First Response Labor says it is owned and operated by a lifelong Vermonter and has served Franklin and Chittenden Counties for more than 10 years. A recent Google customer said Matt came right away and checked on the issue several times throughout a two-week ordeal. That customer said the problem was ultimately resolved due in large part to his efforts, and that the cost was very reasonable. A 2025 customer named Buddy and Steve and described tiles, paint jobs, a new shower and carpeting at their place. A 2026 customer called Zach and his team methodical, swift, respectful and clean. The work is not only inside the house. A 2024 customer said the company provided commercial snow removal for them that season. A 2024 customer thanked Zachary Deso-Walker and Matt Swann for a last-minute, after-hours call: they got the customer's vehicle towed to them and fixed even though they did not have a tow truck yet. In a January 2022 r/burlington thread, a commenter said First Response Labor out of St Albans is good. Vermont lists its home improvement contractor registration, 174.0000034, as active, held by First Response Labor LLC.

Matt from First Response was such a huge help to me! He came right away, and checked on my issue several times throughout the two week ordeal. My problem was ultimately resolved due in large part to his efforts. I would highly recommend his services. He put my mind at ease right away and the cost was very reasonable.
zach & his team were methodical, swift, respectful & clean
BUDDY and STEVE are the finest craftsmen this side of the MILKY WAY GALAXY. The tiles, paint jobs, and new shower, and carpeting is beyond world class. Coolest guys ever personality wise coming in to fix my place in ages. THEY DESERVE SUCCESS. They work super hard and do PERFECT WORK.
GREAT TEAM TO WORK WITH, ALWAYS ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE !!
This company is exceptional to work with! They provided commercial snow removal services for us this season. They are super responsive and reliable. Matt, Trista and everyone on there team are a pleasure and I look forward to working together again in the future.
