Our dishwasher failed while we were away and the significant water damage (about which we initially were unaware) not only slowly created mold inside our walls; it ruined most of our kitchen cabinetry. Since our house was built in 1984 the kitchen had been updated but never fully remodeled (including the original fluorescent lighting and drop-ceiling!).  We had no intention to undergo such significant a project but the timing would never be better.

Our insurer provided a list of its approved contractors but because the economy is so strong here in AZ, few responded and even fewer provided a bid (of the 18 GC's contacted). During the mold remediation process (a terrible experience we wish upon no one!), we were referred to Copper State Remodeling, a fully licensed and bonded General Contractor.  Are we ever grateful!

Mike Byrnes, its owner, came to our home the same day we contacted him and expediently provided a comprehensive bid:  Seal the rest of the house off (we lived in it throughout...), repair walls post-mold remediation, demo/remove all cabinets, drop ceiling and equally dated lighting, etc. His crew then installed new drywall/texture, redesigned our HVAC (making it more efficient), fully upgraded LED lighting, painted, and even completed minor structural improvements.

Mike as project manager, most capably coordinated and oversaw each subcontractor, the cabinetry company, appliance delivery/install, and the granite fabrication/install. Each and every individual who came into our home was the utmost in professionalism, competence, consideration, and also friendliness--including being most dog-friendly!

Copper State Remodeling was competitive in its bid.  Most of all though, we appreciate the significant added value Mike and his team brought to our home.  We're extremely satisfied and fully enjoying our new kitchen and family room--including its previously 'hidden' vaulted ceilings.

I had Southwest Building Solutions build a turn-key 40x40 steel building on my property in a county island in Northern Peoria. When I called, Aaron came out the same day. They had permits within a week, and my building is up after less than 6 weeks since I called. The building is beautiful and it's very well built. Thanks to Craig, Aaron, Chad, Scott, and everyone who helped.

Brad has done 2 projects for us, he built a Casita on our residential property.  We had been working with another contractor that had drug their feet and Brad and his team came in and got the job done quickly, during the beginning of the COVID issue.  He really came through for us.
The second was a commercial project, he remodeled our office, at our business in Chandler.  We had a quick deadline to get it done and they did an amazing job, excellent price and it was done on time.  
Highly recommend Brad and his team!

PDG Construction is the best handyman service in the city. I have never worked anyone who was as honest, clean and meticulous as PDG. They are very knowledgeable and do great work. I recommend them to all of my friends and family.

We just completed our remodeling project with Sun Country Renovations, and we were very satisfied with the experience and results.  We were referred to Steve Garrett and Sun Country by another contractor who had good things to say about him.  After checking out Steve and his company online, we arranged a meeting with him.  We were immediately put at ease by his experience, expertise and ideas for our project.  The quote was fair and the negotiated payment terms were reasonable, so we engaged him for our project.

The first thing that impressed us was the diligence shown by Steve's team in keeping our home as clean as possible during the demolition phase.  Steve is a stickler for keeping the job site clean throughout the project, and all of his subcontractors showed the same care.  

The second thing that impressed us was the quality of the work by ALL the subcontractors, including tile work, drywall, and painting.  The subcontractors did careful, quality work and obviously took pride in their trade.  They were also polite, punctual, and pleasant. We trusted them in our home.

All throughout our project Steve gave us good advice and probably steered us away from making some mistakes along the way.  He has a good eye for design and color and what could work within our vision for what we wanted.  We really appreciated his input.

In the end what matters most is the final result, and we are truly happy with the outcome.  The work is high quality and looks amazing.  Steve earned our trust, and we will definitely use him again in the future!

Jeremy recently changed out our kitchen faucet. Though it was just a small job, he still made it a priority and communicated effectively with us over timing and cost. He was right on time and completed the work quickly too! We will be sure to use his services again in the future.

Excellent service! Our sticky door took two hands and some muscle to open with no improvement after service from another company. Phoenix Sliding Doors sent two skilled and courteous men and fixed the problem in 30 minutes! We thought we were going to have to buy a whole new sliding door but now it's better that when we bought the house! They even cleaned the glass!! Do not hesitate to call this company!

Really impressed with Matt and his team. They were very easy to work with and their work is immaculate. They do whatever it takes to make their customers happy for a reasonable price. They even completed the project in less time than he originally predicted. His work speaks for itself. I did not hesitate to recommend Heritage to my parents when they said they were looking for a crown moulding contractor. I will use Heritage's services again in the future.

We did refacing for our entire kitchen and cabinets in 2013. Keith is a great person and was completely involved in the process. He is a very trustworthy and honest person which can be difficult to find these days. You can see in the pictures the quality of his work. The work was completed in the time frame described and there was no change in the quote to the final cost.
In August 2017 we suffered a flood in the kitchen due to monsoon season. Half of our cabinets had to be taken out because of the flood damage. We told our insurance company about Arizona Kitchens and Refacing but they insisted on using some cheap random kitchen company to try to replace our cabinets. The results were a disaster. The refacing was poorly done with nail holes clearly apparent. The cabinet doors were damaged. There was no wrap around on the corners. The facing under the sink was loose. The color did not match the undamaged part of the kitchen.
Fortunately we were able to Arizona Kitchens and Refacing to redo the poor work of the other company. Keith had the poorly done work removed and replaced with new work that matched the original from 2013. His workers are friendly. Keith is a well spoken, honest, and caring individual. He is a great person to have work in the most important asset of your home. I strongly recommend Keith and Arizona Kitchens and Refacing.

Great company! They make sure the job is done right and they pay attention to the details...good quality work!

Great company to work with. Sina is a very professional real estate broker. Responds to all calls and emails in a timely manner and answers any and all questions you may have.

We hired Homework/Tri-Star (same owner/company) to remodel our kitchen. A simple project - basically a matter of installing new cabinets, fixtures & appliances in a simple galley kitchen. They highlight their experience with midcentury homes like ours.  There weren't any unwelcome surprises in the walls - no weird plumbing or electrical problems, everything as anticipated. It should have been straightforward.

And yet, every part of working with this company was difficult.  Main issues:
 
DESIGNER:  They require a fee up front for a design, rather than doing traditional bids. The designer was a nice person, but not detail-oriented from the beginning - designing a kitchen island, for instance, and not noticing there was no way to get power to it (until we pointed it out).  She was friendly but did not seem overly excited about or invested in our project.  We should have walked away at this point, even after paying.  

She re-did the design, and we went forward with building.  On our scheduled completion date, as the appliances were delivered....and she had failed to measure correctly for the refrigerator, a true rookie error (and something that ANY correctly used design software will detect!).  The fridge didn't open anywhere close to 90 degrees.  Worse yet, NO normal-size fridge would fit between the cabinets.  We had to choose between ripping out and re-doing the new cabinets, or putting a smaller, specialty fridge in an awkward spot.

I had even asked her whether she was certain the fridge would fit - I should've carefully measured it myself, but THAT'S WHY I HIRED A DESIGNER.  Managing details is the heart of a designer's job, right? Homework agreed to re-do (within reason) the cabinets if needed, but she did not refund any part of her $1,000 fee.   It would have been better, and free, to use software at Ikea or Home Depot.  Lesson learned.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT:  right before our start date, they changed our project manager without explanation.  The guy was nice but didn't know even the basics - in what order to schedule tasks, when appliances get installed, how cabinetry is hung, which contractor does what, etc.  We had problem after problem after problem.  Though Homework management downplayed our  concerns, and they tried hard to coach and supervise him, he was fired partway through our project.  A mess ensued as a new PM tried to take over.

SUBCONTRACTORS:.  The countertop guy was great, but most of the others were very unprofessional.  One of the subs took 30 minutes of my time to complain about how poorly he was treated and paid by Homework. None of them were adequately supervised by the PM - by the end, we took turns staying home to watch them....if I wanted to babysit subs, I wouldn't be paying a general contractor!

The electrician had to be called back three times to repair shoddy work; by the end I had to ask Homework not to let him back in our home.  At one point he covered up a jagged hole in the drywall and an *open* junction box with live wires....by hanging our phone over it.  The plumbing under the sink started leaking before the project was even done.  The tile guy never got around to sealing any of the grout.  I had to point out each of these problems to the PM, days or weeks afterward.  He clearly hadn't checked the work.  

OVERALL:  I will say for Homework that they aren't shady - I wasn't worried they'd skip town with my money.  They came back every time I found another problem.  They returned my calls.  The kitchen is nice, though I now worry that the subs took some hidden shortcut that could cause a disaster later on.

But for $50K I expect more than not shady. The project ended up taking 3x longer than planned. We paid the full contracted price; they offered no compensation for the long string of errors that cost us a lot of lost work time and money.  They didn't even have to cover the cost of re-doing cabinets, because we decided to just get the smaller fridge - by then, I couldn't stand the thought of continuing to deal with them.  

Their only small concessions, which I had to argue for, were 1) cancelling a change order to install an outlet that was overlooked and 2) buying a $60 trim kit for the range, which PM#1 mistakenly told me was included.  That's it.  

You will see on Angie's List and Yelp that the vast majority of my reviews are positive.  I take it seriously, saying something in a public forum that could affect someone's livelihood.  I purposely waited four months after our completion date to post this, so I wouldn't do anything in anger.  

A couple of the employees, and some of the subs, were great people who seemed knowledgeable and experienced.  But somehow together, they add up to less than the sum of the parts  We've done a kitchen remodel before with another company - we experienced 1/10 the hassle, and the same cost, for a much more complicated project.  Believe me, Homework earned this negative review.

Marty does a good job, good and cost effective construction; great attention to details...

Thank you to our wonderful supervisor, Bobb Bodisch for seeing me through a very long and involved remodel project. The drywall/hand texturing, cabinetry, wall mosaics, 6 baseboards and new recessed lighting have changed a 1990s house into a 2019 showplace!
Thank you to everyone at Republic West/Habitat who made this transformation a reality.

I cant even begin to tell you how happy I am with David!  Our backyard faces a golf course and our back wall (which is basically a retaining wall holding our yard) up gave out crumbling down onto the golf cart path below.  David was quick to reply to me when I reached out he set up a time to come see the damage and give us an estimate right away. We got 5 quotes and David was the lowest by far. Admittedly so I was nervous to use someone that only had one prior rating on Yelp, but I'm so glad I went with my gut and had him do the work.  We even had other companies that wanted to charge us extra to have someone come out and fix the metal on the view fencing which David took care of and looks just like it did before it was damaged.  The only downside was that they didn't paint the wall but he told us that up front.  I wouldn't have expected them to paint the wall considering its a random color along the golf course that I'm sure we would need to color match on our own anyway. I would use David for any other masonry or concrete work I needed done in the future and would recommend him to anyone that needs work done!

This is the second time using Apache tile on one of my rentals.  Quote was not the cheapest but I didnt need to baby sit the project.  Had to call the installer a couple times to make sure they are on track.  Happy with the overall process.

Still no response or satisfaction from this poor excuse of a business man.  In my dealing's with him and his business, he was dishonest in every way imaginable.

READ THE BELOW STORY TELL ME IF YOU'D LIKE THIS COMPANY TO DO WORK FOR YOU!!!

Two disabled people living in Carefree, AZ area used this company to add a bedroom in a garage area for a nanny to help them with their small children.  The original contract (dated 10-25-17) was fine, any changes made Verde astronomically over charged them.  Her husband passed away January 2018 who was handling the job and his wife was totally lost being disabled herself.  She was a good friend from high school she asked me to help her. As I reviewed this additional contract she was being charged for items she didn't receive and Ken Verde (owner) of Verde General Contracting refuses to credit her for soffit lighting of (4 can-lights for $3500) they didn't install reason being is all the a/c duct work had to run through them and they couldn't put them in. Ken Verde still feels they are owed the money.  There were changes made that Verde never had change orders for but it was very evident these were done and she had no problem paying for those.  Verde General Contracting has sent threatening lien letters to her when she only owes $4836.00.  My lord if the poor woman isn't devastated enough from the loss of her husband in January then a few months later she lost her mother.  We tried the Registrar of Contractors they wouldn't help her at all so here she sits with an unfinished bedroom for her nanny that could be helping her right now. A list of items not done properly: a can-light  installed in ceiling  instead a light fixture over the bathrm sink, drywall unfinished, paint unfinished, exterior doors installed with no seals on them, moved plumbing made a mess of the concrete while doing so, this list just goes on.  She has two young children and Verde General will not contact her to complete this job for her. She's exhausted just trying to keep up with the kids all by herself now, thanks to Verde General Contracting..
