Best General Contractors in Phoenix, AZ

I was so lucky to find Russ through Yelp. I tried reaching out to few other Handyman for quotes but did not hear back from some and others over priced. Does not sound like much but to me it was something important that needed to be done same day, chirping smoke detectors at home. They were driving me crazy.  Thank God that I was so gifted that he responded so quickly with a reasonable estimate AND available to come out the same day!! He arrived on-time, professional, friendly and can do attitude with confidence. He was able to answer my questions, confirmed estimate and  immediately got started. Within no time he had all 5 smoke detectors replaced, they look great and no more chirping! OMG... Russ is an amazing hard worker, very brilliant and fully equipped for any job. Definitely from here on out, he will be my go to Handyman, without a doubt.!!! As well, I will be recommending him to all of my family, friends and co-workers!! Thank you again Russ, keep up the great work that you do!!!

Unfortunately we had an awful experience with these guys August of 2018 and I definitely would not recommend them. It began very well with them seeming to understand everything we needed but the delivery was sloppy and thrown together. We had to deal with them for 4 months for a small project, and things just went from bad to worse.

The end result was an awful sloppy job on our small bathroom that we still have to deal with on a daily basis. The initial work had to be redone and the second time around was still badly done. Our shower still pools and does not drain properly. Some of the work was left unfinished because it took them 4 months (I was originally quoted 2 weeks). I desperately wanted them out to my home at this point. Yes, I was angry and extremely frustrated with them (and I'm not the type of person to complain much). This brief review doesn't begin to cover the nightmare experience we went though in dealing with this contractor.

I'll leave it at that, listing all of our issues would result in several pages of text. Although it is several months later, I wanted to do my duty and leave a review as a warning to others.

Edit:
I'm adding my response to the reply. I'm not sure why they think I'm enrolled in college, underemployed, or not a home owner?
Anyway, all I wanted is to leave a review of my experience with this contractor. My experience with them did turn into a nightmare, and yes, I remain frustrated and unhappy with the results.

I'm not saying that Vetsbuilt has NEVER done any great work, they have excellent reviews from other yelpers, so I know they have many other happy customers. All I'm saying is that our specific project was a catastrophic failure. Numerous things went wrong and Vetsbuilt was not to blame for ALL of it. Vetsbuilt did try to appease in the beginning, but as the problems progressed, the seemed to give up and not care about our project. Their major mistake was bringing in an onside unlicensed contractor to do the work. This contractor messed up everything he touched. Vetsbuilt did try to salvage our project by having some other folks they trusted to redo the work. Some of their team did deliver on a professional level (Thank you Ben!), and others did not. The folks that didn't quite deliver were rushed and seemed overworked and spread a bit thin. They were also unresponsive and did not show up at the agreed time. When work was completed, it wasn't inspected as will as the first inspection IMO. There was a brief apology on the last day that I wish had come sooner. It honestly would have made things better. I tried to communicate as best as I could, however I couldn't take any more time away from work and just wanted to get through the project. I won't continue to list additional issues we had, since I don't think it will help alleviate anything.

A final open note to this business:
Please don't take this review to heart or as a personal attack! I'm not saying you are bad people! As a matter of fact, you were personable in the beginning and very responsive. The outside contractor you brought in was the one that made the mistakes. You tried to fix it. Toward the end things went from bad to worse because trust was lost on all sides. Everyone (including myself) were getting burned out. If you need to express your frustrations that is okay. You are entitled to it, and Yelp provides a platform for both business and client to do so. I had to give myself some time before writing this review because I was so furious, stressed, and heartbroken when everything was unfolding. I didn't want to leave a nasty rant, rather, I wanted to provide feedback in hopes of offering some constructive criticism. We all have room to improve; I once broke out in tears in the middle of the project from all of the stress (which was probably frustrating to deal with) and next time I'll make sure to gather myself and calm my emotions before discussing the issues. For this, I do apologize. I am glad however, we never had a yelling match, or let temper get the best of us, or exchanged any snarky remarks in person. Someone did raise their voice a couple times but it wasn't directed at me, it was due to frustrations from the nature of this project. We remained relatively professional throughout the whole ordeal I definitely wanted to reach out and say thank you for your professionalism on that aspect. I don't want to continue a back and forth dialogue with an online argument, so I'll just sign off with a last note and wish you luck on your endeavors too.

We did a small bathroom re-do with Details Remodeling. Kent and all the guys he brought it were wonderful. He was responsive from the beginning when we wanted a quote and always replied to emails quickly. He was reliable throughout the whole process and got the job done quickly. Everything looked beautiful when he was done, no corners were cut to save time. His pricing was very reasonable and he was upfront about costs. Highly recommended.

Aaron and his team are AMAZING. I had my shower handle break leaving my water in the on position. I either had to leave my shower running wasting water, or turn off the water running to my entire house. (Both terrible options and seemed like it was going to be the biggest headache for me)

I called Zona Restoration and they had Gabe out to me on a Saturday nonetheless, within 2 hours!!!! He was so kind and was done within 30 minutes. If you are thinking about calling Zona Restoration you won't regret it! 10/10 recommend!

I can install ceiling fans, but this one was a little more than what I wanted to take on.  Tall ceiling with a 5' downrod...not a big fan of heights.  I'll leave that one to the professionals.

Greg arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left the area cleaner than when he found it.  He took away the old fan and discarded the box and packaging for me.  All around great experience - would definitely recommend.

Brian and crew have been great to work with and very helpful along the way. Even worked with us on getting some complicated insurance process. Will provide more updates as we continue and complete the project but so far we are very pleased.

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!

We are just in our initial stage of gathering bids, but Dion is very easy to talk to, courteous and easily understands the jumble projects we are wanting to do in the home we just moved in.  We are still trying to decide how many of the projects were are going to have done versus DIY.

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

My back patio covering was leaking and uneven. I ended up calling Alex from Liberty Remodeling and he came out gave me a very good estimate. They did great work and looks110% better. Thank you!

Elvis and his team came to our house to do a list of repairs in June 2021. They did some dry wall, grouting, and painting, and some other miscellaneous tasks. The whole thing was supposed to take them two full days, but they did it in one afternoon. It seemed like they rushed through things, but at the time of their departure everything looked good enough (a few things should have been cleaned up better, but overall it was fine). The whole thing cost us around $2500, which was a higher price than some other companies had offered, but worth it for what we hoped would be a high-quality job.

After a few months, the cracks they had fixed were back in the drywall, so we asked Elvis to come back to fix things again. He did it at no additional cost to us. Again, we were mostly happy with the work they did and we appreciated that he came back to fix things.

Now, in January 2022, all of the cracks are back in the drywall and some in the grouting, and the paint job looks very bad (see photos). Overall, it feels like we spent a lot of money and things look just as bad, and in some cases worse, than they had before they came.

After working with Jeremy and his team on my master bath remodel, I can honestly say I wouldn't look elsewhere for future projects. Every person we worked with throughout the process was 100% professional and a pleasure to work with. The initial estimates were extremely detailed and we knew exactly what to expect, which made our first big remodel much less intimidating. The Project Manager had great attention to detail, made helpful suggestions, and ensured that everything was completed on time. The designer was super helpful and didn't blink an eye when I made some off-the-wall changes (like a bright blue vanity!). The tile expert, knowing I was a little nervous about the grout color, even did a small sample and called me over to take a final look to make sure everything was perfect. Phoenix Home Remodeling is truly a class act.

Eric with EL Construction definitely knows what he is doing. With his expertise, he was able to design a beautiful master bath. He spent extra time sending over links of certain places to get materials from. He helped me design this bathroom so it was functional for us. We appreciated the professional quotes he sent to us. They were easy to understand and straight to the point. He even wrote a few different bids so we could decide which would be most feasible for us. He got the work done in the time frame he gave us. And it looks BEAUTIFUL!

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!

Would definitely use again. He mounted our 42inch TV and it was fast + high quality service. Definitely recommend and you can't beat the price!

My wife and I purchased a fixer upper for us to live in and believed by watching TV shows and the internet for knowledge and inspiration But then reality set in and to be honest, we had No clue on where to begin
That's when we received a Blessing
We contacted Juan and he walked us through every step of the way. I really appreciated his patience, understanding, creative ideas and keeping us up to speed as the project moved forward and when we hit a snag because let's face it...no project is ever immune. However Juan and his crew pushed forward and our project house became a reality
It's just beautiful
We are definitely Blessed
Thank you Juan

I recently purchased new kitchen cabinets through Sunset Tile and Bath. I initially went to them because they carry the line of cabinets that I wanted. I had several design meetings with Audra and found her to be the first designer that actually listened to my concerns and offered solutions to my design issues. Audra was also very professional and patient when I made requests for alternative quotes and layout changes. The cabinets actually arrived ahead of schedule and the delivery guys were also very professional and personable. I would definitely use Sunset again and highly recommend them.

Gorilla Builders built us a 1500sqft detached RV garage.  They did a great job staying within budget, handling all of the permitting.  Timeline was doubled due to lack of trades available, but Jeff communicated well to keep me up to date.  Bob oversaw majority of project and was awesome to work with.  Overall I am very pleased with the end result and was done at a very reasonable price.

Andrew did an amazing job with our kitchen remodel. He was always accessible, prompt, detail-oriented and very knowledgeable. I would re-hire Green Home Services again without a second thought!

Doug was great just as others have mentioned here! He was on time, quick, and did a wonderful job. Thank you for replacing our faucet.
