Best Detached ADU / Guest House Construction in Phoenix AZ
From the first day that I met Irving, I felt that he was a man of good character. I would not have hired him past that day if I thought otherwise. Throughout the course of the project he took on for my client, he continued to exemplify that good character in addition to his amazing workmanship. His team was also very professional and even more timely. I was thoroughly surprised at how great the job turned out, especially for how quickly they were able to get it done.
This project included painting, flooring, carpeting, and more of a 2 bd 2 ba condo.
When obstacles came up, Irving kept his cool and professionally proceeded with whatever solution that was necessary. Very grateful for Moden Innovations, and will continue to use them moving forward! Thanks again!

I wish I had a better experience to report here. I sincerely hoped to recommend this contractor but am unable.
We were sold on a lot of things, few of which ended up being accurate. One of the most disappointing was being told they use Vets. Based on my experience this ended up being untrue, unless they were veterans of Mexico's military - I didn't ask that. 2 of the 12+ people that walked in and out of my home were Vets. One was the owner's brother. The two Vets were supervisors and worked a combined 5 or 6 hours over a 2 week period. Don't bank on them bringing vets in to do the work. That was essentially a sales tactic and it felt deceitful.
The team they bring in is very nice but speaks little English making communication challenging. We were told to have everything moved and ready by 8am on a Monday but no one showed up until we called, then they came at 10:30. They ripped the floor out in two hours and then said they forgot their tools and had to leave. They didn't come back. I also heard they hadn't been paid from their last job and feel that was part of their hesitation to do more than destroy my floor and leave for the day.
The next day no one showed up again and we had to call for a status update. When the crew finally arrived, they worked for 3 hours and told me they forgot their tools and had to leave. That leaves me to question the work overall ethic here. 16 hours of work time available Monday and Tuesday yet they only utilized about 5.5 hours total. Not the best start and the Super was rarely here to check up on things.
We had to pay for the dumpster and it was hosted in the driveway. However, every day we found someone else's house trash in there - someone else's construction garbage was being dumped into the container we had to pay for under contract. Why was I renting this for his other clients, or why didn't they inform us that is was shared? It was very unusual to me, to have trucks bringing garbage INTO my neighborhood and dumping in my driveway receptacle.
Next, the tile chosen was the faux wood planks. They blotted the planks in 3 places and set them. Once dried we easily ran knives underneath the tiles to show them the enormous gaps in coverage. Only 60% of the tile had thin-set and the potential for cracks over the next 5-10 years is huge and upsetting. We went to two different tile stores and without leading them into an answer asked them how to best lay such tiles. We asked if running silverware underneath the laid, dried tile gaps was in any way an acceptable coverage method and they said NO NO NO. We brought this up to the contractor. He said they were wrong and just trying to sell us something, although that wasn't remotely what transpired. I told him the back of the thin-set bag even says to cover the entire tile and asked him to show me anywhere else, online or in a store, that I could verify his method of 60% coverage. He stumbled and was at a loss without an answer. It appeared he was caught cutting some serious corners. They ripped up one room of tile to re-lay it. The others couldn't be done without us spending a ton of money to correct their approach to partially thin-setting tile. We would have to replace a living room of already laid tile. The fixed the dining room instead and told us they would change their method to complete coverage.
The kitchen counter came in, too. Unfortunately at some point when this installer was bringing it in and out (and in and out) to cut it down, it was scratched. He installed it, left it dusty when he said he was done, and split. As soon as I sprayed it down to clean it I saw the scratch, which looks to be from the teeth of a blade such a a saw. When we presented it, we were told it was already there and they can't do anything about it.
The toilets were also replaced and had hair intwined within. Eww.
The tile grout purchased was the second from the darkest available but when applied and dry, looked light tan and white in some places. It looks nothing like what we ordered and doesn't match the tile.
They tiled up to the bedroom carpet and left that carpet unattached. When we were in the final walkthrough trying to finish up, we reminded him to tuck that under so no one rips off their toes on the lip of the new tiles. We were told, "We don't do carpet." That's not how it was explained prior to signing the contract.
I honestly could go on and on like this. It was one thing after another and when we asked for corrective actions we hit a wall. It took long conversations to make them understand that long-term quality counts. They corrected some things and provided minor financial relief for the 5 day job taking 14 days with layers of mistakes. That was to pacify us and it worked. We wanted them OUT before they messed up more. However I feel the public should know about the potential issued involved with this contractor. I did not have a good experience here and have difficulty recommending without serious oversight of the work done.

My fiancé and I both work full time so we were so happy we found Slade Gibson and his full service team at Trinity Homes. They give you all the hand-holding and contacts you need to complete any renovation from soup to nuts. Slade and his team are on time and on budget.

Vlad came right on time for our (free) consultation. Gave a fair price and his crew showed up right on time the next week when I was available. They worked fast and efficient and consulted with me about design challenges for my older home guest bathroom. They did not leave w/o checking with me that work was done, and cleaned up after themselves. Hard to find someone to take a small half-finished job from previous contractor, but they delivered. 10/10 would recommend.

Alfredo and his team always do excellent high-quality work. We've had them rebuild the gables on our house, rebuild a covered patio on our casita, and replace several sections of warped and worn-out siding. Everything has turned out great and we're very pleased. We'll be happy to hire Alfredo's team to do more work for us in the future!

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

Thanks guys.

Keith and his crew were awesome from start to finish. I worked with Keith to complete a kitchen and master shower renovation. The tile work by Carlos is simply the BEST I've seen. The guy measures twice and cuts once and it all fits perfect. Paul the plumber knows his job inside and out!! The electricians used were great as well, despite the spray foam insulation they were able to put in new outlets and move others.
Keith is a hands on GC that goes above and beyond to make you happy as a customer. His easy professional style is beyond his years in the industry.
If you're looking for a contractor give Keith a call!!

The owner of this company is very nice and pays very close attention to detail regarding the job. If I had any questions he was willing to answer it and help me understand everything that is going on throughout the process.

I live in an older home so I am constantly having people in to tune up or fix something. I hired Five40 for a attic remodel to provide storage and even on the first day could tell these guys were on another level compared to the previous contractors we had hired. The attention to detail and craftmanship was so amazing that I ended hiring them to do multiple other projects. They are meticulous about cleaning up at the end of the day and left me with absolutely no mess (or dust) to pick up at the end of the project. I felt prices were very fair and estimates were right on every time. The crew was always on time and communication with the crew and Shannon (owner) was continuous to make sure that I was always in the loop on the progress of the projects. I plan on hiring this company in the future for other projects and would absolutely recommend them without hesitation!

We had a flood at our rental. The complete destruction of our dining room happened. Red Eye Construction came in and did a beautiful job with the put back and with quality materials, and in a very timely manner. They worked so well with our tenant who is having a very rough time in his personal life right now. I highly recommend this company you will not regret this choice in hiring Red Eye Construction to do any remodeling you may need.

Highly recommend them and we'll be using them again in the future - amazing!

I paid David Roberts $9000 for a home project in Kingman that he has done little work on that was to be completed in June 2021. I understand that he has personal issues that have complicated his life, however, he is a businessman and needs to complete his contract with me. I will replace this adverse review with a positive recommendation upon completion of the project. David did call me today assuring me that he would get back on the job. Let's get it done, David. Until then I could not recommend doing business with you.
