Best Common Area Remodeling in Phoenix AZ

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.

Used Az remodel Pros to redo the entire master bathroom! Loved Brian, Izzy, Carlos and team. There's a lot going on In the world so finding good people that care is important. The team was great and make you feel like family. We plan on using them again for other projects like our kitchen and stairs. Can't say enough goodness about this company you will be in good hands! Very responsive and thoughtful.

We had a crack in our interior bedroom door which required the door to be replaced. After trying to replace ourselves, we called a professional to help. Stan was kind, professional, and managed expectations very well. Would definitely use his service again.

We hired VAM Construction and Remodeling to close in a drywall entertainment.  Their estimate was 42% lower than the highest bid.  The project included closing in the entertainment center, removing an old TV from a different wall, patching and painting that wall, installing an electric fireplace, and hanging a Frame TV.  VAM arrived as scheduled.  They began work on the Monday before Thanksgiving (11/21/22) and it was completed on Tuesday, 11/30/22.  VAM employees were friendly, competent, and asked questions to ensure the project met expectations. The wall looks better than I imagined. I'm so happy I chose VAM and will call them for our next project.  THANK YOU!

I had Rezcom design and build my backyard. I'm very happy with my results! They are organized and professional. I would highly recommend

I've been using Eddy for the last few years and I highly recommend him.  He's worked on multiple projects big and small for me, with rental properties, selling a home and buying a new home that needed a lot of work, and I even flew him out to the east coast to work on a bathroom renovation at a vacation home.  He's very meticulous with his work and always makes sure you're happy with the results.  Very trustworthy and reasonable with his rates, much better than other handymen I have used before.

Clay's work, expertise, and responsiveness are unparalleled! He assisted me with the on-site building of custom oak floor-to-ceiling book cases as part of a complete living room re-design.  He advised on the best structure, and did some of the most precise building and assembly work I've ever seen.  The units were later stained by a carpenter, but even before they were finished, the raw install looked so beautiful it was as if it was already done.  Clay was on time, worked efficiently, and was respectful of my home.  His pricing is fair and there are no surprises.  Beyond that, he threw in for free fixing a nuisance entry door that needed to be trimmed down and a new threshold installed, and he is helping me scope out the cost for a few more renovation projects I hope to accomplish down the road.  I would unreservedly recommend Gusto Construction and Clay to anyone - you'd be lucky to have him work on your project.

Gave a call in an plumbing emergency and got a quick response on a holiday weekend.
Doug stayed and helped me through a tough spot.
Recommend!

Had a busted pipe in between my bathrooms right after Thanksgiving 2022 which was a disaster to get back home to. After water damage repairs I had a few different contractors quote for repairs. Mario was quick to respond and eager to get started even though the insurance haven't gave me funds yet. We went over the job in detail and what would need to be done along with materials. He helped pick up items that were needed from flooring stores or Lowe's without an issue and completed the job within 2 weeks time. Very happy with his work ethic and attitude so I would recommend Navas Remodeling.

Highly recommend Sigi and his crew! Super easy to work with. His pricing was very fair. I had an entire 2nd story deck rebuilt and house leveled by replacing the support beams in my carport under my master bedroom. The work was top notch. Every question was answered and the crew even made suggestions to help save some money. Special shout out to Tim and Adrian who worked their tails off to make sure everything was right. Even when there were minor issues, they were resolved immediately. I would absolutely use them again. You wont go wrong using Southwest. Thanks for everything Sigi!

We had a complicated situation.  They came in and easily solved it for an affordable price.  Looks amazing. Our patio pillars were sinking due to wood rot underneath.  They raised the roof above, replaced the wood, reinforced the floor, fixed the tile afterwards.  They made a hard job look easy.  I highly recommend them!

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.

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!

Our neighbor's bathtub above us cracked (we live in a condo) & caused major flooding in our bathroom. Although scheduling with this company was completely out of my hands, I am SO glad Rodriguez Remodeling was chosen to fix our ceiling. They were able to get me in sooner than the original scheduled date due to a last minute cancellation. They were very considerate, respectful & prompt. They even protected my carpet while transferring supplies during the repair. We've gone through quite a few companies with repairs in our unit & none of them compare to this one!!

Continuing from 12/07/17...The first time my husband and I met with Darren he was very helpful in educating us about the difference between rectified and unrectified wood plank tile.  Derren made it known he preferred to work with unrectified tile, but would still take on a job and complete quality work using rectified tile.  Derren did say he would charge 50 cents more per square foot if we chose rectified tile.  Derren provided us with vendors he uses for the tile and even suggested a tile he had previously installed.  After a couple of weeks of tile hunting we chose a Marazzi porcelain RECTIFIED tile.  I called Derren and told him we were okay with paying the extra cost for the rectified tile.  Derren assured us the Marazzi tile was a good quality tile and we would be happy with the results.  

Well, the tile comes in, Derren goes to pick up the tile, but returns to our home saying the tile is defective.  Derren believes the tile is bowed and encourages us to choose new tile.  Derren again suggests the tile he previously installed for another customer.  We told Derren we would go look for new tile if the tile we selected was defective.  I ask Derren about the return and refund on the tile and if we will have any issues.  Derren advised he would speak with the vendor and call me.  I never heard from Derren, although I left him at least one message.  I would have thought this was a priority being the flooring in our home had already been removed and the amount of money we paid for the tile.  No call.

My husband and I go see the vendor and explain to a very helpful gal we needed to find out about returning the defective tile.  The vendor tells us there will be a restocking fee of $700-750.  I questioned the fee, as Derren said the tile was defective.  The gal immediately said, it's not defective.  Long story short, the vendor had contacted the manufacturer's local representative who came out, looked at the tile and said the tile was better than specs.  The gal also said they have sold over 80,000sqft of the tile we selected and they have not had any returned!  I have a flashback to checking Derren's Registar of Contractor record (for Harper Stone and Tile) and realize this should have been my first light bulb moment and clue NOT to hire Derren!  His license had previously been expired or suspended for various reasons.  Anyway, my husband calls Derren from the vendor.  No answer.  Message left for Derren to call.

On our way home Derren calls.  He seems bewildered as to why the tile couldn't be returned without a restocking fee and offers to pay $400. Obviousy, he never attempted to call the vendor about the return or he would have already been aware of the fee or maybe he just thought we were stupid, would pay the fee and find another tile.   With that being said, we offered Derren an out and told him we would understand if he didn't want to do the job.  No hard feelings.  Well, Derren's response was that he needed the job. Or, was it he needed to pick up his saw that was still at our home? ( Light bulb moment number two)!!

The next day, Derren shows up late and meets with my husband.  My husband gives Derren a second opportunity to opt out of the job with no hard feelings and addresses our expectations of a quality installation, rectified tile or otherwise.  Derren advised he was still willing to complete the job.  (Mind you, Derren's tile saw had been set up in our garage for the past couple of days while the job was on hold).  Derren continues his work, throws float on the floor in our bedroom and does not smooth out the edges so there is an obvious lip when it drys.  Derren mentioned his grinder was broke.  Derren sits in the bedroom and purposely works vigorously on chipping the tile and then shows my husband how it chips.  Derren quietly walks outside, packs his saw and equipment.  My husband confronts Derren asking him if he was leaving.  Derren says yes.  I don't believe Derren had any intentions of completing the job.  I'm pretty sure he just wanted to get his saw back!!  Derren is told we wanted a refund for work not performed, a reasonable request. An agreement was made on the amount to be returned.  We received partial payment that night, but as previously stated in original review, we waited for the balance to be paid after Christmas because Derren said he did not have the money. (But yet, it was okay for us to have our home in shambles at Christmas time!  I wouldn't call us difficult people, would you?  Derren believes we are)!

So, this was the gist of it!  There were a couple of other shenanigans, but I was out of typing space, so had to shorten up the horrible experience!

In the end, no thanks to Derren (Harper Stone and Tile), but we did end up with beautiful floors and a quality installation!  Should anyone need an honest and reputable contractor who completes quality work, please feel free to message me!  Oh, and we saved money too!!

Their are no indication this is a legitimate business; no reviews, no webpage, and steered me to an email address right away and some excuse his phone was acting funny and to email him. When I got his response as to price, I thought, that's WAAAy to low. so I asked about his reviews, licensed, bonded, and he has no longer responded......Scam????
