It disappoints me I have to write this review. I wanted to hire this group because I'm remodeling the house that my dad (Vietnam vet) left to me. I know it would make him proud to have vets work on our house. I also saw the positive reviews and posted response times which made me even more excited. Unfortunately, I have submitted their online form to get a quote (a week ago) AND I have called and left a voicemail (Saturday) but noone has contacted me. read more

I contacted this company after reading all the rave reviews and left a message last Wednesday and expecting a call back the next day To date still no call back! Sorry we moved on with another contractor. Disappointed! Unfortunately I had to select a star but I would have preferred not to! read more

I hired Bob and his team to install an aerial rig point in my house. I am an aerialist, and I wanted to be able to practice my art at home. When I first started looking around for a contractor to do the job, I quickly realized that most contractors would raise an eyebrow and tell me they didn't even know what I was talking about, let alone how to get it done. Bob was not like the others! Rather than shying away from the challenge of the unfamiliar, he met with me in person and we thoroughly went over my needs. He asked the hard questions, and made it clear that his upmost concern was my safety. He put a lot of thought into the mechanics of my rig point (which for safety needs to be able to support 2,500 lbs dead weight!), and devised a very safe and sturdy apparatus. I am very happy with Bob's work and with my new rig point! Also, bob and his team were incredibly nice, friendly, and clean. They swept up after themselves before they left, and bob checked in with me the next day to make sure my apparatus was working well. With Bob's permission, I am definitely going to refer my aerialist friends to him! He understands the safety needs of an aerialist, and does a fantastic job. I am so grateful to have found a contractor who not only wasn't afraid of a "different" type of project, but who dove in and completed the project to the highest of standards. I highly recommend using Bob for any of your contracting needs!! read more

We needed the wall above our shower tiled because the plaster walls were chipping and molding. We also needed the outside block wall of our house repaired after some plumbing demolition. I got two estimates, and VetsBuilt was a little lower. We had to schedule the work a couple weeks out because they were so busy, but they did the work in one day and it is beautiful. They did exactly what I asked for and it turned out better than I expected it to, honestly. Also, the crew doing the work was really pleasant, friendly and professional. I didn't like that I had to go buy the tile and grout myself for the job, but it may have been cheaper than having the contractor do the shopping for me. Overall, I'm very happy with the work they did and recommend them! read more

Needed a quote for a laundry room remodel, not sure if this was too small of a project for them, but after 3 messages left and no return call assume so. As a veteran this does not bode well for me or this company! On to a company that will acknowledge my attempt for them to make money! read more

Same experience as Mr. X. Left a message two days ago and never received a return call. No BS here. Must not need the business. I'm moving on to the next contractor. read more

Had a visit from DJ on March 4th to discuss the various projects in our home. Nice guy. Seemed interested in the work. But I'm scratching my head as to why 20 days and one follow up phone call from me to him later I've still not received his estimate. DJ, if you don't want our project please just say so. Or at least reach out to me that you're behind and when you'll get it to me. No communication from you is not cool. Reply to Bob Jenkins: I did not initially contact DJ through Yelp. I called directly and set an appointment by phone. DJ came to my home on March 4th. Today is March 25th and still no estimate from DJ. I reached out to him last week and he didn't even seem to remember me. In 21 days he has not called, texted or emailed me. Which IMO is too long. I will not be emailing DJ as you requested. If he is this unresponsive over a quote I'd hate to see how things would go in the middle of my project. I'm moving on. read more

I started working with DJ and Bob over a year ago. They helped get my leaking patio roof fixed on short notice and at a great price and helped connect me with a great landscape designer. They are friendly, thorough and really take the time to explain and work through details and costs with you. I can assure you that whatever your standards are, they work to understand and own those standards on your behalf and more. More importantly, they really work diligently to find people they can depend on to do the work up to their standards and at extremely reasonable prices. This year we decided to add a fireplace to our home. It took my wife and I a long time to decide what we wanted and DJ and Bob were extremely patient working with us throughout that process. You'll see it turned into more than a fireplace (flooring, carpet, a beautifully handcrafted mantel, stone work). They follow up constantly and inspect every step of the work being done. I'll let the pictures do the talking, but cannot say enough about how good they are to work with on any project large or small. read more

I'd obtained quotes from several companies and was just having issues with communicating what I really wanted/needed to be done. I had a leaking patio roof and a broken, ugly patio concrete slab and I wanted both fixed or replaced. VETSBuilt was the last quote I obtained and once I met Bob, I knew I wanted him to oversee the work done on my home. Not only do I support the mission of VETSBuilt, but their work is solid. Bob is an excellent communicator via email, text and phone, and an all-around personable guy to work with. Their work is amazing, I highly recommend them, and I will use them again. read more

DJ was a rockstar! Recently remodeled my grandfathers house and made the best decision hiring VetsBuilt! Great communication! He was always upfront with any changes that needed to be made! Clean, courteous, and very professional! read more

Our experience with VETSBuilt was nothing short of excellent. Bob, our contractor, stayed right on top of things and was responsive to our concerns as well as keeping us informed as to issues, and schedules. We are experienced remodelers ourselves so appreciated the level of skill demonstrated by the crews and the attention to detail. The lead carpenter, Craig, was nothing short of amazing. This was, unfortunately, not a typically remodel. We started with fixing the floor that was an inch higher than the rest of the house, along with enlarging a window, ripping out a closet and adding cabinets. When we started with the floor the persons who had remodeled the room before caused us to have to remove everything they had previously done and start all over again. We wanted it done correctly. But even though we started from scratch Bob, kept the job running smoothly. The subcontractors he hired were amazing. We had to pour a new cement floor. The cement masons were excellent. Roger the tile guy, did everything we asked him to do. The cabinet maker was very concern about what we wanted, again the cabinets are beautiful. The room we call an office/craft room is everything we wanted. They did an excellent job. We will hire them again if we ever need help again. read more

I called Vetsbuilt on the recommendation of my neighbors who just had their roof repaired by them. My neighbors couldn't say enough about their professionalism and quality of workmanship. I contacted them to give me a quote on removing two old vanities, sinks and mirrors and installing the new vanities. DJ and Bob responded immediately and we set a date. They encountered some unexpected plumbing issues due to the age of the fixtures but were (cheerfully) able to fix everything! My vanities look beautiful! Great pricing - great work-great guys!!! I will be calling them again! read more

My girlfriend and I used VETSBuilt to renovate our house after refinancing our house. We were so excited for the house to have a makeover and truly be turned into a home for our family. My girlfriend is a retired combat medic for the army so we were even more excited to use a veteran run company. I would like to warn those of you looking to use this company against it. Our house is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but there were so many mistakes, short cuts, and then there is the fact that there is no warranty on the work. -Before beginning the renovation I has asked Bob if I should patch the holes in the house and remove all of the nails/tacks/staples/etc. He had told me not to worry and that the painters would take care of it. The painters failed to remove those items and I know have the pleasure of continuing to remove them and repaint where they were. The holes were patched in a rushed manner. When the sun hits the patches just right, you can see where the left over spackle was smeared over the walls and the hole. Then there is the clean up for the painters. They left paint over numerous light fixtures, baseboards, the new floor, and the ceiling. -We originally wanted to get cabinets from Home Depot and had picked out the design and received a quote. Bob told us that his "cabinet guy" was "the best." This was not true. The cabinet guy, his name is Jaime, was far from the best. After having sat down with both Bob and Jaime to design the cabinets, as Bob told us the ones we wanted from Home Depot were no good, the cabinets were designed ENTIRELY wrong. The design was similar to the old cabinetry that we were tossing. We informed Bob, who had told us he remembered the design we chose and agreed the ones built were not what we were paying for. The cabinets were never replaced and we received $500 off for something we didn't want. There were further issues with the cabinets when Bob failed to communicate with his guy that we were no longer able to afford a new vanity for our master bathroom. We had told him we didn't want the vanity but Bob had arranged a deal with Jaime that we could keep this vanity for free...another way to make up for the entire kitchen being done wrong. The vanity was also designed wrong, the drawers require so much force to be opened that most of the time you end up whacking yourself in the leg or crotch. I told Bob this too, and despite him also having difficulties opening the drawers and him watching me attempt to open the drawer and having it hit me in the crotch, he said it would be okay over time. To this very day, I still hit myself. The hinges used by the cabinet guy were put on in a rushed manner, Bob claimed that clients make his guy nervous (we were never in the house when he was here) and one of the cabinet doors is beginning to fall off the hinge. Bob did make an attempt to have Jaime fix the spice rack and the missing stain on the island cabinetry. However, when Jaime arrived he had stated Bob never told him about needing to bring stain to finish the island, I texted Bob right there on the spot and he told me that Jaime doesn't understand English very well so he must not have known what he was talking about. -The floor we had put in began to pop up after Bob's crew left. Bob had the floor installed by someone now well versed in the type of floor we were putting in, the subfloor was uneven and despite putting down the moisture barrier pad, it didn't help - there are spots that sag and where the boards pop. The company we wanted to use would have leveled the sub floor and saved us the hassle of continuously bouncing as we walk through the house. Bob did the measurements for the house to determine how much of the flooring we needed to purchase. He measured wrong every time. I believe we had to make 2 extra trips to the store to get more flooring...which wasn't in the budget. This just seems like a rookie mistake for a contractor. And it was costly. -We had the master bathroom renovated. The crew Bob used for this portion was very nice. Other than cleaning their equipment down the shower drain and toilet, their tile work looks and is amazing. No flaws! The shower that Bob had done for us is beautiful, but leaks. The joints where the glass meet have not been sealed properly and water spills out onto the floor in a large puddle. Like I said, we had huge hopes for our experience and partnership with this company. And it fell short. All of the issues listed above were addressed with Bob directly. Unfortunately, while he talks to you about wanting things to be perfect, and how he understands wanting things done right because you're paying for it - its a lie. When we attempted to address these issues, Bob told me I informed that they were small things that were "knit-picky" and that this read more

Yes ---- a true 5 STAR rating !!!!! Our project was to build an 850 square foot guest suite --- not a small job. After attempting to work with 3 other contractors, we were frustrated and disappointed with their lack of integrity and follow up. THEN --- we found VetsBuilt Contracting and the owners - DJ and Bob Jenkins. They are fair, honest, dependable and want to do what the client wants --- and they pulled out all of the stops to make sure we were ..... and are happy with the results. We couldn't be happier. It was a big job --- with a lot of detail and they performed as promised. If you want to work with people you can trust to have your best interest at heart- give them a call. They are for real. read more

We used VetsBuilt Contracting to renovate our master bathroom. DJ was great to work with from start to finish. We had ideas in mind of the design we wanted and DJ did a great job of providing additional alternatives and suggestions. The crew did a wonderful job of getting the job done timely while being considerate of our home. There were a couple of minor things we noticed through the process that needed to be fixed and DJ quickly addressed our concerns with his crew and got every item on our list corrected quickly. When the bathroom was finally completed we were ecstatic about the finished product and the quality of the work that was done. DJ even gave us a thank you card and a thank you gift at the end of the project. Top notch service and quality work. I would highly recommend VetsBuilt for your construction/renovation needs. read more

My wife and I choose vetsbuilt after getting several bids for our kitchen. They not only gave us a very competitive bid but assured us they could do a great job. They did! They came in on budget. They were extremely attentive to detail. They completed on time. We highly recommend them and we could not be moe pleased with their work. read more

I'm writing this review as Bob and his team are finishing my patio roof extension/renovation. From start to finish, it has been nothing but top-notch. From initial quote, to explaining additional cost (which was very reasonable) that needed to be included. Bob and his partner have been very timely and courteous with all aspects of the project. I couldn't be happier with end result, and they provided me with other sub's to have more work done in the future. His price for the job was exceptionally reasonable, and beat quite a few others. The workmanship has been outstanding. So don't just give lip service to helping Vets, but actually do the right thing and hire them. You won't be disappointed. read more

We engaged Vetsbuilt after a disastrous few months with an unlicensed contractor who took a lot of money from us and did very little in return. We called DJ, who promptly came round, assessed what needed to be done, and got his crews to work. In addition to managing his workload, he also went out of his way to recover some marble that had been 'lost' by the previous contractor. At all stages of the process we were kept informed, and everything was clearly laid out in contracts and change orders. What started as a relatively small project took on a whole new scope once we saw how well DJ managed the crews and got the work done. In short we are very happy with the service provided by Vetsbuilt and would not hesitate to recommend them. In the minefield of hiring contractors, I speak from experience in saying that Vetsbuilt are honest, forthright and do excellent work. read more

Needed 3 bathrooms renovated. These guys got good reviews, thought anyone with military background would at least be responsive. Wrong. 2 voicemails and 2 emails later, no response. Not a peep. Crickets. Called two other companies and got what I had hoped to get from VetsBuilt- a call within a day or two and a timely appointment for estimates which were in line with my expectations. Looking to waste some time? Call these guys read more

These guys are great! I had a slider door replaced, with an external wall and doggy door added. DJ kept me up to date throughout the process, was very professional, and friendly. I'm super happy with the final result! read more

Had a remodel to do on our kitchen. Would loved to have used these guys for my project. They are in high demand and booked up. They redid the valley areas they work in, so being on the NW side of town was too far away for them to do the work for me. Support the vets! read more

We began a big remodel on February 1st and It has been a great experience so far. The team Bob has brought together is nothing short of fantastic! He keeps us in the loop on an almost daily basis and, if you can believe it, we are AHEAD of schedule. We have even had 3 neighbors stop us to say how impressed they were with the crew - onsite each morning, not outside taking breaks, and cleaning up each night. I'll post a final review but if you are looking for a recommendation, look no further! read more

I recently decided to do some work on my house, but didn't really have the time or patience to call several people to do estimates for each separate job - I had worked with Bob through my work, so I called him - he responded almost immediately and we began planning Stucco, paint and windows and doors for my house. I had some hold ups with my refinancing, but when it finally through Bob was ready to go. I had the Stucco and Window people at my house within the same week. The project was a bit drawn out because I ended up buying a custom front door, but the day the door came in, the folks from K&J doors were at my house putting them in, and the following day the stucco guys were here. He's been to the house several times to check on progress, and he made several special trips, one of which to install a screen door for me. Bob had realized that the screen was a 2 person job, and brought along a friend who had installed several screens in the past. Once they unboxed my door, they realized that I had purchased the wrong size door. Bob packed the door back up, went to Home Depot, returned it, got the right door and had it hung, all before I got home from work. Everyone that works with Bob has been professional and so easy to work with. Bob had the contacts and resources to get things done (even last minute) and always answered my million questions. I would absolutely recommend VetsBuilt Contracting! read more

I just had my house remodeled by DJ and have never been more pleased. The replaced the flooring, repaired the bathroom shower and updated the fireplace. They were on time, gave great suggestions and the final product looks spectacular. He knew we were selling our house so that was all taken into consideration. Love these guys and what they do. Have already recommend them to all my friends!! read more

After interviewing several contractors we were so pleased to have picked this company. They just finished our 3 bathroom remodels. His pricing was fair and he always was prompt with follow up. Loved the tile crew too! Happy to share my pictures with any potential customers! read more

DJ is a great guy to do business with. I am one of the his contractors and it's comforting to see another company that strives for customer service and satisfaction just as much as I do . He's a pleasure to work with, keeps constant communication, and will make sure the job gets done RIGHT. I wish everyone I did work for was as trustworthy and reliable as DJ read more

VETSBuilt recently did some remodel work on our rental home. We met with Bob and he was knowledgeable and easy to work with. The home is 30 yrs old and the two bathrooms could not have come out any better. His tile contractor was 2nd to none, the shower in the master bath and tub in the guest were gutted and tile replaced the old fake marble board. They are beautiful. We needed some plumbing work, tile replaced on our hallway and misc. items. Bob kept us up to date on the progress and he and his contractors were very cognizant of working around our tenant. We could not be happier and will definitely use them in the future. The only caveat is you must be prepared to purchase and deliver all the materials (i.e. tile, grout, fixtures, toilets, etc.) yourself to the job site - in the end it most likely saves some cash. read more

I couldn't be happier about finding Bob and VETSBuilt for my construction project. After getting quotes from 3 other contractors, we felt most comfortable with VETSBuilt. A true pleasure to work with, Bob and the team came out quickly, quoted competitively, and most important, performed great work. They kept me informed from start to finish, so I knew exactly what was going on through each phase of the project. The quality and professionalism is second to none. This was no small job, as it included severe damage to first and second floor balconies, stucco, large wooden beams, spiral staircase, flooring and wood rot. They came through for my family and I to get my home back to 100%. Bob and VETSBuilt will be the only home remodel/renovation contractor I use. I sincerely recommend this company. Thanks again Bob and crew! read more

My husband and I did a lot of research before choosing a contractor to take down our load bearing wall (in between the kitchen and living room) and raise our ceiling up a couple feet. Bob and his team were the most attentive, personable, and professional of everyone we met. They did a great job with the work they did, while finishing the project on time and very close to our estimated budget. We will definitely be using them again when we add on to our home. read more

DJ, who owns VETSBuilt with his brother, a former Marine, came out to my house and was able to take care of my contracting job right away. They do great work, and I appreciate that they hire veterans. I will definitely call VETSBuilt in the future. read more

I trust our Vets before I found them. I am happy to tell Yelp viewers that they proved our Vets are the most efficient and organized group. I live in CA and take care my dad's property in AZ. Because I am not in the area, I have been taken advantage of by bad contractors. I finally had Bob help me with some serious issues. I am so blessed to have chosen this crew. I still have more unresolved projects that I will be trusting them with. They have been very reliable and shown great care if the work they have done. read more

We contracted our remodel project of a 1950s vintage central Phoenix home with VETSBuilt Contracting. The entire project was well executed from the beginning. They were also the most responsive business during the initial bidding. DJ and his team of experts accomplished work that included electrical upgrades, plumbing upgrades, complete flooring and bathroom tile upgrades, and drywall work. The team held to schedule commitments and executed work in a professional way. The Quality of Workmanship from each area of trade was accomplished flawlessly. We will use DJ and his team again as we see them as trusted/professional partners that provide great workmanship, a fair market price, and a schedule you can count on. Special thanks to Sergio for stellar tile work, Jay for super electrical upgrades that brought convenience to the property, and Daryl for plumbing upgrades that addressed issues and modernized the home. read more

We hired VETSBuilt to do several projects in our home. DJ was amazing. He gave us a prompt and very fair estimate on the anticipated work. Not only did he start the work immediately, but he was in constant communication with both us and his sub-contractors so the work was done efficiently and amazingly quickly with minimal inconvenience to us. Their work was superb. As we made additions and expanded the project after work started, VETSBuilt communicated "work change estimates" as we went along rather than surprising us with unexpected expenses (as other contractors had done with us before). Having completed an unpleasant kitchen remodel just prior to this with another company, DJ and VETSBuilt helped renew our belief that there are excellent, honest, contractors out there that do amazing work. It was clear that it was very important to them that we were happy with the work and the outcome. They take pride in their reputation and what they do. HIGHLY recommend. read more
