I needed my ceiling repaired and I am very impressed with all the work and the finished product. My ceiling looks great and I appreciated the explanation of what was done and the quotes before getting the work done. 10/10 service and will be asking him to come back to fix other projects.

The communication issue was resolved. They are very helpful & are willing to work with us

Had recessed lights installed and pop-corn ceilings removed in 2024. Had a light issue last month and Jorge Jr showed great professional integrity by coming back to fix it. He replaced the flickering lights and installed all the pending dimmable switches (including 3 smart dimmable switches out of pocket). Also patched few areas of drywall and ceilings. It’s clear he cares about his reputation and customer satisfaction, which gives me peace of mind regarding his warranty on this project.

Renovated extremely old small restroom with mold and removed and retextured popcorn ceiling with recessed lighting installed as well. Process took just below two weeks (likely could’ve been finished in a week but condo was fully furnished after living in it for 25 years) and end product was beautiful.

George and team were communicative, professional and exceeded our expectations! We first hired them for popcorn ceiling removal. We were so happy with their work we hired them again two days later to install our recessed lighting. They offered a fair price and worked with us within our budget. I was so amazed with the result, we will definitely hire them again for future needs. Thank you George and team!

I’m really impressed with the quality of work. He repaired drywall damage, matched the texture perfectly, and the paint blend is seamless. He also corrected the electrical box/outlet so everything sits flush like it should. Communication was great, showed up as scheduled, worked efficiently, and the final result looks brand new. If you want the job done right the first time, hire him.

Jorge and his team have been so wonderful to work with. They started with my ceiling popcorn removal and interior painting. It looks beautiful and the team is so professional. They really care about their work quality and making sure their client is happy. I was so pleased with their work that I hired them to do my kitchen, flooring, lights, and more. I highly recommend working with Jorge and his team. My home looks beautiful and I am so happy with all of their work.

Jorge jr. was super helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. He and his crew went above and beyond to help me with my popcorn ceiling removal, texture, and painting

Highly Recommend! George and his crew did an amazing job! They were responsible, detailed, and truly cared about the work. Besides removing the popcorn ceilings, I also asked them to repaint the entire house and install recessed lights. When everything was done and I turned on the new lights, I couldn’t stop smiling — it looked beautiful! Thank you so much, George!

George was very professional and did an excellent job.

Didn't ultimately do project, but First Choice responded quickly and understood constraints of the project

Joshua J.Jun 2025

I would have chose all 5 options if it didn't limit me to 3. George was punctual, professional, responsive, and great work quality. He was the first to respond to my requests and he coordinated the work schedule so efficiently and got the work done quickly. He is very knowledgeable in what he does and he does so many things. He continuously informed me what he was doing and why. I felt reassured because of it but also the end result was great just as he explained. He also suggested other work he could do for me, which is great because it should be done but I was procrastinating on researching who can do the job. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and families and I would continue to work with him when other things come up.

George was excellent. He found a way to get the job done in a short time frame and completed the work quickly and correctly. This outfit is top notch and you can count on them to do the job right and go over all the options. Highly recommended!

Miriam N.Feb 2025

I’m so grateful we worked with George and his team! We’ve been needing popcorn ceiling removal since doing it on your own is quite challenging. George was very responsive and thoughtful. His team finished the popcorn ceiling removal within two hours! Their dedication to their work quality and their customers’ safety are greatly appreciated! We will definitely work with them again on other house projects.

1st Choice Remodeling removed the popcorn ceiling and sanded it so that I could paint it myself. George and his team did an amazing job, including thoroughly cleaning everything before they left. The price was reasonable. Highly recommended!

Peter A.Sep 2024

George provided a quote that was half the amount of a different company for the same repairs. He was very responsive and transparent throughout the entire process. He did exactly what he promised he would do and I highly recommend 1st Choice Modeling.

Colleen S.Jul 2024

Jorge did an amazing job on my project? He was conscious about cleanliness and very professional. Once I paint I'll only know the wall was patched.

AJ P.May 2024

George was straightforward and helpful in explaining what needed to be done in fixing my drywall Did a fast and excellent job!

Robyn C.Oct 2023

Very happy with the end results. The areas repaid match perfectly with the surrounding texture. There was one small section that he could not cover because he found a slight leak, thankfully. He is also giving me a quote for a garage update.

Aliyan H.May 2023

Great dry wall patch work. The wall looks new and you can’t tell if there was a hole in it.
