We needed a portico in our backyard and we wanted something simple, but still nice looking and solidly built. First State worked with us to figure out exactly what would work and at a price that we were comfortable with given this was not going to a grand front door portico. We absolutely love what they built, it fits so perfectly and is a quality structure that protects from the elements. I appreciated that I was treated as a valued and respected customer even though our project was very modest. If you have a project large or small, I highly recommend FSBD!

We had a fence installed and the deck completely rebuilt. They did great work. The workmanship is top notch. The final products are beautiful and expertly installed. We are very happy with our new yard.

Very creative and responsive.

I would recommend them for any building project because they were so professional and so attentive to my needs.

Workmanship. The whole process each step of the way was done with pride and expertise.

The team at FSBD is one of most professional and highly qualified contractors I have ever worked with. From the design phase of our deck to the actual build and follow-up, they have been prompt, courteous, and have responded to every question we've had.I would highly recommend them for any and all home construction projects a homeowner is considering.

Joe was thorough, professional, organized and stayed on top of items thru the process. The finished deck is awesome and well constructed - we are very happy with First State

Great company to work with. We had several other contractors come out to meet with us about our “special project”. Our 4-year-old son has a muscular disorder and we needed adaptive steps built so he could be independent getting up and down. I’d met with 3 contractors and none seemed thrilled about taking on a project that would require additional time and thought. The last contractor actually suggested we just build a ramp! The idea was to maximize his abilities and keep him moving! When I met with Joe at FSBD he sat and listened to our story for 45 minutes. He even asked to see how my son gets up and down steps now. He was incredibly compassionate and genuinely wanted to help us. He came up with great options that no other contractor had even mentioned. From start to finish everything was done right. The workmanship is top notch and the crew was highly professional. Watching my son able to finally take his first step up a set of stairs is something I just can’t put into words. Thank you FSBD!!!!

Great company, great job - highly recommend.

We were beyond pleased with the workmanship and professionalism of First State Building Design. From our first meeting to discuss the project until the very end, the process went extremely well, and we absolutely love the finished product. We were concerned that our existing landscaping could be damaged during the project, but when the project was completed, you wouldn't have even known that the team had been having to work around the landscaping beds to install the deck. Everything was perfect!

Our new deck is extremely well built and attractive. It is exactly what we planned and expected. The project was completed as quickly as the weather permitted.

I had a section of deck off of a screened in porch that was pulling away from the house and was no longer safe. First State Building & Design came over to assess the damage and give potential solutions. They were nothing short of professional, kind and knowledgeable. Upon selecting the route I wanted to take, the team came out to fix it all. We had some weather issues pop up, and through the process, everything was clearly communicated and the team completed the job in a timely manner. In addition, they also installed new screen doors on the porch. FSBD’s craftsmanship and pride of work are clearly evident, even on such a smaller job. I would highly recommend First State Building & Design to anyone looking for a group of quality craftsmen. Thank you, FSBD!
