First Choice was referred to us from the water remediation guys (also a 5 star rated company). Overall, we are very pleased with Max and his crew's work and would use Max again for future projects and recommend him on Yelp to others. Description of the work: repair and remodel a floored basement with approx. 770SF in the Stone Hedge subdivision in Wheaton. During the entire process (from the first visit of the water damage to final project delivery and payment to close out project), Max communicated well in person, via phone and text message. He was able to explain the insurance claim process very well and worked with me to ensure the insurance company / insurance adjuster does not miss anything during the claim process. He was able to provide an outline of the project and explain each component of the restoration and enhancement in detail. For the extra things we asked him to do (for extra $ of course), he would ask questions and confirm exactly how we want things (i.e., paraphrasing). We were very comfortable with Max's approach and we've asked him to post bond/insurance to the project, which he did without any exceptions. We left the house to him and his crew for three weeks while we traveled internationally to visit families and relatives. We got back and the basement was done exactly the way my wife and I wanted. Previously, our basement had vinyl plank floor and now we spent the extra money and got wood-look-alike porcelain tile, which looked absolutely fantastic. Oftentimes contractors do not do a good job to clean up their work after jobs/projects are completed. This was not the case for the basement and other small one-off projects (e.g., paint window trim) Max and his crew had done: they hired a cleaning company to clean the basement / other areas. My garage was dusty from the tile cutting however, it is understandable because tiles had to be cut in the garage while it rained like crazy in late March and early April. We will use Max for future renovations because he is well-prepared, attentive, responsive, competitively priced and most importantly honest and get stuffs done. Highly recommend! read more

We hired First Choice Remodel to fix a bunch of repairs related to Tile, Hardwood, Plumbing, Electrical and Drywall work. The repairs were needed due to a water leak in our First floor laundry room. There was damage on the first floor which trickled down to our basement. Max from First Choice Remodel understood how the insurance claims process works and was very helpful every step of the way. Very calm, honest and level headed guy. First Choice Remodel was a referral from Mike at ProDry restoration who helped us with the drying process. Another great company to call if you ever have to deal with a water leak and you have no clue where to begin. read more

Max was referred to us our water mitigation company following a flooding in our basement. Max did a great job going through all the details prior to starting the job. Measuring & explaining everything in detail. We used this opportunity to make some enhancements in our basement. Max got the right people for the job. He followed with the insurance adjustor to make sure everything was correct & missing things were added. My insurance adjustor also commented that Max was very easy to talk to. Overall we are very happy with the work & price. I would definitely use them again & highly recommend him. read more

I couldn't have been happier with the work that Max and his team did at my house. I had my basement redone, which they finished right on time and it looked perfect. However, right after they finished the work my AC unfortunately broke causing some flooding and damage to the basement. Max and his guys came out that same day and started repairing it right away. He also did this at an extremely affordable price. He went above and beyond with not only the work but the customer care. I would recommend First Choice Remodel & Repair to anyone. read more

Max and his crew (from First Choice Restoration & Repair) did an excellent job on repairs to our home following a water leak. Not only did he and his team complete all the work in record time (which was incredibly helpful as we were on a massive time crunch as we were selling our home), but he also worked with our insurance adjustor on budget, and the quality of the work was unmatched. Max is a pro and a pleasure to do business with, and we highly recommend him and his team should you ever need restoration or repair work. read more
