Customer Reviews

"Tony and all of his staff at first choice did an incredible job assisting me and my parents building an additional dwelling unit. I initially started with a different contractor but after multiple headaches, I finally fired them and reached out to Tony and his staff. Needless to say, there was a night and day difference from day one. Tony and the staff were extremely responsive to all my questions. The turn time was amazing I couldn't believe how quickly we were able to get the whole house built. The quality of the work was top-notch. I will be going to first choice for all my construction needs in the future and would recommend everyone do the same."

Robert Gonzales

"I was extremely impressed with the courteousness, work, and responsiveness of 1st Choice and their employees. I also highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again in the very near future."

Cheryl F.

"Very good service from these folks. The prices were competitive and I was very pleased with the quality of work. I appreciate the services that Tony, Ed, and their crews gave and the end product was more than I had hoped for a job well done."
