Brian did an excellent job on our master bath remodel. The overall quality of his work was excellent and I highly recommend him.

Brian and his crew (especially Tim) were conscientious throughout the entire process of finishing our basement. A full bath, bedroom with walk-in closet and family room were constructed. The materals and workmanship were all excellent and Brian is a hands on contractor, he was at our home almost every day to check on the progress of the job. The parts of the project that required subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, flooring, hvac) were all completed by professionals who did an excellent job. Again Brian would be there to check on the work done by his Subs and have them correct any issues that he was not satisfied with during the entire project. We felt that the price quoted for the project was very reasonable and the project was completed in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Brian and First State Home & Garden for any of your construction needs, he is an excellent and meticulous builder.

We contracted First State Home and Garden to remodel our main bathroom. This renovation required replacing the existing fixtures, walls, tub, vanity, lighting, and toilet. Brian and his crew worked around the clock for a little under four weeks to get this work done on time and under budget. We were thoroughly impressed with Brian's craftsmanship and keen attention to detail. The work is flawless and every aspect of the job was well thought-out. We were also very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire renovation. Brian and his crew worked hard to minimize clutter and dust around our house. I highly recommend 1st State Home & Garden!

First Stae Home and Garden rates my higest praise. Brian (owner) and his associates provided the highest quality of workmanship at a very reasonable price. They were prompt, friendly, considerate and courteous for the entire duration of the project (bathroom remodel). I will certainly recommend them to others and plan to use them in future projects of my own. It is rare these days to find such a combination of value, skill, and courtesy. Thanks guys.

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.
