Best Home Designers in Phoenix AZ

Todd Hoyt and Shane Caballero did a fantastic job converting my sunken tub into a walk in shower. They were very professional and I was very comfortable having them in my house. Todd made sure to check with me before he installed some items that involved a choice of installation point to ensure that I would be happy with the end result. He was very skilled and an expert in construction and communication.
Brad did a great job coordinating the project for me.

Just finished my consultation with Auros Home Remodel and I couldn't be more pleased. They were very professional and answered all my questions. They provided me with a beautiful kitchen remodel design and I would definitely recommend working with Auros Home Remodel.

A friend recommended the Luxury Remodels Company to us, and we contacted them to remodel our restaurant. Impressed with their services, we will not hesitate to hire them again in the future.

Watch out for this company during rush hour traffic. Whoever drives the black Chevy/GMC crew cab towing the Holtzman trailer will bully his way over from the slow lane to the HOV lane almost hitting other vehicles with the trailer.

We are in the process of remediating a complete remodel that had gone wrong with another builder. We tapped 4 GEN for the remediation and we cannot speak highly enough about 4 GEN Homes and David.

Background: we were new to Arizona and the previous builder we had hired to remodel our recently purchased home — after 16 months of ongoing workmanship problems and error — left us with a complete disaster and abandoned the project: having falsified their licensing, falsified their insurance, having not pulled a valid or legitimate permit, or having proper inspections done, and hiring many to perform work who were not licensed or properly skilled. You can imagine how difficult it would be to discover this after the fact, and what a complete mess and stress this would create in so many different ways. Any whole house remodel is, by itself, a daunting process in which you feel lost and need the guidance of an expert contractor. Given the difficult situation we were left with we needed someone to come in and not only do a whole house remodel (complex as that is), but, adding to that complexity, to remediate a remodel that had gone very wrong. Not many would be able or willing to take this on.

We are so thankful that we found 4 GEN Homes / David Mikes, and that he was willing to take on this huge problem for us. He is an amazing contractor — he listens, he is calm, always pleasant, very careful, intelligent, insightful, and experienced; and he speaks, consults, and guides us with the authority of confident construction expertise and extensive home building experience, and yet without ever presuming upon us. He is reassuring in how he counsels. He also has a cadre of vetted professional subcontractors he’s used many times and knows they can perform the work to an acceptable level — he’s not trying to find just any subs as he goes along. He takes the chaos of the situation and calmly organizes it and makes it seem manageable and clear, and he always wants to come to the right result and covers nothing up that needs to be done right. He is your advocate, not primarily an advocate for the subs or workers. He usually answers calls or quickly returns calls or messages and is always ready to help and address any concern — and he is usually way ahead of you in identifying any issue. If you bring it up, it’s likely he’s already on it. His eye for due care and detail is likely better than yours.

Another reviewer said David treats you like family. I would wholly concur with that.

I would highly recommend 4 GEN Homes to anyone and everyone.

We love our new shower! These ladies are professional, prompt, friendly, and have a great eye for design! Thank you!

Job done in 3 days, and done right.

I decided to do a major remodel of my home. It was overwhelming until I got much needed help from The Remodel Store and More. It was truly More as I not only was provided with the materials I needed but also with recommendations as far as flooring, cabinets, and color schemes.
Everything came out looking great!

We used Republic West Landscapes for our tree trimming needs, we have a very big and come to find out, very dangerous eucalyptus tree that needed to be trimmed. Jake and his team did everything that they said they would and on schedule. We are very happy that we used Republic West Landscapes!

Review provided for Cindy Bayne regarding her remodel. “Project Manager Ben and his crew did an excellent job on my kitchen remodel. Prior to the remodel, I had almost no counter or cabinet space. After the remodel, I have both! Ben was an excellent communicator and on site daily. Ben’s team was very professional and neat. The quality of their work was fantastic. The kitchen looks amazing.”

To be fair, the team at Design Lab did get our vision for the kitchen and bath remodel we planned, and their designs did, eventually, work out. HOWEVER, we’d suggest, should you opt for their services, to be very clear about what services they plan to provide and to be certain that they are doing what they promised correctly. In our experience:

1. Design Lab represented themselves as the lead team for our remodel. Without telling us, after we hired the contractor they introduced us to, they signed a contract with the contractor and Design Lab became a subcontractor. This created confusion for all parties throughout the project.
2. We kept the same footprint in the kitchen. Despite this, Design Lab did not measure the existing cabinets correctly. The cabinets they ordered for one wall would not have fit. Fortunately, the contractor identified that issue, but it led to a 2-week delay.
3. There was a gap from design to construction, which was our choice. By the time the project started, the kitchen cabinets we had selected were no longer available. Rather than telling us, Design Lab simply ordered different cabinets they thought we’d like. We didn’t like their choice. This led to a 4+-month delay, during which we had no kitchen.
4. Design Lab often did not order sufficient quantities of materials (like tile, cabinet filler, crown molding, kitchen cabinet knobs). In the deal they made with the contractor, Design Lab apparently maintained control over ordering materials and supplies. This added time and frustration, because projects could not be completed in one visit from the trades brought in by the contractor. All these issues led to completely using the contingency piece of the project budget, even though there was only 1 change order ever made.
5. Design Lab incorrectly ordered the backsplash tile, when they made up for the shortage of the first order. We had 2 different style tiles waiting to be installed, but fortunately this was spotted by the contractor before the tile was to be installed. Design Lab also ordered kitchen knobs that were different from what was in the specs.

All of this made a project the contractor estimated would take 6 weeks ultimately take 8 months!

Jeff Chaignot took very good care of us. Our kitchen turned out amazing! We had cabinets and granite installed. I did the backsplash, under cabinet lighting and the ship lap boards on the other side of island myself. The cabinet installer and the granite installation crew were absolutely top notch. Everything done in two days, as scheduled, except for the work I performed.

I'm trying to get a quote. But got hung up on. Not a good experience.
