Best Fences And Gates in Phoenix AZ
My pregnant wife scheduled Bob to come over to have a look at my house so I could go over all of the things we wanted to do (move some walls and add an office and a closet and update the kitchen etc). Bob arrived and greeted me with a long story about how another customer's pug bit him on the genitals before we even said "hi" to each other.
I moved past it and started walking him through our house trying to show him the things I wanted to do. He apparently doesn't have very good spacial awareness because as I was explaining the moving of walls and doors, he never fully grasped the concepts - he was unable to visualize what I was talking about.
Three other contractors at this point had gone through the same tour with me and took measurements and made drawings and took notes. Bob did none of that. As we were going through the kitchen, he stopped me and asked if I had an interior designer who was going to draw up plans. I told him that my wife set up our meeting and that I thought I was just going to go over the basics of what we wanted and explained that a couple other places had taken measurements and whatnot as we went along and presented their plans/designs based on my explanation along with an estimate.
He started getting aggressive really quickly - which baffled the shit out of me - and started talking to me about how he "could measure [my kitchen counter] and be 2 inches different from the other guy and come out with a bid that was $10,000 more." I mean, I am pretty sure that all tape measures are based on the same standard units, so... otherwise they wouldn't be used to measure things, right? I didn't say that, but it was a really weird thing to say to me.
At this point, I said I totally didn't expect any sort of set-in-stone budget or drawings or anything - I did start reiterating that I just thought he was going to come over to get an idea of what I wanted and we would go from there, but he interrupted me to say "if this is how we're starting off, then it's best I just leave" or something to that effect, and starts stomping towards my front door. I say "what? why? I didn't do anything to you... why are you...?" And he slams my front door behind him and then slams my front gate and then slams his car door and then revs his thirsty truck engine and then turns around in front of my house and then spins his tires to drive away... Minutes later, he cancels the calendar invite like a psycho.
I'm REALLY glad he left. Better he left now than in the middle of a job. He's SUPER unstable. His giant truck is covered in Americana and flags and eagles and stuff from what I could tell - maybe he could tell I'm an anti-war socialist from the cut of my sweatpants. I can be difficult to work with at times, but I know when I'm being difficult and when I'm being super nice and easy going - if this was my fault, I would admit it. I did nothing that I can think of to set him off. Best I can figure is he saw a Bernie Sanders sticker on my car or doesn't like cats or - most likely - he realized he was completely in over his head with our project.
Maybe all he can do is patch some drywall or manage someone while they lay tile. It's just a bizarre and totally unprofessional way to decline a job. I never swore at him. I never said anything sarcastic or rude. I didn't talk down to him... I assumed he knew more about what he did than I did and admitted that my wife set it up and I was just doing what I thought I was supposed to do (which was to say things like "I'd like to move this door over here and get rid of this wall and open up this room to be an office" - hoping for some guidance.
This part is supposed to be sort of fun. Planning stuff out. It gets harder and more tedious and you get more impatient as the project goes along. I support veterans and local businesses, but this guy scared me, and if I knew it was going to go this way at all, I wouldn't have told him where I live or had him over to my house. I would advise you to do the same unless you just need to patch a wall or something simple maybe - just don't come to him with a larger project that involves any sort of vision or dialogue. I'm just thankful he didn't kick my animals on his way out. Hopefully he didn't vandalize my car - gonna have to review the security footage.
(Edit - I don't think he did anything to my car, but I got him on my security cam storming off and slamming my gate and also talking about getting bitten by a dog before we even say "hi.")

I have worked with Petrus on several remodeling project and have always been impressed with their work and professionalism. The Petrus team is top notch and I like the fact that the owner (Fabio) always come to the job site during the installation to check on his crew and make sure everything is done to perfection. Their prices are great (competitive) and I always get a quality install!

I hired them to remove a load bearing wall from my house, I wanted to make sure whoever I hired knew what they were doing since it's such an intricate job, Alfredo showed up to give me an estimate and was very professional and knowledgeable, we agreed on a price, two weeks later his crew showed up, they were super clean, put plastic on all my walls/furniture/flooring to protect it from dust, they got to work and did a fantastic job, I'll definitely keep their contact info for future projects

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!

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.

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.

Had a great experience with Elvis. He's a super nice guy. He came over to do an estimate on repairing my screen doors and was actually able to fix them right then and there in less than an hour. I asked him several questions about other projects that I want done in my house and seemed very knowledgeable and willing to help with whatever I needed done!

Worked with Ryan for scheduling and Mike for the work. I had a back door installation I needed done and they did an awesome job! Their pricing was extremely competitive and Ryan and Mike were both extremely responsive. Due to my house being totally uneven, the installation took much longer than anticipated. Ryan and Mike made sure to still do a great job and ended up coming back the next day to finish the job and get all the finishes done. I really appreciate the responsiveness and that they did whatever it took to get the job done, even with a smaller job in a crazy market where contractors are a hot commodity. Will definitely be using them again for future projects.

Jon and his team are wonderful to work with. I needed my kitchen and bathroom remodeled and was lost on choosing a design. It was for a rental property and I had a budget but also didn't want to cut corners on the design. Very efficient, and met the budget and time line. I look forward to using him on future projects.

I have been very impressed with the professionalism and work of Rob, Andrew, and our engineer. We had some interior roof work that needed to be done. I called several places that either couldn't do it or didn't use an engineer. Andrew handled all the steps and was very communicative with me about each step. Rob was the employee who came out and he was kind, professional, and thorough. He worked through cold and rain and even though the job took more than initially planned, he didn't leave until it was done. All the pricing was laid out up front and there were no surprises. I would definitely recommend PJH for any construction needs.

We were dreading tackling an out of state renovation on a family investment property. After interviewing and securing bids from seven contractors, we took the leap and decided to go with Ignite Construction. Was just a hunch. Two and half months and a full renovation later, a friend who's in the flipping business asked me, "Ok, tell me all your contractor horror stories!". I looked her straight in the eye and said, "None. I don't have any. Marie was absolutely phenomenal. The whole process could not have gone more smoothly. And we are thrilled with the final product." My friend couldn't believe it. "That NEVER happens!". It's true. Marie and Ignite Construction were consistently professional, organized, transparent and thorough. Communication was prompt and clear. She helped us prioritize our budget and set clear deadlines. Her team delivered. And ahead of schedule, to boot. To top it all off, she's a just really nice person who loves her job. A genuine pleasure to work with. We had a lot going on back here in CA, so it was an incredible gift to know that we were in good, ethical, professional hands and the job was on track. We cannot thank her enough for helping us get this property finally up and running and back on the market. Ignite Construction exceeded all expectations and we cannot recommend them more highly!

After a FLOOD I was in desperate need of a plumber to isolate and fix the problem, which the guys at Copperstate did in no time! Once my plumbing issue was solved, it was on to the next can of worms. I needed drywall work, electrical, and an entire kitchen! Vince from Copperstate sat down with me and addressed all my needs during the design process and when it was time to get everything repaired and installed Copperstate blew me away again and had my entire kitchen remodeled in an efficient and timely matter! Took these guys a week and they know what they are doing! The proof is in the pudding! I'll definitely be contacting them in the future!

We had a roof leak into a very small space behind our water heater. There was small water damage and a bit of mold. Other companies quoted us $1700-2700 because they wanted to remove the water heater. Elias was able to do it for a third of the price without removing the water heater! He was a great contractor to work with- let me know when he was on the way and was very understanding of our wanting to keep costs down. He did a great repair job and we plan to ask him to help us with other projects in the house. Thanks Elias!

Have never worked with a construction company that was this thorough every step of the way. From that first phone call I knew Everardo was a pro. I slept through the night not worrying about how I was going to pay for the kitchen. Prices are very fair and these guys don't track mud in your house and blame it on someone else. Good value for sure. Will attach photos later. My kitchen cabinets look awesome!!
