    They did an excellent job repointing my brick steps. Tim was so easy to work with and responsive to all questions. Texted or called right back. Good communication. I must admit they were a little pricey, but the job was well done. We’ll see how it holds up for the winter.

    Excellent experience. they were hired to re-stucco our chimney. When taking off old stucco they found all wood under rotted. discussed with us their recommendations. Took an extra day of hard work to rebuild chimney and apply new stucco. They did a quality job in a timely manner. Good communication throughout. Cleaned up well. Highly recommend.

    He was exactly on time! Very pleasant, courteous and professional. Did a great job cleaning out my fireplace - left the area very neat and clean. The woman who answered the phone was also very pleasant. She kept me up-to-date on when he would be here- she texted me a half hour before he got here - it was a very good experience!!

    Multiple companies called me responding to my inquiry. First Rate was the only outfit that was able to commit to a scheduled appointment. The technician was on time, polite and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job. I would gladly recommend First Rate.

    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.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
