General FAQs

We like to welcome new customers through a consultation that you can set up by yourselves through our website by clicking here or a simple phone call to our office number (864) 266-0632. We also do scheduling through Facebook.
After the consultation is scheduled, one of our specialists will come to the address you provide and review with you their plans for finding a solution to your problem.
During the consultation you may receive an estimated quote from the specialist, but within 24 hours you will receive an email with the official estimate from our office detailing the cost for the specific services you will need. If you feel like you don’t need certain services, just let us know and we’ll give you an updated estimate!
It's entirely free of charge to schedule a consultation and receive a quote.
From that point on, we'll then schedule another appointment to begin work. If it's something we can quickly fix, sometimes leaks and siding repairs can be quick, we may try to fix it on the spot when we come out for the initial consultation. Honestly, it just depends on the situation and the materials needed.
If you need something to be specially ordered, the second appointment will not begin until the materials have been delivered, but we try to plan accordingly around the delivery date and your availability.

Roofing FAQs
-
Generally, First Choice Constructors take 1-2 days to replace shingle roofs depending on roof size, unforeseen weather conditions, or other complications (rotten wood, mold, etc.) may delay our typical 1-2 days range for roof replacement and roof installation.
Please note, that metal roofs will more likely take longer as we have to custom make the metal panels by hand.
-
Absolutely not! Feel free to stay comfy in your home and watch the magic happen, but we do we warn you it may be a little noisy, so just take that into account if you’re sensitive to noise or have small children.
-
Roof discoloration could possibly be a warning sign that your roof is deteriorating. Roof discoloration could also signify algae growing on your roof.
Either way, roof discoloration decreases your home’s curb appeal and, if selling your home, a discolored roof may scare away potential buyers. Roof discoloration can considered the number one red flag amongst home buyers.
-
We recommend you to pick the best roof that fits your situation. Unfortunately, metal roofs cost the most, but should last the longest. Architectural Shingles lasts longer than your regular 3 Tab Shingles, but also costs more. The most affordable roofing option out there is your 3 Tab Shingles, so whatever option best fits your situation we recommend you to get.
If you do choose a roof on the higher-end of the spectrum, we have financing options available if you need it.
If you want to see the difference in prices for metal or shingle roofs, just let our contractor know and he’ll make an estimate for each roofing option.
-
How does the instant estimator work?
Click Get Started, enter your address, and confirm the highlighted roof(s). Then you’ll answer a few quick questions:Roof steepness (Low, Moderate, Steep)
Building type (Residential or Commercial)
Current roofing material
Preferred roof type (Shingle or Metal)
Project timeline (No Timeline, 1–3 Months, or Now)
Interest in financing (Yes/No)
Where to send your estimate (Name, Email, Phone)
That’s it—simple and quick!
-
Yes—but it depends. It provides a solid rough estimate and is often very close. However, properties that are heavily wooded, remote, have multiple structures, or very large/complex roofs may not be fully captured. For exact pricing, an in-person inspection is always best.
