We used Kirk for a kitchen remodel about a year ago. They are high cost for low quality work. They took three times as long to complete the kitchen (almost a year and with no materials delays mind you) causing us to bring home our newborn child to a house with no functioning kitchen. They didn't complete the work to plan, misplacing the island and throwing off the entire layout. When we made complaints, they spoke a good game about taking responsibility but didn't take any corrective actions. Less than a year later from the reno and the cabinet draws they installed are falling apart, the plumbing they did beneath the sink fell apart causing water damage to the island. We highly recommend avoiding Kirk construction at all costs. read more

This was my second time using Kirk Development. My second job was a lot bigger than my first job. Had my kitchen remodeled worked with Tom Sertich and Bob Buchanan. They listened to what I wanted in my new kitchen. When we went over everything the price was right. The job was started on time and finished on time. The front office was always friendly. Now that the job is finished I love to show friends and family my new kitchen. They love the new kitchen get compliments all the time. Was the best thing I ever did was to contact Kirk Development they are amazing to work with. read more

We were in the market to hire a contractor for a large addition to our home. I called Kirk Dev Co. and spoke with Nate. He asked for the files to be sent for review, which I did. A few days later I was contacted and told Kirk couldn't bid because our documents would violate the city zoning standard and would be rejected when they were submitted for a permit. Unknown to Nate, I already had the permit. Nate gave me the reason why and I double checked and we were withing the city guidelines. The Kirk folks didn't even know what the city retirements were nor did they double check. We, ultimately, did receive a quote which was tens of thousands of dollars above the next highest. We didn't select Kirk. I'd hate to think of what would have happened if this level (or lack there of) attention to detail would have yielded if Kirk had been selected to perform our remodel. On a side note I can't believe Rosie on the House still lists Kirk as a preferred partner. Makes me wonder. read more

We recently had a room addition done by Kirk Development and we want to say they did a fabulous job. Everyone we came into contact with was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and great to work with. They worked around our schedules and animals and James Ameche did a great job of texting us to let us know he was on his way which I appreciated as we have cats we had to make sure were safe. Yes the room took longer than expected but that's to be expected in the Covid era. I would definitely recommend them for any remodeled project. read more

We typically take on our own home improvement projects but when it came to our kitchen we needed help. The team from Kirk Development Company was exceptional. From my first phone call through the last item on the punchlist everyone we dealt with was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to our happiness with the project and outcome. The design/build process worked really well and I'm sure this approach contributed to the project being on-time and on-budget. I was also very impressed with Kirk's willingness to let us do some of the labor and the parts of the projects that we could do ourselves. I highly recommend Kirk to anyone who is considering a remodeling project. Their attention to detail, army of talented sub-contractors and communications throughout the entire project were greatly appreciated and we are extremely happy with the end result. read more

Called a few remodelers/developers and no one took the time to talk to me except for Gary at Kirk. He was very patient with all my questions and also very knowledgeable and helpful. He got back to me right away with answers to my questions. I would not hesitate to use Kirk again. They are also Rosie on the House Certified. Thank you Gary! read more

Updated August, 2015: Changed my review from 3 to 4 stars because the air conditioning wasn't cooling our addition to the temp of the rest of the house. I wrote to Kirk Dev and they were on it! They immediately called the HVAC vendor and that vendor came over in the heat, got into the attic, and did some "magic" so that the room is now cool. They were completely pleasant about the whole situation and took our concern seriously. Very happy. There's no option for 3.5, but that's what I'd give to Kirk Development. We just completed our project with Kirk Development -- a master bedroom addition (no bathroom). We ended up getting a 20x18 room added to one end of our house and paid about $50,000. At first the cost seemed high but honestly it was a big job and a LOT more work than I would have ever imagined. Kirk Development does not cut corners. They do everything to code and won't start without the proper inspections, etc. First, the positives: the quality and craftsmanship was pretty outstanding. The contractors they hire and the Kirk employees themselves really know what they're doing. No problems with shoddy craftsmanship. I'd give that part five stars. Also, the staff and the contractors were extremely respectful of my family, our pets and of being as non-intrusive as possible. My main issue was with commitments and timeframes. I was told the project would take 10 weeks from start to finish. It ended up taking 17 weeks. I don't like dashed expectations; I would have rather them just tell me up front that it would take 4 months. If they were working non-stop on it, then it wouldn't have been an issue, but days and days would go by where nobody would come to the house to work. Better communication would have gone a LONG way to resolve some of the frustration around not knowing when they were coming and what was next. Towards the end, I finally ended up becoming a squeaky wheel and when confronted with why it was taking so long to finish, I was told that they were overloaded with work. A great problem for them, but again, someone in leadership needed to step up and become better at communicating/reassuring existing clients. Most frustrating was towards the end of the project, when you're SO CLOSE but it's not move-in ready, and because it's only small things that need to get done, you end up falling off their radar and dropping lower on the priority list. The end felt like an eternity. This aspect of the project I'd give 2 stars. Our project manager, Larry, was super nice and did his best to keep us abreast of the project, but you could tell that he was getting pulled in many different directions and would leave the job site sometimes within an hour of getting there cause he was told to go take care of some other priority. They need to hire more laborers for sure. Another issue was with the design of the room. My husband and I know nothing about this stuff, so we were at their mercy for design considerations. It took seeing the finished product for me to realize some things were off -- mainly placement of doors and closets. Due to the way everything worked out, we were left with very little wall space and had one heck of a time doing space planning and fitting our furniture in. Every wall was essentially a window, closet or door. In hindsight, I should have really sat down with the design and mentally plugged in all our furniture while there was still time to make adjustments. On the design aspect, I'd give them 3 stars. In their defense, there were some limitations such as how close to the street the room could go, door had to line up with a bathroom, etc. Still, I think they could have done better on this. One thing that did impress me about Kirk was at one point, they contracted out the roof and the roofer put on the wrong color tiles. They were a close match, but not exact, and I noticed it right off the bat. I kept insisting the color was off and the roofer would insist it was an exact match. I finally ended up calling Tom S. who's the owner and said, "I can live with that roof but I'm just wondering why they ordered a different color without consulting with me." He was so reassuring. His customer service skills were ON-POINT. He said he'd get to the bottom of it and boy he did. They sent someone over to get an old shingle from us, took it down to the roofer, and compared numbers/brands. When it turned out to not be a match, he ordered the roofer to rip it off and start again and told me "we never want our customers to say they 'can live with it.'". So, A+ on the handling of escalations. All in all, I would recommend Kirk Development if you want a high quality level of workmanship. Just spend some time with your design before you commit, and be prepared to have it take longer than you'd ever imagine. If you go into it with the expectation that they're working several jobs simultaneously, and that you may see them one or two times per week for partial days, then you won't be surprised. read more

We are a not-for-profit retirement community and have hired Kirk Development to remodel many of our apartments, ranging in square footage from 650 - 1,500. They are wonderfully reliable, responsive and demonstrate a high commitment to quality. Best decision ever. read more

Kirk Development did a fantastic job on my kitchen and bath remodel. As a 30 resident of north central phx, their reputation is stellar ! Great design ideas, creative ways to save $, neat and clean, They always did what they said they were going to do. Completed the job on time and on budget. Their awards speak for themselves.

This contractor has done several projects for me. They are extremely professional and I would definitely recommend them for any sort of remodeling. They put on a new garage extension to turn our two car garage into a 3 car --- they blended it perfectly with the existing house, so you can't even tell that it was ever a two car garage! They have also done smaller handyman type jobs like installing some grab bars in bathrooms for us. They always listen to what you want and have great suggestions --- things I never would have thought of. After we had possible hail damage to our roof, Kirk Development recommended a great roofer to us as well. They are a valuable resource for my family. Several of my neighbors have also had projects done by Kirk. read more

Having known Julie & Tom Sertich for many many years, when a good friend asked for a referral to a remodel company, I recommended they talk with Kirk Development. They were adding a sizable (about 1300 sq') addition to their central Phoenix home. They included Kirk in their bid process and were very favorably impressed with their professionalism and price. They used Kirk Dev. and were very pleased with all aspects of the job they did; and, they are now thoroughly enjoying their "mother-in-law" addition. Highly recommended, Dick S. read more

Kirk is a total flake. He came out twice and gave us an estimate for a 50k remodel job. (his loss, we ended up spending 65k) At first he seemed like a professional but later turned out to be completely unreliable. Kirk refused to return calls or follow up on anything. I'm very disappointed with his work ethic and would NEVER recommend him to anyone. Thank goddess we never signed a single document, so the dumpster that he dropped off and we filled up was complimentary, thanks for picking up the tab and setting us back 3 weeks. Be sure to check out BBB before you hire this guy for ANY job. TOTAL FLAKE, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED! read more

I interviewed about 5 contractors and went with Kirk Development largely because of Berry. He is a nice guy and knows how to think through a project; but most of all we went with them because they are professional. Berry always calls back, shows up on time, and does what he says he is going to do. The Kirk Development team were fantastic, We had them design and develop a master plan for remodeling our house and for our backyard landscape. I really liked what they came up with. They built a patio and completely revamped the back yard, including lighting. Overall we were really happy with their service. But you should know up front that they are not cheap. You pay for the professionalism., but you know the project will get done on time and it will be done right. read more

We sent our requests for interest to about 6-7 contractors and studied their proposals. After reviewing them we invited three companies to meet with us for an interview. The company that stood out from the others was Kirk Development. They had by far the most professional approach which made us feel more secure and comfortable with them. Little things like completely listing all work items and assigning costs for those work items gave us a good idea of where the money was being spent and what items we could do away with or modify. Kirk Development took great care to list any change orders (things we either added to the contract or deleted) with the price so we could decide if we wanted it. With their precise bookkeeping we felt very comfortable in keeping track of all the costs. Never once did we have a disagreement because everything was in writing. Once we signed the contract we were assigned Devin to work with us to help pick out plumbing fixtures, lighting, windows, decorations and colors. We can't say enough about Devin and how much she helped us throughout the remodel construction. On many occasions she would meet with us at lighting stores to help pick out appropriate lighting, plumbing outlets to recommend various fixtures and tile stores for flooring and kitchen backsplashes. I can't tell you how much help this was to us and how nice the end product turned out! Thanks Devin! The construction process was performed very professionally. Living in a guard gated community the homeowners association was very strict about construction protocols. Kirk stored all construction materials in the house/garage, cleaned up every night and adhered to strict parking requirements which made the association happy. Their sub-contractors did a very good job and their workers were folks we didn't have to worry about. The quality of work was excellent as we couldn't find anything that required attention during our final walk through. Obviously, we are very pleased with Kirk Development and would recommend them to anyone getting ready to remodel their house. read more

Kirk Development company is unethical. They are completely unprofessional. The subcontractors that they selected, when they installed the pedestal sink on our bathroom remodel neglected to secure the sink to the wall with lag screw, a think line of some type of putty was noted when the sink had to be removed for a major plumbing project subsequent to the remodel. The subcontractor who laid the tile, which was expensive custom tile purchased specifically by us for this installation did s substandard job, the subfloor was not even and the grout work was atrocious. The subcontracts also did not respect the adjacent areas of the house, and dumped plaster into the rose bed in the front of the house. The toilet was not seated properly, because they did not level the floor. What a mistake, please do not make this one when you remodel. The general contractor did not inspect the work of the subcontractors. Kirk development is a shoddy business. read more

I am writing this to thank all of Kirk Development for the outstanding and professional people who put our remodel project together. They added a 400 square foot room to our home which had originally been out outdoor patio. It is stunning. Gary Tomich was our first contact with Kirk and put together an excellent design, architectural drawings, and bid. Tom Rohrer the superintendant was truly outstandng. He made it happen, stayed on the time line, and brought in outstanding subs who were as much gentlemen and masters of their craft as was Tom. With each city inspection done, Tom was there to support and explain the project. If we ever have another major project, it MUST be with Tom in the lead. The entire staff were all helpful and supportive including Devin, the office manager, and Tom Sertich the President. . In addition to framing out the new room, installing new Anderson windows and custom sliding doors, they also removed all windows and arcadia doors that had originally been the exterior doors and finished off the new openings as archways to bring the entire room into the house. New sprinkler system, lighting, and A/C ducts and registers were also added. Wish we could submit a picture! read more
