Jon at GCS Woodworks provides great service and completes projects well. He repaired a side gate at my home, which I need to have secure due to the pool in the backyard. Jon was punctual, completed the repairs as scheduled, and was really courteous and polite. Out of the several quotes I received from various companies, Jon took the time to explain the repairs needed, answered all my questions, and reviewed the gate. He is knowledgeable and courteous. I would definitely call him again for future projects.

WOMEN BEWARE
Do not book services through them. At first, this family business seemed like a great option for me, as I needed to use my vinyl for them to repair and redo my stairs. As a first time homebuyer, I was lost and really needed guidance about what to do.
1. The stairs originally had carpeting with a skirt. Where the skirt was, the drywall was damaged from pulling the carpet off. They told me to replace drywall and THEN they would do stairs. I did that for $500 and then when they finished the stairs, they left the drywall completely damaged again (see pic) the risers were also left completely unpainted, saying they don't do drywall or painting. I ended up paying $470 more again after the project was complete to finish paint and drywall. I later learned that a stair skirt would've solved my issues. I was never offered that and now it's too late. Why was the job not finished??? Why wasn't I given my options of a stair skirt?
2. My initial project start date was pushed out over two weeks because the installer had a family thing. When they gave me notice, it was for the next day at 7am. I WFH and had to move a lot of meetings (which is okay! I would rather get this project done). Well at 12pm I had an important meeting that could not be moved, I asked the installers to take a 1/2 hour break. I got a scathing email from Marilyn basically saying you don't tell our workers to stop working! -- how do you let your installers work partially outside in AZ without a break....
3. I had to bring my own materials to their office (40 min away) and had to get things measured 2x. I also ordered a doorway reducer which was completely left off the project and never made. When I asked about it, they made me try and measure the doorway and bring them materials--isn't that a contractors job? How am I supposed to measure the height of tile vs vinyl in a doorway (which is millimeters) isn't this part of the service?
4. Installers were not made aware of a specific area to do, so when I said yes that part is included I got yet another scathing email from Michael / Marilyn saying that I was telling the installers to do extra work. They clearly have communication issues.
5. When installers came back to redo some vinyl that was lifting, they tried to guilt trip me, saying we did this area and didn't know we were not supposed to do it so we never got paid -- sounds like their employers problem.
6. When I tried to get them to come back and fix that spot, Michael called me and absolutely BERATED me on the phone. I'm not kidding-- my whole family witnessed it. He yelled at me saying I was trying to cheat them out of the project. What I was simply trying to say (and could not get out because the owner Michael was literally SCREAMING at me. ) was that I was not going to pay until they came back and made a reducer and fixed the lifting vinyl. They wanted me to again run the materials up and measure myself for their communication lapse (I have emails to prove I included a reducer). He stated he would send his lawyer after me if I didn't pay ASAP --again project was not complete.
To the installers: please create your own business on Thumbtack so you don't have to work for this company. You work hard and seem to not be treated as well as you could.
Overall, if you are a women or someone who does not know a lot about Millworking, please please look to book elsewhere. I am traumatized from Michael screaming at me and the communication between multiple family members and installers for this project was an absolute mess. I ended up letting them know that I could only email from them on. STAY AWAY!!!!! Get everything in writing!!!!!

We recently had JAG Home Services install a wide dog gate in our home. We were very impressed with the professionalism and service provided by Jaime. He was prompt even texting to say he was on his way. He did an excellent job of installing the gate and was very thorough cleaning up when he was finished.
We highly recommend JAG for your home repairs!

In a bathroom remodel project that was otherwise fraught with problems, the piece with which Krieger Cabinets was involved, was a true bright spot. Whew, something went right. They made a custom cabinet, an oversized medicine cabinet for us, to go in a bathroom remodel. It was made using a mirror from the 1960s. (That required extra care. If that broke, replacing it was not easy. they did NOT break it.) The wood they selected was perfect, beautiful maple. The final product fit perfectly, they followed the specs to the tee. And they did it all within budget and on time. Can't ask for more than that! I highly recommend this shop.

After communicating Chris from Mr PhxIt returned today 9/6 as we scheduled! Chris replaced the newly fallen roof tile. He did reglue pigeon spikes (these were the 2 main concerns of mine). Additionally, Chris did glue an entire extra row of spikes (not there initially) to keep the birds from roosting at the entry door. All in all, Chris PhxIt did my roof repairs, tune up, and return visit for a successful job. Thanks, Chris.

Needed a frame for a pocket door. The ones at the Home Depot and such seemed pretty cheesy to me to I looked around a bit and found these guys. What an elegant and sturdy piece of design. Easy to install, operates beautifully. Worth every penny, they delivered it to the house.

Hired Diamond Hammer to complete some buyer requested repairs on my house while it was in the process of being sold. I used them because they were able to complete a variety of home repairs from electrical to pool plumbing. Chad was very professional and completed repairs efficiently and at the cost they originally estimated.

I'm not rating work performed by this company, because twice, this guy Mike Ortiz was a no show. The first time, I had scheduled about a week prior, he picked the day and time. So on Sunday, February 20th at 10:00am he was supposed to come to my home. At 10:30, I sent him a text saying I guess your not going to make it today?. About 45 minutes later he called and asked if we had an appointment? I told him yes we did at 10:00am. He first acted like he forgot or didn't know about the appointment, then said he wasn't feeling good and asked if we could reschedule. I told him sure. (I don't usually reschedule with people who are no-shows but I did. He said how about next Friday at 10:00am? Even though I really didn't want to wait that long, I told him okay that was fine. Then on Thursday mid day, I saw he had called my phone, but didn't leave a message. Thursday at 9:30 pm he sends me a text telling me he has to cancel because he has, you can probably guess, COVID!! He said he would call me in the morning to reschedule. Of course I never heard back from him. I mean, he could have had someone else take over his schedule or given me a name of one of his colleagues, or something! I just don't understand the mentality of some people. It seems like nobody wants to work anymore! I mean, it probably would have been around $1,000 for the things I wanted done, they are not difficult things and I would do them myself if I wasn't still recovering from 9 disk spinal fusion. I don't usually like writing unfavorable reviews because I understand things happen, but come on guy!! Really?!!!
