Project: Remodel 90s kitchen

Eric and Angela were very helpful with the design of our kitchen. They are very easy to work with, have a lot of good ideas, and have good pictures of remodels they have completed. This helped with explaining their ideas. They listen to your ideas and try to work them into the space.

The staff showed up at 8:30 am every weekday with only a few exceptions.  We were notified of those exceptions at least a day ahead. They were very helpful as we were living in the house while the construction was in process. They tried to keep the place livable. They also closed off rooms where they were working with plastic sheeting so as to keep the construction dust down.  They cleaned up every evening before leaving.

The trades showed up when scheduled.  We did not have many week days where work was not in process.

The time estimate was six weeks, and the actual was five weeks.  We love our new kitchen and it is very easy to work there.  We were so impressed with this project, we are having them back to remodel the shower area in the master bathroom.

Don't look any farther in your search for a general contractor! Can't say enough about the professionalism of Golden Bear Contracting. He does all the work himself, no subcontractors. We remodeled our home in Gilbert that our son and daughter-in-law live in: full bathroom remodels in the master and guest bath, and installation of a new tile floor in the laundry room. Mike was there promptly every morning, worked hard and finished the job in the timeframe promised. He cleaned up as he went and we couldn't be happier with the result!

One of the best things about this company is that he came out and gave us ways to save money as he was measuring for the estimate. (We had one company that didn't even want to come out and instead requested that we send pics and do all the measuring ourselves...and they came in much higher in their estimate!). Mike put together an estimate that was very reasonable, including averages for ALL materials. It was perfect because we then had the option to purchase all our materials, with no pressure and managed to come in under budget. Some items we chose were higher in price than his included materials budget, and many were lower. This made the whole process much easier and we got exactly what we wanted.

Since we are out of town, Mike kept us informed every step of the way, with new revisions to the invoice as we chose materials.

He is very honest, dependable, and we will definitely hire him again should we decide to do further work on the house. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Amazing customer service! I was having trouble installing a ceiling fan on my own, and I called them up to have them come out for service. Instead the man I spoke with recognized that I was very close to finishing and just talked me through the rest of the install over the phone. I was very surprised. This type of service is hard to find and very appreciated. Thank you so much for your excellent customer service. I will definitely use them again on any future home renovations.

Did a pool remodel.  James and Stephanie were great to work with. They were always available when I had questions during and after the job.  Their crew did great work.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!  Very highly recommended.

I can't say enough good things about Mark and his crew from M2. I feel like I got great value on an incredible bathroom remodel.

He presented us with a couple different layouts and options to fit our budget as well as some suggestions we were not even considering based on his experience. The results were spectacular.

I have done some home remodeling in the past and struggled with communication, but that was definitely not the case here. They were honest about the timeline, what the job would entail, and what to expect throughout the process.

If you're looking for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, look no further. We love our new bathroom and feel like it significantly improved our home value.

These guys did the floor, backsplash, and shower surround for our bathroom remodel.  Excellent work, clean, and very professional.  Could not be happier with their service.   Immediate response and friendly service over the phone a year later when I called back to have them come do some repairs in another part of the house.   Top notch!

We were fortunate to find Brent and Jake from a neighbor six years ago.  We were upgrading our home.  The neighbor said, You have to hire McLintock, they are the best.  We did, and she was right, they are the best.  They have done work for since the upgrade.  Their work is excellent, and they have a network of subcontractors who have been with them for many years, and all have the same integrity and work ethic as Brent and Jack.  My wife and I highly recommend McLintock Builders.

Mike repaired the fountain on our front porch. He said he'd be here at 8 am to analyze the problem. He was here at 8 am. He said he'd email me a quote after he found the parts he needed. I got the quote, which was very reasonable, that afternoon. He then said he could come back at 8 am 2 days later to do the work. He was here 2 days later at 8 am. The fountain works perfectly, and the worksite was left pristine. I'd use him again in an instant, and will heartily recommend him to friends and neighbors.

Bryce at HBO Construction was great! He was responsive, on time, and did great work on our bathroom shower.

After several estimates, we knew Bryce was the guy for the job. He was fair and knowledgeable without giving us a crazy dollar amount to do the job.

10/10 will be recommending him to our friends and family!

Experienced, competent, reliable, performs high level quality projects consistently, no stress the entire remodel, great communicator throughout the process, fantastic reputation (came highly recommended by our neighbor and we highly recommend them to you).  Can't say enough good things about them!

We needed new screens for most of our home windows as well as a sliding glass door. After research, we decided on Screens Unlimited due to the excellent reviews on Yelp. We were impressed with this highly-rated company. Nadya, the outstanding office professional, was efficient, patient, kind and helpful. She was responsive, accessible and accommodating while making us feel appreciated. Travis, who was courteous, thorough and proficient, arrived promptly and took perfect measurements. The screens were fabricated in 10 days and installed by Mike, who was very friendly, professional and efficient. He installed them quickly and he had a great attitude. It was an incredible staff that cared about all aspects - the purchase, installation and delivery of the product. We commend the owners and the entire staff for providing quality products, workmanship and customer service!

I recently had my Outside patio tiled.  Julio did a great job.  He was on time everyday and was neat & tidy.  Sean, the owner came every morning to check on things and it was a very efficient process.
I will definitely call him for my next project!

We've used Affordable Home Improvements twice for a patio & garage light installation and then for flooring to be replaced from termite damage.  Both times communication & service were excellent with extremely reasonable pricing.

Will continue to use them in the future for all our home improvements!

Contacted AZ Dreamscapes to come out and give us a quote on our backyard. We were looking to have grass w sprinklers and curbing done along with an area of pavers. Scott did contact us and set up a time to come out. He viewed the yard and we gave him a rough sketch of what we wanted. He stated he'd have a quote for us in around 48 hours. This was on April 8th. After about a week or so of not hearing anything, both my spouse and I reached out in two separate emails to see if a quote was ready yet from main website and stated that we had not heard anything since Scott came out. Never received a call back, email response, nor quote. Very disappointed with lack of communication and not following through. Better to just state you're too busy to take on a job or aren't interested...why even bother coming out and wasting everyone's time

I contacted Geremey due to an aging roof that was in desperate need of repair. I contacted 3 different companies, all who wanted me to wait for a few weeks just for them to come out. With the rain we've had, I couldn't wait that long. Geremey was very responsive and understood my needs. He came out that afternoon and had the job done quicker than I anticipated. My neighbor is a home inspector and he even said this is one of the best roofs I've seen. Needless to say, if you need a roof and need it done correctly, Geremey with Elite Construction Services should be your go to!

Ken Armstrong of Armstrong Innovations:  FRAUD ALERT for custom kitchen and bathroom remodel.  The old common contractor practice of fraud is alive and well, and I found it in Anthem, AZ.  He's an underskilled laborer who took our money and hired another equally unskilled subcontractor, and together, they ruined all 3 of our expensive countertops.  Ken's highly distracted and disorganized, and has enormous difficulty staying on any task, so he didn't, with us.  He instead started something else, and never quite finished anything he started, but he had no problem asking for lots more money for his shoddy workmanship while overcharging by thousands.  He kept and hid the receipts to himself, despite more than one request for them, leading to suspicion about his questionable business practices, since he already lied to us about his availability and about showing up for work, and he had covered the damaged wood he installed in our home with blue tape over it.  He called this custom design.   We would soon discover that we had legitimate reason to confirm our suspicion was true, and to fire him, to prevent further financial loss. It's no big deal not to show up for work, he said, with a childish, unprofessional excuse, representing the best of what I saw of his business acumen.  He's excessively arrogant about what he does badly, and he did it all badly.   From the brown water discharge from my new plumbing he installed, to the white tile he poorly grouted and failed to correct, to the stone flooring he discolored with his dirty sealant, to the damaged and scarred wood he installed, to the pocket door he hung wrong per installation instructions he didn't read, to the countertop fiasco with no one using published installation instructions, resulting in uneven and unlevel and unusable surfaces, and to all other numerous issues he created for himself, he blamed his blatant installation errors on everything else BUT himself, offering faulty logic for his costly shortcomings, never admitting he grossly misrepresented his capabilities, and himself as a reputable businessman. He walked off our job during his subcontractor's countertop installation, so he could bid on another project.  I watched as no level and no measuring tape was used, resulting in a sloppy countertop I can't use because of gross height and leveling deficiencies.  That's just crazy, he said, when I inquired about his need to measure the range for its custom height requirements in preparation for the countertop installation.  Putting countertops on before putting cabinet doors on was one of his very bad judgments.  Trust me, he said about his countertop subcontractor, whose last name and business card he withheld from us when asked, so that we could follow up with our Silestone 15 year warranty that we will never see that he failed to produce for us after we paid for the material and the installation.  While he was hired to work with us, he was evasive and unavailable.  He offered us whatever we asked for in our custom design, then told us he had lots of experience with it, then left us completely inconvenienced with poor attendance, poor quality work, and failing to honor his word of being available to us for his assistance with our custom project.  He offered to spend some of his contracted time picking up and delivering our tub, toilets, and larger purchases for us, but, he left us to do it for ourselves.  He said that he would help us with design ideas and specific material selections for our custom design, but didn't, then rudely blamed us for delaying him, leaving us hanging and causing us further delays, such that we had to ask for the face to face meeting with him in writing, that he refused.  He refused to guarantee his work, and then insulted us before asking us for 4500 more dollars the next day.  He made excuses for the 3940.00 problem he created with the countertops, then walked away from the project.  Completely abandoned with no contact for over two weeks, he left us with poor workmanship and leaky plumbing and no cabinet doors.  He cashed our 5000 dollar check without depositing any of it.  When is Ken coming back from vacation? asked one of his subcontractors, during the time period he was given to fix the identified errors in our home, while time ticked away towards his given deadline.   His lack of integrity and ability to follow through with his approaching deadlines describe his style.  You deserve to know in advance that he doesn't make his own cabinet doors, but he never told us that until just before he abandoned the project, when we confronted him about his poor quality work and asked for that face to face meeting that he refused.  This dog is not worth the filing fee to take to court, but I'd love to show a jury the pictures and video of what he thinks is good work. Underskilled, unethical, and blatantly dishonest is what we experienced. Countertop subcontractor works for business whose license is suspended by ROC.

If I could give a zero rating I would. I hired red ram construction too Install 700 ft.² of tile. After nine days they still had not completed the job, they Laid the tile uneven, left grout all over the floor, and cabinets. We now have to remove the tile and start over. In addition they never cleaned up after themselves.  I would not hire this contractor under any circumstances whatsoever.
