Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

Everyone always wants to call around to find the best contractor for remodeling your bathrooms but if you're looking to just get to the good part, skip all the others and make the call to Eric and Angela at Retro Pro. Why?

1. *They're just good people.* Professional, easy to work with, not pushy and EXTREMELY detail-oriented.
2. *One company.* They don't sub any work out to contractors. Everyone works for Retro Pro - plumbing, drywall, electrical, flooring, tiling - you make 1 call if any issues/questions come up.
3. *Detail oriented.* I am a professional project manager so it's in my nature to want specifics, measurements, plans and answers to my questions. Everyone here gladly shares the details and provides honest assessments.
4. *They're local.* They've been doing this for a long time with nearly a 5-star rating on Google and Yelp. Happy to support local businesses.
5. *Quality staff.* Projects like ours don't get done without people like Omar (project manager) and Oscar. I'm forgetting the tile-guys name! All of these guys are hard workers, friendly and did amazing work for us.

We couldn't be happier with the 4 bathrooms they remodeled for us. It was definitely worth the wait!

Strangely, my wife's review was in the non-recommended area.  In any case, I've posted our bathroom photos, the workmanship speaks for itself.  

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, we are VERY pleased with the outcome.

They were on time every single day and completed the project in just under the estimated time of two weeks.  Would have finished even sooner, had the shower door people not needed about a week and a half after measuring (pretty standard - we had a different contractor do our other bathroom and it was a two week wait as well).  
As said, a great job and we plan to call him about our kitchen, hopefully late this year, finances permitting.

Amazing customer service! I was having trouble installing a ceiling fan on my own, and I called them up to have them come out for service. Instead the man I spoke with recognized that I was very close to finishing and just talked me through the rest of the install over the phone. I was very surprised. This type of service is hard to find and very appreciated. Thank you so much for your excellent customer service. I will definitely use them again on any future home renovations.

Blue Dot Pools has been our pool service for a couple years.
They do a wonderful job keeping our pool sparking clean and let us know when there is something that needs repair or special attention.  

Since we have three big Labradors who would swim 24/7 if given the chance, we requested the service guy to give us a quick call to let us know he's on his way. That way we can corral the dogs to keep them out of his way.

They have always provided excellent customer service. We changed pool service companies because we weren't happy with the price or the service we were getting for that price. We are very happy with the price, service and great customer service we receive from Blue Dot Pools! Two thumbs way up!!! We would most definitely recommend them to anyone wanting great service for their pool!

We had our floors installed by M2 Enterprises, they did wood like plank tiles in our entire house. We love how they look and make the house look open and modern. They also did a custom border on our entry step. We've had lots of friends and neighbors comment how much they love our floors. We are planning to redo our 2nd bathroom and will have M2 design and install it for us. We are really happy with the quality of service they provide.

Peel made an extra effort to meet a tight timeline on a tile repair that we had with getting our job done.  We would highly recommend that you consider them for your job.

We have used McLintock Builders for several projects. They are there when they say they will be, keep us well informed, come in at or below their quoted price and do quality work. What else can you ask for in a contractor? I highly recommend them.

Responsive, fast and knowledgeable for my fountain repair.  Would use him again for anything fountain related.

He was able to fix the issue I had and the cost was very reasonable.

Bryce at HBO Construction was great! He was responsive, on time, and did great work on our bathroom shower.

After several estimates, we knew Bryce was the guy for the job. He was fair and knowledgeable without giving us a crazy dollar amount to do the job.

10/10 will be recommending him to our friends and family!

10/10 company. Ray and Tatum are experts with home renovations and have great personable skills. Their company has done several home projects for clients of mine. They can do something as simple as repairs all the way to building you your own custom home. When you think General Contracting.. think Ray Ouellette.

We just had sunscreens installed on our windows by Screens Unlimited, and so pleased with the result. NADYA had an estimate for me in under a day, after I sent sketches and approximate measurements. Besides being very efficient, she communicates well, and answered all my questions.

MIKE came out for exact window measures. He was very patient and knowledgeable, and answered further questions. You could tell he knew what he was doing, as he worked fast. He also brought actual samples for me to chose from. He came back to do the installation, and the screens fit perfectly. We had a couple of windows done a few years ago by another company, and those screens do not fit exactly like Mike's. He had been given a challenge to match the grids on the screens to the grids on the bay windows. It was a perfect fit due to his exact measures.
This company use quality materials with wider than normal frames to make the screens sturdy, and their prices are very reasonable.

When I mentioned the need to have the windows cleaned before the screen installation, and a need for me to coordinate that, Nadya told me she could coordinate it for me through a company they work with called Pro Wash Unlimited. She gave me their phone number and to talk to GABE, which I did. He gave me an estimated price, and said they could remove the bug screens and haul them away, leaving no stress on my part. I loved it! A very pleasant TRAVIS came to wash the windows the day before, leaving the windows sparkling clean. I plan to use Pro Wash Unlimited for window cleaning in the future, and I would like Travis to clean them. Professional work, and prices were reasonable, too.

Plans are to use Screens Unlimited again for another project to install patio screens.

Thank you Nadya, Mike, Gabe, and Travis.

I recently had my Outside patio tiled.  Julio did a great job.  He was on time everyday and was neat & tidy.  Sean, the owner came every morning to check on things and it was a very efficient process.
I will definitely call him for my next project!

We've used Affordable Home Improvements twice for a patio & garage light installation and then for flooring to be replaced from termite damage.  Both times communication & service were excellent with extremely reasonable pricing.

Will continue to use them in the future for all our home improvements!

AZ Dreamscapes just finished installing pavers and synthetic turf in by backyard, and it looks fantastic!

Like many other reviews on here, I had reached out to a few companies initially, but only Scott from AZ Dreamscapes gave me a prompt reply and  arranged an estimate.  He showed up on time, listened to my ideas, and within two days had delivered a quote which was surprisingly affordable, and met my budget almost exactly. (He didn't know what I planned to spend, and I was expecting to see an initial quote far higher).

After I chose to move forward with the project, we met again and signed the paperwork and he gave an estimated start date range. Their payment approach is 50% up front and 50% at project completion. At this time, they were running about three weeks out, and the work did commence within the estimated week.

It took about four days for their crew to finish the work. Everyone on the crew was polite and respectful and I felt comfortable with having them in my yard while I was away at work.

Once the project was complete, I met with Scott again to finalize the paperwork and he was very accommodating of my busy work schedule.

Overall, everything about this process was a positive experience, and I would absolutely recommend AZ Dreamscapes to anyone who needs quality work with quality materials at an affordable price.

Ask them for a quote, you won't regret it!

I was referred by a friend after a bad storm had revealed a leak in our new home. With another monster storm about to hit us, I reached for a consultation and Geremy drove an hour and a half out of his way on his own time to look at what was going on. Gave me a quick and honest assessment, when asked how much, he was beyond reasonable, and offered to handle the job on the spot, so the next storm wouldn't damage my house! You will regret using this company! My roof guarantees it!

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.

I contacted Red Ram about some major exterior remodeling work I'm having done. It includes building a large attached patio cover, re-siding my house, and installing a new roof.

Daniel came out to see the project space. He mentioned some alternative siding options I hadn't considered. I appreciated this because I believe the contractor is the materials expert, can make good recommendations, and it's important to me to find someone experienced in using/installing the products I ultimately decide to go with. He left me with a very positive impression. He said it would take a week or so to get me an estimate for the work and some estimates for the different siding options so I can make an informed cost/value determination on which product to go with.

It's been 3 weeks now and I haven't heard anything from Daniel or Red Ram. I tried calling to follow up but there was no answer and no call-back response to my voicemail. I understand this ultimately means he probably doesn't want my business but ghosting is inherently rude and ultimately unprofessional. A simple message saying this isn't a project we want to take on would be sufficient. This seems to be a common issue in the contracting world. To each her/his own, but based on my experience, I feel this company lacks integrity.
