    A great experience; they came yesterday afternoon to determine what the problem was and explained how it would be addressed. They came back today at noon and were done by 2:30.

    First Rate 1 Construction was called after experiencing a roof and chimney leak from a rain storm. They came out right away (Vinnie and Tim) and were at my house within 45 minutes. Vinnie climbed up on the roof in the dark and in the rain and assessed the issue. We were given an assessment of the issue and a quote. We decided to get other quotes first before hiring them, but then called them back to reassess the issue in the daylight. We were told the chimney was very cracked and the flashing needed to be replaced. They took lots of pictures to show us what needed to be done and appeared very honest and thorough. They gave us a fair price and an honest answer therefore, we decided to hire them that day. We also had a part underneath our attic window that was wet and they also looked at that also and said it could be from the chimney. We spoke to three other contractors and they were the best. They were reliable with coming out when they said to assess the problem and once hired they completed the work within a day. They called beforehand to say they were coming and the morning of they called before arriving. We also asked them for a copy of their license and insurance which we said we needed before work began. The company emailed it to me the day before the work began. They gave us a new chimney which came out beautiful. They also ripped up a part of our roof where the leak was coming from, and nicely matched the new shingles to the older ones. We can barely tell. They also replaced a couple of bad plywood boards on the roof. The other day it rained and we went into the attic and everything was dry. We will definitely call Vinnie and Tim in the future if we have future projects.

    They were professional, worked efficient and explained every step of the process. They also left the home very clean which is a major plus considering how much trash they removed from the chimney.

    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.
