Very disappointed. First Choice Contracting, Corp. (Troy Kollmer) strung us along for 10 months and never completed our project. He first told us he does construction laons with bank then constantly asked for endless money from our pocket or he will stop working. He started our project in September. After endless lies that we would start work all summer long beginning in june .Hardly showed up to do work from September through march. Interesting that he had 60% of the jobs total budget paid up in full by November and then barely showed up after that to do work at our house. Whatever work he did do either came out just "okay" or subpar. Considering after 10 months the town just failed us for the strapping inspection. He Did not have a strong work ethic. Quality was not great. Took unnecessary shortcuts to make life easier for him but impacted the quality of our project. No part of our job was actually completed in full. He left everything half done or not started at all. In addition, he misread plans for framing that now need to be redone along with every nail put into plywood and all hurricane straps as well . We asked for an updated contract and an estimated completion date for months, since every step of the way he asked for more money beacuse he mispriced originally...Never got it. He did a poor job overall installed the subfloor poorly. We have creaks in multiple spots of our brand new subfloor. He broke our baywindow in process and said we have to pay to fix it. He never installed the copper flashing to prevent termite damage as drawn in plans, Said he will fix it and never did. Have all of our communication in texts saved in a pdf with all of his lies and excuses. Even have one saying he would have house done months before my wife gave birth my child is now 3 months old and still not done framing. He would mostly send one of his guys over to give us two hours here and there while he was on other jobs or would just sit in his truck on phone. In researching, apparently he has done this to other clients and his own subcontractors have issues with him as well. Saying he's unreliable and owes them money. This is one year of our lives we will never get back and he did not care at all about the impact and inconvenience his actions or lack thereof had on us and our family. All we want now is to part ways and him sign a release, he said the only way that is happening is if we give him another $12,520.The amount of stress and anxiety it caused us and the amount of extra money it is costing us to have someone finish things we technically already paid for that he didn't finish and also have to pay extra to have someone fix the things he didn't do correctly. Save yourself time, money, and headache and move along. Find a different contractor who is professional, honest, and takes pride in their work
