He organized some other work with subcontractors, so I didn't have to worry about finding reliable people for those jobs too. My home had 2 prior roofs on it, so there was a lot of tear-off work to do. Everything went according to plan. No surprisers, and no complaints. Ted showed up on time everyday and did everything he said he was going to do. I was grateful when he made suggestions, like adding an extra vent in my roof for a future kitchen fan that I plan to do someday. He communicates well and is very proactive. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, reliable, and cleans up the mess everyday, give Ted a call. When I heard the Inspector say "Carry on gentlemen," I knew things were going well. All of my neighbors have commented on how great my home looks. Thanks Ted! A+

Update: After a…read morenightmare experience with our walkway: - majority of bricks were upside down -people were tripping over the bricks that Chris said would "settle" -the wrong materials used -busted sprinkler line due to a stake driven through We finally found a contractor to fix Chris' mistakes! Chris may be good at concrete (I wouldn't know) but DO NOT let him convince you that he knows what he's doing with masonry. This has been confirmed by multiple professionals who have looked at the job that it was a complete flop. Take a look at the updated photos and the bricks speak for themselves. (Same bricks, but by a real mason)

Working with Chris was fine but the price doubled between my original estimate and the final…read moreestimate ($4985 up to $9763) and the work in one area did not actually fix the problem I hired him for. The original plan was to remove/prevent weeds from my leach field and area near house & put rock under an electric fence. When asked about the weeds, Christopher said: "If you do it correctly you'll be able to be plant free in areas that you tamped for a few years. Longest I've been able to keep plants away without adding a cloth weed sheet was 5 years." As of 5/22/24 when I finally just canceled the project because I couldn't handle any more unexpected price increases, the leach field is completely filled with weeds again, so the work just made a different kind of weed grow, but in the same amount. The rock under the fence is more than halfway complete. Here are the details about the price increases if you are interested. Estimate started at $4985, then Chris added $2915 more because he needed more materials than originally estimated. The work was still only partially completed when we made a new plan that would cost me around $900 more to finish the job ($300 labor + around $600 in materials). On the day that work was supposed to start, Chris told me that I needed to pay the materials people directly when the shipment arrived. I called them to pay and they told me the remaining materials would be $1367 for bark and $196 for rock, including delivery fee. That would mean I'd pay another $767 for materials than I was quoted. The frustrating part about each of these increases is that the work is halfway finished, so I have no choice but to switch contractors or deal with Chris again, whose prices go up without advance notice (the materials vendor is the one who told me this new info).

First Rate Roof is incredible! Please get drink and settle in for this read. I have something to…read moresay :) They replaced my roof a month ago and from the estimate to completion they were very professional and kept great level of communication with me. I obtained 3 estimates from local companies that all initially passed my research process: I looked up projects each company had done over the past couple of years/ permits pulled and closed/ any complaints / workers comp issues / insurance carried and lastly I looked at reviews online. I came up with 3 I wanted to invite to bid. What sold me on First Rate Roofing was when I met Ethan in person. He was the only owner that came out to look at my project . Infact, with the other 2 companies , I had a hard time figuring out who even owned the companies in my online research. ..... AND his estimate had a clause about the Workmanship Warranty ...NOBODY else out of the 3 companies I invited for bids did that !!! It was as if they couldn't warranty the work they did! All the companies had something about the shingle manufacturer warranty but the reality is that if the workmanship isn't good , the product warranty doesn't matter====I know I'm writing a lot here BUT this was an huge investment, and I'm trying to help you with your due diligence process==== I also liked the Owens Corning Duration products they installed. I read about the product online ( the specs) and went to "touch" the shingles at the local Big box stores on Sprague. The worries about color choice was last on my list of considerations when I chose the product, but I was surprising pleased with the color options in the OC line. If you have problems with picking a color, don't worry, Ethan helped me with that too. I chose "Teak" which looks great with Grey-Taupe-green homes. That will leave some room for house paint color changes. First rate roofing didn't have the lowest bid but that was NOT the deciding factor. The bid was very fair and I'd rather pay a couple dollars more to have a roofing company I had complete confidence in. Product warranties mean nothing if you can't trust the skill level of the Installer. When I met Ethan, the owner, I was impressed by his knowledge about roofing, and the fact that he didn't mind answering my questions no matter how stupid they were :) I also found Ethan, is highly motivated individual who has built a team of roofers that echo his commitment to hard work. Once I signed my contract, I scheduled the work to start about 5 weeks later. They took care of everything. It took about 2 days to do my roof. They needed to replace a couple areas of the decking. Something I was really please with: they were able to take out all the ugly Mushroom Vent thingys and put in ridgeline venting which really helped update my house. Every evening, the crew cleaned up my yard in such a way that I didn't know they'd even been there! I'm a stickler about my yard, and I appreciated that they took care to protect the plants surrounding my home. I've heard of roofers that leave nails behind that people find all year long BUT NOT THESE GUYS!! you just won't find anything and you will have a well done roof ...Maybe this was more than you wanted to know. I am going to post this review on a few different sites because this company deserves consideration by my Spokane area neighbors needing a new roof or repairs. I had a great experience and encourage you to check out this company. I would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again.
