Shay came out on the same day as scheduled, though not the time arranged. He thought he could fix our issue with a few small adjustments and some roof cleaning. For less than two hours of work, he wanted to charge $8500, and was verbally aggressive towards my wife when she pointed out that we had not authorized that amount. When the work did not do anything to fix our problem, Shay claimed they could do even more work for a small cost because most of the work was already done. This did not match at all the proper fix another company did, so we declined.

Chepe and the crew were great. Hardest working guys Iâ ve met in a long time. Very responsive to everything (email, text or call). Fixed three leaks, replaced fireplace flashing, replaced vents, cleaned roof and repaired and even did our gutters. Would recommend.

1st Choice Home Construction is incompetent , unprofessional , pure disaster. Shay gets very angry but lacks competency , ability to finish the jobs. this company installed new roof. took a lot of time before installing the roof. that company accidentally ordered more glass than needed with our money. one patch on roof is still not fixed. I have to hire some one to fix it all over again. the owner shay is so loud and i will avoid to talk to him ever in my life. Also shay left to fix one part of the roof. incompetent , disaster company .

1st Choice Construction was very patient in listening to my concerns about the roof and assured me that my leaky roof can be fixed to last for the remainder of its expected lifetime, given that my roof is only 11.5 years old. !st Choice Construction backed it up with a warranty on their work! Shay performed a thorough assessment from both the outside on the roof and inside the attic. He was the only one to actively stop the leak that served as a temporary fix until the permanent repairs are to be done. Also, I am very pleased with the estimate. I will definitely recommend this company to my neighbors, who will likely have the same problem as me, since our homes were built by the same home building company.

Crew and owner were very. Ice and professional to work with. After hiring the wait was about 4 weeks and once they started it took about 4 consecutive days to finish the roof project. I am very happy with the work they did. I would gladly hire them again for any external housing work needed.

They are an illegal company, they do not have license to perform a job in the state of Washington. They took unauthorized funds from my bank account.

Great experience. We had a leaking roof and put out inquiries to several companies. Joe at 1st Choice was the first to connect with me and made an appointment for the next day. Joe showed us where the problems were and what needed to be done immediately to fix the leak, and what could be addressed later. He had his crew out the following day for the repair. Excellent response time and communication, and really great work. Very pleased.

They were awesome. My furnace vent was damaged in a recent windstorm. Joe came out a day or two later and did the assessment. A week later one of their repairmen showed up and installed a new vent. Thanks to all the rain I have a small leak in our bedroom and will be calling them soon. I know they’ll get the job done right.

Had damage to the flu vent on the roof from the windstorm. Joe came out a few days later, sent us a quote a couple days after that and the repairman came out the following week. We have a small leak in the closet that's going to need attention and I know who we will be caling first.

1st Choice Home Construction really came through for me. I had a shoddy roof repair from a shady company whose office number was now disconnected. Worse, it was raining and the leak was not fixed. Joe showed me what was wrong and scheduled me into their already booked schedule to fix the problem.

We had leaking in the second floor den and first floor garage ceiling 1 week ago. Our HOA hired a roofing company, they put tarp on the roof. They don't know how to repair tile roof. But we still had leaking after they put tarp. It's very difficult to find a roofing company available this year, especially in winter season. Everyone is busy. I found 1st Choice at Home Advisor. Joe contacted with me quickly. He communicated with me and HOA president very well. He explained the reason we had leaking after we sent him some pictures. Then he sent a technician to help us do the emergency dry in. Very professional work. We are very satisfied with 1st Choice. Our tenants are very happy as well. Will hire 1st Choice again in the future for other properties' roof repair and replacement. 1st Choice is on my top list now. Thank you again Joe.

Very quick and quality service. We had a leak and they showed up. Walked me through what was wrong and then quickly scheduled to have it fixed. They worked hard and I really appreciated the end product. Will absolutely use them again if I have a need in the future.

I needed roof mount brackets installed for a new awning on top of our cedar shake roof. I met and interviewed several companies but thrilled that i chose 1st Choice. They were responsive, on time and did the work with the utmost care. Truly awesome to work with and expect that i will use them on other projects going forward.
