Best Businesses in Arizona

Sal and his team did a fantastic job on our backyard adding about 1100 sqft of pet friendly turf.  He was responsive, punctual, and polite.  Each day, several times during the day they would pause to blow off sidewalks and were mindful of keeping things tidy.  This project took approximately 2 1/2 days.  Sal made sure that no detail was overlooked making the ending product outstanding.  We look forward to using him again for additional landscaping needs.

Wouldn't use this company again

Owner Jed was a nice guy, worked with us on the cost of additional overlays, but we don't like the final product or condition our home was left in.  Dark spots all over the floor that look like stain dripped/pooled.  I understand staining brings out imperfections, but these look like leopard spots.  If more overlay was needed, let's have done that.  Other areas are barely stained.  The test area is now an obvious square in the floor, not blended.  We showed pictures of what we wanted and had to settle for something darker due to overlays, but the consistency of the color is not even close.  If we needed more grinding to get what we asked for, great.  If we needed more overlay or a whole new layer of concrete, great.

At the end, Jed sent a zoomed out picture for my approval that didn't show the spotting (so I guess the final approval is my fault, but he had already put the sealant down anyway).  He asked if we were planning on repainting (No).  They got stain alllll over our baseboards and walls.  We were told that doesn't usually happen.  Not a big deal had they resolved it.  I grabbed them the bucket of trim paint and they did a crap job of fixing it.  Didn't even address/inform me of the walls.  Stain was also spilt on our driveway.  Having been in an AirBnB for 2+ weeks with a baby 7 weeks out, we had no choice but to accept the job that was done and move back in.  Zero time to start over.

In the end, a splotchy stain job with bare spots that permanently looks like a dirty floor as opposed to the clean look we asked for.  If more grinding or finishing concrete was needed, we should have been offered that to get the desired result.  Maybe rolling instead of spraying, I don't know.  But it seems every other reviewer on here got the clean look we wanted except for us.  And all our baseboards and walls are trashed with a lackluster effort to resolve any of that.  Not a finished experience or an end result like anything else we've seen with his other clients or reviews.

Juan came out for an estimate.  Very nice and prompt, however we never received a follow up with an estimate.  It's been about 2 months.  
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

Update to Original Review

I received the quote from Juan this morning (a few hours after original post).   Looks like he did send the quote mid-December 2021, however I never received the quote.   I'm changing my rating and will update if we chose this contractor for our project.

Our pool deck just got done! Daniel came by to do a final walk thru so it's still brand new but so far, we love it! Daniel was very professional! Really nice guy and easy to work with. Very reliable and seems extremely trustworthy. It's always easy to do business with someone you like! He came out several times to give us suggestions/estimates since we were throwing around a few different options for design. Not once did he act like it was a waste of his time and we all know that this economy right now is thriving so it's not like he didn't have other jobs. He would text us and keep us in the loop on when his crew was coming out and what they were going to be doing that day. Communication and keeping your word  is so appreciated and rarely done these days! Can't wait to have a party and show off our new patio and deck! Thank you Copper Sky Concrete! Highly recommend this company!

We are expanding our patio, and needed concrete. We received a few referrals for some companies, but B&D were the cheapest by far. We talk to them on Wednesday and scheduled the work to be done on Friday. It was done in one day, and it looks fantastic. They did an awesome job. I would highly recommend them.

Prompt response and great customer service. My two fountains are now operating well and look great. Reasonably priced as well.

Jorge was very quick to respond and gave me a fair price. He showed up on time and did all that I asked and more. I would definitely use him again.

Parker Concrete is the best!! Amazing quality, attention to detail and incredible prices!

As a general contractor, finding quality subcontractors that get the job done right and fit our budget is imperative. Luckily, we won't ever have to worry about finding another concrete contractor. Parker Concrete is by far the best I've ever used! I'll recommend them to anyone and continue to use them on all of my jobs. Thanks Parker Concrete!!!!

Specialty did pool deck resurfacing, drainage fixing and an acid stain on our patio.  Mel was very courteous, helpful and they got an early start each day which was really appreciated!  He did the job on the timeline that he promised and we loved the final result!  What we requested was a little outside of the box and he still went with our ideas!  Great job, thanks so much!  (Wish I could figure out how to post a picture of the finished product!)

The team at NLKD did an AMAZING job resurfacing our old pool deck that had the original chipped expansion joints and worn surface. The team was professional, quick and we couldn't have asked for a better final product. They even worked with our tile guys to make the drain install between the two seamless! Thanks!!

Building Block Masonry transformed our backyard from a gravel pit to an entertaining oasis! Bob, the owner, had some great, creative ideas that we would have never thought to do, like fire bowls! They also do the work right and ensure what they are installing is there for the long haul...very good quality and service.

Every night we dine outdoors or sit by our new fire pit I am glad we had them do the work!

Metro Concrete installed a complete front patio and overlay on my front driveway.  They were on time and on schedule for every appointment, and the job was done in a timely manner.   I am so happy with the finished product.  Thank you for all your help, making my front yard look amazing.  I will recommend them to everyone.

This is one of the best experiences with construction we have had. This company is responsive, does what they promise, keeps their schedule, is clear and communicates well regarding the job. And finished ahead of schedule.

We used Alll Terrain Landscape to do a major backyard project... We removed all of our lime stone and replaced it with travertine. We are on a half an acre and we did our patio, all of our walkways, all around our pool, a border around the grass area, as well as a picnic area.  It was a huge project... Cost over $30,000. Initially the project went well.  The best thing I can say about the project was the designer... She was super easy to work with, she listened, she checked into the project to make sure it was going smoothly.  However, during the process, before we ever even started the project, we were very clear with them that we had two issues that we needed them to work with us on. First, we do Animal Rescue so at the time we had eight dogs so we needed to make sure that we had access to the backyard for as long as possible so they could go outside to go to the bathroom. We also we're going out of town the weekend after the project started. We made it very clear that the dogs needed to have access to the backyard which meant that they needed at least a small part of the back patio so they could go out the dog door and we would fence off the rest of the area. It came to the time when we were going out of town and right before we left, they laid the travertine right up to the back door but it had not been grouted and could not be walked on.  We called to express our frustration that we could not have been any more clear that we needed to have access to the patio for the dogs to get outside when we went out of town that weekend. They seemed completely unconcerned. The next issue was that on a Friday afternoon, they left all of their trash all over our front yard, left for the day, and were not planning on being back until the following Tuesday as that Monday was a holiday. I'm not talking construction materials... I'm talking about actual trash all over our front yard. I called them from the airport just before I was getting on the plane very upset about this telling them that they could not leave that mess all over our front yard, we have neighbors and we live in an HOA.  Our project manager Adam refused to call me back and instead called my husband because Adam felt that I was too upset. Talk about sexist and disrespectful!  

That was in February. The project ended and we pointed out multiple areas where they they left their pencil marks that they used to mark cuts in multiple places all over the tile. We were told that was normal and the sun would just bleach that out... What?!?!  You don't lay tile that has pencil marks all over it and if you do then you need to remove the pencil marks. The next issue was multiple large areas that they did not grout. They sent someone out to re-grout but still we had major areas that weren't grouted. They sent someone else out to re-grout again but still we have many areas without grout.  

They also spilled so much construction material into our pool.  We had large piles of mortar that turned into cement all over the sides and bottom of our pool.  I told Adam about this and he said our pool guy would just be able to brush this down.  Nope, it was like cement.  Our pool guy tried several times but couldn't get it off.  So, I waited until the pool warmed up enough for me to actually get in the pool and again, this stuff was like cement, it could not be removed.  I stopped calling Adam about this issue because he repeatedly blew me off and went directly to a supervisor at the office who finally sent someone out to clean it up.  We had to drain our entire pool in order to get all this stuff off the bottom of the pool.  So frustrating!

Fast forward to now... Six months later and we still have many, many areas that have no grout. We have multiple areas that have grass and weeds that grow up through the tile because there should be polymer grout in the seams to prevent this from happening. We have cracked tiles. They made a cover for our pool basket but the cover sits up so high above the actual lid that covers the hole where the skimmer basket is that a child stepped on it and it broke in half from the weight.  

I called them on Monday to address these issues and I was told someone would come out on Thursday. It got to be mid day on Thursday and I didn't hear from anyone so I called the office and was told that they had talked to the project manager who said that they were going to wait until sometime later in October to come out and check these issues because it was too hot. I kid you not... A landscaping company in the Phoenix area said that they would not come out and look at our issues because It's too hot.  It's in the low 100s upper 90s this week and next... What about that is too hot to come out and take a look at these issues?  We paid over $30,000 for this backyard and the customer service has been ridiculous. I would not only not use this company again but I would not recommend them.

Tree Trimming Experience:
Montoya's team was very responsive both times I've requested quote from them. Even though I did not end up using them the first time, they were very courteous and quickly provided a quote both times. The second time I requested a quote we decided to work with Montoya's Landscaping.

They did an amazing job cutting down the dates and trimming the hanging branches and the protruding stems from old branches. They did a wonderful job cleaning up, taking away all branches and removed practically all the fallen dates. We've had situations where the clean up was not up to par. They were also true to their quote and were very timely arriving at the scheduled time!

I needed to have a block column replaced on my concrete fence. This company was the most responsive and had the most competitive pricing. They showed up on time and were done in the time they promised and the job looks great!

Contacted Gaje Contracting, LLC for concerns in my foundation and stem wall. First impressions, Jill (receptionist) was prompt and professional when calling me from my online inquiry. The day of the inspection, Cody (the inspector) called with a 30 min arrival notice which was much appreciated. He was clean, professionally dressed, and kind. During his inspection, he was patient, warm, and extremely informational. He demonstrated how and where the foundation was cracking in a 3D visual model on his ipad and educated me on what to look out for as the crack isn't to the point of repair just yet.  While he was here, he graciously offered to tour the outside of the home to inspect my stem wall. I felt 100% at ease and confident in his skills, capabilities, and knowledge. Very impressive experience from start to finish.  Without hesitation would I recommend Gaje Contracting, LLC but I will be returning at the time the crack needs repair. Thank you for all your help and information!! Invaluable experience and knowledge.  - Robyn, Peoria AZ

Quick to respond. Came out right away to give quote and was very reasonable. Nice, personable guy and very knowledgeable. Did exactly what he said. Great quality work and attention to detail. Exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend to anyone needing concrete work!

Someone on Nextdoor recommend Pool Remodeling Brothers. Based on their recommendation I reached out to Jose for an estimate. They were responsive and got our pool fixed within a week of contacting them. We had some cracks in our pebble in the steps and we couldn't get anyone to call us back or do the job because it wasn't worth their time for what they would make on the job. Because they took on our little job we will be using them for our pool remodel in 2-3 years because our pebble is old and wearing out.
