McCurdy Construction

McCurdy Construction was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They did a pretty big remodel for us: completely new kitchen, which included taking out two walls, plus new tile, and some significant plumbing challenges, not to mention the electrical.... We knew we had to make a major change in the footprint of our dark 1980s kitchen in our 1960 house. The kitchen had one window, a confusing entranceway, a dishwasher-sink combo that never really drained. Now we have an open plan kitchen that lets in light, has tons of counter space and is super- easy to clean.

We got bids from three contractors. McCurdy's stood in the middle of the pack. What convinced us to go with McCurdy was that their estimator, Nathan, really took the time to scope out the job, to listen to our concerns and not just to talk, but show and explain to us what the possibilities were. Each subsequent member of their team had the same outstanding communication skills. Amber, the designer, made great suggestions based on our priorities, which she helped us to develop. And various members of the team visited our site three or four times before work began.  Like another reviewer here has said, at no point did we feel that the project was beyond the skills of the McCurdy crew. Rob and Mike did amazing job of keeping us posted as to the schedule. Throughout everything, Derek and Lucas were absolutely meticulous and unfailingly courteous. Of all the various workers, Nick the tile guy was especially good. Everything went smoothly. We would definitely hire McCurdy construction again! Highly recommended!

We had an overall positive experience with McCurdy Construction on the remodel of our master bathroom.  In our opinion, the quality of the workmanship and materials was top notch.  The design phase with Kaitlyn was clear, pleasant, and insightful.  The team that worked on our project - Anthony, Zach, Eric, and all of the others - were polite, professional, experienced and knowledgeable.  We felt like they were up-front with us when issues came up and give us a clear picture of our options.  They were respectful of our home, taking the time to protect the areas that they were working in.  We have been very pleased with the final outcome.

Our only critiques are that communication was challenging at the beginning of the project, as we were promised an initial bid within two weeks' time.  That didn't happen, and it was difficult to establish regular, reliable communication.  It was also estimated when the construction phase on our project began in early January that it would be completed by the end of February, perhaps spilling into March a bit.  There were long stretches when no work or minimal work occurred, and the project was completed in May. This was longer than we were anticipating and created some challenges for our family.  

Overall, we were happy with the outcome and would use them again when the need or situation arises.

And 2 years after the fact they waste customer time responding to a review. While claiming they are timely. God God there are no standards and about 1 shared brain cell amongst the majority of the construction companies I've encountered here!

They came out to estimate a master bath remodel, I asked if 15K would do. They told us a $20K was more realistic, then sent us a $40K estimate...

It's a 12x12 bathroom in a middle class neighborhood. I told the estimator that we we're thinking around $15K for the budget and he said $20K was probably more realistic but their services come with a designer so I said great. A week later I got the estimate... $40,886. For a 12x12 master bathroom... that we hadn't discussed materials on yet... I asked if he mixed us up with another house, and reminded him of our budget and his suggestion of a 20K budget. This was his entire response:

This is an estimate with the pricing I am receiving from my sub-contractors.  The shower is larger than usual.  Adding the barn door and the linen cabinet increases the cost.  I included the tile flooring into the closet.

I've had 4 contractors here to estimate the project now. The next highest bid so far has been $18K. If he didn't want to do the project based on our preliminary visit, why not just say that instead of wasting so much of both of our time? Maybe he just didn't hear a word I said in the 30 minutes he spent in my house...

We contacted McCurdy 2 or so months ago to come out and give us an estimate. Ryan, the estimator, came out to visit. He was friendly and we came up with some good ideas of what to do with our bathroom remodel. I was told that I would receive an estimate two weeks after Ryan came by. It took 6 weeks to get our estimate. I had to contact mccurdy several times but they did get back to me.

I understand things are crazy in the remodel business but we may be waiting for a year or longer when I decide to pick a company so a shorter turn around would've been nice. Pricing was less expensive then I thought it would be. I will update the review if we decide to go with them

We initially contacted McCurdy Construction for an estimate mid February based off of the good Yelp reviews. Estimator Ryan Grannis came out on 2/25/21 and provided us with some ballpark numbers. He asked if his high end of the estimate scared us ($250k) and we said yes, but that we would still like to move forward with a detailed estimate. He said he would have this to us in a week and a half to two weeks tops, and joked that he prefers to work on the bids for jobs that he likes first. I'm not sure where we fell on his preference scale, but future customers beware that if your job does not excite him enough (i.e. size of budget), you will likely get jumped in line. Apparently our $150k didn't quite do it for him.

Two weeks after his initial visit I called him (3/11) to see where he was at with the estimate. He said he would have it to us the next day, and if not, he would come in on that Saturday to make sure we got it. We didn't get it that Saturday and this was the last time I was ever able to get a hold of him.

I called and left him a message the following Thursday (3/18), now three weeks after the initial in-home consultation, but no response. I then called the office and the receptionist said she would email him right away to get his butt in gear.

Now four weeks later and we have still not heard a single word from McCurdy Construction or Ryan Grannis. It is disappointing that this is the most forward facing person for the company and he cannot even return a phone call. We knew this lack of communication from the initial contact representing the company was a red flag of things to come, and we wisely found a much more communicative and professional contractor. We are happy that we avoided this potential nightmare.

I'm sorry, but I would seriously pass on this business. There seems to be a serious disconnect between the sales people as well as the owners. I personally would not trust McCurdy at all due to the quotes I received.  Rip off

It sure was an experience to go through our first-ever remodel while a pandemic hit!  Despite the circumstances of being on lockdown for half of the remodel, the McCurdy crew did a great job.  We love our beautiful new kitchen! They communicated daily and responded quickly to any questions or concerns.  Any hiccups that arose were taken care of quickly and with care.  Leyda was a joy to work with and to get to know.  She was so helpful with design decisions.  In addition, the crew members were kind and courteous.  This company cares about the work they put out and they want their customers to be satisfied.  We will use them again in the future and would recommend them!  They are good people and it's an honor to support such a business.

Just finished 2 make overs in a powder room and guest bath with McCurdy.  What a pleasant experience!  As a designer, the work of the sub contractors is always a concern.  Every sub, every person in this operation from Mike McCurdy, Leyda McCurdy, Greg Streeter, to the Supervisor,
Rob were fantastic!  Clean, conscientious and professional.  I highly recommend them.

I reached out to McCurdy Construction due to all the awesome reviews they had. I was set up with an appointment with Ryan Grannis in the first or second week of February. The whole meeting was a little over an hour, my boyfriend & I were convinced McCurdy was definitely who we were going to choose even before other appointments we had scheduled. Our meeting with Ryan was awesome, he listened to what our vision for the house was (as it was going to be a complete remodel from the inside out) & gave us some great ideas as well. Ryan left us feeling great & we were looking forward to hearing from him within the two weeks he promised for an estimate. Two weeks came & nothing, at the beginning of the third week I reached out to him on Monday, March 1 via email & his response (the same day) was I will have it completed by the end of this week. Sorry for the delay. Saturday came & still nothing. Fast forward to March 25 when I received an email at 2:38 p.m. from Ryan saying My apologies for not sending you the estimate yet. I have had some issues and will be working to get everyone their estimates quickly. My hope is to be caught up in the next two weeks. Well here it is, April 14th & nothing. I had given up on McCurdy after week three unfortunately & still have no GC.
I understand things happen but before our appointment with Ryan ended he went on about how McCurdy is the best in the business when it comes to communication with their clients & that's one thing clients never have to worry about. It's unfortunate & I'm hopeful McCurdy & Ryan learn from this, especially because I saw another review from someone with the exact same experience with Ryan.

I hired McCurdy to do TI work for my new small business and I couldn't have been happier with my choice.  I had the unusual circumstance of beginning construction right as the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown hit. I was worried that my construction would be significantly impacted, but that didn't happen. They rolled with the punches and adjusted things as necessary to keep the project as on track as possible given the situation.  I really appreciated the attention to detail and responsiveness the project coordinator Greg displayed!  Any issues that arose were dealt with promptly and fairly.  The crew doing the work were fantastic as well - friendly and they do great work.  My salon looks awesome and if I get the opportunity to open another location I will absolutely call McCurdy!

We had someone come out and after looking at our home bathroom/etc. they promised a quote within two weeks but we never got one... I even reached out to the guy and they never responded. Seems like they don't need the work...I would also suggest using mouthwash so you don't smell like cigarettes around potential customers.

We had purchased our home years ago and have been gradually updating it as time went along. McCurdy Construction has helped as achieve our house goals over multiple projects now and we can't thank them enough! Nathan, Tom, Derek, Lucas, Greg, Tom, Rob are all hard working, efficient team members that do all they can to ensure that you are happy! We pretty much have a whole new home because of their work and they do it at a great price and don't sacrifice quality or experience.

We recently completed our bathroom remodel with McCurdy Construction, and we're very happy that we did.  It took us nearly a year to find the right contractor for the job- having met with several companies before finally finding McCurdy.  It's refreshing to find a group of people who love what they do, listen to your ideas, provide great feedback, work with you to design a stunning home, and then follow up with great project management to keep things on schedule, on budget, and looking fantastic.

From the beginning, Greg Streeter listened to our needs, worked with us to hone our visions, and stuck with us until the end.  We really appreciated his insight and prompt responses.  

Leyda Herring McCurdy has an excellent eye for design, and was instrumental in developing out the design of our remodel.  

And Rob Lara, one of the best superintendents we've ever had the pleasure of meeting, was on the ball, responsible, communicative, and helpful. He's one of those get it done guys that can tackle anything you set in front of him.

Everything - from design to installation - was professional and in keeping with how we feel a business should be run.  Even the follow through with a gift basket hand picked to fit the needs of our growing family was not only appreciated, but cemented our perceptions of McCurdy as a high class operation with integrity.

It's hard to go wrong with a company like that.

We added a bathroom with an outside entrance so there wouldn't be a wet trail from the pool through the house. We also remodeled our kitchen and laundry room. Not having a place to cook or wash clothes for months is no fun. As a result, I kept the pressure on. No problem for McCurdy. The workers were conscientious professionals and so were the subcontractors. We were always able to connect with project managers. They even sent an email every night describing what the crew would be working on the following day. Best of all, the finished product is top-notch. People who knew what they were doing installed the cabinets, countertops, floor and bathroom tile, lighting, plumbing and the finished painting. No detail was too small to be addressed. And the project came in on budget!

We vetted multiple remodeling companies before we selected McCurdy Construction- and SO GLAD WE DID. We couldn't have asked for a better experience than working with the amazing & talented group like this company. This was a total remodel of our 20 year old Master Bath!  From the very beginning, Mike, Leyda, Greg and their team were  Open, Creative, innovative AND Patient with all our questions and requests ! No matter the point of the project- at the end of the day, you could eat off the floor. Their customer service is one of best we have ever experienced! Each of member of the crew put our concerns and needs at the top of their list-making sure that everything expected was in place - and more! The high quality of  the products matched their customer service! The schedule was paced on our timeline and on the mark from beginning to end.        
We are their number one fan club!

I have 5 rental homes that need to be completely updated and remodeled (kitchens, baths, flooring, painting, new fixtures) and am ready to start on the first one now with the others to follow serially upon completion.

After finding this firm here and on Angie's List, with their consistently good reviews on both sites, I called and spoke with Mike the owner who referred me to his estimator Tom. After some phone tag, Tom came out (on time) to do the estimate. Tom within a few minutes became quite disinterested in the job stating that since I had already picked out tile, vanities, some fixtures (but NOT kitchen cabinets, countertops, many fixtures, etc.) there was not enough profit margin in it for his firm and they did not do mostly labor and supplies projects. (He also said they did not really do flips'.  I told them these were rentals of my father who passed recently and that my sister and I would be keeping them but wanted to update them.)  

Anyway, I was surprised by his lack of interest because when I described the job to the owner, I was not told that they primarily supply (and mark up) purchases with their remodeling- after all, I was not in need of an interior design firm. And despite having 4 other houses to remodel, he just was not interested in basic contractor work unless they could sell most of the materials and so he declined to proceed looking at the house after a few minutes and said he was not interested and would not bid.  Only later after reading some reviews on Angie's List did I find I was not the only potential customer to be told this after the fact.

In trying to find a contractor for these projects, I did run into firms with a  similar business model yet was told this fact at the initial inquiry thereby revealing that we would not be a good fit business-wise. I wish McCurdy would have done the same as better initial communication would have saved us the both time and expense of a pointless meeting.  

Clearly, given the reviews, this firm does good work at presumably acceptable prices and for those who need a turn-key, full service design and build approach, McCurdy should be considered.  For others like myself who do not need that much design help and wish to have a wider choice of materials at a less marked up price, there are other firms that are a better match.

I wanted to give a shout out to Justin, who moved here from Austin Texas three years ago, and drove 33 miles from Tempe to Peoria because I needed help. I think this is a small example of the kind of service you can expect to receive from this company. Justin, thank you for taking the time to come out and answer all my questions. I really appreciate it! Denise

This company is the best for all of your construction needs. I don't recommend many companies, but this is one I believe strongly in.

We used them for a very big remodel that included adding a new bathroom and bedroom. We chose them because they were by far the most professional company as it relates to the bidding process, and their bid was highly competitive to others. The estimator Greg was a pleasure to deal with the whole process and was always open to changes or challenges to line items on the bid.

The work team was very friendly especially Rob, Juan and Derek. They kept us up to date with their schedule and cleaned up everyday which was nice because we were still living in the house.  At no time did I feel like anything encountered was out of their control and they didn't nickel and dime us with unknown issues.

At the end of this, they let sent in a professional cleaner to make sure they left no trace, and let us know that they stand behind their work and would fix any issues if they come up later.

I wouldn't hesitate to call them again to do any work on our home no matter how big or small. I know they will take care of us.

Of the three contractors that we have used for various large projects over the years, McCurdy is leaps and bounds the best.  Great communication, fantastic remodel ideas, keeps to the timeline, attention to detail and amazing results.  The entire team from estimate to final detail work are of extremely high caliber.  I highly recommend!!!

McCurdy Construction did some work at my house and I'm very happy with how it all went, and with how things turned out. Good attention to detail and finished in a timely way.

Justin came out to determine an estimate for us within 30 minutes of my phone call to them. He was thorough and provided us with our estimate quickly. He followed up with us in an appropriate manner. They were kind, knowledgeable, and professional from the moment I called them. Unfortunately, our home owners insurance did not agree with our estimate. However, it truly was close to another one we received from a different company, so it was a fair estimate and I won't hesitate to contact them again in the future if a need arises.

After having a horrible experience with another contractor and being left hanging with a relatively tight timeline, I found McCurdy on Yelp and called the office. I talked to Mo who was so sweet and helpful. She asked me what was going on, listened, and felt for our situation and was hopeful they could help. After such awful communication, it was amazing to find someone that understood. She told me that someone would call me the next day to set up at time to come out. Justin ended up calling me the same day to go over the project and schedule a time to come out. He took the time to talk to me about everything we were looking for and explained everything very clearly. He was honest about how their business runs and that they always take the time to ensure quality so they aren't going to be the quick fixers. We ended up not hiring McCurdy due to our timeline needs but I will absolutely consider them in the future for projects that are not so time sensitive. The honesty and communication I received was how I wish every company/contractor operated!

McCurdy Construction remodeled our guest bathroom and did an amazing job. My husband and I had never undertaken a project such as this and McCurdy was the ideal company to work with as they guided us through the process, never rushing or pressuring us and allowing us to take on as much or as little of the work as we wanted. Leyda was excellent in helping us decide on tile, fixtures and colors when putting this bathroom together. She listened to what I liked and was careful to listen and take my tastes into account when showing me decorating options. Greg Streeter was amazingly prompt and professional from the very first time we were in contact. The contractors laid down plastic to protect their path into and out of the house. Their work area was kept clean and tidy every night when they left.
Coco did a beautiful job on our tile work and Rob, who headed up the project was always prompt in returning my calls and keeping me informed regarding what was going on with the project so I didn't even have to ask.
I have recommended McCurdy Construction to several coworkers and we are in the process of using them again for another small project in our home. We will continue to use them as we make modifications to our home and yard.
McCurdy Construction's professionalism, courtesy, willingness to listen and wonderful work really makes them absolutely brilliant to work with.

McCurdy Construction just completed my bathroom remodel-- I could not be more pleased.  All the work was done per schedule and quoted cost.  The staff covered my floors and kept everything clean while tearing out a wall and all my old bathroom fixtures from bathtub to medicine cabinet. Electrical outlets and fixtures were replaced along with tile that needed to be re-laid where a wall was removed.  Throughout  the whole process, the room was clean when they were done for the day and I knew what was going to be done the next day.  I was very happy with the communication throughout the process and can not say enough about the attentiveness of the staff.  My bathroom looks amazing! I would highly recommend McCurdy Construction and will use them on my next project without hesitation or reservation.

McCurdy Construction was excellent from start to finish.  I renovated my master bath and walk in closet.  Part of the room was taken down to the studs, so it was a very extensive remodel.  The crew was excellent.  Not only were they friendly and respectful, but genuinely nice people.  Secondly, they were extremely cautious and careful not to do any damage to other areas of the home that had to be traversed on a daily basis.  Third, they did an amazing job of the remodel and had some of the most talented and thorough subcontractors as a part of the project.  Finally, these guys weren't here to just get it done.  They noticed when there were issues adjacent to the project that needed a touch-up or adjustment and would always ask, would you like me to XXXX while I'm here?.  This remodel exceeded my expectations (and my budget) but the budgetary part was my fault!  It should also be noted that Leyda was an awesome partner in figuring out the design.  She is a great consultant, heard what I wanted and helped to guide me to the best decisions based on her experience.  Well done!  I'll see McCurdy when it's time for the kitchen facelift...

Mike McCurdy is the kindest and most professional contractor that you could have the pleasure of working with.  He works really hard and goes the extra mile to ensure a job well done!

The company performance was EXCELLENT!  They did what they said they would do on schedule and on budget. First rate team from management to crew. Could not have been a more pleasant or professional!

Mike is the best!  His team was professional, came on time, finished the job and were great to work with.  Mike has a complete team of contractors and vendors so that my kitchen remodel was easy to complete with all the finishing touches.  Would recommend him in a heartbeat!

McCurdy Construction is who to go to when looking for a contractor. Mike's professionalism makes working with him so easy and worry free. He made sure that the job was completed in a timely manner and that its just what I was looking for in my remodel. If you're looking for a contractor who knows what he's doing and does an outstanding job, go to McCurdy Construction. Highly recommended! If you want to like go with Mike!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike McCurdy & his team. Highly professional with an excellent crew who are personable & skilled with their work. Mike has worked on two separate projects in our home at different times. Our first project entailed remodeling the family room & fireplace. Mike made suggestions which were incorporated in the design& were extremely pleased with the results. Our second project entailed a total remodeling of the kitchen. His in house designer Leyda worked with us along with Mike on selection of  cabinets,granite, tile & stone to make our kitchen a show place. Both of them guided us through the process & made suggestions that turned out great. Anytime an issue came up Mike made sure it was corrected immediately. He is proactive & does not waste anytime addressing things. We plan to use McCurdy Construction on our next home project -bathrooms. We have already recommended Mike to several of our friends. His reputation is well known in our N. Scottsdale development.
