First Choice Construction has been re-siding, replacing windows, and rebuilding bathrooms on the North Shore for about a decade, and its record shows almost nothing else: every one of the 38 reviews on file, running from 2016 through mid-2026, is five stars. Owner and manager Chad McDougall runs the crew personally according to reviewers, who describe him and his team - Greg, Wes, and Brian come up repeatedly - as familiar faces on the same streets, sometimes doing multiple houses on the same block. The reviews describe a wide range of exterior and remodeling work: full-house residing, batches of window replacements (one job replaced 13 windows and a slider), entry doors, composite decking, and full bathroom renovations down to the studs. A recurring thread is repeat business - several reviewers say they've hired the crew two or three times over the years for different projects, and a 2024 job involved chasing down a persistent window leak that multiple other contractors had failed to diagnose, which First Choice traced to failed siding and window flashing and repaired. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active and state-verified, and its manager separately states holding a Massachusetts construction supervisor's license. The Better Business Bureau grades it A+ and lists it as accredited with 35 years in business; the website also states it is a VSI-certified vinyl siding contractor with factory-trained installers. Google shows a 5-star average from 40 ratings. There is no complaint anywhere in the written record to weigh against this - the reviews span a decade of siding, window, door, deck, and bathroom projects with a consistent theme of on-time crews, clear communication, and clean job sites. For exterior work or a bathroom remodel on the North Shore, this is about as clean and long a track record as a homeowner is likely to find; the main thing worth confirming is scheduling, since a company with this much repeat business tends to book out.
Chad and crew did a fantastic job with my bathroom renovation. They were on time, professional and very responsive whenever I had a question about the job. I would highly recommend them for any home improvement project. I will be reaching out to them for future home improvement projects.
We have worked with Chad and his team twice, both times replacing aging windows. Their products are of the highest quality (windows were from a manufacturer in the region), the quality of work has been exceptional, Chad and his team are very easy to work with, and the pricing is always reasonable - I would even say inexpensive in relation to high quality of work. We will keep going back to First Choice for our home projects.
Chad and his team went above and beyond for my family during our months long renovations. We would highly recommend them for any home improvement project!!!
Chad and his team did excellent work on our siding, gutters, and repairs. The crew was thorough, helpful, and responsive. We're very pleased with the results and would highly recommend them.
These guys installed a door in my home in Malden. They did a great job, finished quickly and cleaned up. They were polite and I would have them back in a minute for any job I have.
