They were later to start, the install was messy and not professional at all. The exhaust fan part that goes through the roof, wasn't sealed therefore my insulation in the attic is drench. I have a mildew smell that will develop in fungus which isn't healthy. The electrical switch for the exhaust fan sounds like it is shorting out and now spark that could cause a fire. Since October 2018 until today, no one have return my calls and Gilbert will send a text stating he is in a meeting. These are all delay tactics for the warranty to expire and it has. I called the City of Houston to see when an inspector can come out to check if work is up to code. What is really scary, this company did not pull a permit which required.

Response from 1st Capital Contractors
This project was started in January 2018 and completed in February 2018. This project was carried out thru [Member Name Removed] a non-profit organization that provides Weatherization Services at no cost to the client. This program has procedures and inspections that were followed and satisfied. We provide a 1 year workmanship warranty from the date of substantial completion of the work which would have been in February 2018. The warranty was exhausted in February 2019. In response to Ms. [Member Name Removed]'s call, As a courtesy, we returned to the home on May 31, 2019 to inspect the items of concern. We thoroughly inspected the roof and attic and found no evidence of a roof leak. We also inspected the exhaust fan timer and explained to the client that the sound she was concerned about is the sound of the switch timer and that it was working as designed. We offered to replace the switch to a standard on demand switch, but Ms. [Member Name Removed] declined and decided to keep the current switch. We feel that we have gone beyond what is expected from our agreement and have closed out the service request.

Jesse's crew removed old tile countertops and backsplash in master bath including shower and whirlpool tub surround, raised sink level on second sink and replaced with our granite choice and backsplash tile. Also replaced countertops/backsplash in upstairs guest bath with granite and tile inserts. Amazing transformation and excellent carpentry skills. Very satisfied with the end results. .

.Jesse came to our house to appraise the job and give us an estimate. He was careful to explain what we needed and how they would do the job. My wife and I felt comfortable with Jesse's assessment. We agreed to hire 1st. Capitol and we were amazed at the transformation of our living room. The workers arrived on time and were professional and were prepared with tools and supplies to do the job. They were careful to protect our newly refinished wood flooring, which was a concern for us. We intend to use them again. The only downside is they need to have an English speaking person on site at all times. Most times there was one on the job, but at times he had to leave for something. Overall, money well spent.
Couldn't have gone better! 1st Capital Contractors is just the best remodeling company you can find! They are professional, courteous, and the workmanship quality and final product are EXCELLENT. We had a 20 ft. garage extension built on to our existing 32 ft. garage which set on a 84 ft. driveway. Jesse's crews had to remove 20 ft. of our current driveway, put in a new foundation to support the structure and then build the garage to our specifications. This involved construction from ground zero but tied in to our current garage. They matched the roof, brick, hardiplank siding, painting, etc. to perfection. We also had a deep sink put in the new area, an enclosed tote area storage, shelving and additional storage/work area in the old garage area. This involved moving a 2 car garage door, building two brick side areas that matched our current brick, Everything from the new foundation, the shelving, plumbing that had to be installed from the street to the access point 80 ft. away, moving current electrical areas, installing new electrical wiring to replace some that was giving us problems, new roofing and tying into the old garage roof and the breezeway that led to our backdoor, installing numerous interior doors for the storage area, moving garage door opener, and basically everything that would be involved with a new garage build was completed to our complete satisfaction! They truly could not have done a better job! Some of our neighbors came by to look at the finished project, marveled at how it looked like it had always been there on our 11 yr. old house, and two of them even hired 1st Capital Contractors to do work on their homes. One got a beautiful bathroom remodel and the other had her entire 3400 sq. ft. home painted. They are also very pleased with 1st Capital Contractors. The owner, Jesse, is very professional, and he isn't satisfied until u are completely satisfied. Pricing is very reasonable and quality of work cannot be beat! We have used them numerous times for home remodeling projects and plan to use them many more times in the future!! A++++++++++++++ COMPANY!!!

The Overall work don was very professional. The gentleman over the job came out and checked my house over. He said he would send his workers over within two days, and he did. They pulled up, got out of their trucks and started unloading. They started taking boards and jacks out of the trucks, went under the house and immediately started working. A day and a half work day turned out to be a one day job. The workers were very professional. the supervisor came out that morning and again just as the workers were finishing up. I would gladly recommend them to someone else or use them myself if f necessary, When the job was finished they cleaned up my yard very good.

Once again, 1st Capital Contractors performed EXCELLENT work. About a year ago, Jesse's crew did some remodeling for us. In June, our son bought a new home and wanted a stone wall (synthetic stone - AirStone) and some glass ceramic tile installed on two walls - bathroom and formal dining room arched niche. The job was done in a very timely fashion for a very reasonable cost, and the finished product was OUTSTANDING!!! My son and his fiance were very pleased with the finished project. For any time of home repair or remodeling job, 1st capital Contractors is the ONE to choose!!!!
Description of Work: In June, our son bought a new home and wanted a stone wall (synthetic stone called Air Stone) and some glass ceramic tile installed on two walls - bathroom and formal dining room arched niche. The arched niche wall was particularly tricky to install, but Jesse's crew had the job done in no time and it was so professional looking. They also installed some glass ceramic tile in the powder bathroom, which required going around a mirror and sink as well as wrapping around a corner of the wall. The job came out superb and couldn't have been any better.

He has also worked in my mother's house and has done different jobs for us. They are very reasonably priced, courteous and do quality work. They always show up and all the people who work for him are very courteous and professional. I have recommended them to a lot of people and they have done work for a lot of my clients also. I have no complaints and will continue to use them in future.
Description of Work: I used the services of 1st Capital Contractors to refinish the front door, painted the back door and they have also done a garage conversion about 3 months ago.

EXCELLENT! Couldn't have been better! A++++++++++++++
Description of Work: 1ST Capital Contractors is an EXCELLENT remodeling company. They took two of our 4 bedrooms and made it one big master suite for our daughter. This involved removing a closet, taking down one door, making two others with a private access to the bathroom and even adding an exterior door. Pipes had to be moved, walls torn down, walls built, ceiling where the closet was had to be re-textured to match the existing ceiling, carpet laid where the removed walls had been, the entire room was painted, and EVERYTHING came out perfect! Jesse's crew was professional, considerate of us, and took every precaution to protect the carpet. On top of that, they even finished an ENTIRE week ahead of schedule!!!! Best remodeling job ever. In fact, we were SO pleased, the next month we hired them to remodel our master shower and build a butler's pantry. Both of those jobs were also completed in an excellent manner! Couldn't say enough about how good this company is! We even recommended them to our best friends for a flooring job!

I have been talking to them and haven't done anything yet. Roofing was part of the couple of things I have been talking to them about. I have talked to other companies and their price is better than some of the others. It is little bit lower than some of the contractors. That's been the main thing so far. I'm looking at their agreement and I'm trying to get that nail down. The price is good. The owner is personable. I haven't seen any of their work yet. I have not got any references yet though I have asked about it.
Description of Work: 1st Capital Contractors gave us estimates more of repairs works, new HVAC, roofing and some kitchen repairs. The estimate was given about six weeks ago.

I was very happy with the service I received from them. We were never able to complete the project because the insurance never went through. The repairs were never done. They followed up and kept following up. They even talked to the adjuster. They offered everything they could do to help. They went above and beyond what I expected. I was extremely happy with them.
