Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

Super affordable and quick. I love the new paint and excited to keep working on the exterior of my house. Its a night and day difference. My husband and I are avid DIYers but so glad we hired Classic Shades to tackle this part of our renovation. They did the job so much better than we could have and were top notch professionals.

I was hoping to find more than just a LinkedIn profile, yet didn't. So here I am making one. Restorations by Gary Rait I would highly recommend for anyone looking to restore their sewing machines. From what I think he said, he restores more than just sewing machines and their cabinets. I found this excellent buisness and met Mr. Rait at a quilt show in Prescott Valley. For a reasonable price he restored my early 1900's Singer treadle sewing machine to working order. He did a beautiful job in getting it looking like a actual piece of furniture that would be found in a real antique store, not some worn-out falling appart thing at a flea market as it was. I am very happy with the care taken in picking it up it from my home in Prescott bringing it to his shop and returning it in a short amount of time. I also appreciate him saving what he could of the wood and machine parts.
If there was anything higher on Yelp besides the five Woohoo! As good as it gets! stars, he would definately deserve it.

I don't know where to start this review. Everyone, from Darren providing a fair estimate to Jason, their Office Manager,who responds very quickly to any questions  to Justis & Cole doing the initial work, to Mike following up the next day. I just can't say enough. They are all wonderful.
Once the Plumber Guy, Carlin, finished repairing the pipe Darren came out within a couple of hours and gave us a very fair price. He even left some fans to start the drying process. The next morning Justic & Cole came out around 8:30 to do the clean up process. Eventhough we don't have any asbestos, they treated it like we did. This was very comforting to know that they took precautions. When Mike came out he said everything was dry (per his meter) except for a small part of the carpet. He left one fan to help dry this out. Avery came out the next day to pick up the fan.
Would I recommend the guys at PureTec Restoration, you betcha! If I have a problem in the future, I will call them in a heartbeat!

Excellent service and they responded quickly to minimize the water damage.  Highly recommend them.

This company is truly awesome!  Misty and her crew are so helpful and responsive. I had my household items in storage for an extended period and when I finally got all my stuff out they handled everything very professionally and efficiently.  I want to thank them and highly recommend them!

Dallas was awesome, he was very patient throughout this process. We had a lot of questions for him and he was able to answer all of are questions. He was very friendly, professional. He was able to help with a program that helped us with our deductible that made it affordable for us, I'll highly recommend Ecodry and Dallas for assistance please keep up the good work.

I have known Ryan for years. As an insurance advisor I have sent him clients for a long time. My clients are always happy when Phoenix Flood was able to keep the claim low and off the insurance companies records. Ryan helped my clients with water damage resulting from lots of issues including dripping sinks, leaking showers, broken pipes, and so many more issues.
Ryan saved my clients thousands and thousands of dollars in premium by not turning in claims. He helped keep me profitable on those small losses.

I have sent clients all through out the valley including Mesa, Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tempe to Ryan. His team does a great job with any kind of water loss!

I used ACR for a home owner insurance claim after my water water heater rusted out and took out my 4 year old (very expensive) Pergo floor. I used ACR as they came recommended by my insurance company USAA. If it were not for Jennifer, I would have rated this company one star lower as there were a decent amount of communication issues, but Jennifer gave it her all to make things right, and she did. I had my entire main floor plan re-tiled, which went right on time. But some days people would show up at my house unannounced ready to work. There was a major lack of communication and the problem wasn't really with ACR it was with the contractors they contracted work out to, because then those contractors would contract that work out to other companies, so it was hard to be in contact with who was doing the actual work. I think my main discrepancy was with the contractor they had to do my baseboards. I am a handy man and have worked in the trades, I understand how it works. This guy for one wanted to over charge me for base boards, which initially I stomached. But, when he contracted out the work he never gave me a time or day when it was going to happen, (which had become a trend with this guy.) So, when some random day some random guy shows up ready to work I had to turn him away, as I was busy that day. When I called the contractor back he wanted to schedule me out another two and a half weeks! I am already paying the up charge and now I am being put on hold, for work I could easily do myself. So, I decided to tell him forget it I'll do it myself. When I tried to get a hold of him he was no where to be found. Finally ACR got a hold of him for me. I told I would do the work myself, when I said I wanted a refund he said I would have to talk to ACR about that. ACR was very accommodating and apologetic. Jennifer, the MVP of ACR, even helped me out after ACR had confused my bill and quote with another client which was much high then we originally talked about, but she helped me out and honored our original price. Basically to make a long story short, I think ACR as a company is good, I just think they need to spend a little more time screening the contractors they work with. Like I said the work that was done was timely and done well.

Where to start??? May 25th my main water pipe broke in our Master bathroom, I called Disaster Restoration (1st Response Team) to review damages and help with the 2 of water in our carpets that was in the master bedroom, hallway leading into the Living room. The gentleman Josh brought some industrial fans and humidifier that flipped our circuit every 20-30 mins and these machines with hoses had cracks leaking more water on the walls and carpet that wasn't wet (living room) This lasted a total of 6 days as the walls and carpet dried out. ($6,461.54) We were told by Josh that due to a test conducted we had Asbestos a team was coming to take care of the Asbestos and we would need to be out 6/31 to return later that day after the air quality test resulted a positive response. The Asbestos team that spoke very little English advised me and my two children that all the personal and furniture would need to be removed so they can start the cleaning. 2 1/2 hours we spent moving stuff out of the master bedroom, both bathrooms and Living room and shoved stuff ANYWHERE WE COULD! My other three rooms were so full of stuff these rooms could not be accessed. Only to be told before we left it would be a 3-4 days job and us having NO PERSONAL ITEMS TO LAST US 2-3 days!!!!! ($9,826.39) It was a total of 5 days!!! The quality air test, mind you I had to call and follow up on was completed on Saturday June 3, because the business was closed that produces the results we would not hear until Monday?!!???? Monday I finally call the office to find out we CAN enter the house to find No toilets (they put them in my tub and shower, damaging the pan) no sinks or vanities and everything stripped from the living room, bedroom, bathroom and hall... (Still unlivable) It took the company until June 7th to get someone out to look at the damages to write an estimate, it took this guy until June 12 to finalize the estimate to send to our insurance company for approval. It took Him until June 16th to meet to sign a contract that work can be completed and it is now June 29th and he has had ONE OLDER MAN in our house for the last 4 Days putting up some dry wall in a few areas in the house, adding texture to the drywall and removing the old trim and adding new trim... 4 DAYS!!!!!!!! The house is still not painted, we asked back on June 7th when he was there we wanted the 3 bedrooms painted so the house matched, he basically said it is not a priority and will not be done when the carpet is put in. The TILE IN BOTH the bathroom were NEVER CHECKED FOR WATER DAMAGE and when we pulled it up. There was water and mildew and little worms close to the water... I AM SO OVER DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY and the LACK of professional work they have provided. STAY AWAY FROM THIS NIGHTMARE OF A MESS!!! They do not care about their clients!!! The put a temporary lien on your home without advising you to protect their payment and treat you LIKE A NUMBER!!! I was told tonight, basically they will take their time as they have other jobs to do. We are not a priority ... For $9.8k I bet the BBB will think otherwise!!!! Bless the person that deals with them NEXT!

Do NOT hire this company for any reason.  They did some work at my home nearly 3 years ago for some minor water damage.  One man came for 2-3 hours and my insurance company paid them over $4000.  This week I was served with a lawsuit naming me personally for nearly 10K with no explanation.  My phone and email have not changed and they never attempted to contact me.  I don't know why they think I owe them 10K but I now have 20 days to respond in court or there will be a judgment against me.  This is a dishonest company and I regret using them tremendously.

beware of geo roofing!!! geo roofing is a horrible horrible company!!! in early february mike peterson (geo salesman) came to my house and gave me a quote for a new roof on my house. he said they were running 2-3 weeks out. i paid them a down payment of 5500 and they gave me an install date for february 26 2019.  letty (geo office manager) called me on the evening of february 25th (the day before they were supposed to start) and told me they wouldn't be able to start until march 6th now because they were so backed up. march 6th came around and nobody showed up and nobody called me to let me know what was going on. i tried to call mike peterson (geo salesman) and he didn't answer. i left him a message and he never called me back. hours later letty (geo office manager) calls me and says all her roof workers got in a car accident and now they wouldn't be able to start until march 11th. so that day came around and guess what...nobody showed up again and no call from geo letting me know what was going on. i tried to call letty but she would not take my call. they have a receptionist screening all the calls. the receptionist was very insistent on getting my name and why am i calling. they would not refund my 5500 down payment so i had to call my credit card company and dispute the charge!!! this company is soooo bad. i just don't want this to happen to anybody else. beware of geo roofing az!!!

My mother, 82 years old, lives alone in a small home in Payson, Arizona. She had a house fire in December. Reconstruction needed to be performed and asbestos was found so it needed to be removed. The insurance adjuster asked if my mom had a construction company she wanted to use and she said no. So, the adjuster recommended a friend of his...Stratton Restoration. They showed up and immediately wanted my mom to sign all kinds of paperwork including paperwork that said she would agree to have their company do ALL the work. She called us and we told her not to sign anything. They did not give up. They tried and tried and she finally put them on the phone with us and we told them we would like to get several bids and we would be happy to look at their bid. They said that they just wanted to clean everything from the fire and put it in storage for my mom until she figured out what she wanted to do. Like they were doing her a big favor. So, unknowingly, we told her it was okay to sign on for just cleaning and storage. No one in our family had every been through a fire before, and they knew that. Again, they tried to make her sign an all inclusive deal. Again we had to get on the phone with them and made them hand write in the words contents, cleaning and abatement only. She agreed to that portion only. We decided to go with a local company to do the actual construction. We then got a bill from Stratton for $30,000!!!!!!!! If you would have asked me how much it would cost for them to do what they did, I would say $1,000. max. Not only that, but we then find out that this money came directly out of my mother's insurance claim!!! Money that should have gone to her for contents, got sucked up by Stratton. I requested an itemized invoice (that took many emails to obtain). It was padded like crazy. They had hours and hours billed for supervising for someone watching someone else take photos of items. They exaggerated their hours. They exaggerated their days. They exaggerated everything. They charged $65 to clean a $5 pair of shorts. That doesn't even include the storage for the shorts. If they would have told my mom that she would have told them to throw them away. Anyone would. They all have to be thrown away anyway because of the asbestos and smoke. Their inventory list and photos were incomplete and incompetent. I asked several times where the complete list was and I was told over and over Don't worry, it may not be listed but it's all there in the storage unit. Well on an insurance claim it's ALL suppose to be listed. Not just whatever they choose. On top of that they were charging $239 a month for storage units. I called the storage unit facility and found out the charge was actually $95 per unit, not $239. Not once did Stratton give my mom an estimate of the charges before they performed any work, and not once did they mention that this would be coming directly out her pocket. We would have never in a million years agreed to this if we would have known the price and where the money was coming from. And they knew that. That is why they did not say a word and tried to rush my mom into signing so quickly. They also allowed her to go into the house where they said asbestos was found without a suit or mask to retrieve belongings. Who knows what the medical implications of that will be. They are now holding her belongings hostage unless she signs over the $29,346.87 check. They take advantage and prey on people and the elderly that just went through a very traumatic experience. Unconscionable. Since then, while speaking with others, I hear they do this all the time. They find out the insurance limit and take every penny they can.
My advice is to NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
They are thieves with no conscience.
My mom is retired and lives solely on social security that is at poverty level. They have taken almost all of her claim money and left her with smokey, asbestos tainted personal belongings. Oh no wait, she doesn't even have that because they are holding them hostage.
RUN!

They came out quickly to the 1st appt to sign the contract, then it got awful...I'm shocked by lack of keeping their word with missed appts and not calling back as promised...and unfortunately needless damage detailed below. Integrity is key in this business...I hired Richard Appel, owner of Drystar, signed their mandatory contract & gave my trust as the sole contractor to work with my insurance company on an unexpected water damage claim Jan 2019.
At their 1st visit to home, men placed wrong tape instead using turquoise duck tape on modern home ceiling to hold plastic for taking out counters on insurance claim access, immediately pulling off the smooth texture mud & paint from professional drywall ceiling at the site unnecessarily causing more damage to home. They continued taking out the 3 cabinets and in this process, dented the side of the stainless steam dishwasher, hit both sides of the hanging shoulder height dark cherry Thomasville cabinets above their work on either side,  leaving obvious pale wood unfinished gouges and then removing remote powered under-counter 15 tv combo unit, dvd, music player, they left broken pieces found on the floor which control the unit to remain flat when not in use.  Richard Appel's men immediately apologized, said no worries they will take care of the damage. Next step & 2nd visit, his 2 estimators come to do a full total of the claim and pack out.

They said they would have totals probably by end of Wednesday or Thursday. Instead a week later I call and ask if they have them ready to go over and they said they would get back with me.  Then one of his men, said they have too much other work and won't be continuing with this job; dropping their responsibility. Their contract specifically reads to please contact them before the Registrar of Contractors, which I did following not finishing the totals I was waiting on. Again, no response. I turn as see they have given me their business card asking me to go on Yelp and give a review.

Very disappointing, they were paid in full within 10 days as their contract demands and absolutely NO actions towards addressing and completing promptly this matter when I asked by calling and by written email to date as listed again in their contract to do. I hope I hear back from you Richard confirming you will pay today for these damages, without further delay. Thank you.

Ripoff artists.  Told us 5 days, and now 3 days later, they're just going to start doing with asbestos.  They keep saying the  insurance company will pay for it. How do they know what coverages we have? Hate this company!  Verbally told us that they won't damage any our cabinets.  But as I read the contract,it says that they are not responsible for any damage to anything.  Hate this company.
