Best Shelf Installation/Addition in Phoenix AZ
i hired irving for some built in shelves and a bench in my front living room. he came to my house to quote the project & all was fine (besides the scoff he gave me after he asked what material i wanted him to use, which i replied "idk, wood?" and he scoffed and said well there are different types-- i'm not in this line of work so how would i know?)
we moved forward w a start date & he drew up some sketches for me. he drew up 2 options, we both agreed one looked better than the other so we moved forward.
start date got pushed back 2 days bc of truck trouble. understandable. contract said start time was 8-9am, he text me to change it to 9-10 & i told him that's fine. they didn't show up until 1045. he had been to my house to do the quote, so he knew how far of a drive it would be.
cant remember if it was the second or third day, but i noticed it wasn't looking like the sketch we agreed on (a 6th shelf or the bottom being filled in & wainscoting across the bottom- we agreed on wainscoting option). so i nicely asked him about it and he said "you wanted a shelf" i told him no, we agreed on the wainscoting. and i showed him proof of our conversations & he said ok, & went & got more material to finish.
job took 3 days which was fine. everything looked good from what i could tell.
i had my painters come 3 days later to paint. my painter had to sand an area down on the bench bc the bench was hitting the side of the shelf when opened.
you'll see in the photos that from afar it looks amazing, but up close, the "finishing touches" were anything but that. u can still see the screws, the edges of the entire structure are uneven. and it seems that plywood was used for the underneath parts of the shelves & are now bowing. i sent irving a video 2 weeks later asking if i should be concerned about that and he said "The Wood is probably bowed or got bowed after paint. your fine. It's natural wood gets bowed as it gets exposed to chemicals like paint or even the weather"
not sure why one would use a material he knows could do this once painted?
like i said, the shelves look great from a distance. but up close, there are so many flaws & it makes me sick to think how much money i spent for a "finished" job like this.

Despite all of our efforts to double-check and triple-check our measurements, our new refrigerator was, literally, less than 1/8-inch too tall for our current kitchen cabinet enclosure space. Most contractors wouldn't help us because the job was "too small". Ellen jumped in to help us out. The father/son team she engaged was at our house on time (yes, when was the last time a contractor actually showed up on time??).
They jumped right into the problem and were done adjusting the upper cabinet height in no time flat. They did a great job with no complaints or do-overs. In this day 'n age of mediocre inept contractors, this was an incredibly pleasant change from the "norm".
Needless to say, White Builder has my vote and I definitely will be referring my friends and neighbors to them.

Tiana and Glen did amazing work on my kitchen remodel. They delivered on everything I requested for with quality workmanship. Their communication was top notch throughout the entire project and it really gave me a sense that they truly cared.
They put a lot of effort in getting into all the details of the project and we're thorough with all aspects. Because of of this, we did not encounter any major unexpected issues on the project.
They completed my full kitchen remodel along with replacing the flooring throughout most of the house in a month's time frame. They provide a neat schedule of all the different work to be done and dates of when that work is scheduled for. We followed this schedule almost exactly and they were even able to work in a change to the project without pushing the timeline further out.
I have been completely satisfied with their work and would without a doubt recommend them for home remodel projects. They are respectful, professional and charge very reasonable rates. I am looking forward to using their services again for a future bathroom remodel.
