Best Damage Restoration in Phoenix AZ

I hired Bob and his team to install an aerial rig point in my house. I am an aerialist, and I wanted to be able to practice my art at home. When I first started looking around for a contractor to do the job, I quickly realized that most contractors would raise an eyebrow and tell me they didn't even know what I was talking about, let alone how to get it done. Bob was not like the others! Rather than shying away from the challenge of the unfamiliar, he met with me in person and we thoroughly went over my needs. He asked the hard questions, and made it clear that his upmost concern was my safety. He put a lot of thought into the mechanics of my rig point (which for safety needs to be able to support 2,500 lbs dead weight!), and devised a very safe and sturdy apparatus. I am very happy with Bob's work and with my new rig point! Also, bob and his team were incredibly nice, friendly, and clean. They swept up after themselves before they left, and bob checked in with me the next day to make sure my apparatus was working well. With Bob's permission, I am definitely going to refer my aerialist friends to him! He understands the safety needs of an aerialist, and does a fantastic job. I am so grateful to have found a contractor who not only wasn't afraid of a different type of project, but who dove in and completed the project to the highest of standards. I highly recommend using Bob for any of your contracting needs!!

Irving, was punctual, efficient, asked all the right questions and then got to work. My job went smooth, I would recommend.  Thank you.

These guys were awesome!  They replaced a bathroom door for me.  They are super friendly and professional.  Scheduling was easy.  I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Mark helped me out with a small bathroom remodel.  Even though it was not a big job and his team was booked months out, he personally took time to do the work himself, something he doesn't really do anymore.  It was more of a favor to us but, it shows his character and willingness to help out.  We would recommend Sunset Tile & Bath if you needed a remodel.

Andrew and his team did incredible work for us during a bathroom remodel recently. Even though everyone is extremely busy he made an effort to meet with us right away, showed up on time, and was very clear with us regarding what he could do and when.  We received a quote within only a couple days and were very pleased with his very detailed quote.  He was willing to fit us in to his schedule sooner than expected and worked with us through several design changes and last minute requests.  We would highly recommend Andrew for your home remodel projects and plan to use him on another in the near future.

I haven't written a review on Yelp in many years but Doug and his team were so AMAZING that they left me with no choice but to make sure everyone else on here knew that if they were looking for a professional, hard working and friendly handyman then hes your guy! He went above and beyond my expectations and I will recommend him to anyone in the future! Thanks again!!

We went with RH Design & Build for an interior remodel including a complete kitchen renovation.  Despite some challenges along the way, we could not be happier with the end result.  We recommend RH Design & Build for their professionalism and craftsmanship.

I highly recommend Ceaser and his team. We are currently working on a kitchen remodel and needed to resize a window so we could fit more cabinet space, and his team did an excellent job. They also replaced our ceiling fan and did some drywall repair that turned out great. Ceaser is really great about keeping in contact with you every step of the way and all the people he sends out are very friendly and do an excellent job. Turnaround is also very quick and quotes were fair. It was great to not need to find multiple experts for a complex job on my own!

Highly recommend them! Will be using Canterra for more stuff in the future!

His work is outstanding. Finds the problem and fixes it. Would recommend him to anyone needing some home repair. I would not use anyone else. He installed a new engineered wood floor in our home after removing outdated tile flooring. Excellent job and well done. He also replaced rotted facia boards. A great person to fix your homeowner problems.

We had a wonderful experience with lifetime and especially with Kyle who was in charge of our project!! He went above and beyond and continued to stay in touch and was very hands on making sure everything was perfect for us!

Very professional reliable trustworthy !!

I would highly recommend ....as its very hard to find quality reliable contractors !

The first job that we had done at our house was a view fence that needed to be reconstructed. I was so pleased with the job that was performed and the workmanship was excellent. A year later we needed another job done we decided not to get estimates from anybody else because we had such a great experience the first time with D&D Construction, we had the total opposite experience the second time around the contractors left a mess the job is not complete Dion came over on a Friday night with his contractor to show them what needed to be done to complete the job.
Dion told me that the contractors were going to come the very next morning to clean up and do some extra touchups, So my wife made the Final payment to Dion which was a mistake on our part lesson learned because on Saturday no one showed up so on Monday we spoke to Dion how his contractors never showed up and at that time that is when Dion decided to wash his hands of it and tell us we made final payment job is complete. So just be cautious when doing business with this company.

Alex and his crew did a garage conversion plus addition for us.  They turned a 2 car garage into a gorgeous 1000 sq ft apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a full kitchen and a laundry room. Their attention to detail and creativity was apparent at every step, and the end result is beautiful.  I went into this project with much trepidation, having heard stories about how awful it can be working with a general contractor. It is wonderful to have found the exception.

My wife and I recently moved into a new home that was looking pretty rough on the outside. We set up a walkthrough with Global Elite Builders to look into painting the interior and exterior. They gave us a fantastic quote,  we were ready to book, and then they took it upon themselves to find dangerous problems with our home's electrical wiring. We booked immediately.
Our paint job had difficult time frames and they had to work around a plumber, and they did so with zero issue. They fixed all the dangerous problems with our home and did a fantastic, quick paint job for a great price.
Now, whenever we want to make significant changes to the home we will call Global Elite.

I would highly recommend DJ's Custom Remodel and Design for any project! They far exceeded all of our expectations! DJ is extremely professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and honest. They completed a full house remodel for us and went above and beyond. Work was completed in an extremely timely manner. They only work on one job at a time and their pricing is reasonable. So thankful we used them for our project!

We had a few drawer brackets break in our hutch  and Quentin and Kenny helped us in a quick and professional manner.  Thank you for your excellent service!

Absolutely recommend this company! We had some water damage to our kitchen ceiling and needed new drywall, insulation, paint and fixtures put back up. A crew of two were available to come out a couple days after our request was made and they finished in a day and a half! Great communication all the way through and everything was covered and protected. After dealing with a handful of different companies doing work since owning our home, this was one of the best experiences we've had! We will definitely use them in the future for any other projects we have.

Our home was water damaged by a break in a fire sprinkler pipe. This led to us selecting Kowalski Construction Inc to do the mitigation, contents moving and storage, and the restoration of our home. Although my wife and I interacted with were polite staff and listened to our concerns, we experienced a terrible experience with Kowalski Construction Inc. In particular, we wish to commend Greg, Ron, Alfred, and Robert who were diligent and picked up the pieces after the fact.

The work done demonstrated incompetence, lack of attention to detail, and poor oversight and management of the project. Communications and hand-off between mitigation team, restoration team, packing team, and the billing group was totally lacking contributing to the mess that our home restoration project became. It is because of this that we feel Kowalski Construction service was ultimately substandard. My wife had to function as the de facto project manager in all aspects of the job because Jeramy was regularly absent from the site or nonresponsive.
I list a series of examples of the shoddy workmanship, lack of oversight and incomprehensible billing process.
1. Initial painting of the house was performed by inexperienced painters who had to be instructed by my wife about a simple as taking off light switch plates and not paint over screws that would make it extremely difficult to remove in the future if necessary.
2. Baseboards were installed in an erratic manner so they were not aligned and at different heights from the floor throughout the house. This required them being removed and reinstalled.
3.  Marble floor tiles, broken in the process of the dishwasher installation, were replaced by untrained individuals. This necessitated my wife finding a qualified floor tile expert for the third attempt.
4. A piece of granite counter was removed from one cabinet in the kitchen during the tear out and placed with the broken granite from the laundry room and severely damaged spare bathroom into the garage. This granite counter was intact and we were assured that because no granite in the kitchen was broken during tear out so we would be able to preserve the kitchen granite in toto. About 2 weeks before we moved back into our home i.e. ~4 months later, when my wife asked where this piece was, it discovered that the perfectly good piece of granite was removed to be discarded by Kowalski staff along with the damaged granite when my wife asked where this piece was. This resulted in purchasing a new set of slabs for the subsequent tear out and replacement of all the kitchen granite 1 month after we moved back into our home.
5. When the tear out was underway we went with Greg to Lowe's on June 28, 2018 to select hardware replacement including 2 vent fans for the bathroom and laundry room. These vent fans that were sitting at Kowalski Construction facilities were not installed before the new dry wall was put into the bathroom and laundry room. It necessitated cutting into the dry wall and inserting the vents from the ceiling above after the fact about 5 months after the vent purchase.
6. When putting in the vents Ron discovered that insulation was not put back into the space between the ceiling and roof as was required and billed for. This necessitated the last minute rental of a blower and blowing insulation in above the laundry room and bathroom when the cleaning crew had already started to clean the house for the pack back.
7. During the pack back it was discovered that the feet to our living room couch had gone missing. No one at Kowalski could find them in the storage facility.
8. A handmade occasional table that was stored by Kowalski had one leg broken off in the storage/moving process. Instead of getting it fixed, someone at Kowalski put some screws into the leg and table in an unsuccessful attempt to secure it. Then a Kowalski mover had the nerve to tell us to be careful with the table because a leg was loose.
9. Jeramy, who was responsible for overseeing this job, did not come to our house from early December 2018 until the completion of the job. How he could oversee anything is beyond my understanding.
10. The billing process Kowalski uses is opaque to the customer. An invoice for over $39,000 was issued to me for a supplemental contract. What this supplemental contract was supplemental to, was not clear. What charges were included in this supplemental contract were totally lacking. The billing staff was unable to tell me what this was for when I called.

These points are described because I considered them major and resulted in redoes, last minute fixes that resulted in carryovers beyond when we moved back, and demonstrated lack of consideration for customers. I cannot recommend Kowalski Construction for any restoration project, and recommend that people avoid dealings with Kowalski Construction on any residential projects.

I remodeled my master bathroom and chose Peak One Builders & Restoration as the General Contractor. They are members of my dream team. I like everything about Peak One - I like their story, their people, and their commitment to quality. The owner, Mike Christensen, was very detailed in his bid. He had more answers than I had questions! The Project Manager, Lee Ellis, could not have been better. Lee provided a project schedule and plenty of updates throughout the project. He scheduled meetings at my convenience and was always on time. I can't say enough about the quality of the work, the attention to detail, and their professionalism and trustworthiness.

I think the true test is how I feel about Peak One now that the project is done. The remodeled bathroom is beautiful! They have followed up on every punch-list item. I am very happy with the project, I have recommended them to friends, and they are at the top of my list for the next project.

Hired Golden Bear to remodel master bath and second bathroom in March 2020.  I gave it 5 stars so you can read about my experience and who this guy really is.  You decide.

Mike and his partner did all the tile work, plumbing, electrical and some touchup painting themselves, no subcontractors - with the exception of the glass shower wall/doors, which everyone subcontracts. Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome.  They were very easy to work with, which is why I hired them.  On several occasions Michael saved me from my bad ideas.  

But there were issues around the finishing details. I had to go over the work and point out with stick notes many finishing details like at the base of the cabinets, grout cleanup in corners and rough finishing edges.  Overall in the end the master bath came out great.

But in the second bath the amount of grout clean up issues were extensive.  For some reason they decided to change the color of the grout without my consent and it looked terrible. I was told the color would change after it dries.  

Well the grout color did not change when it dried, the color they used what not what I selected.  Michael stop taking my calls after he admitted they used the wrong color and said they would come back and fix it.   I had to hire a tile company to change the color of the grout.

I do recommend that Michael hire someone to do the finishing work he does not like doing.  Would I hire him again or recommend him - NO.

Ray Ouellette was a referral from the realtor I hired to sell a house in poor condition.  It needed a lot of remodeling to be presentable and ready for sale.  Ray and Tatum diligently prepared a scope of work and a budget, got all the work done promptly, and within the budget.  They did some odds and ends I had overlooked without charging extra.  The work was done beautifully.  I did not have to give them a punch list because everything was done right the first time.  I am in the commercial development business, for almost 40 years.  These guys are as good as it gets.  I would not hesitate to refer them.
