    My friend left a negative review for the exact same reason I'm leaving this review. First choice was the first business to respond to my yelp review. They responded within 1 minute of my quote request but have since ghosted my business solicitation. Don't waste your time on these guys and book a business who actually wants business. Sucks to be them, I was going to replace my entire rain gutter system. Seems as if Marcelino is only interested ghosting potential customers. Anyone else want some business?

    My wife and I just purchased a new home about, eight months ago and have been loving every minute of it. Being in San Diego, the weather is almost always sunny and rain is something that very rarely comes to mind. So when it came just recently, I took the time to walk around the house to see if there were any issues that needed to be addressed. While I was making my rounds, I noticed a portion of my roof and a long valley in it. As rain would hit the body of the roof, it would run into the valley, gain speed on its way down, and shoot over that portion of my rain gutter completely. The water was hitting the ground with such force, it seemed to be causing erosion. I immediately started panicking because the last thing I wanted was for the water to gather and get underneath the house. I ran to Lowe's and Home Depot searching for answers and found nothing. Jumped on Yelp, typed "rain gutter" into the search bar and started making calls. No one would help me. They either would say they, "didn't have the time to come out," or they wanted to charge me $200 bucks. Thankfully, I eventually got in contact with Marcelino. He explained what was going on with the roof and how I needed a "diverter." He also took the time to look at his schedule and see they were close to my area the following day and offered to stop by and fix the problem. At this point, I was getting ready for the large dollar figure he would tell me the job would cost. Guess what he told me? No cost at all. I was shocked. His brother came by the following day, fixed my problem and was off on his way. We had to practically force a tip on him because he wouldn't accept it. Businesses and owners like these don't even exist anymore. We are going to have them come back and install a whole new system. If you are looking for rain gutter installation look no further. Thank you Marcelino.

    Best experience using them for our raingutters on our two story, new construction home. First Choice provided the most competitive quote around as well. They were very prompt in getting back to us and getting an appointment for installation. I would recommend them! I'll follow up my review once it rains!

    Fast reliable service. Professional job. Would highly recommend. Reasonable pricing. Had gutters installed and with 3 downspouts. They were able to get the job done sooner than expected. Haven't had a rain yet but the gutters look fantastic.

    Extremely responsive and talented. A real pleasure to work with! Would highly recommend!

    Excellent service! From getting my the quote to the actual work being done - we had no issues. Marcelino and his crew showed up on time, finished the work quick with high quality results. I was in between in two colors, Marcelino brought me the bigger samples and put them on my garage and gave me some time to decide. I would highly recommend First Choice Raingutters.

    See all

    Marcelino said he would come by in the morning to give me an estimate. Never showed or returned my text. ‍ strange way to do business.

    Never ended up working with them because he ghosted me twice. I thought he would've been great to work with too when we first met.

    Ghosts potential clients - very unprofessional. No measurements, no quote, no follow up to say that project would not be a good fit.

He showed up exactly on time, explained their whole process to make sure I understood the scope of what needed to be done, and made sure to answer all of my questions, including some I thought of after he left. Their quote was on the lower end of the spectrum, but with an excellent warranty and references. We did end up with a $6k change-order for additional [hidden] damage that was not easily detectible during the initial inspection, but it was not surprising, as the roof had not been replace in well over 20 years and there were noticeable soft spots when walking on the roof due to rotten plywood under the shingles. Even with the change-order, the total cost was extremely reasonable, and came in under my projected budget. The work crew arrived promptly on day one and introduced themselves and apologized that it was going to be noisy/messy for the next few days. Every day, they cleaned up the trash very thoroughly and magnet rolled to make sure nothing was left behind. This was a big concern for me as I have two dogs that I don't want stepping on or eating debris. I was originally quoted 5-7 days for the entire project, and they finished in 4. The roof looks amazing. I would definitely recommend them, and if we decide to add solar in the future, we will go straight to them because the company has been phenomenal to work with.

The installers were absolutely amazing. They arrived on time every single day and worked hard the entire day. They were all extremely polite and I was so impressed how well they cleaned up the nails and dust around the house every evening . We're so happy with the new roof. It's such a good feeling that we finally went for it and got it done. It looks amazing and now I don't have to worry for years to come about any leaking! I will definitely be recommending you to friends and I've got a couple neighbors that are looking to do their roof. Have a great day and thank you all again.

With the last rain fall…read morea few weeks ago, I had a leak of spraying water entering my bedroom and stains appearing on the ceiling. I got out the invoice from Roof King and contacted them to fix this, under warranty. They strung me along for a couple weeks, not returning calls, etc, telling me they wouldn't honor the 12 year warrantee because I didn't "transfer the warrantee" 2 years ago when I purchased the home. I did some research and found out that in California, contractors have to fix their poor workmanship for up to 4 years, regardless of a warranty. I kindly pointed this out to them and gave them a week to respond, before reporting them to the CA licensing bureau. I got a call a couple days later saying "we will be out today between 1-3pm to fix your leak". While I'm glad they fixed the leak (which I cannot confirm since it hasn't rained yet) I think any reputable business would have fixed a leak 2 years after a roof was completely replaced. I would not recommend this roofer at all. If my roof ends up still leaking, I'm getting it replaced by someone else and not messing with this company anymore.

They did not communicate that this was a possibility or advise to move the car out when they worked in that area. There was never a project manager on site to communicate about details of the job or answer questions; presumably one of the workers was a supervisor but they never interacted with us. When starting the job, they did not confirm the start date so I called mid-morning when no one showed up; the excuse was a possibility of rain, but no one let me know they weren't coming. When the shingles were delivered, a truck just showed up without warning at a time when no one from their company was present to accept delivery. When done, the exhaust pipe for the range hood had received a lot of debris that fell into the fan and made noise; it was a lot of trouble to get that cleared out. But then later, we discovered that in the process they had moved the exhaust pipe for our gas furnace so it was a foot away from where it belonged, not connected, not possible to be connected; the furnace was now pumping exhaust into the attic and leaking it into the house.
