Best General Contractors in Phoenix, AZ

If you're looking for skilled, trustworthy, reliable professional who takes pride in his work, and goes the extra mile for his clients, you want Russ as your handyman.

The wall mounted a/c in our rental had been leaking behind the wall and some mold had started to grow before we realized. Russ came over - ON A SUNDAY - and proceeded to spend the rest of the day doing custom drywall patching, baseboard replacement, repainting the wall, waterproofing the area, and installing the new unit. It looks brand spankin' new. Russ did top notch work all day, on a weekend. Good luck finding that kind of service.

I was impressed, and brought him out for more work on a different property. He SAVED ME THOUSANDS of dollars in floor prep work that other handymen were trying to get me to do. Russ gave me honest, forthright feedback, rather than take the job and the quick money, because he cares for his clients and understands partnership. I'll be calling him again. And again. You probably should, too.

I wish I had a better experience to report here. I sincerely hoped to recommend this contractor but am unable.
We were sold on a lot of things, few of which ended up being accurate. One of the most disappointing was being told they use Vets. Based on my experience this ended up being untrue, unless they were veterans of Mexico's military - I didn't ask that. 2 of the 12+ people that walked in and out of my home were Vets. One was the owner's brother. The two Vets were supervisors and worked a combined 5 or 6 hours over a 2 week period. Don't bank on them bringing vets in to do the work. That was essentially a sales tactic and it felt deceitful.
The team they bring in is very nice but speaks little English making communication challenging. We were told to have everything moved and ready by 8am on a Monday but no one showed up until we called, then they came at 10:30. They ripped the floor out in two hours and then said they forgot their tools and had to leave. They didn't come back. I also heard they hadn't been paid from their last job and feel that was part of their hesitation to do more than destroy my floor and leave for the day.
The next day no one showed up again and we had to call for a status update. When the crew finally arrived, they worked for 3 hours and told me they forgot their tools and had to leave. That leaves me to question the work overall ethic here. 16 hours of work time available Monday and Tuesday yet they only utilized about 5.5 hours total. Not the best start and the Super was rarely here to check up on things.
We had to pay for the dumpster and it was hosted in the driveway. However, every day we found someone else's house trash in there - someone else's construction garbage was being dumped into the container we had to pay for under contract. Why was I renting this for his other clients, or why didn't they inform us that is was shared? It was very unusual to me, to have trucks bringing garbage INTO my neighborhood and dumping in my driveway receptacle.
Next, the tile chosen was the faux wood planks. They blotted the planks in 3 places and set them. Once dried we easily ran knives underneath the tiles to show them the enormous gaps in coverage. Only 60% of the tile had thin-set and the potential for cracks over the next 5-10 years is huge and upsetting. We went to two different tile stores and without leading them into an answer asked them how to best lay such tiles. We asked if running silverware underneath the laid, dried tile gaps was in any way an acceptable coverage method and they said NO NO NO. We brought this up to the contractor. He said they were wrong and just trying to sell us something, although that wasn't remotely what transpired. I told him the back of the thin-set bag even says to cover the entire tile and asked him to show me anywhere else, online or in a store, that I could verify his method of 60% coverage. He stumbled and was at a loss without an answer. It appeared he was caught cutting some serious corners. They ripped up one room of tile to re-lay it. The others couldn't be done without us spending a ton of money to correct their approach to partially thin-setting tile. We would have to replace a living room of already laid tile. The fixed the dining room instead and told us they would change their method to complete coverage.
The kitchen counter came in, too. Unfortunately at some point when this installer was bringing it in and out (and in and out) to cut it down, it was scratched. He installed it, left it dusty when he said he was done, and split. As soon as I sprayed it down to clean it I saw the scratch, which looks to be from the teeth of a blade such a a saw. When we presented it, we were told it was already there and they can't do anything about it.
The toilets were also replaced and had hair intwined within. Eww.
The tile grout purchased was the second from the darkest available but when applied and dry, looked light tan and white in some places. It looks nothing like what we ordered and doesn't match the tile.
They tiled up to the bedroom carpet and left that carpet unattached. When we were in the final walkthrough trying to finish up, we reminded him to tuck that under so no one rips off their toes on the lip of the new tiles. We were told, We don't do carpet. That's not how it was explained prior to signing the contract.

I honestly could go on and on like this. It was one thing after another and when we asked for corrective actions we hit a wall. It took long conversations to make them understand that long-term quality counts. They corrected some things and provided minor financial relief for the 5 day job taking 14 days with layers of mistakes. That was to pacify us and it worked. We wanted them OUT before they messed up more. However I feel the public should know about the potential issued involved with this contractor. I did not have a good experience here and have difficulty recommending without serious oversight of the work done.

Kent has been helping me with several properties for several years now... whenever I contact him, he returns my calls or email in a prompt fashion. He is professional, speedy, and very detail oriented (as his business name suggests). I have had him do drywall repair, fit custom doors, and other small projects. I would highly recommend Kent... he's awesome!

I called Zona Restoration because of online reviews.  The response time was less than 5 minutes. What I needed done was NOT a service they did, but they were helpful in recommending and referring me to some who did.

I've used Handyman Connection many times over the past 4 years after they were referred to me by a friend. Tony has done a ton of projects for us from small ones like just swapping a light fixture to bigger projects that require running new electrical wiring and switches - he has completed all of them with care and gone above and beyond!

Everyone here from scheduling to project completion is always professional and friendly. They arrive on time for all appointments and the prices often beat other estimates.

Used Az remodel Pros to redo the entire master bathroom! Loved Brian, Izzy, Carlos and team. There's a lot going on In the world so finding good people that care is important. The team was great and make you feel like family. We plan on using them again for other projects like our kitchen and stairs. Can't say enough goodness about this company you will be in good hands! Very responsive and thoughtful.

We had our shower done by these guys and it came out beautifully! They were all so friendly and put up with our nosey kid and dog, we would absolutely recommend going with them! Any hiccups that came up Ali addressed immediately and we appreciated that!

I happened upon this old review of mine because I am again in need of a contractor, and I noticed that my response to Dion was not posted: I saved the communications, and it was definitely with this company that I spoke, and it was definitely not satisfactory.

You can check my Yelp review history and you will find that the vast majority are positive at 3 stars or higher, and I put thought into my reviews.

I had to track down a different contractor when D&D bailed abruptly just before starting work. That was a huge waste of my time.

Even though it was 2 years ago, I wanted to make sure my review reflects that it was accurate.

Irving, was punctual, efficient, asked all the right questions and then got to work. My job went smooth, I would recommend.  Thank you.

Writing this review for Alex and John Halliday at Liberty Remodeling.  They recently painted our house.  It was a non-trivially complicated project:  a 2-story 4000 sq ft house with a large attached pergola, stucco repair, stuccoed perimeter wall and a very picky HOA.  Alex and John navigated the whole project very professionally from start to finish.  They had already painted one house in the neighborhood and did a great job there.  I called several of their reference and they got great reviews from the references they gave.  I was impressed with their integrity both in terms of their approach to quality work, how they handled pricing (they are dong several houses within the neighborhood) and how they managed to stay fair with everyone while still accommodating people's specific requests.  They communicate well and are responsive.  They got to the job quickly and finished it quickly, there was no dragging out of the project any more than was required (they actually did a great job of working around the inclement weather that showed up in the middle of the job).  My only knock would be that sometimes the workers didn't quite get all of the instructions passed to the owners, but that actually brings me to the best part.  And i ahve to say here that I have used many contractors before, and on this item they are the best I've ever experienced.  When they are done and ask you to review and provide a correction/punch list, I've never seen a contractor approach it as positively and effectively as they did.  There was never one moment of push back or debate.. they just went through and addressed every single thing on the list, and they did it right on the spot.  They stayed at it until we were satisfied, and although we are not unreasonable, we are not the easiest customer to please.  I will say if you're looking for the lowest price and don't care about anything else, they may not be the best fit for you, and I think they'd probably agree.  However, if you are looking for a high-quality job that is done right, to your satisfaction at a reasonable, fair price, I'd highly recommend them as I found their work to be an excellent value.  (I'm actually having them paint our rental house next)

TIP:  If you check them out you'll find that their current ROC licence is relatively new, do not take that as a negative.  Ask either John or Alex about that and they will happily tell you the background here.  It checked out and it's actually a positive, but too long of a story to include in this review.

Dream Builder Renovation was an absolute pleasure work with. The quality of work, ethics, level of customer service and satisfaction are top notch. Elvis completed the project on budget and on time and Maisa was in frequent contact. They are quick to respond to estimate requests and questions.

It is rare to find a business that actually practices what it preaches. Dream Builder Renovation does just that! We are already in discussion on another project.

We recently used Phoenix Home Remodeling to remodel our early 2000's Kitchen. The process was very easy and we enjoyed getting to know the team that came to do the work! We appreciated the straightforward approach to the overall plan, expectations, timing, and cost. This is a local to Ahwatukee company which was very reassuring that these folks not only work but live in this community with their name on the line. Communication was seamless and the work was exactly what we wanted! We will definitely use them again for future work and highly recommend them. Thanks for a great experience, and fantastic results!

I had Eric replace some fascia and he quoted a fair price, completed the job quickly, and cleaned up completely!
We are happy with his performance and I highly recommend him!

Marcus remodeled our master bathroom.  he installed our whirlpool tub, built our walk-in shower and installed our double vanity.  He used a laser level so all tile lines were precise.  He does great work at reasonable prices... Highly recommended!

Unprofessional, and nightmarish to deal with. Here's exactly what transpired:

I work 50 hours a week. I made an appointment with I'm Gonna Fix It through Amazon between the hours of 2PM-5PM on Sunday, my only day off this month. When 3 o'clock rolled around on Sunday and I had not heard from the company, I called and left a message. At 4 o'clock I sent again inquiring if the appointment was still good to go. Close to 5 o'clock I receive a message from Kyle (the owner) stating that he would have to reschedule do to personal issues. So, at this point I've planned my families day around this thing and have wasted my only day to be with them. In my industry, this is called No-Call-No-Show.

I immediately texted him back (I will post a screen shot of the conversation if Yelp will let me) informing him that this was unacceptable and that I do not have another available day all month to reschedule.

I was then rudely texted back Life Happens and then he went on to explain how there was a death in the family.

Now.... I am not a psychic so I do not know if these excuses are true or not. What I do know is this:

A) If you look at other reviews for this company, you will find similar experiences of unprofessionalism, excuses, and tardiness.
B) We were all young once and (speaking for myself) I made these type of excuses to my professors in high school.
C) If there really was a problem, I should have been personally contacted as soon as they found out they were unable to make it (Apparently even though the Personal Issues began on Friday, they were unable to contact me until AFTER the appointment was through on Sunday). The guy claims he contacted Amazon to cancel but that is totally untrue; amazon would have contacted me immediately.

In conclusion, the experience I had with this company was so poor I canceled their services altogether. I am not someone with unrealistic expectations... I am understanding that things do happen but with that being said I was not contacted until after the three hour time window had passed and my time had been blatantly wasted, not to mention insulted by the owner.

Buyer beware!

Juan and the G&C team are top tier contractors. They've got specialists for everything you could need in a house and deliver top quality for great prices.

Occasionally, scheduling can be a bit hectic when multiple specialists are on the job, but Juan is responsive to feedback and his team improves after each trip.

I highly recommend Juan and the G&C team.

Fabulous experience with this company. I had my back patio re-tiled, and a bunch of work done in my laundry room (tiling, plumbing, drywalling). The work was done beautifully and skillfully, so it all looks great. They took their time to do everything the RIGHT way. All of the crafts-people doing the work were friendly and very conscientious, including everything from the obvious stuff (like actually showing up when they say they will and cleaning up when they're done!) to small, considerate things like putting extra tile away for me because they saw where I store it in my garage and patching up some extra drywall holes that weren't noticeable until appliances were moved. They pay attention to detail and put in the effort to make sure everything is right. The price was very fair compared to the competing quotes I got, and they never tried to upsell me on the most expensive option or hit me with big surprise extra costs. I will definitely be calling them again when it's time for the next project.

We contracted with them for a relatively simple home addition that was suppose to take 4-6 weeks. They stuck a huge sign in our yard, mostly advertising, saying they needed it for the building permits. We thought, all right, they will be starting on this soon. It has now been over six months. Without constant calls and reminders, they do nothing. Initially they said they had to wait for inspections, which sounded reasonable, but we realized the inspectors came out right after they were called. Gorilla was just using it as an excuse to take a month off. We've also had issues with theft by their subcontractors that they refused to take responsibility for.

The quality of their work is certainly adequate, but in the time it has taken for our one room addition, a four story office building has gone up around the corner.

We started on our first remodel this year and wanted to start with the kitchen and our kid's bathroom.  Andrew had some great advice while talking through what we wanted that really helped us get our vision together.  He also helped reign us in and keep us from doing stupid things that may become an issue years down the line.

I called on a Sunday at 1:30 pm. Doug was at my front door by 3:00 pm. The job was finished by 4:00 pm and for HALF of what Parker and sons had quoted me. Very professional and efficient. Highly recommended.
