Best in Phoenix AZ

My name is Ivy Singletary, and I'm a patron of Canterra Construction. I needed to have a 10x12 'do-it-yourself' outdoor shed built, and I took to Yelp to find a company to fulfill the need.

Katherine, one of the owners, wrote me back immediately, we conversed, and she offered a free consultation for an estimate. She arrived with her staff in tow at the appointed time, fully prepared to address every concern I had previously discussed with her on the phone.

From the onset, I knew I was in competent hands. Canterra Construction was diligent throughout the entire process. Even when the shed arrived earlier than expected, I shot Katherine an email, and she was quick to accommodate the schedule change with an immediate start date. Throughout the process, Katherine was available to meet any need, inquiry, or concern and maintained exemplary response time with her calm, pleasant demeanor.

On the installation days, her team was on time, polite, accommodating, professional, communicative, focused, and meticulous in their work efforts. During the three-day job, her crew left the premises tidy each day upon completion. Words can't capture my appreciation for their professional partnership in completing this endeavor.

I've enclosed pictures before and after my project finalization, and I sincerely hope this review helps someone else in their decision to give Canterra Construction ample consideration. [The painted version is the model photo from which they worked].

I highly recommend them and can attest that they've earned my business earnestly. I am one ecstatic customer pleased by the job they've performed. I would unequivocally hire them again should the need arise.  

I am available for inquiries about my professional recommendation and referral if needed.

Sincerely,

Ivy Singletary

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.

Thanks for coming out on short notice and doing a fantastic job painting our wall! Fair price and great work...highly recommended!!

We called about  adding a walk in closet, remodel master bath and guest bathroom.  They sent out an estimator that was not comfortable doing estimate and rescheduled to have the owner come out.  After waiting over a week, I was texted that the job was to big and they would need to pass.  When I called to schedule I confirmed that they did full remodels and not just retrofit tub/shower pkg.  I wished they had been honest and not wasted our time.

We hired VAM Construction and Remodeling to close in a drywall entertainment.  Their estimate was 42% lower than the highest bid.  The project included closing in the entertainment center, removing an old TV from a different wall, patching and painting that wall, installing an electric fireplace, and hanging a Frame TV.  VAM arrived as scheduled.  They began work on the Monday before Thanksgiving (11/21/22) and it was completed on Tuesday, 11/30/22.  VAM employees were friendly, competent, and asked questions to ensure the project met expectations. The wall looks better than I imagined. I'm so happy I chose VAM and will call them for our next project.  THANK YOU!

Outstanding results and reasonably priced! Work was beautiful and cleanup left the home spotless! Highly recommend

Alex and Veny are the absolute best to work with!  They fit you in the schedule very fast, they keep you up to date on the schedule and communicate extremely well.  They do wonderful work and I am looking forward to working with them again!  Very professional.  I would highly recommend them for you bathroom remodeling, glass, and countertop needs!  My bathroom is beautiful!

Brian and his team previously did a major remodel of my master bath including removing soffits, installing new cabinetry, counter tops, plumbing, lighting, freestanding tub as well as expanding the shower,. They did an excellent job, showed up on time and worked daily on the project through completion.  Aside from their high quality work, they adhered to my budget and communicated regularly throughout the project.  
Brian and his team just finished a major redo of my laundry room, replaced all our can lights with LEDs throughout the house, added four can lights to our family room and master bedroom as well as replaced our water softener.  They did another phenomenal job.
I've recommended Brian to a number of my clients and colleagues who have all been pleased with his performance.

This is a hard review to write because I can't quite word how I feel about what Paul Rene did to my home. I also have a hard time taking the pictures that would best showcase the work they did.
So I'm just going to do my best.

1- My library is absolutely and insanely beautiful. The lines, the wood, the feeling, the craftsmanship are all one of a kind and special to my wife and I.

2- The sturdiness of the install is exceptional. There is a rolling ladder that actually rolls around a corner. That is not normal. It is beyond what you would expect, and just amazing to use. The track system that the ladder slides on is super unique and low profile. It is sturdy and functional. I love it.

3- The creativity Paul Rene employed to design and manufacture this library was beyond what I could have envisioned. He sat with my wife and I and listened to us. We are lifetime collectors of books and avid readers. Every book on our shelves have been read at least once.
When we sat down together he asked about our personalities, what we loved about books, our personal taste.
A few weeks later he came up with a draft design. We worked back and forth for a few more weeks adjusting lines and adding more curves until we have the library you see pictured in the review.

4- Paul Rene worked hard to install the library. The team they used to install everything were courteous, and incredibly professional.
After a month, I asked them to come back to look at a part of the ladder slide system and they were here adjusting it in no time.

I can say this honestly- Paul is an artist without peer. My photos barely capture what he designed., and what I have the joy of living with. His partner Rene is a technical master at construction. Bringing the vision to a function that is delicate and sturdy enough to hold thousands of well loved books.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions regarding Paul Rene.

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.

The quote the owner gave us was competitive and i had decided to hire him.  But before hiring him i sent an email asking for their license number and two references I received no reply whatsoever. Weird !!!

No show, no call and when called, indicated he arranged an hour window to arrive, which is not true.  This appointment was made with him not through a service or other staff.  Total disregard for your time and your work schedule and with something as simple as arriving on time for a meeting in which he set the time, take note people.

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".

No estimate was ever provided to me after one of the guys came out to my house and I showed him the work I wanted done. So I moved to plan B.

My home warranty company sent me a plumber from Laszlos and I was beyond disbelief on the level of unprofessionalism and rudeness I received from the owner at Laszlos. He tried up charging me a ridiculous amount for a water heater my warranty company covered. When I asked the owner the model and brand of the water heater his company would be installing he said "You don't need to know that, the only thing you need to know is the extras I am charging you and what you are paying out of pocket" excuse me sir, this is my home and of course I need to know what is being installed in my home. I ended up going with someone else and paying out of pocket just so I didn't give him the business. Also the plumber the owner sent was also pretty rude as well. As consumers we should not allow companies to treat us poorly and still give them business just to save money. If you look through my reviews you will see the plumber I ended up using and I ended up giving 5 stars to. Avoid yourself some headache and if your warranty company wants to send Laszlos tell them to send someone else.

David Dickinson owns this business as well as Demo Done Right. I had my old kitchen torn out. Cabinets were replaced by C & F Cabinets (good company other than referring me to David Dickinson). He refused to fill in some of the holes in the wall caused during the demo. The patching of the ceiling drywall was not matched to my old pattern. Was told that if I painted it enough, the paint would cause it to smooth out (seriously?). He oversaw the countertops through another company. When the company told me they did not need a template to cut the countertops, and I insisted that they did, David told me they didn't, and now the countertop was not cut properly as we had discussed and looks unprofessional (~$4000 job). I'm still left with drywall spots all over the floor and walls. I was told it would wash up easily, so why didn't they wash it up? I  accidentally found out that David charged me $65 each for 3 LED lights that I found at Home Depot for ~$8 each (a 7x markup). This makes me wonder how much he might have marked up other parts of the job. When confronted, he said I insulted his integrity and refunded me almost half of the LED costs. Would not recommend either of his companies.

If I could give a zero rating I would. I hired red ram construction too Install 700 ft.² of tile. After nine days they still had not completed the job, they Laid the tile uneven, left grout all over the floor, and cabinets. We now have to remove the tile and start over. In addition they never cleaned up after themselves.  I would not hire this contractor under any circumstances whatsoever.
