Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

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!

After years of of hiring substandard contractors and handymen that really didn't fix the problem, I learned the hard way that you have to pay for quality. After working with PDG on several matters, I can say without hesitation that PDG Construction has provided me and my family with quality repairs and construction services.  

I first met the owner, John, years ago. He is a straight shooter and will tell you exactly what is wrong, how to fix it, and how much it will cost. In my research, I found that PDG is licensed, bonded and insured, which made it easier to hire this group.

But more importantly I write this review to brag about he great results I received. Most recently, PDG Construction remodeled my parents kitchen and bathroom, and the results were spectacular! The bathroom remodel went smoothly, and I will continue to refer to them as a quality general contractor to all my friends and family.

Sun Country Renovations exceeded all our expectations. We used them to remodel our kitchen and add hardscape to our backyard.

Our yard was already rather mature and complete but lacked space for our chaises. Steve figured out how to add to our travertine deck while making it appear it always there. He used every inch of space efficiently.

The kitchen was even more impressive.  We wanted more counter and cabinet space to an already expensive kitchen. He was able to match the cabinets and add more countertop space.  We had thought our original builder had done quality work until we saw the quality of this crew. Tile, electrical, plumbing all turned out perfect. He gave us interesting ideas we had not thought of that took the kitchen to the next level. Thank you.

I have several projects in my house and wanted to get connected to a good handyman.  I sent out several requests for quotes and decided to go with Jeremy.  The first project was to replace everything in my toilet tank.  I made sure to explain exactly what I wanted done and selected Jeremy.  He gave me a fair quote, in line with others, and I booked it.  Upon the plumber's arrival, I showed him the area, again explaining what was to be done.  I then asked him to confirm the cost.  Well, he said he thought it was just the flush valve that was to be replaced, not the entire contents of the toilet and told me it would be double! to do it all, which would have come in over $300.  In his own email to me he referenced the job as rebuild toilet.  I don't think just replacing a flush valve is considered a rebuild.

I have since had the job done (correctly - complete replacement of tank contents) by another firm, and the cost was inline to what I was originally quoted.  I was very disappointed with this experience.  I am a senior citizen and my husband was out of the house at that time; that may have had something to do with it.

Added 1/25:
Jeremy, I booked directly with YOU.  YOU gave me the quote and the plumber who contacted me was given the job by you.  I think you have a problem with the people that are representing you and your business.  End of messages.  I'm done with this.  No more 'spins' please.

The entire process from setting up the appointment to the service tech that completed the work was perfect.  Tech called on his way which was even before the promised time window.  Told the project would take about 30 mins and was done in about 20 min.  Tech was personable, professional, and gave some great upkeep tips.

If you want the best, contact Heritage. Their installation team is fantastic. They went above and beyond all expectations. One of the team, Mason, noticed my car tires were low and added air with their compressor. Very caring. Very professional installation and worked in a very timely manner. This company was one of four I contacted. Nathan is the only one that actually came and gave me a quote. Got the work done in a very timely manner and it looks beautiful. My room has vaulted ceilings with lots of crazy angles. I had them add a beadboard board and batton wall in my bedroom too. Fantastic. They did an amazing job! I love it.

We hired Arizona Kitchens and Refacing for a large project of refacing cabinets in our kitchen, bar, hallway, and laundry room as well as adding new cabinets in our bonus room. The quality of their work is impeccable. I have worked with contractors for decades and I have never worked with a contractor that was a perfect 10 until I met and hired Keith. Keith and his crew are that good. My wife and I could not be any happier and a huge thank you goes out to Keith and his crew for making our home look beautiful. You guys are simply the best.

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 cannot begin to explain how disappointed I am in David Zarate and D Masonry Construction. He poured my foundation slab on my house addition and messed it up being off by about 6 inches on one side which would have caused a HUGE problem if the General Contractor that used him didn't make it right. David then promised me he knew how to pour a tennis court and that he had poured several for customers before. So I trusted him which was a BIG MISTAKE. Look at the photos I uploaded.  Don't take my word for it just look at the photos.
1) The court was not level and appropriately sloped as when General Acrylics came to flood test it before they striped it, there were puddles all over the court of water just sitting there.
2) The court surface finish was not done correctly.  It was suppose to be done in a light broom finish which he said he knew how to do that no problem.  He did not and the court was anywhere from rough to smooth all over different parts of the court.
3) He didn't suspend the wire mesh in the court right in the middle of the 4 slab like he is suppose to, to ensure no wire mesh is exposed on top of the tennis court.
4) Crooked tennis posts.  He never bothered to ensure the tennis posts sleeves were set straight.  Look at the photos.  Unreal.
-Then when I asked him to please make his mistakes right, and pay for me to get a true tennis court company to correct these items, he told me he wouldn't and claimed he didn't do anything wrong!!!!  Look at the photos!  
If I could give a 0 review, I would... unbelievable to have someone take advantage of me like that.

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.

He should deserve no stars at all. He does NOT guarantee his work. Very poor workmanship. Stay away!!!

NOT RECOMMENDED!

Took the day off from work to meet this company at my home today at noon.   Appointment was made over a week ago.

At 11:15 I get a phone call advising me they can't make it.   Really?    One lame excuse after another.   No time for sub-par businesses like this.   They cost me money today.  Not happy!

Glad I didn't hire them.  Could have been a disaster based on how unprofessional they appear to be.
