsive whenever I had a question. They got the work done in a quick amount of time and the ceiling and the new floor look great. He made sure to check with me about different options available. I would definitely recommend Frank and his team.
Description of Work: I need a new floor throughout the 1st floor (we put in luxury vinyl planks purchased separately) and needed new plywood put on the floor in the living room. Frank and his team had to frame down the kitchen ceiling to make it all one height and installed a new kitchen ceiling (dry wall) with 8 recessed lights installed. I had them raise the light and mirror in the bathroom and install a recessed fan light over the shower. I also had Frank and his team install 3 outlets in a bedroom. New baseboards were installed as well.

The job went extremely well even in spite of it being bigger and more complicated than we ever anticipated. Our 50-year-old house was poorly renovated before we bought it, and Frank and his his team did a great job dealing with all the issues that cropped up during the project, plus accommodating our many requests. He was extremely responsive to all of our issues and questions, the quality of work was excellent, and the pricing was a terrific value. We would definitely hire him again.

Both the owner of the the company as well as the workers were professional and proved willing to work with our complicated schedule. I had considered attempting to do this job myself to save money, but the level of quality they provided was worth paying the extra money. This company was not the cheapest in terms of estimates we got, but they seemed to be incredibly confident in their ability to do the job right. Other companies made a point to tell me it “may not turn out” how I wanted. First Class assured me they could do the job correctly, and this certainly turned out to be the case. I would highly recommend them for interior remodeling, including finishing basements in old row homes.
Description of Work: We wanted to refinish our basement properly. The basement was partially finished by the previous owners of our home but the work was not satisfactory. We also wanted to finish the floor with a nicer looking material instead of just concrete. The installed vinyl flooring and new baseboards to provide this more finished look. Additionally, we needed to have a gas dryer vent in a crawl space hooked up to vent outside. They also completed a few odd jobs in our kitchen and first floor installing baseboard and quarter round on a project I had started but never gotten the time to finish.

In summary the experience was fantastic. They were incredibly responsive during the entire process and had a fast turn around on every task. Their team was not only nice, but they were mindful and efficient - I got home from work on the first day to the entire space by my kitchen in plastic to protect my items, when they left every day they cleaned up after themselves, when they left at the end the cleaned the cabinets, floor, even my stainless steel appliances. Frank kept in close contact with me during the whole project and any questions I had were responded to within 15 minutes. At the end of the project I noticed that one of the team members forgot to patch and item and contacted Frank....the team member was at my door the next day to finish the task --- when I got my bathroom done using another contractor I had to BEG for months for the final items to be closed out. During the project Frank was helpful telling me what could be done vs. not in my budget and worked miracles to give me the most beautiful kitchen - I literally stand in it every day and stare at everything. Finally the final bill was almost exactly what we agreed to, there was a slight increase due to the addition of a pretty complex light fixture that we hadn't discussed previously - I surprised him with it about 3 days before the end of the project not realizing it was going to be quite as complex as it ended up being. Sure enough he scheduled his electrician to come out and fix it for me so that I could use it. I've heard a lot of bad stories about contractors from friends and family members and honestly can't speak highly enough of these guys.
Description of Work: I reached out to Frank at First Class Reno a couple of months ago while I was investigating getting my kitchen redone - I had a very specific budget and champagne dreams and was concerned that I was going to have to give up on my dream kitchen to meet the budget that I wanted. Traditionally I get wary using Angie's list for such a big task as finding a contractor to completely redo a kitchen, but I took a leap of faith based on the reviews on this site and I am so very happy that I did.

Frank and his team's work was excellent from start to finish. Frank's bid was quick, competitive, and highly transparent. And the final price for the job was exactly what he bid. The remodeling itself was stunning, and precisely as we discussed, with no surprises. His workers were also quite friendly and helpful in explaining some of the finer points of the job. Throughout the process, Frank fielded numerous texts and emails from me about the nature of the work, the timing, and the appropriate tile, fixtures, and so on. He was extremely courteous and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone taking on home remodeling work.
Description of Work: Needed a tile floor and fixtures installed in our bathroom.

I got three different quotes and met with three different contractors, and Frank was the most professional and knowledgeable. He seemed trustworthy from the start and delivered on all that was discussed in the initial consultation! The kitchen was completely gutted and Frank and his team did a phenomenal job. They paid attention to detail, were polite and professional, and communicated well throughout the projects! I felt safe with them working and coming and going from my home because I felt like they were genuine humans who treated it like their own home. As a single female, that was important to me! There was careful planning from the start, and Frank talked me through every step of the process. Everything seems to have been done very well.. after living/cooking in it for a month I have no issues. The kitchen turned out beautifully and I could not be more happy with the results! I plan to hire Frank and his team again for some other projects around the house. I would highly recommend him and really have nothing bad to say about my experience. I feel lucky to have found him on Angies List, because I really didn't know where else to look. I included a before and after pic below
Description of Work: I recently bought a house that needed a kitchen remodel as well as a few smaller projects. He rewired some outdated electrical in the basement, installed ceiling fans, added outlets for TVs, ran a new water line to relocate the washing machine, and remodeled my entire kitchen and installed a new window and back door within 2 months of me moving in.

Description of Work: We had a diverse list of work. Painting, new faucets and bath vanity, drywall repair and new ceiling lights. Instead of hiring 3 different contractors, Frank and his team were able to do it all!

Frank and his team did a great job with a bunch of minor items at my rental property. They replaced a bathroom faucet, redid some wiring in the dining room light, rehung a kitchen cabinet door and tightened a metal staircase railing. When they needed some extra parts Frank picked them up himself and kept in close communication the whole time so I could approve any expenses. I really appreciated being able to get all these jobs done through one company instead of running around.

First Class doesn't do the kind of work that I needed done (major structural work - replacement of exterior wall), but he called around for me to see if he could find someone else available to do it. He had no reason to do that (since I wouldn't be hiring him) but he did it anyway because of niceness! Thanks!!

Frank and his team did a great job sticking to the quote but being flexible when we requested additional work to be done while they were working, therefore adding onto the quote. Their work was done very well in an extremely timely manner, and Frank's communication skills were the best experience with a contractor that we have had to date. We will definitely be using First Class Home Renovations again!

I thank my lucky stars the day I had Frank and Craig take a look at the small shabby bathroom in my old house. Others had given me quotes to gut it and redo it for a small fortune, dismissing my concept to retain some of its features and work a new design I had in mind. Frank listened, offered practical solutions and a price I could afford. It was a challenging job, tight spaces, complicated roof exits, the works, but they persevered. Now it’s my favorite room in the house. I picked the tile for the floor & shower, the sink, light fixture & medicine cabinet. Frank & his crew did the installation. I highly recommend them. They really care about the result, kept me informed, and did what they said they would do. Thanks Rod

Some of the work was difficult due to all the irregularities in our old home (slopes in our floor, cabinets that were smaller than standard size, etc.). The contractors did a great job and had solutions for everything they came across. They don't cut any corners and genuinely care about the final product. On top of all that, they are good at getting everything done in a timely manner. I would definitely hire these people again.

I'm definitely satisfied with the result - the room looks a lot better than it did and just as good as I hoped. Frank communicated well and discussed our options. His crew managed to contain 99% of the mess (which is really great considering how much dust this kind of demo and drywall work creates) and cleaned up, so the rest of my home was virtually unaffected. His guys also talked to me about the process and asked me questions about some of the details, which I appreciated. The room looks great, the recessed lights he suggested are excellent, and the cost was reasonable for the type of work and our area.
Description of Work: We basically gutted a large bedroom in my 100-year-old row house. New walls with insulation, new ceiling, additional lighting, and a newly created closet with light and shelf.
