Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

We had 6 different estimates for our kitchen remodel.  Most of the contractors that visited our home said, This is a big job, which didn't instill a sense of confidence.  When Eric & Angela came into our home, they immediately understood our vision and made it seem almost easy to accomplish.  After having researched remodeling in our area, the price was in the range of what we had anticipated and very competitive.  What made them stand out for us, was their shared vision for the project, the in-house crew, and the attention to detail.  
Eric came up with several ideas for our layout that we had not even thought of and created a truly custom and beautiful kitchen.
Omar's craftsmanship and attention to detail made it obvious he has years of experience.  Any challenges our older home presented, he and his crew handled without issue.  Omar was very friendly to our kids, and never made us feel like we were in the way in our own home.
Angela provided advice on design to make the space feel cohesive with the rest of our house.  We originally thought pendant lights would make the kitchen feel too small.  She strongly recommended we go with them, and we absolutely love them.  
Steve was always reassuring to me when I was having trouble picturing the kitchen during the remodel.  He was always just a phone call away.
We were very happy with our entire remodeling process with Retro Pro.  If we had to do it all over, we would definitely choose them again.  The only thing friends and family say when they see our new kitchen is, Wow!

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.

The worst service I have ever had. My pool started turning green so I called Blue Dot for help, they were very nice over the phone but once the tech came out things went from bad to worse. After throwing in some chlorine and a quick brush he said he would be back in 2 days. After a no show he rolls in 6 days later and does it all over again. My pool now looks like a swamp and then he turns to me and says you are just always going to have a green looking pool but I will be back in a couple days. WHAT? Another no show so 3 days later I cancel my service. Would never recommend this company and have since found a great pool service now and the pool looks amazing and not green.

I had a backsplash nightmare- install done terribly. I reached out to see if this company could help me fix itA although they are too booked out to help, the owner was very kind in walking me through what went wrong and advice on what to do. Very appreciative of his time to have a discussion with me! Will definitely use them for future projects!

Richard Peel rescued us from renovation Hell! We had been working with another contractor for months to finish the tiling and flooring in our master bathroom. We were on a tight timeline as I was seven months pregnant and wanted to get the project completed before our baby was born. For over two months we sat patiently waiting for the previous company to finish their job and they never did. We got a referral for Richard Peel from the Arizona Tile preferred vendor list and from the first phone call I knew they were sincere and on their game. They are a three-generation family business and although they couldn't start immediately, they sent out someone to put together an estimate right away. They needed two weeks and we're willing to use the existing materials we had already purchased and put together a very fair quote. They started the demo and project right on time and stuck to their timeline. Every day they had someone come out and do something to continue to move the job forward. Tom, their tile guy, did a phenomenal job and worked with us to get the exact final outcome we hoped for. Everyone from the company was courteous, tidy, punctual, and trust worthy. It was a wonderful experience and we are thrilled with the final result. We cannot recommend them enough and will definitely use them for any future tiling or flooring needs.

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.

So glad we discovered Advanced Fountains!  My father is selling his home and wanted to fix the fountain, we were referred to Mike from our realtor.  Mike fixed the fountain and got it up & running in no time, so it looks and functions beautifully. Very reasonable price as well.  Very happy with the service.  My dad only wishes he would have discovered Mike sooner so he could have enjoyed the fountain more.  I have a fountain that cascades into my swimming pool and I will definitely be calling Mike for maintenance and repairs in the future.

Thank you Mike!

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.

Michael was able to put in new screens for me when another company said they couldn't do it the way I wanted.  I appreciated Michaels no problem attitude and he did a wonderful job.

Wow, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much, Infinity Pro Services, for transforming my house into a home.  We love everything about it!! I appreciate the dependability, flexibility, creativity, affordability and fabulous results.  I am so relieved that I found such a great company to work with!!

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!

Scott was very professional and helpful with coming up with a design that we would love and be happy with. When I called if he didn't answer he would call me back in a reasonable amount of time nor did miss an appointment. His workers were always prompt and did an excellent job they also didn't mind if I'd stop them with question, they were very helpful. I'm glad we went with them and the pricing was very reasonable.

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.

If I could give a zero rating I would. I hired red ram construction too Install 700 ft.² of tile. After nine days they still had not completed the job, they Laid the tile uneven, left grout all over the floor, and cabinets. We now have to remove the tile and start over. In addition they never cleaned up after themselves.  I would not hire this contractor under any circumstances whatsoever.
