Best General Contractors in United States

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!

Sergio came to replace some broken tiles. He was prompt and the work looked perfect. PDG is the one to call for the small projects that you have been putting off.

This company never responded which I believe is a very poor business practice.  I have a legitimate need and the means to get my project(s) done and yet not even a thank you but we're too busy right now.

I may have already reviewed Jeremy, but just in case not, he's really extraordinary. He's worth all 5 stars and then some. He does an excellent job, shows up on time and is very professional. While you might have to wait awhile to see him (the good ones like him are busy,) he's worth the wait. On his first job with us, in our new home, I had a list of things for him to do a mile long. And to complicate things, we were still in the SF Bay Area, when Jeremy was here in the Valley doing the work. But he got everything 100% right...and then some. We've since used him again and again and he's now are forever, handyman.

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.

Matt with Heritage Crown went above and beyond on the crown installation in my home. I am a general contractor with very high standards. Matt worked with our interior designer and my wife to create an impressive look.
I will use Heritage Crown for all of my projects. When a general contractor uses someone in his own home, it typically means they are really good. They did crown, wainscot, base and trim. They painted, caulked and touched up all if their work. It was truly turn key.

We did extensive research relevant to refacing our kitchen cabinets - paint, stain, cover with wood simulated contact tape, and 3/16 inch real wood refacing material.   We contacted at least a dozen contractors in the Phoenix area - big box, kitchen remodelers, general contractors, and franchised kitchen and bathroom remodelers.   It was a nightmare with these companies relative to their exhorbitant prices, material selections, warranties or lack of, and minimal or no creativity etc.

Fortunately at the end of our search we found Keith Wolfram and Arizona Kitchens and Refacing.   We clicked with Keith right at the onset of our first meeting.  Keith is exactly what a homeowner wants in kitchen remodeler -  open minded, a good listener, cooperative, flexible, and adept in providing excellent design suggestions.  

Keith is very hands on.  He personally took all of the detailed measurements, ordered the materials, delivered them to our home and worked with his installers to assure the work was done right the first time.

He even provided to us a portable multi shelf rack for us to use in storing all the cans, dishes and other kitchen items during the remodeling process.    His team are just like Keith in their attention to detail.   They even took our dog out for walk while we we were away from home one day.

It should be noted that Keith was not the least expensive quote we received.  Keith will provide a quote that is firm and he will not negotiate.    The slight premium that we paid was WELL WORTH IT.

Our cherry woods cabinets make our kitchen look brand new!!!

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

I am been with this company for a few years and all I can say is that it is a great place to hang your license and the broker is awesome !!

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...

I did a total kitchen remodel in Arizona from California so continuous updates were essential. Habitat was professional from beginning to end. Their work was excellent and their price more than fair (I got 4 bids prior to hiring them). Everyone that worked there was very professional and paid attention to detail. All work is overseen by a project manager who was excellent at keeping me up to date and keeping the project on tract. Once they started the project they were there daily until completion. Would totally hire them again!

Ryan and Lyra are amazing. Great communication, expertise, professionalism, and amazing final product!!! Thank you so much!!!

We needed some interior drywall repair work done and also utilized Arise Construction to help us finish installing our laminate flooring in our master bedroom.  THEY WERE FANTASTIC!  Marcos and all of the gentlemen we worked with at Arise Construction were amazing.  Communication was prompt and all phases of each portion of the job were completed in a timely manner at a fair price.  We are very pleased with the service provided.  We are looking forward to working with them again.

Shane was very patient with my wife and I during our lengthy selection process.  Apache Tile had connections for the most reasonable cabinets we ever found so we used them to source those as well.  We never thought we'd be able to afford solid surface counters in our bathrooms and kitchen, but finding Apache Tile Outlet made that possible.  I'm grateful to have found these fellas and look forward to referring them to anyone who needs a countertop guy.

They didn't show up after we agreed on the date and time. I didn't find out until I asked my Tennant if the issues were addressed. He said he didn't even call or text to let him know he wouldn't show. He also had my number and didn't call or text.

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

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..
