"Sam and helper did an amazing job. They were very kind, considerate, professional and went above and beyond in everything they did. We definitely will recommend First Choice to our friends and relatives.
Thank you so much!"
Darrell G. said,
"Received a prompt call to confirm my ticket and let me know they would call me if an earlier appointment became available. It did, and I actually got a call as promised, not a text or an email. When they arrived, no one was home and I let them in remotely Sam offered to stay on the phone while he did the initial diagnosis but I told him that wasn’t necessary and call me when he needed me. I appreciated the recognition they were in my home alone and not flippant about it. They had to order a part and Sam underpromised and set appropriate expectations. In the end they were able to over deliver because Sam acted with integrity and honesty."

"Oh if all service companies could be as responsive, professional and skilled as this company. A ceiling light fixture wouldn't work. I called their office on a Tuesday asking for an electrician to come out & fix the ceiling socket. I was called back the same day and given the choice of someone coming out the next day (Wed) or the day after. The day after was better for our schedule and in early afternoon that Sam came out, inspected the light socket which was fine then determined we had a funky light switch.
