Best Kitchen Renovation in Phoenix AZ

The scope of the project was to remove a Jacuzzi tub and shower, then install a walk in shower. The duration of the job was to be 4 weeks. From the get go the attention to detail was excellent. Extra care was taken to protect the rest of the house from dust and debris. Each of the workers involved in the job were respectful, attentive to our needs, and very nice people. The tile work on the floors and in the shower was performed by an artisan. Throughout the entire process my input was requested which I appreciated so much. We are so thrilled with the outcome and will consider using this company for some future kitchen work. The project finished on budget and ahead of schedule. What more could I ask.

Our new counters and cabinets are gorgeous! They came up with an awesome layout that fit our needs and delivered on every promise. If you are doing a kitchen remodel I highly recommend you give Mark a call.

If you only have a minute to read this, the main message is that we are thrilled with our new kitchen and the service we received from everyone on the Premier team, from Bruce, our designer, and Kent, our construction manager, to every single worker who made a contribution. More detail, if you’re interested:

The kitchen in our new (to us) manufactured home was dated and not our style; in addition, there was a pointless desk in an area that clearly needed to be a walk-in pantry. We wanted to replace everything except the flooring. We went to the big-box store first – since we knew absolutely nothing about tackling this sort of project – and realized that would mean managing all the different aspects of this ourselves, which we were completely disinterested in doing. Then we went to another kitchen-design company that wanted badly to sell us cabinets but nothing else. Finally, we wandered into Premier and met Bruce.

The thing about Bruce was that he listened, gave advice, debated, and listened some more. We really appreciated his expertise and ideas, even when – a couple of times – we decided to go a different route. He guided us through appliance selection, which I thought was above and beyond the call of duty. Turned out, he was so, so, SO right about the paint color, the cabinets, the lighting, and the countertops. I was right about the sink and the backsplash. Oh, and we were both right about the pantry.

I won’t kid you – living through a major remodel was not a picnic. Or rather, it was a never-ending picnic for most of a month, complete with paper plates, plastic forks, and no place to do dishes. They warned us, and they were right. But Kent managed the project to a T, finishing on schedule to the day. Every single workman was polite, skilled, and professional. They solved the problem of what to do about no floor tile under the old base cabinets, invented a way to give the microwave a custom enclosure, and crafted crown molding to fit our sloped ceiling perfectly. Kent was in and out, checking regularly. The whole job actually included more than the kitchen, as we also had part of a wall removed and the living/dining room repainted.

Our job was completed just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit (thank heaven!), so we are still waiting for a few minor punch-items to be addressed. No one’s fault and I know Kent won’t forget about us. When the situation allows, they’ll get done.

In the meantime, even with those couple of items outstanding, we have a beautiful pale turquoise kitchen with beautiful quartz countertops and a killer backsplash. As Bruce promised, the stainless-steel appliances – French-door fridge with flex drawer, beverage fridge, top-of-the-line dishwasher, and a range with a double oven – bring the bling. My 6-shelf walk-in pantry is about 25 square feet and even with everything put away and too many cans of soup and boxes of pasta, I have unused shelf space. AND a couple shelves in my cabinets are still empty, too. Bruce told me I’d have a ton of storage!

I recently got to work with Emily on my living room, dining, and kitchen! She was super sweet and down to earth while being professional. My rooms were a challenge but she pulled a design together that made everything work and look great!!! What I liked the most was she really listened to me and what I wanted

Awesome company to work with!

The Ledezmas did a great job installing our travertine tile with amazing 1/
16th inch grout lines and very little lippage. They are very hard workers and got the job done quickly with great workmanship. They are a family working together, not just some random employees. We are very pleased!

very smart pull outs, super easy to install and great quality

Poor quality, refuses to refund. Work was done incorrectly from the beginning, confirmed by multiple professionals including the company themselves after seeing what their workers had done. Hire at your own risk. A year later and now I’m living without flooring.

Ernesto is a smooth talker and doesn't listen to a word you say. He does not listen to what the client actually wants. Besides not listening to anything my wife and I said, after a month all he had to show for his work were some silly doodling on paper. He charged a 5K retainer, and did absolutely NOTHING. After we made suggestions, he would shoot them down and then later bring them up as his own ideas. He kept telling us that a beam needed to be installed, and later my contractor looked at the columns and said they were fine to remove (just to prove he has no idea what he is talking about). After a month of having NOTHING to even prove he has been working, he now wants to charge us even more money for doing nothing. In a month...no estimates, no work has been done. All he wants to do is milk as much money out of you as possible. I regret ever hiring him, because he is totally unprofessional and also refuses to give us our house keys back. I will most likely end up taking him to court to recover my money he wasted

We initially contacted McCurdy Construction for an estimate mid February based off of the good Yelp reviews. Estimator Ryan Grannis came out on 2/25/21 and provided us with some ballpark numbers. He asked if his high end of the estimate scared us ($250k) and we said yes, but that we would still like to move forward with a detailed estimate. He said he would have this to us in a week and a half to two weeks tops, and joked that he prefers to work on the bids for jobs that he likes first. I'm not sure where we fell on his preference scale, but future customers beware that if your job does not excite him enough (i.e. size of budget), you will likely get jumped in line. Apparently our $150k didn't quite do it for him.

Two weeks after his initial visit I called him (3/11) to see where he was at with the estimate. He said he would have it to us the next day, and if not, he would come in on that Saturday to make sure we got it. We didn't get it that Saturday and this was the last time I was ever able to get a hold of him.

I called and left him a message the following Thursday (3/18), now three weeks after the initial in-home consultation, but no response. I then called the office and the receptionist said she would email him right away to get his butt in gear.

Now four weeks later and we have still not heard a single word from McCurdy Construction or Ryan Grannis. It is disappointing that this is the most forward facing person for the company and he cannot even return a phone call. We knew this lack of communication from the initial contact representing the company was a red flag of things to come, and we wisely found a much more communicative and professional contractor. We are happy that we avoided this potential nightmare.

No job too big, no job too small. Jeremy is reliable and always willing help with any project I have had. From building a studio to daily upkeep such as hanging photos. He is always a good help!

Ed and Greg @ “The Remodeling Firm”, are awesome. Every time I go there, they are full of knowledge, conversation and great ideas. I really appreciate them.
I WOULD RECOMMEND

Very shady general contractor. Ghosted me, left my rehab before completing the project and stole money. Do not use this guy. Save yourself the headache and money!

I did not end up choosing this company, but I would recommend getting multiple quotes and do some research. Remod AZ had a very nice presentation and appears to be selling very nice high quality windows however I was frustrated with their high pressure sales tactics. For example they originally quoted me $27,000 but were willing to take it down to $20,000 if I could commit that day. It felt like a good deal but I’m glad I didn’t because after a little research on google I found that the product they were charging me over $1,000 per window for should really be less than $500 per window including installation. Any time a company try’s to make you commit without giving you time to do your own research is a red flag for me.
