Best Businesses in Arizona

I hired Gorilla Builders to complete an extension for my garage.  It was an unusual job as I was adding onto an existing building.  Thus they had to work to match finishes and the existing structure.  I worked with a lot of contractors prior to the hiring of Gorilla and chose them because they are a builder, not just a contractor.  What i mean by that is most of the people on site were employees of Gorilla, not just subs.  They did a great job and I am very pleased with the quality, pricing and service. The project took a pretty long time to complete, but we had many rain delays which is unusual for Arizona and I changed my mind on the original plan.  I would certainly use the Gorilla again for future projects and am confident that they would do a great job.  Special shout out to their concrete team.  They had to do some pretty impressive changes to the grade and design of my driveway.  they warned me in advance how things could go wrong, and the risks in the design.  But, it turned out great at completion.

Green Home extended our second floor into an unneeded high ceiling over the first floor giving us valuable additional closet space.  They took care of the drywall, painting, electrical, molding, and installing a new door.  They also handled the refinishing and re-staining of the wood floors on the 1st floor.  All in all, great work at a reasonable price.

I messaged this business on Yelp to find out how much it would be to install a door knob...a standard door knob installed on a standard door...and he said to call a number to schedule an appointment.  I thought ok....  So I called the number this morning during their business hours and it just rang and rang.  I messaged Doug back about the unsuccessful phone call and he just responded must've dialed the wrong number thanks.  This is the service I got.  Don't believe me?  Look at the picture of the message thread I posted on here.  His reviews on here are really good, so I'm really confused as to why I got this half-ass response.  I must've caught him on a bad day I guess?

We wanted to upgrade our kitchen with a larger fridge and are lucky to have found Skyler/Lux Remodeling. Skyler assessed and matched our cabinets and executed a clean design seamlessly blending into the space. In addition, he communicated clearly with us on timelines and delivered awesome results.  

The best part of the Lux team was the vibe and communication felt like a friend in the house helping us, and you can't beat that.

Highly recommend Lux and Skyler for all your remodeling needs.

There isn't enough stars for Rob and his crew. His work is absolutely beautiful. If you are thinking about remodeling your home no need to look any further, JVR is the best.

I can't say enough about how happy I am with the work Chris did for us. We needed one of our interior walls opened up to install a window AC unit.  I called countless contractors and since the work we needed was considered small-scale, many contractors wanted to grossly overcharge or not do the job at all.  But Chris treated me with respect and as much significance as I'm sure he treats his high-scale job clients.  His professionalism is just one of his many proficiencies.
Chris was extremely helpful with planning how to do the job efficiently and cost-effectively and he always responded to my questions and concerns promptly.  Chris's work was perfect!  He stuck to the plan and his finished product was flawless.  He even cleaned up after himself, including vacuuming up drywall dust!  I couldn't be happier with Chris and I will be calling him for any work I need in the future.  
Thank you, Chris!

Hired him to redo our bathroom, the estimate was for complete drywall in entire 7x 7 room) and bathtub enclosure which we already had, plus raising some pipes. He showed up, right off the bat he was missing a part, and had the indecency to ask my husband to drive to Lowes to get it for him. He raised our pipes, ended up doing enclosure, which he required my husband's help with, by the way, and ended up doing drywall only around the tub. He free handedly cut the drywall, almost ripping it, no tools involved but the box cutter, he ruined our brand new Delta bathtub enclosure by not cutting the hole for the faucet correctly and completely ignored the fact that he was supposed to drywall the entire bathroom per agreement for the price, which we are now grateful for. He refused to install the shower valve we requested and insisted to keep the one from 1974. At the end of the job, his total price was 500 bucks more than quoted, he actually rounded it up to the full amount of a stimulus check we all just received, for a shoddy, ridiculous job he did, not forgetting the fact that he did less than 50 % of the job we hired him for. Instead of mudding the drywall he installed around the tub, he kept suggesting to us to actually tile it, and we were agreeing to it just to get him to finish and leave our home. We ended up getting him to return the extra amount he charged us, but considering the hideous job he did, and the fact that he did far less than he was supposed to, we are still considering filing a small claims case to get our money back. Couple of days after he ended up calling us telling us that even the pipes he raised were not correct and he used the wrong parts, recalled, demanding to come back and redo it. We refused. My husband is a big DIY guy, but he has a bad back, so i wanted to hire a handyman to help, but we are ripping his entire work and redoing it ourselves, plus we need a brand new enclosure, which will cost us 400 bucks
Please think twice before you hire him, the guy is a swindler with minimal skill. Here are the pictures of his work, which we are now ripping out.

Reply to Michael's comment: We paid you 1200 in order to avoid the fight inside our home which we hold sacred, and we never entertained the idea of tiling our bathroom until you showed up. Even so, you were supposed to drywall the entire bathroom, because one NEEDS WALLS IN ORDER TO TILE THEM! I have news for you, you are not qualified to be a handyman.

We had Ed and company do a somewhat major repair and reconfiguration to an exterior wall at our home in Munds Park. Bottom line: we are very happy with the result! The project took somewhat longer than planned, not entirely within the control of EJK, and there were some minor glitches along the way, but Ed and his team were always willing and able to rectify the situation. It is very hard to find companies that are responsive and reliable in our small community.  Ed was very good at providing input to the design to ensure safety, quality, and appearance. Our experience is that in any major remodel, it takes some oversight by the home owner and constant communication. But, at the end of the day, the agreed-to work was completed to our total satisfaction, exactly to the quoted costs, and any hiccups along the way were properly and promptly addressed.

First of all, I will say that we are not yet finished with our Carefree, AZ remodel. Completion will be in early October and I will follow up with more then, but I think my experience so far is important to publish.

I contacted Mike George at the recommendation of another professional in the Phoenix area. I asked him to come and walk a property that I was buying that needed some updating here and there. Well, a little updating has come all the way to a full kitchen remodel (down to the studs and bare cement), new flooring in a few rooms, paint on every wall, walls were taken down, fireplaces completed remodeled, etc. It's BIG job in anyone's book! I will also tell you that this is not my first remodel. I've redone about a dozen homes, so I have a fair amount of experience, good and bad, with general contractors.

So, what can I say about Mike George and George Construction? He is the consummate professional. He commits and delivers. He is a man of few words. He listens to his client and doesn't always say yes. That's important because, in a remodel, the worse outcome is tearing something out and then realizing that it shouldn't have been torn out at all because the vision cannot be realized. He is not always the cheapest route but you can trust that if he says it will happen, it will.

For me, time is part of the spec! Sadly, on this project, I'VE been the one delaying the project, not George Construction. They work quickly, they keep the job site tidy, and when you walk in during a work day, you are likely to see 10+ people working in various rooms at the same time. That's a pretty tough challenge - directing multiple projects in one space so that the work gets done without interruption. I am not sure how he keeps the subcontractors so well organized but it works!

I highly recommend working with George Construction. More to come when we finish our super not-so-tiny (!) project!!

I love working with Big Q
Very reliable and professional.
It's hard to trust or find a good contractor. I'm so happy to work with him. He helped me with many different projects. He is very patient and try to deliver the best quality and make his customers happy. And so reliable. He always messages me back right on the same day or just a few hours later when I sent him a text.
I recommend his service 100%

We hired RH Design and Build to build out our office inside of our garage. They did a phenomenal job. We couldn't be happier with the results. The communication was awesome and the pricing was under a few other bids that I had requested. We plan on using them again for a larger project down the line.

These guys are great I highly recommend! I had water damage from a leaking roof and flooding. I needed half of my living room ceiling, 1 full wall and 2 quarter walls replaced. They were able to start in a couple days and worked really hard and got the job done in 4 days. Did a great job cleaning up and were in constant communication the whole time. 5 stars

Chris and his team were amazing. They tore down the wall that divided the kitchen and living room. We were told by a different contractor that we couldn't take the wall out since the plumbing was in a post tension slab. But Chris had his guys come x-ray the floor and they moved everything over. Definitely recommend AZ Dynamic Builders!

This company rocks! We collected several drywall estimates and Bill at Drywall Perfection was not only the best price but he seemed the most knowledgable of all the companies we met with. We had knocked down a pony wall and then extended it to a full wall and needed the texture done to match the other half of the wall. We also wanted him to redo the texture that one of the previous owners had done themselves and did not match the rest of the house. Bill came out and took a look at it and gave us a fair estimate. When we decided to go with him he was able to schedule us a few weeks out and then was able to move us up when another job was rainchecked do to a family emergency. On workday Bill and his crew showed up on time and got to work right away. They were all very professional and kind. Even though we had not moved into the house yet and didn't have much furniture in they still laid down tarps and made sure everything was covered. They were able to finish the work in a day and man did they do a nice job. They matched the exsisting texture, made seams and cracks disappear and really made our new wall look like it was a part of the original build with how professional the texture looks. Bill gave us advice on what kind of primer to use so that the texture would set well and last long. The thing we loved the most about Bill is that he is a family man first and a drywall guy second. He was happy to show us pictures of his daughters and talk about their accomplishments. We really appreciate someone who doesn't just live to work but works to live. So, if he doesn't call you back right away, don't sweat it. He will and he will do an awesome job, he's probably just at one of his daughter's dance recitals. Bill and the crew at Drywall Perfection are worth the wait.

My name is Ivy Singletary, and I'm a patron of Canterra Construction. I needed to have a 10x12 'do-it-yourself' outdoor shed built, and I took to Yelp to find a company to fulfill the need.

Katherine, one of the owners, wrote me back immediately, we conversed, and she offered a free consultation for an estimate. She arrived with her staff in tow at the appointed time, fully prepared to address every concern I had previously discussed with her on the phone.

From the onset, I knew I was in competent hands. Canterra Construction was diligent throughout the entire process. Even when the shed arrived earlier than expected, I shot Katherine an email, and she was quick to accommodate the schedule change with an immediate start date. Throughout the process, Katherine was available to meet any need, inquiry, or concern and maintained exemplary response time with her calm, pleasant demeanor.

On the installation days, her team was on time, polite, accommodating, professional, communicative, focused, and meticulous in their work efforts. During the three-day job, her crew left the premises tidy each day upon completion. Words can't capture my appreciation for their professional partnership in completing this endeavor.

I've enclosed pictures before and after my project finalization, and I sincerely hope this review helps someone else in their decision to give Canterra Construction ample consideration. [The painted version is the model photo from which they worked].

I highly recommend them and can attest that they've earned my business earnestly. I am one ecstatic customer pleased by the job they've performed. I would unequivocally hire them again should the need arise.  

I am available for inquiries about my professional recommendation and referral if needed.

Sincerely,

Ivy Singletary

Summer is coming and we all know it's going to get really hot! Insulation in my attic has been on my mind and I reached out to Insulation Contractors of Arizona to see how it will work for pricing and timeline. They were extremely responsive on Yelp, got an estimate quickly and was able to be booked the same week. Got to love that quick service!

When they showed up the day of, they explained to me on to let me know what they are going to do, how long it will take and to even answer some of my silly questions on the process. They finished the entire job under two hours and even cleaned up any mess they left. My attic now looks like a winter wonderland and hopefully my house will be extra cooler this summer. Highly recommend them for insulation! Great job guys!

I needed a new contractor to do some renovations on our new home so we turned to Yelp and and found shepherd contracting. We used Thomas and his team when my new home needed some updating. The communication was above and beyond. We love our new bathrooms and will post updated photos soon!

Mikko is thorough, patient and very professional! I'd recommend mikko llc without thinking twice about it!

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.

Danny recently completed  two projects for me. One was a laminate flooring and subway tile backsplash installation. The other job was replacing two toilets.  Both jobs were completed above expectations. People have even commented  how great the flooring and backsplash  look. Both were completed on time and within the budget. The jobs were left clean every day that his crew was working on them. He finished the plumbing job in a couple hours. Having worked  with construction trades people in the past, Danny is a true professional. He knows how to price a job and get it done within the time frame he quotes.  I will call him first for all my renovation needs. He will probably be busy, but I will wait for the quality work.
