I think its fair to say that a large percentage of remodeling projects end with either a desire for divorce, to torch your contractors truck and office, or both. Not so with our most recent significant remodel,

Working with our contractor, Jerry Nowell, his office and the highly skilled and good natured subs he employed, resulted in an experience and outcome that surpassed our expectations. Jerry is a standup guy who was always keeping us updated on all aspects of the project including the good, the bad and, on occasional, ugly. If there were hold ups he was very quick to let us know why and what he had done to address the related issue.. No surprises. When we found ourselves questioning how we wanted to proceed on some aspect of the project, his experience and good eye proved invaluable in the decision process. On many occasions he helped steer us clear of making unnecessarily expensive decisions ,often showing greater concern for our stated budget than we.

Jerry has the unique gift of bringing calm to even the most hectic and potentially stressful aspects of the process. In short we can't recommend him highly enough and or begin to express our true gratitude for his professionalism, honesty and patience throughout the process. Jerry, Yvonne and all the subs, sincerest thanks.

Tony his team literally saved me from a nightmare.  I hired someone who was getting their company up and going to make my brick wall higher in my backyard.  It was originally only 5ft tall and everyone could see in my backyard. This new company completely botched the wall and was not unstained it correctly.  I had to fire them on the spot but they've already created such a mess.  I contacted Tony to come check out the horrible job to see if he could provide me a estimate. He came out the next day and let me know what all needed to be done to correct the issue and finish the job.  The estimate was a fairly priced for the work ahead.  I agreed and he came back the next day with his team.  They had my wall done within hours which included reinforcing and correcting the problem from the first company.  He was super professional,  cleaned up their mess ALONG with the previous company mess  and the communication was great. I highly recommend Aldana Renovation

Awesome work on a difficult job replacing 50 year old steel frame windows set in brick. Joe and his team did it right the first time, they were able to save the original tile on the sills due to their care and diligence. Good people who take care to do high quality work, cleaned up everything well as they went.  We scored to have them do this job!

There isn't enough stars for Schott Development, they deserve 1000x1000. Chris and his team are amazing and the work they do is beautiful. They take pride in ALL there jobs they do big or small. If you can think it, they can build it. I highly recommend them on your next project you have.

Water damage from AC condisation   pipe being plugged up. Two story house and we were out of town when this happened. We are very happy that
Kim and  Kyle King with Diversified Remodeling LLC
Came to the rescue.

These guys are awesome! They did a great job remodeling my office! I highly recommend them for everything!

I just cannot say enough great things about this company and their team!  I just had a few projects done- a wine refrigerator installed, cabinets and tile installed in our master bedroom.  They are so professional.  They do quality work, super clean and spare no detail to ensure the project is done right.  My husband and I are so impressed.  If you are considering a project, this is the contractor you want to hire.  Thank you Tony and thank you to your team.

I highly recommend Tom and his crew for any job. He helped me out during an extremely difficult time after the loss of my husband. They showed incredible empathy through the whole process, were flexible in services I needed, gave me a great price, followed through on all they promised as well as disposed of some things I was not able to take. Words cannot express my gratitude. I will definitely use them in the future and hope anyone that needs their services will as well.

BUYER BEWARE!
QUALIZONA = SHADY, LIARS & THIEVES!

CONS - TOO MANY TO FULLY CAPTURE!

Mike (one of the front men / co-owners @ Qualizona) came out to 'help' with a significant water damage claim.

He is a smooth talker, he is the reason why contractors, in general, have a negative connotation associated with the contractor community, and unfortunately, I fell for it.

He quickly provided all sorts of details and stories about the high quality work which his company is known for & quick turnarounds he promised to complete to get my home back to its pre-damage state. He also spun a tale which firmly created a 'fear' environment, stating work must begin ASAP or insurance would not pay for the damages, and how he would be the only person to trust in this process. He claimed this was because insurance companies ALWAYS cheat policy holders. He also claimed the goal of your insurance company is to NOT help you, and only pay for as little as possible. ALL lies!!

Mike capitalized on my lack of experience with insurance claims, the full scope involved with the repair, and what he fabricated as he described of how things really work with insurance claims to his advantage.  

Mike created an 'us' (Qualizona & me) vs the evil insurance industry scenario leveraging the fabricated tale he told. He used this to have me sign a 'standard' & very 'contractor-friendly' contract immediately. The contract actually served to limit my rights,  granted me no ability to cancel, nor get my deductible returned, put no responsibility on Qualizona to perform work within any time period, and no time line which work must be completed by.

He stated I was in the best hands possible, that he was a former insurance claim adjuster & new all their tricks, and that Qualizona would be there any needed to help to ensure that all work would be completed within a two weeks maximum after signing the contract & paying him the deductible immediately via a personal check. As described below this could not be further from the truth.  

He also claimed I needed to sign his contract immediately to allow work to begin, and that Qualizona could begin working right then and there, while also managing the whole claim for me.

Sounded great! ... but then reality hit.

The next thing that happened was Mike received that signature on his contract, and a check from me to him (not Qualizona) for $1k to cover my deductible required by home insurance.

Then Mike was kind enough to 'get right go work' completing about $150 worth of work towards the ~$20k total damage associated with the insurance claim. He then left my home in a VERY messy state, debris was EVERYWHERE. He deposited my check, and then he completed ghosted me for about 3 weeks. ZERO communication at all - I tried calling, emailing, contacting Hassan, leaving voicemails & emails daily - no replies from any one at Qualizona was received for weeks!!

When Mike finally was able to briefly communicate, he often hung up mid conversation, and NOT ONCE did he, nor anyone from Qualizona show up as promised. He had all types of excuses ready (phone service issues, his phone breaking, his phone got lost, issues with his cell phone carrier resulting in it not working, flooding had taken down his internet connection, his truck had broken etc... the list goes on & on)...

Mike has many other fabricated tales, often ones that contradicted his previous stories - he lied SO much he became unable to recall which tales he had told me.

My insurance company reviewed Qualizona's quote and helped me understand what the scope of work that Qualizona had included in their quote to get my home back to pre-damage condition.

Only through the support of my insurance  company, and working to align work activities actually started, did we noticed Mike / his crew had only PARTIALLY completed one very minor item from the contract we both signed. The value of the work which was only  partially completed was really only worth $150 total, when compared to the contract we signed.

Mike then continued to dodge any work he had promised to complete for months. Eventually I had to just accept that he stole my $1k deductible, and I interviewed a few other contractors, picked the best contractor company from  the ones which I interviewed (they proved to be reputable, honest & quick workers, who completed the full repair in 3.5 days) .

I also found out many more lies that Mike had told as time passed. Some highlights include: Mike stated he was heavily recruited by contractor firms since he was well known & respected in the industry (in reality he really he had recently been fired by his previous employer). He did not have ANY insurance claims adjuster experience at all (as he claimed). He also told me he worked in Italy for years & knew the language, but when I asked him a very basic question in Italian, he had absolutely ZERO Italian language skills.

We had a contract for bathroom remodel after Harvey of $9k of which we paid $4500 to start the job here in Houston. The Houston location filed bankruptcy and we were contacted by the sales rep of it. Can't remember his name but very helpful (5 stars on his part) and told us to call corporate. Been speaking with Liza Rizzo out of Arizona on the whole situation. Was promised it wasn't going to take long that they had others in our area that they were already working on. Fine I understand that. It was explained to me that they were only seeking the remaining balance of the contract to get the supplies and what not ordered. Understand that as well. Ok Ms Lisa, let's move on. Phones back and forth as to when things would get started kept pushing our time back. Hey no big problems, out bathroom is semi functional still. Now today I get a phone stating that they are seeking $7500 for the job to be started. What the heck happened to our verbal agreement of $4500 which was the remaining balance of the original contract? Tried to explain to Lisa what we had agreed upon and this lady wouldn't let me get a word in otherwise. This lady is something else.

We were very pleased with the update of our kitchen and bathrooms. We worked with Burton and his team to install granite countertops, we replaced our outdated tile, redid our cabinets and installed a beautiful new sink in the bathroom as well as the kitchen. I felt comfortable with all of the contractors in my home and the outcome exceeded my expectations. We would definitely use Patterson Homes again in the future.

Jerry and his crew did an amazing job!   I am in Texas and needed to find someone to move beds at my parents house in Goodyear.  They moved one king bed up stairs and set it up and then assembled another with electric frame downstairs.   My parents were thrilled with how friendly and helpful Jerry was.  They are so happy they now have someone to call for any other repairs or help they may need.  I would HIGHLY recommend JNB for whatever project you may have.

David from ABA came this afternoon
And I now have the handles that I ordered. Vanity looks so much better and David did a great job, cleaned up any mess from drilling new holes . I'm now happy and thank David and Joe for completing the job as ordered.
