Things I regret about working with RW:…read more Not researching a company that was purchased by a person with no construction experience, but who promised the best quality workmanship, reasonable cost, and clear communication. Not recognizing a huge red flag when being asked for a large advance payment outside the contracted payment schedule before the work was completed. Not paying more attention at the showroom, which should have been a giveaway--basic design, broken cabinets, sloppy paint lines, and no real sense of quality or style. Not pivoting as different subcontractors rotated through, many barely showing up, some openly complaining about their employer, and when communication, planning, and attention to detail became nearly nonexistent. Not writing a review sooner when at the end there was no final walk through, thank you, or handshake, likely because my expensive remodel still needs a qualified contractor to fix. The photos don't lie, the quality is bad, but more importantly, so was the experience.

We wanted a casita as sort of like an in-law suite for my parents, custom home gym and also a…read moreguesthouse...an all-in-one lol. We are in Paradise Valley and there are a ton of casita builders in Paradise Valley. From the start, Van the owner came out to do our quote and in the end the cost was still within the range we agreed on. I really appreciated that. I'm happy we went with actual home renovation experts instead of just saving money with a small team. (Which we did consider as some of our friends did) We had a dedicated project manager named Dakota the whole way thru which was great for any questions for help or updates along the way instead of asking van for questions or calling customer service all of the time. I put some photos of some 3d renderings they showed me that I used as inspo for our casita. They will use your exact home and layout too so there are no mistakes with measuring colors or anything. I want to mention because this was important to me: you can tell they're true professionals not just hired from Facebook... they always wore matching shirts, never reeked of cigarettes or alcohol, and never left a huge mess behind. It's the little things like that that were super important to me. Not that all do but I do know it happens and it wasn't our experience Not gonna lie... it did take a bit longer than expected. Partly cuz I changed my mind on a few things mid-way (oops) and also we had a couple storms that slowed things down. But the team handled it all really well and kept us updated so nothing ever felt like a surprise. Me and my husband knew WAY ahead of time if things were going to be held up. During the design phase we met with Kathy their designer and got some 3D renderings which helped us picture it way better. The final plan had a full kitchen, laundry, bedroom, bathroom... all finished with high-end materials and serious attention to detail. Kathy knew what was in stock and was helpful if I wasn't sure which to choose but for the most part I chose what I wanted. The casita feels like it was always meant to be part of our home. This was more than just a custom home addition... it is a piece of our home that blends right into our house which feels amazing. My parents and guests love it and we couldn't ask for anything more. This could have been so much more stressful than it was. If you're thinking about a remodel in Paradise Valley or anywhere nearby... I will always recommend Republic West Remodeling. Seriously some of the best high end remodeling experts in Paradise Valley.

It was a big project as they took it down to the studs, added space, reworked/replaced electric and plumbing, etc. In addition, about 4.5 years ago, Seth also remodeled our entire home (except the master bath/closet which we just did). They worked tirelessly and completed the job perfectly in just 3 months. We couldn't have been happier. Seth's workers are clean, neat, very friendly and respectful. Any subs he used were also very professional. We highly recommend Arizona Home Works for any remodel job - big or small!

Seth is fair, easy to work with, trustworthy, and was always focused on ensuring our satisfaction with the project. When we hit unanticipated situations during construction, Seth worked with us on coming up with the right solutions. He stuck to the original budget, even when there were issues that required additional work to correct. His two main guys, Carlos and Jesus, were really great. He has great construction expertise and we are very happy with the craftsmanship of our addition. The end result is beautiful and exactly what we wanted!

4.5 stars Great Work - Poor Timing…read more Small master bath and powder room remodel I knew what the cost was upfront. As my job was discussed and created, work items were listed and priced individually. When I added and removed items they displayed appropriately as a refund credit or additional charge immediately. The time frame proposed in the beginning was a guess-estimate I understand because one has to dig into a project to truly see what it will take. But no, my rooms were not completed in a timely manner. Schedules were pushed out, but I will state that there were a few times I was contacted and offered someone to come over to complete a trade earlier than scheduled. I made sure to have most of the needed materials already at my home so there would be no time issues when on site. (I purchased some items independently). Honestly, the time sucked. The various tradesmen were polite and knowledgeable. The men prepped my home's entryway and paths to each workroom protecting all surfaces. I had no debris left or scuffed flooring. They showed up, completed their job and left my home clean. Holtzman's web portal was easy for me to access and use. All details about my project were available to be viewed at any time. I communicated with customer service, my appointed designer, and my supervisor through emails, phone calls, in person and texts. The sales rep was very difficult to reach once my project contract was signed, but my supervisor, Will Stubblefield, supported me through every question I had throughout the whole process. His time and work was genuine and appreciated. He made sure that each phase of the project was completed to my satisfaction and when the schedule was ridiculously pushed back, he stepped in on a couple weekends and completed some work himself. Will responded to each of my questions patiently as I had many being this my first project. If I have more projects, I will request Will to manage it. He secured my confidence that Holtzman Home Improvement would complete the job and have it done well.

An absolute nightmare experience for what should have been a simple kitchen cabinet and kitchen…read moreappliance project. The Holtzman salesperson will tell you what you want to hear to get you to sign, and then (eventually) when the project starts, you'll hear something different from the project manager. When our project started, one of the first things we heard from the project manager was "I'm sorry, but he (the salesperson) shouldn't have told you that." Communication from the company was very poor. The project manager did not reach out with any proactive updates, instead I had to call / text regularly to find out what was happening and when. The usual response to my questions was "I don't know, I'll have to get back to you." They have an online schedule portal, but it was not updated by the project managers (we had 4 different project managers throughout the project), so the portal was practically useless. There were many delays and missed dates from Holtzman, there were surprise up-charges and items they forgot to order (causing more delays), but the real difficult part was the lack of communication. Not knowing what's going on is really unsettling when you've trusted someone with this type of project. The kitchen came out looking great. The people that come to the house to do the work are nice and friendly, and generally do good work. But the communication and lack of accountability from the company is embarrassing. If my name were on this company, I would take more pride in the work and try to improve how they treat customers. I would strongly advise anyone to go with another company and save yourself months of delays and many headaches from dealing with Holtzman.

The quality of the work was excellent, completed on schedule and stayed within budget. James is an excellent communicator and his attention to detail was exactly what we needed to make our home market ready.

To make matters worse, after we posted an honest review about our experience, Matt -- the owner --…read moreresponded by threatening to sue us and blaming the poor workmanship on supposed "structural instability" in our home. This claim was never mentioned at any point during the project. In fact, Matt never once came on-site to assess our home, quote the job, or oversee the work. The idea that our home had structural issues was only brought up after we expressed how unhappy we were with the final result and repeated failed repairs. Instead of taking accountability, they chose to intimidate us -- a young family with babies -- simply for speaking out about our experience. That behavior is beyond unprofessional and incredibly unsettling. No one should feel threatened by a contractor they've let into their home, especially during a vulnerable time (I was in my third trimester of pregnancy and then home with a newborn during all of this). This company does not stand by their work, they do not communicate honestly, and they clearly do not care about their customers. Avoid Matt Stanczak's company at all costs.

Our first contact was with Bret and Skyler when they came to our house and took measurements. We then visited their showroom and they had several good ideas for our bathroom remodel. We signed the contract and work started a short time later. Their foreman, Kurt, was nothing short of amazing. He sent us a preliminary work schedule at the beginning of the project and he also sent an email or a text daily outlining who was coming the next day, what they were going to accomplish and what project was next. Throughout the project Kurt was very fast responding to texts or emailed questions. As for the work, it went very smoothly and right on schedule. The demo guys were on time, mindful of any dust and hauled everything off at the end of their day. The plumber was friendly, very professional and had a few helpful suggestions that we didn't think about in our initial plan. He works a lot with Rise Above and you can tell they have a great working relationship. Next came the tile installation.
