I don’t know what FGS does well, but in my case at least, it’s not hardwood floor refinishing, drywall repair, or painting. My insurance company hired FGS as a “preferred contractor” after water damaged our hardwood floors earlier this year. FGS was a complete disaster. The job was supposed to begin on a Monday and take 4-5 days (considerable area of hardwood needed to be refinished). FGS was a day late, and when they did arrive, here’s what they claim to have accomplished in the space of about 10 hours on that one day alone: - Prepped the area with plastic sheathing - Had a plumber remove a toilet, dishwasher, refrigerator - Removed baseboard molding (not quite all, oddly left some in place) - Applied a coating of wood filler to the entire floor - Sanded the floor - Applied a stain - Applied a UV protectant solution - Applied not two (standard) but THREE coats of polyurethane - Buffed the floor in between each coat (allegedly after letting each coat dry) - Removed all plastic and cleaned up They went back to the house on Wednesday for about one minute to look around (having security cameras all throughout my home was a blessing to check their work). On Thursday, they invited us back to see the “finished” job. It was an epic disaster. - The gaps in floorboards were still present, but some contained uneven gobs of wood filler. It appeared they didn’t allow the filler to dry properly before sanding, so much of it simply got pulled out of the cracks - For some reason, they used a nail gun randomly in the flooring, leaving nail head pop ups in several places (not friendly to bare feet) - The finish was uneven with areas where it clearly had pooled and looked darker than the rest - The floor texture was rippled, like the skin of an orange skin We told the project manager that it was unacceptable, so he agreed to have the crew come back and do it again. Interestingly, when we began to criticize the work, the PM adamantly wanted to distance FGS from the work crew, calling them “subcontractors” and not FGS employees. Frankly, that kind of quibbling only worsened my image of this company. We also discovered: In our bathroom, we found a golf ball-sized hole in a wall that appeared to have been crudely repaired. FGS did not inform us this happened or step up to do the right thing The hole was filled with toilet paper and putty that sunk back into the wallboard, and it was not textured to match the rest of the wall We discovered on security camera that one of the crew had snooped around in our garage to find our paint cans, and selected the wrong shade of color so it stood out They placed our toilet in our laundry room and put the toilet lid inside a laundry basket right on top of a pile of clean, folded clothing The baseboard molding was trashed, some pieces broken, and in several areas around the base of kitchen cabinets their machinery had scraped up and marred the wood The crew came back to address the flooring. Instead of re-sanding it and starting again, they used some type of machine to do a harder buffing and recoating. This time, allegedly two coats of polyurethane. The result was similar. While it had improved the texture somewhat, it still had the orange peel look and there were areas we could see that didn’t get any polyurethane at all so the color and finish were uneven. The PM asked for a third chance but we declined. Enough was enough. The company put the baseboard molding back on and moved the refrigerator back in place but refused to hire a plumber to reattach the fridge, toilet, and dishwasher. FGS took the moral low ground and held our kitchen and bathroom hostage and unusable out of what felt like sheer spite. Here's the final kicker. Before FGS would even schedule the flooring job, they required me to pay my deductible up front, which I did. After being relieved of the job (“fired?”) by USAA, they kept my payment. It took four months and intervention by USAA before I got my money back.

We had a water damage claim and this was the company assigned to our claim, but we would have chosen them ourselves. They replaced the carpet throughout our entire basement and worked with us to achieve the look we wanted. We also asked for additional work to be done in our basement outside of the claim and they were really easy to work with on it. The process was easy and all the work was accomplished in as timely a manner as possible. We highly recommend them! Eric was our project manager and he was available for questions/clarifications as needed!

We had water damage from a frozen pipe that required moisture mitigation and dwelling restoration. Eric our project manager handled it all well. We had a parade of specialists who did drywall, carpentry, carpeting, painting, and relocating furniture for us in the end. There were many names to recall, but everyone was personable, explained what they were doing for us, and all work was very satisfying when done. They are a great one stop shop for getting things back to normal after a troubling incident in one’s home.

Garrett and Desmond did an amazing job. We had a utility room flood that traveled out into the finished basement and they came out within 2 hours of being notified and started estimating damages and getting ruined carpet padding and baseboards removed and disposed of. They moved all person belongings that were in the way into a dry area to keep them safe. They had fans set within hours to dry everything out and were back multiple times to check up on the drying process. Honestly they gave me the biggest peace of mind with this whole issue and were very thorough in explaining everything before they went forward. 100% recommend them to anyone that needs water mitigation done.

Had a large project with first general services in fall 2020. It was an insurance claim. They did great! Even with the weather constantly competing with our outside project, they still completed their project in a good amount of time. Communication was great, we had an excellent project manager John who worked well with us and made sure everything was completed with quality work. I would recommend them again and again.

We had a flood in our office. First General arrived within an hour to start extracting the water and drying us out. Justin and his crew were very professional and courteous. We loved them and hated to see them leave! Then the next crew showed up and started the restoration part. Antonio and Omar and their crew were AMAZING! They worked nights and weekends to try to stay out of the Doctors and out Patients way. They cleaned as they went, so we never felt like we were under construction. These gentlemen were courteous, detail oriented and available whenever was convenient for us! I would HIGHLY recommend this company!

I needed a company to help me restorate my basement since I had water damage. I was assigned Keith, who was an incredible person who tried to give me the best results. On his team everyone was very respectful and hard working, but Antonio and Omar were over the top. They work so nicely and left everything clean every day when they go home. They always arrived on time (the other people on the team didn’t, but it didn’t bother me since I’m a stay at home mom) and they would always be very respectful and so fast! They did a great job and faster than anyone else. Ask for them because they make the whole experience with the company worth it. Also the girl at the front who’s always smiling was really nice and patient with me. I think this is a great company. Very satisfied

Working with First General Services was fantastic for repairing hail damage to my house. It was an extremely great, quick, and easy process getting everything set up and having the work completed. I’m very impressed at how well it all went!

Considering the back load of work due to weather related problems,eg burst pipes, the mitigation of my overflowed sink was resolved in a timely matter by Clean Masters. The rebuilding of drywall to my downstairs bedroom ceiling was completed efficiently and at first the repair which was mudded and then painted,did not blend in with the rest of the ceiling. The following week, the entire ceiling was retextured (done by Steve)and allowed to dry and then repainted and all this work was done very efficiently to my satisfaction, by First General Services. The crew from both Clean Masters and First General Services were very courteous and explained how the work would be completed. I enjoyed having conversations with Steve and Colton Brody ( in particular). I am grateful that the project is finally finished! I would recommend repairs done by First General Services to any of my friends. Sincerely, Frances Tencza

our office flooded and after insurance and everything got figured out, this company stepped up to the plate to get the walls fixed and painted. Our office isn't huge...but it's not small either. We are medical and this company worked with us. They were so nice, asked for our opinions, and even offered opinions on paint color, and they were absolutely right!! Highly professional. We have truly had a superb experience with them. Thank you so much!!! The staff at Advanced Gynecology
