    They were very good, nice & left everything clean. Only reason they didn't get a full 5 stars was because they didn't show up on the day we agreed. They ended up coming few days later. He said it was a miscommunication. But when they did come, I was happy with the work & professionalism

    Hired them to clean our chimney. They called & showed up promptly. Vinny & Tim were very friendly & professional & knowledgeable! They assessed the job and made suggestion on what else they recommend to be done. I appreciate that because we live in an older home. Very happy with the entire experience and would hire them again! .

    I had to get the job done quickly and First Rate worked with me to get the job done in a timely fashion and very professional. A true relief to find responsible contractors, considering all the nightmare contractors that are out there.

    I hired First Rate to clean my fireplace. Tim was very courteous and honest. He showed up on time, and were very clean. He took the time to explain how it works (my first house) and gave me tips on other projects that I can do in the home. I definitely recommend them ,and will rehire them for future projects.

    It was a great company to work with and also with Tim & Vinny. They explained everything what they would do to make you feel comfortable. This company is very neat and efficient. You will benefit from this company, I am so happy I selected them. You won't be disappointed.

    Tim was very upfront with what needed to be done and what it would cost. I hired him he showed up on time, finish the work and cleanup after. Great contractor! Would definately use him again.

    I received a call from First Rate 1 Construction within 5 minutes of posting the roof job. They met me at my home the same day, while it was raining. I showed them the leak and they went on the roof, came back to quote a price and said they could start the next day. After I agreed, they said they could do something temporary. They went back on the roof with tools (it was still raining) and put in a temp fix that immediately stopped the leak. They came back the next day, tore the section of roof down, replaced the ply wood, flashing and shingles, then cleaned up. It's like they were never there. Perfect contractor experience.

    We had an emergency leak that needed repair but since we knew we needed to have the roof replaced anyway we decided to do the whole job. First Rate came out, gave us a reasonable estimate (we already had a few) and got the roof (including the garage) done within days. They were very professional, took care in protecting the gardens and yard and cleaned up after themselves. They did a great job.

    They were punctual. I had a possible issue with the work. They came out right away and resolved it.

    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.
