    They were great to work with. I was very happy with the end results of my project and with their services too. I have recommended them already.

    He traveled far just to get to our rental property and he came in bad weather and worked in bad conditions. I never heard anything derogatory come out of his mouth. He was just a true professional.

    Rick was extremely professional from the first time he answered my call. We changed our plans a couple of times before the work began, and he was always patient and treated us with respect, as the family that needs to be happy with our final decision. There is no project we wouldn't entrust to him and his team of quality professionals with.

    Rick came out for just an estimate originally knowing that I was working with the original construction company to repair work. That day he took his time, asked questions, did a through inspection and even stayed to talk with my original builder. Over the course of 5 months he came out multiple times to assist me by providing his expertise to the builders. His dedication, not only helped me but he ended up being my contractor since the original company finally gave in and allowed me to have the work done right. Rick did an excellent job, he did not skip corners and when he found additional issues he told me about them with a plan already in place. In the end he did work on the outside of my home for drainage issues, sealed a large hole that was allowing water into the home, mold remediation in the kitchen, drywall replacement, painting, installed appliances, sealed leaky areas of a sliding glass door, and many other things. He also installed a tile backsplash in my kitchen and it looks great. He is also attentive to detail, something that is needed in this profession. No issues there. Rick is a "get the job done right the first time" type of guy and that has been something I haven't seen with the other contractors I worked with. Most want to do the job for as much money as I will pay and then give minimal effort to get the job done. Rick is not like that. He went above and beyond what my expectations were and I couldn't be happier. He will definitely be my first call from here on out whenever I need work done on my home.

    exceptional customer service. He was very willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied.

    Upon discovering that mold existed on my property I needed an expert to test and remove it. 1st Rate Construction and Environmental Services explained the process on a level I could understand. They showed up when they were scheduled, completed the work in a timely manner and worked professionally. I was left with a feeling of 100% confidence in the job which they performed. Lastly, the price which was quoted was fair and never deviated from the original quote. This quality of work is rarely seen these days.

    Very professional and very knowledgeable. Great quality of work. I tend to be skeptical in choosing a company for anything but I trusted the quality of work and overall customer service experience so much that I asked for a bid on a different job that I needed done and had this company do that one too!

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
