We called George at Contessa Stone to come give us a quote for a new fireplace mantle and overmantle. He came and looked at the fireplace we had and worked with us on a design that both my wife and I loved. He gave us a timeframe for the stone delivery and the installation and Mario who did the installation of the Stone was really great. He truly cared about the work and took his time to make sure it was done right. The whole process was really smooth and any small issues were resolved very quickly. I would definitely recommend George, Mario and Contessa Stone to anyone.

I've known Tim Mullooly for over 10 years. He built the patio I designed in the picture above for a good friend of mine. In 2009, Mullooly Construction remodeled our house inside while we lived here. He phased the work. Performed very well, and coordinated his subcontractors well. I recommended Tim to several other friends and he did a great job for them too. I even recommended him for a remodel of a rental house our church owns. A couple years ago I hired him to oversee the replacement of our old windows. Tim is honest, completely trustworthy and does quality work. My background was in commercial construction so I know quality when I see it.

How often do people have nice things to say about their contractor?  Luke at Vista General is amazing.  

This is the second time I've used his company in a major remodel and I'm just as happy as ever.  What's more, I've referred other people to hire Luke and they too sign his praises and, I'm told, are hiring him for more work.

I love my wood, it looks beautiful because of their workmanship.  They were always concerned that it looked the best it could while installing my wood.  Fair price and meticulous!

Joel and his son came to the rescue! We moved in to our new home in January and while I'm in love with pretty much everything about it, the uneven roof lining along the peak of our house had bothered me since day 1. The seller denied fixing it in our inspection period, so it was on my *lengthy* list of move-in to-dos.

I found AZ Studs, Carpentry, and Remodeling on Yelp and gave them a call! Joel called me back within an hour, willing to come over and take a look that day. Now friends, this is a very minor job compared to their full remodels but he was willing to help put my type A mind at ease. He installed a wooden piece along the base of the peak to make it nice and straight. Yayyyy!! I'm so happy. It has literally bothered me every day since move-in ( I AM CRAZY) and I'm so grateful that he was willing to take the time out of his *very busy* schedule to do this super tiny, 45 minute job for me.

I will definitely be calling Joel and his son (love the father/son team) back when we do future projects on our home. Can't thank them enough!

These guys are awesome! They did a great job remodeling my office! I highly recommend them for everything!

I had spoken with 4 different companies to inspect and repair my house fire sprinkler system in Scottsdale.  I'm selling my house through corporate relocation and the relocation inspector had limited understanding of fire sprinklers.  Larry provided honest and practical advice that avoided unnecessary repairs.  I didn't receive the similar level of consult and advice from other companies.  Very much appreciate his honesty and top notch expertise/service.  Highly recommend and big thank you again!

Very timely, reasonable price and excellent work.  What more could you ask for.  Stan came out and installed a new smart sprinkler timer I got at an SRP seminar.  Would highly recommend

Let me just start at the top because that is what they did. First Don the owner of the company came out and spoke to my wife and I. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He also has a great inviting personality. He offered lots of great ideas while listening to all input of what my wife and I wanted.

Next the real boss Lori who is Dons wife came out. She followed up with making sure all the T's were crossed and all the I's were dotted as they say. She is great at communicating and coordinating everything . She also has a great inviting personality.

Heather who was the field manager and direct contact person for us did an excellent job of keeping things on track. If things did not go the way my wife and I wanted she was right there to make sure things were taken care of to the satisfaction of my wife and I. We were always able to reach out to both Lori and Heather and they get right back to us.

We also like that they are open to suggestions and want to know if there are any areas of concern so that they can address the employees to make sure moving forward that the area of concern is not something that will happen again. They truly aim to please.

Now as far as the craftsmanship. All we can say is WOW, WOW, WOW!

We would highly recommend Levelup to anyone who is looking to have any kind of remodeling or contracting work done! And we would definitely not hesitate to use them again on any project we may have in the future!

If I could give Rick and his crew more than five stars, I would. Two men in his crew, Mike and Carey were personable, professional, and very thorough. I hired this crew through Lowe's to have two bathrooms renovated completely with new appliances and replacing one trashed shower and installing a new shower where a bathtub used to be. They first ensured all of the materials were available to finish the job and then they went to work tearing out the old, including an old linoleum floor in both bathrooms and they fabricated the walls out of a very expensive material that I had purchased. As they worked each day they apprised me of their progress and were very courteous. They used drop cloths liberally on every stick of furniture near the renovation and covered the floors thoroughly. Upon completion each day they cleaned their areas as much as possible. The completed job was amazing and beautiful! As soon as I acquire some more money by next year I will hire these guys for my kitchen renovation. They are professionals in every sense of the term!!
Sincerely,
Steve D

I've been meaning to write this for a while. Chuck (William Ahl) is as good as they come. We had moved into our home last year and it had a large load bearing wall that we needed removed that was adjoining a sunken in living room. Chuck was the first contractor that was able to tell us right away what the scope of the project was going to be and how he would get it done. From the onset, he was always very professional. He kept good records, always showed up on time, and was very pleasant to be around (we had to live in our home during the construction). It was a big job but him and his right hand man Evan did a fantastic job and it turned out beautifully. A few more things I appreciated where Chuck took the extra step: 1. He always cleaned up after every day as much as he could. We were still living in our home and we appreciated that everything was kept as neat as possible especially since we have little kids. 2. He does not ever compromise safety. He will always do the job right the first time even if it means more work. We have peaked ceilings and he took the time to put up temporary supports while putting up the new beam. 3. He prides himself on his work. He won't cut corners. He has a high standard for himself and will make sure whatever project he's doing will be done right every time. In addition to our load bearing wall Chuck also made us a beautiful custom chimney cap, filled an old doggie door, and took out some really big columns. Our new great room is now complete and absolutely beautiful! I definitely hope to use Chuck again for future projects and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to start a small or large project. He is licensed and insured so he can do anything!

MK Remodeling and Design worked with us to remodel our master bathroom, create a library (complete with a murphy door), and remove a built in entertainment center from our living room to open that space up. From start to finish, they were incredible to work with. Christy, James, and Mike were all responsive to communications.

Once work began, they really focused on our project, and they were always here on time. The entire team, and all the contractors they hired, were on point. Our neighbors asked us how we had people showing up every morning like that to work on our house. We just told them to hire Mike!

My husband and I are beyond happy with the results. Each room is beautiful. Christy was amazing to work with as a designer. She took my general ideas and really transformed them into gorgeous spaces in our home. These folks are absolutely worth the time and money to use. No complications. Exactly what we wanted. We will definitely call them again if we want to redo anything else.

I used Aldana Renovations to do some repairs to my subfloor that had water damage. Andoni came out and did an awesome job of repairing the flooring as reinstalling the laminate above it. His prices were more than fair, he was on time, and worked quickly. I would definitely recommend him.

Dave & Mario are true craftsmen that know their trade very well! They are completely reliable and trustworthy. They have done 2 major home remodels for us consisting of kitchen, bath, tile, flooring, general structural work, plumbing, electrical, heating and air duct work. We are thrilled with the finished products! They have been in this business for decades and have great working relationships with many sources that were very beneficial to completing our projects.  They were able to advise and guide us along the way. They were completely reliable to do everything they said, in the timeframe stated, at competitive prices. They worked hard to get each task completed with quality craftsmanship. Through both of the remodels they handled themselves professionally and cheerfully. We enjoyed working with them and they were great with our dogs!  We fully recommend American General Contracting for any new construction or remodeling!

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.

Just finished the garage project in Willow Valley, AZ. 40X50 with three large doors. I am a weekender and retired. The project was finished from inception to completion without me lifting a finger. With all projects of this magnitude there are always SNAFUs. The strength of a company is how they handle the problems. Southwest's team handled my very small punch list very quickly and with exceptional professionalism. My close neighbor built a 50X60 garage, sub-contracting himself; his turned out very nice, but he and his wife were constantly discovering they had to have other professionals come in to complete their project. Much less stress the Southwest way.

We discovered a slow dishwasher leak that compromised our kitchen island and caused great damage to the cabinetry. We visited a few stores who informed us that they no longer carried our cabinets. So we googled and started calling down the list of contractors that were listed as carrying our brand of cabinets. We called at least 4 companies and Keith/ A.C.E. was the first person to get back to us. Another company returned our call a few days later and the other companies did not respond at all to our messages. So the first thing that we really appreciated about Keith was that he was quick to respond! Keith came out the same evening to assess the damage and quoted us by that night by email.  We had gotten quotes from Home Depot and also another well established store and Keiths quote was fair.  We selected A.C.E. and they got started the next day by tearing out the damaged and wet wood and setting up fans. Our situation was unique as we were not trying to remodel but restore and keep the costs as minimal as possible. Our cabinet color was no longer available so Keith worked with us to find the closest match veneers to cover the new cabinet boxes and we reused our existing doors that were in good condition. This helped keep costs down for us. A.C.E. and its workers were very professional, trustworthy and like others have mentioned quick to resolve any concerns that arise. Having workers in and out of your home for an extended period of time is not fun, but when they are as professional as Keith and his crew you get through it and the end result was total satisfaction! Our sincere appreciation for the quality work and our restored kitchen! We highly recommend ACE!

Be aware of this company the owner David Zarate likes to take money for the deposit and runs away with your money and never comes back to do the job

Beware!  Owner Trond Matteson is unreliable and undependable.  I first used him to do artificial turf on my front yard a year ago on reference from friends.  Although the job was completed there were issues that he promised to fix several times but never did.  I recently decided to do my back yard and decided to give him a second chance since we have so many mutual friends, yet this recent experience with him has been horrible.  I asked him to come look at my yard and give me a quote, and he said he would come by the next day.  2 days later without coming to see my yard, he asked me to measure the yard and send him the dimensions.  Once I did that he agreed to do the job and said he would be here Thursday to do it.  After not showing up on Thursday I contacted him that afternoon to ask where he was and he said he had a funeral to go to and couldn't make it.  He promised he would be here on Friday.  He never showed up on Friday and no word from him until Saturday morning when he texted and said he would be at my home in an hour.  He never showed again!  Later that day at 3pm he called and said he couldn't come until Monday.  I told him to forget it and said I couldn't ever trust that he would show up after letting me down 3 days in a row.  He pleaded with me to reconsider and swore he would be here personally Monday morning before the sun came up to do the job and promised I would be happy.  Big surprise....he never showed up again!  4 days in a row he said he would be here to do the job and never showed up.  Do not believe anything he says and don't use this company!  I was hoping to have my yard done for Mother's Day but guess that won't happen!
