Best Kitchen Remodels in Phoenix, AZ

I think its fair to say that a large percentage of remodeling projects end with either a desire for divorce, to torch your contractors truck and office, or both. Not so with our most recent significant remodel,

Working with our contractor, Jerry Nowell, his office and the highly skilled and good natured subs he employed, resulted in an experience and outcome that surpassed our expectations. Jerry is a standup guy who was always keeping us updated on all aspects of the project including the good, the bad and, on occasional, ugly. If there were hold ups he was very quick to let us know why and what he had done to address the related issue.. No surprises. When we found ourselves questioning how we wanted to proceed on some aspect of the project, his experience and good eye proved invaluable in the decision process. On many occasions he helped steer us clear of making unnecessarily expensive decisions ,often showing greater concern for our stated budget than we.

Jerry has the unique gift of bringing calm to even the most hectic and potentially stressful aspects of the process. In short we can't recommend him highly enough and or begin to express our true gratitude for his professionalism, honesty and patience throughout the process. Jerry, Yvonne and all the subs, sincerest thanks.

I used Aldana Renovations to do some repairs to my subfloor that had water damage. Andoni came out and did an awesome job of repairing the flooring as reinstalling the laminate above it. His prices were more than fair, he was on time, and worked quickly. I would definitely recommend him.

Efficient Home Pros came out on a weekend with short notice to fix our main door.  Robert was in and out quickly and the door works great after he was finished!  Thank You!

Amazing company!

Owner Chris Schott I know personally he and his company are the definition of integrity. I have seen some of the work his company has done and its very impressive. Keep up the good work Schott Development I will refer all my friends and family to this great company!

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.

These guys are awesome! They did a great job remodeling my office! I highly recommend them for everything!

Tony did our parents outside steps with pavers and was very meticulous and is a huge improvement over the aged concrete.

They are using him for a second job to tile their back patio. They highly recommend his company.

Had an appointment on 5 oct for an estimate.  Since then then we haven't heard anything back from them.  Now we lost 2 weeks we are looking for a new company.

BUYER BEWARE!
QUALIZONA = SHADY, LIARS & THIEVES!

CONS - TOO MANY TO FULLY CAPTURE!

Mike (one of the front men / co-owners @ Qualizona) came out to 'help' with a significant water damage claim.

He is a smooth talker, he is the reason why contractors, in general, have a negative connotation associated with the contractor community, and unfortunately, I fell for it.

He quickly provided all sorts of details and stories about the high quality work which his company is known for & quick turnarounds he promised to complete to get my home back to its pre-damage state. He also spun a tale which firmly created a 'fear' environment, stating work must begin ASAP or insurance would not pay for the damages, and how he would be the only person to trust in this process. He claimed this was because insurance companies ALWAYS cheat policy holders. He also claimed the goal of your insurance company is to NOT help you, and only pay for as little as possible. ALL lies!!

Mike capitalized on my lack of experience with insurance claims, the full scope involved with the repair, and what he fabricated as he described of how things really work with insurance claims to his advantage.  

Mike created an 'us' (Qualizona & me) vs the evil insurance industry scenario leveraging the fabricated tale he told. He used this to have me sign a 'standard' & very 'contractor-friendly' contract immediately. The contract actually served to limit my rights,  granted me no ability to cancel, nor get my deductible returned, put no responsibility on Qualizona to perform work within any time period, and no time line which work must be completed by.

He stated I was in the best hands possible, that he was a former insurance claim adjuster & new all their tricks, and that Qualizona would be there any needed to help to ensure that all work would be completed within a two weeks maximum after signing the contract & paying him the deductible immediately via a personal check. As described below this could not be further from the truth.  

He also claimed I needed to sign his contract immediately to allow work to begin, and that Qualizona could begin working right then and there, while also managing the whole claim for me.

Sounded great! ... but then reality hit.

The next thing that happened was Mike received that signature on his contract, and a check from me to him (not Qualizona) for $1k to cover my deductible required by home insurance.

Then Mike was kind enough to 'get right go work' completing about $150 worth of work towards the ~$20k total damage associated with the insurance claim. He then left my home in a VERY messy state, debris was EVERYWHERE. He deposited my check, and then he completed ghosted me for about 3 weeks. ZERO communication at all - I tried calling, emailing, contacting Hassan, leaving voicemails & emails daily - no replies from any one at Qualizona was received for weeks!!

When Mike finally was able to briefly communicate, he often hung up mid conversation, and NOT ONCE did he, nor anyone from Qualizona show up as promised. He had all types of excuses ready (phone service issues, his phone breaking, his phone got lost, issues with his cell phone carrier resulting in it not working, flooding had taken down his internet connection, his truck had broken etc... the list goes on & on)...

Mike has many other fabricated tales, often ones that contradicted his previous stories - he lied SO much he became unable to recall which tales he had told me.

My insurance company reviewed Qualizona's quote and helped me understand what the scope of work that Qualizona had included in their quote to get my home back to pre-damage condition.

Only through the support of my insurance  company, and working to align work activities actually started, did we noticed Mike / his crew had only PARTIALLY completed one very minor item from the contract we both signed. The value of the work which was only  partially completed was really only worth $150 total, when compared to the contract we signed.

Mike then continued to dodge any work he had promised to complete for months. Eventually I had to just accept that he stole my $1k deductible, and I interviewed a few other contractors, picked the best contractor company from  the ones which I interviewed (they proved to be reputable, honest & quick workers, who completed the full repair in 3.5 days) .

I also found out many more lies that Mike had told as time passed. Some highlights include: Mike stated he was heavily recruited by contractor firms since he was well known & respected in the industry (in reality he really he had recently been fired by his previous employer). He did not have ANY insurance claims adjuster experience at all (as he claimed). He also told me he worked in Italy for years & knew the language, but when I asked him a very basic question in Italian, he had absolutely ZERO Italian language skills.

Reported to the AZ Contractor Board!! This company would not correct their mistake but the board saw right through them and had them tear down the entire project and start over. They installed right over mold without even telling the homeowner. Huge safety hazard!!!!!! DO NOT USE THEM FOR ANYTHING!!!!

Our house burned down. We got estantes from 3 different companies and chose to go with Patterson because the contractor was such a nice guy and he was able to start right away. Everything was going great our home had been framed the contractor was responsive and upfront then he quit and from what I heard took half the company with him to start his own business. This is where everything fell apart. I was given a new contractor who never answered my calls I had no idea what was going on or when things were being done. Their workers are careless. We had paint all over our trees one of their paint guys kicked in our door and it had to be replaced. They told me to pick out a washer and dryer then a year later tried to bill me for it! They keep no records of what the are doing.... they have horrible customer service. They pay no attention to detail. They recently had to replace a panel in my cabinets because it cracked! The cabinets they use are so cheap they chip. Hardware on my cabinets are uneven. They installed my vertical blinds on my sliding glass door and made them too long so they drag and 5 have already fallen off. The blinds in my kitchen window are crooked! How does that even happen. There was no final walk through to point any of these things out. Some cabinets have holes where they drilled for the wrong size hardware then just patched it up. The fence they put up is awful and they charged and arm and a leg for it. There was a crack in every closet corner window corner in the ceiling down the middle of the entire house that they had to come back and fix. They left some hole in my roof so when it rained I had bad water damage and the entire ceiling on my hallway had to be replaced! The list goes on and on! The only reason I even gave 2 stars is because the handymen that come fix mistakes are so nice and trustworthy. Other than that. Keep looking if you are needing work done. Unless you want to be extremely stressed for the entire time the work is being done.

Jerry and his crew did an amazing job!   I am in Texas and needed to find someone to move beds at my parents house in Goodyear.  They moved one king bed up stairs and set it up and then assembled another with electric frame downstairs.   My parents were thrilled with how friendly and helpful Jerry was.  They are so happy they now have someone to call for any other repairs or help they may need.  I would HIGHLY recommend JNB for whatever project you may have.

ABA just completed two bathrooms in my home. The workmanship was quality but it took a long time to get some products. All workers that came to our home were pleasant and accommodating to our wishes. We recommend this company.
