Luke & his crew did a great job. They did a remodel of our kitchen to give us more space. They installed new custom-made cabinets, granite countertops, a travertine backsplash, & a new sink. They also had to add tile flooring for the new addition; electrical work was also involved. They were professional, efficient & were a great bunch of guys to work with. We were promised a new, modern kitchen & they definitely delivered on their promises. Would definitely hire them in future.

I received three estimates to repair a water damaged patio column and subsequent soffit and header replacement. 1st Rate was the most timely and reasonable estimate but most importantly I was sold on using 1st Rate because of Luke C, the owner. He was knowledgeable, down to earth, and honest. He sent one of his team, Mariano and his brother, to do the work. He came on time, went directly to work, asked for clarification along the way, and cleaned up after each day of work. I could not have asked for a better experience. The job took three days which was less then estimated. So he finished ahead of time and did 5 star work. I was so happy that when Luke came by to check the work and close out the project I asked him to help me on a future bathroom remodel. I highly recommend Luke and 1st Rate Construction

Working with 1st Rate Construction has been a breath of fresh air. Every contractor arrived when they said they would, and if there was any problem, Luke the project supervisor would advise me well in advance. For anyone that has had work done, this is a huge thing. This is probably the most professional group I have worked with, and the workmanship has been breathtaking.

This company did an outstanding job. They installed vinyl flooring throughout our entire home. Our house is a 20 year old pier and beam which required some work before the flooring could be laid. They had to level the house (which had been done by another company the previous year but had not been leveled properly). They also had to put new plywood over the original base flooring which was under the livingroom carpet when the carpet was removed. A couple of days after the project was completed, some of the flooring in the livingroom was starting to buckle because of the original bad base flooring. Luke assured me that this problem would be fixed and I'm happy to report that it was. Our floors are beautiful and make our older home look great! I will be using this company for my future projects and recommend them to anyone with a project that needs to be done.

Luke and his team did an amazing job on my house! They were able to redo all of the floors, remove wallpaper, texture and paint all of the walls, and handle all of the little issues that arose with a project so large. Their professionalism and confidence made me feel at ease! I am beyond satisfied with the completed project and will definitely be using them again for all of my future needs.

I'm very satisfied with my new countertops and work done by 1st Rate Construction. Once all the supplies came in the work was done quickly. I would recommend them and use them again whenever I have another large project.

Very unprofessional! The salesman quoted us a price that included everything. When the Owner arrived he said "That is not included" and tried to charge more. He and the salesman were not communicating and we were the people that it hurt. So after the 4 week wait for contact the price went up a first time. We agreed to a partial increase of the original price. Now the work begins and they do not cover the cast iron bathtub before tearing out the tile. The bathtub is now scratched so we have to refinish it. The work was done in 4 days for the first shower surround and looked ok. Atwo weeks later they. One back to do the second and the workers in our house were cussing loudly about the owner and about how bad he was with my wife trying to work in the house. I was not happy to hear that! They finished the second bathroom in three days. At this point we just want them to finish and leave. When they finish the owner comes to collect the final check. He tries to add more money to the bill saying now that more of the project wasn't included. We refused so he basically said we were trying to cheat him. He told me over the phone"if you can sleep at night after this then go ahead". This was the most unprofessional "pro" I have ever dealt with!! After arguing with my wife he left only to let himself back in to argue some more. I will never use them again and would not recommend this company to anyone for anything!

I would recommend this company. We needed the tile done in the master bathroom and my husband has been working long hours at his day job and I thought it would help him a lot so we talked about it on Monday night and found 1st Rate Construction LLC on HomeAdvisor site. I was contacted by James that evening and he came by the next afternoon. I needed to job done that week. James explained everything to me and he gave me a quote over the phone the night before and stuck with the quote and the job could be done as requested. They came out the agreed upon date and were great from the word go. They did in wonderful job. They paid attention to detail. Everyone was so professional. We even got a call back after the job was done to check to may sure we both were happy with the job. If we were to hire someone else for any job needed we would call 1st Rate Construction LLC first and let my friends and family who to call for any projects that needs to be done. Thanks guys it looks Greatl!

I would HIGHLY recommend this company. We needed our living room floor concrete stained. We set up an appointment with Luke he was there on time and was SO nice and professional. He explained everything to us and had a quote sent over in less than 24 hours. They came out the agreed upon date and were great from the word go. Sammy and Joey were awesome. They did a VERY good job and paid attention to detail. Luke made sure to let us know they focus on the details and he was not lying. We will never hire anyone else to do anything Luke and the guys can do. We are beyond happy to have found a reliable company to get projects done around our house. Thanks guys it looks GREAT!

This company is professional from start to finish. Very reasonable pricing. They have their craft down! Very informative through the whole process, and much attention to detail. We had them stain our concrete floors, and this can be a very daunting task if your contractor does not know what they are doing, this came out looking PERFECT. We will ONLY be using 1st Rate Construction for all of our home remodeling needs. We went through many other so called "companies" before finding Luke at 1st Rate Construction, and we wish we would have found this company sooner.

Everyone at 1st Rate Construction was so kind and professional. Richard spent an hour with me to make sure he had all the info to give me an accurate quote. After bidding the project out, I found that their pricing was the most reasonable. Once we picked our granite slab, the process went quickly. A formal measurement of the counters on Monday, and the countertops and backsplash were installed the following week on Thursday and Friday. They draped the furniture in plastic, cleaned up as they went along, and we're very efficient. Luke was very communicative leading up to and during the work and the crews who did the work were great! The quality of the work was excellent and they even fixed a few other things while they were here. The work was done in 2 days and we couldn't be happier!
