Best General Contractors in Phoenix, AZ

Michael responded within 1 day that I called and sent pictures of the work I needed. He gave me an approximate price. After he came to my house he was able to make suggestions to correct the problems with a reasonable price. I needed several thresholds replaced and the doors that had water damage repaired. He also caulked and painted the areas to match the original.
 He did such a good job, I showed him other areas that needed attention from wear and tear on garage doors needing calking and wood replacing.
 His estimates fell in the middle of the others I had received. The quality of the materials were excellent and the results were very good.
 Michael is my go to for any projects I need in the future.

I had EL Construction come evaluate a patio cover with a rafter succumbing to rot. Eric himself answered promptly, and gave a fair assessment of the repair and the possibility of scope creep and how that would work. When I accepted his quote, he got me scheduled very quickly, and sure enough the scope had to get considerably bigger. The ease of communicating with him made what could be a scary situation much more approachable, and he definitely seemed motivated to treat my home like it was his own.

The project dragged on three days longer than expected, but at every stage it was kept protected from the monsoon elements, and the construction made quick progress. The outcome was an excellent work product, everything looking like new, and a fair final invoice.

I definitely recommend EL Construction for the hard stuff. Eric tells me he can do it all, too, so I'll be reaching back out to him as the projects come up!

The wax ring was bad on upstairs toilet and water damage was happening under our tiles damaging the sub floor. The rotted ply wood was replaced and new tiles placed. Amazing work. They were reliable. Efficient, affordable, and communicated well.

Hired Golden Bear to remodel master bath and second bathroom in March 2020.  I gave it 5 stars so you can read about my experience and who this guy really is.  You decide.

Mike and his partner did all the tile work, plumbing, electrical and some touchup painting themselves, no subcontractors - with the exception of the glass shower wall/doors, which everyone subcontracts. Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome.  They were very easy to work with, which is why I hired them.  On several occasions Michael saved me from my bad ideas.  

But there were issues around the finishing details. I had to go over the work and point out with stick notes many finishing details like at the base of the cabinets, grout cleanup in corners and rough finishing edges.  Overall in the end the master bath came out great.

But in the second bath the amount of grout clean up issues were extensive.  For some reason they decided to change the color of the grout without my consent and it looked terrible. I was told the color would change after it dries.  

Well the grout color did not change when it dried, the color they used what not what I selected.  Michael stop taking my calls after he admitted they used the wrong color and said they would come back and fix it.   I had to hire a tile company to change the color of the grout.

I do recommend that Michael hire someone to do the finishing work he does not like doing.  Would I hire him again or recommend him - NO.

I selected Aqua Tubs after doing my research on the internet.  Most places usually just take care of tub installation only not electrical   Here they manage the entire project start to finish.  From the top down the service and support has bee outstanding.  The installers Jacob and George true craftsmen.

Great experience all around - hired for a framing job and liked the work so much we used them for additional work. Top notch quality and reliability. Good find!!

I am been with this company for a few years and all I can say is that it is a great place to hang your license and the broker is awesome !!

I am not sure I can express in words how wonderful the experience and quality of work Craig on-site and Andrew in coordinating in operations .  We installed an eco water treatment system, Kitchen water filtration system, and a routine repair on a bathroom sink.  It was greeted promptly, with a quick visit to the house, an outline of options.  Craig listened to what I said, researched something I had heard of, and produced it within a week even in the midst of COVID.   While onsite on that project, he noticed an existing issue and potential problems  developing with my water heater.  No urgency on it just fact and possible issues.  Again, my options were outlined in discussion as well as on the contract.  We ended up purchasing an instant hot water heater system that has completely solved all of our water problems (running the water for 10 mins before it gets warm).  All paperwork was completed electronically so quickly and easily.  Then as a complete surprise, they sent me an Amazon gift card with a nice note of thanks!  Who does that these days?  You will NOT be sorry.  You do not have to have a large project or the most expensive.  Call them, what are you waiting for?  Now to know they do electrical and remodeling work - wow!  I'm in.

4 Stars for work
1 Star for reliability

Geremy installed floating wood shelves in the kitchen and did a good job. They're sturdy and look good, but could have been finished better in the end. Putty was left to dry and I had to have my handyman sand it all down as well as add more where there were some noticeable gaps at joints. I didn't ask Geremy come back to finish because it wasn't the end of the world to have to have someone else finish, it just would have been nice if he had completed the job himself. There was also an incident where he accidentally leaned against the stove knobs, turned on the burner and melted plastic on my brand new stove top that had never been used. It wasn't able to be cleaned up complete which is a bummer, but the worst part is he didn't tell me about it- I had to hear from my handman.

I hired him for a second job- a pergola over my back patio. After he rescheduled a couple of times and then didn't show up another one or two times, he finally came, but came so late in the day that he ran out of time and couldn't install my string lights. I went ahead and paid him the full amount for the job but I've never been able to get him to come back to finish the lights that he said he'd be back to hang the following day. After a lot of excuses, several texts and a phone call and continuing to tell me he'd come back to hang them, he still hasn't finished the job. I've been waiting since May 20th and now he isn't responding to my messages at all.

It's a shame because his work is good, but reliability and communication are terrible.

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.

Working with Jeremy was probably the best experience I've had working with a contractor. A few months back my wife and I starting looking into having some work done to the exterior of our home. Specifically, we were looking to have our back wall raised by 2 blocks, have wood rot removed and corrected along the roofline on all sides of the home, and have an old large wooden patio covering removed. Jeremy's quote was competitive, and he seemed very knowledgeable when we completed our initial walkthrough.

What I appreciated most working with Jeremy was the communication. This is one area where I feel many contractors fall short. But Jeremy and his staff communicated by email often during every step of our project. If I had a question or concern, I didn't have to wait days for a response. If I didn't hear back that same day, I would get a response the next morning.

I have to commend Jeremy not only for his service, but for the people he chose to work with him. From the the pleasant and helpful woman who I frequently spoke to in the phone (I think Jeremy's wife), to other individuals who were on site... everyone was kind and courteous.

After the work was completed and the bill was paid, there was one area of wood rot correction that I wanted retouched. I was hesitant to see what kind of response I would get, but I received no pushback from Jeremy and his staff. He quickly put me in the schedule and came out and touched up his work with no extra cost. I really appreciated his attentiveness and willingness to ensure the work he completes is done right. It's now been months later and after dealing with 2 other contractors (for other areas of work), I very much appreciate both the quality of work Jeremy and his staff provided, and and the strong communication he provided throughout. I will definitely be using Jeremy the Handyman again in future, and I've already recommended him to friends and co-workers.

Thank you for your service! The tile looks great, we had minor problems that were fixed right away. Very professional. The owner James was very nice and willing to help us in any way he could. Thank you again!

I have worked with Petrus on several remodeling project and have always been impressed with their work and professionalism. The Petrus team is top notch and I like the fact that the owner (Fabio) always come to the job site during the installation to check on his crew and make sure everything is done to perfection. Their prices are great (competitive) and I always get a quality install!

I just wrapped up my 3rd job with JM Contracting and we couldn't be happier!!! The first job Josh (owner) did for me was our back patio roof. We discussed a drainage issue and out of all of the other bids I obtained and telling them all the same issue, Josh was the ONLY one that suggested we get an architect/engineer to address the problem. He naturally got my bid! Josh got on top of the drainage issue and once the engineer/architect (Quincy) did his calculations, pictures, etc. we came up with a solution. Josh was able to do the entire job, also addressing an issue with my sagging roof that was putting all its weight on my french door lintels which required shoring it up and stabilizing it, he stayed just outside of our original budget.
We have had NO problems with drainage since and that has saved my master bedroom floor!

Josh remodeled my master bathroom and my father's bathroom within the past 4 months as well. The outcome is stellar!!! Our bathrooms now look like they came right off of HGTV! No kidding! I highly recommend JM Contracting for all your contracting jobs. Josh is great to work with, his team (including his subs) are spot on too. Josh oversees everything and he is a total prefectionist...a keen eye for detail and making sure it looks 110% perfect!  Thanks Josh for such great work! We will be using him for our next remodel of our kitchen and our pool decking too!

Martin and his team are some of the best in the Valley!! They are so kind, thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely kind people. We are so pleased with all the work they helped us with, including a new fireplace and surround, wainscoting, whole home painting, lighting, shiplap, and many other projects! Outstanding communication and even better people! It's been a pleasure to meet Martin and Calvary Tile & Stone will be my first and only contact when we need any construction, electrical, and/or any other help!

Our experience started out well but changed for the worst when the product was delivered. Their were a number of cosmetic defects in the cabinets. Such as inconsistent stain, nicks, scratches, etc.. We contacted the owner, Michael, to inform him of the problems and we agreed on a time for him to come inspect the areas of concern. On that day Michael wrote us at the last minute and said he wasn't coming out and that he was sending his employees instead, to do the repairs. We weren't excited about the last minute communication and change but went with it. His employees arrived and we showed them our concerns. Long story short they said they would need to take all of the cabinet doors and drawer faces back to their shop. We accepted this plan as they promoted it was the best way to resolve the issues. We requested that the work be done by a certain date and the employee stated he would make it happen.

Time came for reinstalling the re-stained and corrected pieces. Unfortunately shortly after that, the lacquer finish on almost all of the pieces started to peal. Here is when communication, timeliness and courtesy went out the window. Unfortunately we had already maid final payment so we didn't have much leverage to deal with their newly acquired poor business practices.

We contacted Michael again and he agreed to come out and look at the problem. At that meeting he acted as if we caused the problem because we asked for the original imperfections to be repaired. He stated that the pieces never should have been taken back to their shop. We tried to remind him that he didn't show up to that original meeting and that his employees made the decision to remove the pieces, not us. He completely dismissed that idea and has to this day. But, he agreed to remake the pieces that were peeling.

In our opinion the job should have been made a priority because our project was now many weeks behind. None of which was our fault. Nope, we were put on the low priority and 6 months after the original installation we are still living with the peeling doors.

Michael and his company have been poor, at best, to deal with and we are now having to file a formal complaint against 2nd Avenue Design Group with the Registrar of Contractors.

I will complete this review once more has transpired.

I highly don't recommend doing business with this company. They provided an inferior product, have been rude and unprofessional to deal with.

I recently had my home painted by another company and they did a terrible job. They didn't tape off windows and cabinets and got paint everywhere.Their color tie ins were a mess and the overall job just looked horrible. TWD came in and spent two full days detailing the entire house and did a fantastic job. I will be using TWD for everything from this point forward. Their workmanship and attention to detail is second to none.

Thank you TWD.
