He does quality work. Professional, efficient, honest. I would definitely recommend him. read more

It's been over 10 years since Firth Construction remodeled our home and everything they did still looks great and has stood the test of time. Nick has been available through the years to answer questions and to help our friends with home remodeling needs. Don't hesitate to choose Firth Construction. You can rest easily knowing that Nick will care for your house as if it's his own and he knows his stuff. He will solve issues that arise. You won't have to intervene and you will be very glad that you chose the right, conscientious contractor. In contrast, we undertook a major remodel with a different GC over the last year. We didn't use Firth Construction because of our scheduling and timing needs; however, we have major regrets that we didn't wait for Nick and his team to be available. We have had numerous headaches with the other company with many things having to be redone and having to settle with "good enough" because we had no choice. We had to bring in our own sub contractors to complete some work so we could feel comfortable that it was done correctly. In fact, we are still waiting for the GC to finish major work and are sitting in limbo with only one (of three) fully functional bathrooms, which is the bathroom Firth Construction did years ago. It's been extremely stressful, frustrating and disappointing. Renovations aren't always easy and unexpected things will happen; however, you can give yourself peace of mind and less stress if you choose Firth Construction. I wish we had and we are paying the price now. read more

Eleven years after our large renovation, Nick is still showing up for us, even coming over for small problems or doing maintenance jobs, or even just consulting on potential projects we are talking about for our projects. We are still fans! read more

Nick Firth is honestly the most awesome contractor. Nick has done three jobs for us now. He redid our kitchen, our front doors and just today finished the most beautiful staircase remodel that I have been wanting for years. The workmanship is outstanding. Every detail is perfect. I want to add here that having Nick and his crew working on our home has been so fun and easy. Honesty, they are so polite, punctual and neat. How many contractors vaccum every night before they leave? How many contractors would you trust to watch your dog and be sure she is safe while you are a work? How many contractors understand when your grandchild is sleeping and so they do the quiet work then. How many contractors show up every day on time and you would trust with your house key? Nick ..I will never use anyone else. Nick is our man. I also need to give huge kudos to Jeff who is amazing at crown molding and a wonderful person...also to Martin who is brilliant with staining and painting and varnishing and Mick who is so delightful and did the front doors ...not to mention Jorge who is so sweet and hard working. I need to think up another project, maybe the upstairs bathroom? Hey Nick! okay maybe next year. To everyone who is reading this review, I say hire Nick Firth but remember if I have a project, he has to come here first. read more

Once again, Nick saved my day! This time, I was in a contract to purchase a property, asked Nick if he would be interested in remodeling the house. He was honest and told me he is busy with his current one big project that he couldn't take on anything until four months out, but he offered to swing by to the property and do a quick walk-through with me. On the day of the walk-through, Nice showed up as promised and gave me some extremely valuable opinions about the conditions of the house and and recommendations on the strategies for rehab. Having remodeled five houses in the past with other general contractors, I have honestly had very low opinions of them. However, Nick completely changed my view about what an honest, high integrity, GC could be. I would highly recommend Nick for your next jobs, and I will definitely work with him agin for my future projects. read more

I can't say enough nice things about Nick Firth. My husband and I hired Nick for an extensive and complicated renovation of our condo. We live in a high-rise building in SOMA with strict rules and regulations. Nick was on our building's approved contractor list and came highly recommended but he exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the results. Nick remodeled our kitchen and 2 bathrooms, installed new flooring, added track lighting, hung 5 mirrors, painted and much more. The most difficult part of the job was a unique bathtub enclosure/cabinet we had him install. We do not use our bathtub and wanted more storage but didn't want to take out the bathtub for resale purposes. Nick helped with the design and installed a cabinet that sits on top of the tub. It was tricky and he put a lot of thought into the installation. You would never know that the tub is underneath and the cabinet looks like a beautiful piece of furniture. It's really amazing what he did. Nick and his crew did a fabulous job. Nick is a perfectionist, his work is very high quality and he expects the same from his crew. He thinks outside the box. When it came time to go through the punch list at the end of the project, we were hard pressed to find anything that needed fixing. Everyone who set foot on the jobsite was respectful, responsive, professional, hard working and had the high standards that Nick expects. And they were all really pleasant to be around! We will definitely use Nick again and we highly recommend him. read more

Can't say enough great things about Nick Firth and his crew. He was recommended to me by Paul from Schmitt Heating. Paul told me all these horror stories about coming in after bad contractors. I asked him to recommend a good contractor and he recommended Nick. I had him come out for a very small job. Great work. Just had them put in a major 4x4 skylight and a solar tube. Great work. Kept my house spotless. And worked quickly. You can not do better than these guys. read more

We recently worked with Firth Construction on a major kitchen remodel project, and we could not be more pleased with the results. Nick, his crew, and all of his subcontractors are professional, experienced, and dedicated to doing whatever is necessary to make the project a success. We also very much appreciated everyone's efforts to keep the impact/mess to adjacent spaces to a minimum, and the job site was always kept clean. And because we live in a condominium, we had to abide by very strict HOA guidelines. Again, everyone that worked on the job - from demolition to finishing touches was respectful of the rules and our neighbors. Our project was extremely time sensitive in that the cabinet manufacturer with whom we worked to design the kitchen was handling the installation of the new cabinets and some of the new appliances. It was crucial therefore that the site be properly prepared and done so according to the schedule we had agreed to with the other vendor. Nick not only had everything ready and done to the required specifications, but also was a key advocate on our behalf when it came to working with the designers and cabinet installers to troubleshoot problems immediately so that work could stay on schedule. He even took the time to check-in on several occasions as the cabinet work was being completed to make sure that things were going smoothly. The bottom line is that Nick is a hard worker; he takes extreme pride in his business, and expects this same commitment from everyone on his team. I would recommend Firth Construction without reserve. read more

Last December, we had a house fire associated with a defective fireplace. The fire department did a terrific job, but did a number on our house in the process to assure that there were no "hot spots". As a result, there was quite of bit of work to be done on the house, including tearing down the old fireplace and completely rebuilding a new one putting new joist in the floors, redoing the hardwood floors, new drywall, etc. The city would not allow us to put in a wood burning fireplace so we went with an ultramodern, professional architect-designed gas fireplace. The design was quite technical and required more than your average contractor to pull it off. We got a recommendation from our realtor friend who came highly rated, Nick Firth of Firth Construction. Because the fireplace would require some rebuilds and we were planning to tear down a couple of walls to open up the kitchen and dinning room to the living room, we were recommended by Nick to take care of all of this before the fireplace was built as to not damage the fireplace when we performed this tear down. Nick took care of all the appropriate permits, structural engineering reports and worked seamlessly with the architect to build a beautiful work of art in our home at an incredibly reasonable cost (and within the predicted budget). I am sure you can find contractors who can do jobs for cheaper but if you want it done with the utmost quality and care (and know that you can sleep at night knowing you are getting an honest deal without any cutting corners), Firth Construction is the way to go. His team were all professionals who kept the work place as clean as possible and they were careful not to track on other parts of the house. They placed plastic walls up around the construction area and maintained these so that we had minimal dust in the rest of the house. In fact, we loved their work on this project so much, we had them do several other projects for us (a new master bathroom and rebuild a wall between two rooms that was taken down by a previous owner). Nick worked closely with us on all projects and was an excellent supervisor to his workers assuring that they were on time and checking the work at each step. We would have to say that Nick and his crew became our friends during the weeks of construction. When my mom recently had a stroke, I had Nick's group come out and build ramps, railings and turn my mom's bathroom into a safe and functional handicap haven. My mom, being an extremely picky individual who doesn't like people messing with her stuff, actually "LOVED" the end product of Nicks team's work (which is a very high complement). Based upon the work he and his team provided, I would use Firth Construction for all of my future construction projects. read more

Nick did a high end renovation of my kitchen and bathroom. He was on schedule (roughly), easy to work with and the workmanship was excellent. His team is professional and knowledgable. They deal with problems as they come up and don't let them turn into major dramas. Moreover, his prices are fair and he works hard to keep projects within the agreed on budget. read more

Nick and his crew do very high quality work. Unlike a lot of contractors, he does not cut corners and really focuses on quality, which clearly shows at the end. Nick himself also is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent problem solver. Very highly recommended! read more
