I recently hired this company for some remodeling work in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress-free.

A big thanks goes to César, who did an amazing job. He worked with great attention to detail, always kept the area clean, and made sure everything was done exactly as I wanted. He also gave me helpful advice along the way, which made the outcome even better than I had imagined.

The team was punctual, reliable, and respectful of my home, and the quality of their work is outstanding. My place feels refreshed and upgraded, and I’m truly impressed with the craftsmanship.

If you’re looking for a company that you can trust for remodeling or smaller construction projects, I highly recommend them. They made the whole experience easy and delivered results far beyond my expectations.

We had a leak in our house in San Diego and had many companies visiting us, the information and the prices were all over the place, finally when we met with Igor, we were able to get an accurate information with a very straightforward pricing.

Our family needed a complete house remodel in San Diego, and after researching a lot of contractors, we chose First Choice Home Builders. They did an incredible job reconfiguring our layout and creating a more open space. From the living room to the master bath, everything looks amazing.

Simply put, I trust Igor. There’s not been a job that I’ve asked of him and his crew that they could not oblige. Masters of their craft to say the least & they also know how to stick to a time schedule. I highly recommend going with this team for your next big renovation project and future ideas. These guys know their stuff.
