Best Deck Remodeling in Phoenix AZ
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.

Doug at Husbands 2 Go provides excellent services with fair prices and top notch work. He is punctual, very responsive and very pleasant to work with!
I originally called him to fix/replace my broken shower pan. The quote I received to replace my shower was beyond the scope of what I was looking to spend to have a working shower at this time.
Doug was kind enough to refer me to a company that was able to simply repair and refinish my shower. The repair saved me thousands of dollars. I really appreciate that he was willing to refer me to another company knowing he wasn't going to get the business for the shower replacement. That was really cool of him.
When the shower refinishing/repair company came out to fix my broken shower, they discovered that I had a broken shower head pipe behind the wall. So, I called Doug to come out and give me an estimate to fix it. He was at my house within 30 minutes of the time I called him. Since the pipe was behind the wall, he also needed to cut and fix some of the drywall to get to the pipe. His quote was fair and reasonable, so I scheduled him to come out and fix it.
The day he came out, I asked him to also look at some piping under my bathroom sink. He noticed that the plumbing was screwed on too tight, so he loosened them up for me at no additional charge while he was there. He fixed the pipe and drywall. He worked efficiently and was finished within a couple of hours. I am very pleased to say that now I have a very nice working shower in my master bathroom.
All of this is thanks to Doug for his referral and shower head pipe repair. Next time I need a handyman, I will DEFINITELY call Doug at Husbands 2 Go! I strongly recommend him for your handyman needs!

I needed a new contractor to do some renovations on our new home so we turned to Yelp and and found shepherd contracting. We used Thomas and his team when my new home needed some updating. The communication was above and beyond. We love our new bathrooms and will post updated photos soon!

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!

Had my laundry room redone and it is just perfect! I had never undergone a project like this before and they were so willing to answer all of my questions to make sure that I felt comfortable. The gentlemen who came to perform the project were just wonderful and made sure everything was precisely to my liking. And they made sure that everything was cleaner than when they go there. Rudy and Kimberly were excellent to work with as well. Will definitely have them back (hopefully the same crew) for future remodeling projects!

Our kitchen remodel was a challenge, but they met it head on and worked their magic- it's beautiful. They take pride in the work they do and it shows. Highly recommend them and we'll be using them again in the future - amazing!

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!

I've had the pleasure of working with this team extensively through and office and clubroom renovation in 2019. They've been exceedingly responsive, honest and transparent. Vladimir brings a cool, collected and calm energy to the projects he's managing. I'm a very type "A" client and he handled my questions concerns and ideas with tact, poise and professionalism. I'd highly recommend this team for any of your renovation projects.

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.

We did a full remodel on our house. The original contractor kind of bailed on us and didn't finish some of the work. We called several companies to finish the job for us. Zach and Terrell finished our project in a matter of days. They came out and gave us an estimate and we were fortunate they could fit us in between jobs.
They installed a custom built in electric fireplace with designer touches. The work turned out amazing. In the past year we've probably had over 50 different companies in our house from plumbers to contractors to painters, etc. Peters Family Construction would get our #1 ranking out of all of them.

We re-tiled my place of business and we were extremely happy with Derren and the work that he and his guys did. Excellent work, great value! Derren responded quickly to all of my questions and he explained everything so that I understood, yet didn't feel talked down to like some contractors do. Derren was flexible and got our job done just the way we asked. I will be a repeat customer for sure!

Gilbert did excellent work. He repaired both our porches and the workmanship was done with quality.
He quoted me a price and did not go over it. I would have him do more work for us.

Do NOT use this company! Not only did they NO SHOW, for the 10am apt at our home today they DIDN'T CALL to even reschedule or postpone! By noon, my husband had waited 2-hours so he called, left a message and it's now 6pm. NO return call, NO excuse or apology. NOTHING! Thank you Erika, for wasting our time and the time of another company we could've booked in its place.
