> John and his subs did an outstanding job on our project. We could not be any happier with the results. John was very meticulous and thoughtful to ensure each phase of the project was completed to our satisfaction with minimal disruption to our daily lives. He and his crew maintained the cleanest construction site we've ever seen! I would highly recommend John and his First Choice Carpentry company for any project you are considering. If you are looking for attention to details, project completion on time and on budget, and a professional, respectful team to work with, go with John Capestany.

> We hired First Choice to transform the front of our home into something we could be proud of, and they did an excellent job.  Our house is featured on their website as the "North Bend Timber Frame Entry",  From design to budgeting options to execution, they were professional throughout the process, and the results we ended up with were fabulous.  They were excellent craftsman -- our sagging roofline was completely straightened out with beams and bracing, and the cedar shake siding and stone work (was subbed out, but to an excellent sub) make our house something we enjoy coming home to every day.  Project management was also excellent, and a large job was accomplished extremely quickly -- they even worked with a local powder coating house on our behalf to get some custom brackets done quickly to keep on schedule.  Highly recommended.

> First Choice Carpentry completed a kitchen remodel for us.  John and his crew were very professional and exceeded our expectations.  We love our new kitchen and can't wait for them to remodel our upstairs bathrooms.

**★★★★ — jaso585, Feb. 2015**

> First Choice, Carpentry is highly recommended!  The project was delivered on time and was managed very professionally.  I was kept informed daily of the progress and what was going to happen next.  Because this was an outside project, there was no impact to my routine or privacy.  I would definitely hire John and crew for my next project.  I love my new front porch - even the neighbors agree it looks like the porch was always part of the house.

> We worked with First Choice Carpentry through two major renovations.  John was always present on site, adjusted to our crazy work schedules, and was meticulous with all the work.  If there were changes along the way, we executed the change orders quickly and efficiently.  He and all the workers were a pleasure to work with and we love the results.

  - Description: We are so excited to share with you our latest project today, a Chef’s Dream Kitchen Renovation in Bellevue. These fantastic clients came to us after going to the home show and talking to a couple of the bigger contractors in the Seattle area. They had a general idea of what they wanted – a designer kitchen with lots of cabinetry, natural light, lots of custom spaces. The initial concept was done by a couple of the area’s top firms, but what the client wanted was a more intimate touch. They want…
