Constraction reviews in Tempe, Arizona

These guys really have an attention to detail, very well coordinated and skilled. If anyone is looking for a remodel for a kitchen or bath be sure to give them a call. We are looking to build a home soon as well and i will definitely be calling Ruben with Matador Construction to take care of us once again. Excellent work guys!!

Very impressed with the work. Ruben was very informative, professional and kept in touch about the job. He was able to arrange for the project to be done in a timely manner and also was able to work through it with the insurance company without much hassle on my part. Highly recommend Matador, definitely made everything look like nothing ever happened!

Great experience with Matador Construction. Everyone was very professional. Thank you for your service.

Matador Construction recently finished up a job I contracted them for and I cannot express how good of a job they did. The work was completed on Schedule and all the employees were very respectful. The job came out amazing even better than I pictured. I will be referring all my friends. Thank you Matador Construction for the amazing job you have done. I will definitely be contacting you again for any future projects I have in mind.

Great experience with this company!
Called for an estimate Thursday and they were able to get me in their schedule right away on Saturday!
Very fair prices and quick scheduling.
Ruben did some work fixing up my vinyl floors and did an excellent job & cleaned up any mess after. Quality service and will recommend to others.

We have recently worked with Ruben , Joanna and Geraldo of Matador Construction and were not disappointed! Unfortunately we had a plumbing issues in our master bathroom and Matador was highly recommended to us. The same day we made a call in, Ruben and Joanna were in communication and scheduling an inspection with us. Ruben arrived on time on said date and was very Personable, detailed with the plan of action and was as accommodating as possible during the Thanksgiving Holiday. We ordered our material beforehand and Matador offered to pick it up for us so that there was no inconvenience on our end.

The work was completed nicely and in the specified timeframe. Geraldo blended our floors well to the areas that was not impacted. We didn’t have any paint or the name of the one used , but it was no issue- he matched it so well that we couldn’t even tell where the new paint started and ended. Same goes with the repair of Sheetrock, tape and texture! This team has answered all of our questions, addressed our concerns and we can’t Thank them enough!

Thank you Ruben, Joanna and Geraldo- this was one less hassle made easy by you and your team!

Ruben came and put our house back together after we had a fire. He finished when he said he would finish which we all know never happens. After he was done we had a flood from a clogged pipe. (Not his fault, just a 20 year old house) I panicked and called Ruben. He came over quickly with a couple guys from his team, air movers in hand. They helped us figure out where the water was coming from and let us borrow the air movers for the weekend. He didn’t charge for this, he just showed up to help! This is the type of guy you want on your house remodel. Cynthia in his office is also amazing to work with too!

Due to a recent calamity I had with our water heater, I was in need for timely and professional repairs to the raised platform for the water heater and adjacent drywall.
Timely repairs was of the essence. Our insurance agent shared a few reputable companies with me. I googled them and chose Matador Construction and the favorable reputation that Ruben and
his company has had in the Phoenix area.
Glad I did, hope you will too, if ever needed.

The work that Matador did was great. All of their employees do great work and take care of business.

However, Ruben's attitude and communication skills are sorely lacking. We had our hardwood floors replaced along with a few walls and a cabinet from a flood. Since we had to move everything out of our house to have the flooring done, I asked Ruben if we could leave the elevated things in closets and pantries since they were off the floor. He assured me that everything would be covered with plastic during the demo. NONE OF IT WAS DONE. Not a single closet or pantry had any plastic during the demo. I had to spend HOURS of my own time dusting everything off. When I complained about it, his fix was to add plastic to only the pantry AFTER the demo was completed.

Then when it came time to settle up the bill, they were very aggressive. They tried charging me for things that were not in the contract, saying that if the insurance company wasn't paying, than I had to. Our contract specifically stated that any additional charges must be approved by us before any work was to be done. They went ahead an completed $2000 worth of additional work without our approval (which was only a phone call away).

Ruben also had no problem cussing me out on the phone when I put up resistance to their out of contract work. They didn't even complete all the work they said they would because of the shouting match we had. Totally unprofessional on every level!

If you decide to go with them, make sure you keep really good tabs on Ruben, or else he will do whatever he wants without keeping you in the loop at all. One of the reasons I went with them in because of their good Google reviews, complimenting his communication. Don't be fooled. The only reason he's even getting 2 stars is because of his workers.

Matador remodeled my master bathroom and did an incredible job! Vicente had a lot of knowledge about what’s trending and modern, which helped bring the whole vision together. The process was smooth from start to finish great communication, no surprises, and the results were even better than expected. Highly recommend!

I couldn’t have picked a better contractor for my home remodel. Ruben was on top of every detail and truly knew every aspect of the construction process. He kept me in the loop every step of the way and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The cabinets especially blew me away they came out better than I ever expected. Top notch craftsmanship and professionalism. I’ll be referring him out every chance I get!

I couldn’t be happier with the custom kitchen cabinets Matador built for me! From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and committed to bringing my vision to life. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the quality of the materials they used is outstanding. They were also great at communicating throughout the process and completed the job on time. My kitchen looks absolutely stunning now! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality custom cabinetry and exceptional service.

We hired Matador Construction to do the glass hand rail at our home and I am beyond impressed and satisfied. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They over exceeded our expectations.

Matador Construction did an amazing job on the full remodel of my new home purchase! They handled everything new flooring, custom cabinets, upgraded lighting, brand new windows, a new roof, and even touched up the landscaping. The entire process was smooth, professional, and the results exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend Matador for any major remodel!

I had custom kitchen cabinets hand made by Matador Construction and the results were nothing short of high-end! From the design phase to the final install, everything was handled with precision and top-tier craftsmanship. The attention to detail, quality materials, and clean finish made my kitchen look stunning modern, luxurious, and built to last. Highly recommend Matador Construction for anyone looking to elevate their home!

The first time we had work done by Matador construction was after a fire in our newly remodeled kitchen. They got our kitchen back to pre-fire condition. Concerns were dealt with quickly and politely.

We were so impressed with Matador's work that when it came time to remodel one of our rental houses, we asked them to do it. Once again, we had a good experience with them which included open communication throughout the project, and our house will rent for much more now that it has been remodeled. They took my budget into account and did quality work.

Matador completely transformed my home with a custom white oak kitchen that went far beyond what I ever imagined. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism from start to finish were outstanding. On top of the kitchen, they also did the beautiful tile flooring throughout the house, and it ties everything together perfectly.

Ruben was incredibly experienced and brought so many great ideas to the table. He educated us on different materials, styles, and even faucets that not only elevated the design but also saved us a ton of money by going smarter routes without compromising quality. Because of his guidance, the results are stunning and everyone who has walked into the house has given us compliments.

Every step of the process was smooth, the end result is both beautiful and highly functional, and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Matador Construction to anyone looking for top quality work and a team you can fully trust with your vision.

Even though it wasn't a large repair, Jonathan was very pleasant to work with, did a very good job. I appreciate good customer service and that's what I got. I'll be checking with Matador Construction for other projects on my to do list.

Highly Recommend!

After dealing with a flaky company that wasted my time, Matador Construction LLC was a breath of fresh air. They got me scheduled right away and were incredibly responsive and professional from the start. The project involved repairing water damage in my restroom, and not only did they do an amazing job, but they completed it quickly and efficiently. They truly went above and beyond—providing a fresh coat of paint that transformed the space and made it look even better than before. If you want quality work done right the first time, Matador Construction LLC is the way to go!

Matador assisted me with a project at my rental property. Their team was efficient, punctual and completed the job quickly. Communication was clear and Ruben was always on top of everything. I truly appreciate their professionalism and would highly recommend their services!

Our nightmare with Matador Construction lasted 2.5 months for a travertine floor installation in our living room that was supposed to take just 4 days.

On the first day, they didn’t even show up (they said they forgot), and on later days, they arrived after 10am despite agreeing to start at 8am. What was supposed to be a 4-day project took two weeks just to complete the basic installation. We were still willing to be patient, hoping for a good outcome. On the last day, however, we were shocked to see the result: all the stone tiles were heavily stained with grout (see photos) and poorly sealed, with visible wipe marks and excess sealant everywhere (see photos). Four separate stone companies later confirmed these issues when we consulted them about repairs.

Initially, we politely asked Matador Construction to fix these problems, but they denied any errors, claiming we didn’t understand how natural stone works and insisting the large black stains were “natural.” They even threatened us with legal action and a lien on our property to collect the remaining payment (we have saved the messages).

When we disputed the payment and told them we would report them to the Arizona ROC and take the matter to court, they sent the same inexperienced worker who caused the damage to “clean” the stains. The result was even worse: excessive scrubbing that permanently damaged the tiles.

After weeks of delays and inaction, leaving us unable to bring back our furniture for 2.5 months, we finally reported them to the Arizona ROC. The ROC officer inspected the floor, said it “looks awful,” and issued an order for them to replace the stained and damaged tiles.

Ruben and Vicente misrepresented their expertise with travertine. The worker they brought had no basic knowledge of working with natural stone (e.g., that grout can stain it). After he had already caused significant damage, we asked to see samples of his previous travertine work, but he was unable to provide any.

Vicente’s communication was consistently poor. Several times, we took time off work and stayed home because they said they would come to fix something, only to be told hours later that the worker had canceled, wasting our entire day.

Many of the positive comments you see here do not reflect our experience. In our case, they failed to deliver even a basic level of professionalism or craftsmanship. We strongly recommend looking elsewhere unless you want months of frustration and substandard work.
