Remodeler reviews across the US

We put our trust in these people to do what they said they would. We were out of the state of Arizona throughout the entire build process of our bathroom remodel. From the first interview through the build was spectacular. Bret was very thorough and made choices easy for us. Kurt, thank you for all the progress pictures. The office staff was courteous with good phone skills.

We had a very positive experience working with Rise Above Remodeling for our kitchen remodel. What could be a very stressful time was made smooth and uneventful by everyone involved in the process. They were attentive to details prior to beginning the remodel and came out several times to verify our selections. They had a schedule from the day demo started until the finishing touches were completed and they were right on schedule. It was a 5 week process and they followed the schedule as outlined. We could not be happier with the results! We would not hesitate to have Brett and his crew come back to help with future projects.

Our experience with Rise Above for the remodel of our master bath was just wonderful. 10 STARS!!! All the teams, (tile, electrical, demolition, plumbing, painting) that came were very professional and thoughtful as well as very competent. The communication between Kurt, Skylar and the teams was impressive. Kurt addressed all our questions and completed many of the minutia tasks we requested. Bret was very helpful in creating our new vision for the bathroom and Cassandra with her designer eye was most helpful.. KUDOS to Rise Above. You exceeded our expectations and we have already recommended Rise Above to many friends here in Anthem.

The team at Rise Above remodeled our kitchen and 2 bathrooms and what a difference! Rise Above has a great team, clear process, and they excel at communicating daily. They stayed on schedule, and our kitchen and bathrooms look fantastic! They were able to take our kitchen and baths from a 1997 era to today. Our kitchen is now functional and beautiful, well done Rise Above!

I highly recommend Rise Above Remodeling for your next remodel or new build! From the design process to the installation, their service and professionalism were incomparable! Do yourself a favor and give Bret a call! You won't be disappointed!

We loved working with Bret and the Rise Above team on our home remodel! Everything turned out so beautifully - the pictures speak for themselves. They only use the best products and features. We love having a pull out for our cutting boards / cookie sheets, built-in trash & recycling, lazy susan, etc. in our new kitchen. The timing for everything was perfect and the project stuck to plan. Every person who came to the house was so personable and nice and really treated our home like their own. We can't wait to work with them again on our upcoming bathroom remodels.

The guy over at Rise Above are nothing short of amazing. The whole crew from Kurt making the schedules, to Bret working with me on change orders. They made remodeling my kitchen, and master bathroom a breeze. And the contractors they work with are something special, they made it a breeze with the renovations

I chose rise above for a walk in shower because they were a local business and seemed very nice. Once the project started the tile started to look very plain and boring, I didn’t get much direction or input from the owner on what it would really look like, I was a little disappointed. But Chiquis Aguilera saved the day! She installed the tile and she knew how I felt about it being so plain, so I added a contrast piece and now my shower is beautiful. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be very happy with the original design. Chiquis is a precious gem they need to hold on to.

We had an unfortunate situation earlier this year - a slab leak under our kitchen sink - which forced us into doing a kitchen remodel as we lost half of our kitchen during the process of fixing the leak. We received a referral from someone else to contact Bret from Rise Above. When calling Bret, he said he would call me back as he was at another job, and returned my call within just minutes. He was super friendly and responsive. He came to our home to give an estimate in just a few days after my initial phone call. Bret was pleasant, informative and made us feel comfortable choosing his company to do the work. We had a complete kitchen makeover, including removal of a wall and raising the kitchen ceiling. We also had tile put throughout our whole house, aside from the bedrooms. Rise Above also remodeled both of our bathrooms. This was something we've never endured before - a complete overhaul of most of our home. We were nervous to spend the money and have our house completely torn up. We were completely satisfied with the work done to our home. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I felt they had the same care to detail that my husband and I have. They were friendly, responsive and never once made us feel pressured. I would highly recommend Bret, Skyler, Randy and Louis to do any work for you.

Rise Above remodeled my entire kitchen, my 2 bathrooms and replaced all the flooring in my entire house. I could not express my gratitude enough for the BEST remodeling team in the entire valley. From start to finish EVERYONE was so professional and communication was beyond excellent. Thank you everyone at Rise Above for such a great experience. You all are the best!

The Rise Above Remodeling team did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel! They were very communicative during the entire process - providing us with daily updates and next steps. The entire process was extremely smooth. When one part of the project was complete, they had the next task lined up with the subcontractors so there was never a lull in the project. All the subcontractors were very professional and courteous and did a fantastic job. We are very happy with the final result!

Rise Above Remodeling definitely lives up to their name. They absolutely rise above their competition.
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. Their installer, Saul, is an absolute artist and for a one man show he was super fast! You can see why Rise Above uses him.
All and all we couldn't be happier and have recommended them to several friends.

Rise Above Remodeling was amazing to work with. We had hired them to redo our master bathroom and flooring and it came out beautiful. We initially met with Bret and Skylar who came over to our home to discuss what we were wanting and then later they came up with project options and material choices for us to select. Once we got started on the remodel we worked closely with Kurt and he made every day easier for us by letting us know who would be showing up and at what time we would be expecting them. At the end of the day we would get a recap of their progress and what to look forward to the following day. At one point we decided to add to our project and tile up to the ceiling and they quickly adjusted the plan and pricing for us and they still finished the entire project by their projected date. We would hire and work with Rise Above again in a heart beat. We have recommended them to our friends whenever they are looking to remodel.

Bret and his team are fantastic! Very professional and knowledgeable. Worked with me on a bathroom, master closet and laundry room remodel. Understood my vision and executed with quality materials and expert workmanship. Kurt ran the projects and was fantastic about sending an initial timeline and subsequent updates. Highly recommend!

We recently completed a full home remodel with Rise Above Remodeling, and the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, their team was professional, communicative, and genuinely committed to delivering high-quality work while sticking to a very detailed budget and timeline.

Every part of the project was handled with care and craftsmanship. They listened closely to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure every detail was done right. The crews always showed up on time, kept the workspace clean, and treated our home with respect—something we truly appreciated.

What impressed us most was their transparency and organization. Our project lead Kurt was absolutely phenomenal! He always kept us in the loop with daily progress recaps and any questions we had were answered quickly and clearly. The final result exceeded our expectations. Our remodeled space is not only beautiful, but functional and thoughtfully put together. It truly feels like a brand-new home.

The owner Bret and his entire team at Rise Above Remodeling absolutely live up to their name—we can’t recommend them highly enough. He genuinely creates a partnership with you. If you’re looking for a team that delivers quality, integrity, and stunning results, this is the company to hire.

We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Rise Above Remodeling for our kitchen remodel! We highly recommend them without any reservation. Our project involved a full gut-and-remodel, including new flooring, cabinets, and a stunning new tile backsplash! We couldn't be happier with the results and the entire process. Rise Above remained loyal to their word, kept good communication throughout and finished our project in a timely manner. Thank you so much for our beautiful kitchen, we appreciate your team and wonderful craftsmanship. Truly top-notch.

I recently had Rise Above Remodeling fix my door, and they did an amazing job. They arrived right on time, were extremely efficient, and got the repair done faster than I expected without sacrificing quality. They explained everything clearly, worked carefully, and made sure the door was perfectly aligned before leaving.

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for my home really stood out. If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled team that takes pride in their work, I highly recommend Rise Above Remodeling. I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects!

Rise Above Remodeling is easily the best remodeling company we have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Rise Above, over the course of 2025, completely remodeled and updated our entire home in two phases. The remodeling included the kitchen, master and guest bedrooms, master and guest bathrooms, office, LR, DR, and FR. All carpets were removed and replaced with wood flooring and all existing tile was completely removed and replaced along with new cabinetry and light fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Bret and Skyler have assembled a consummate team of professionals. Kurt (Project Manager), along with the team of skilled craftsmen - Rick, Saul, George, Gabe, Josh, Andy, Felipe, Jaimie, and Billy – continually demonstrated excellent diligence and extraordinary pride in their respective specialties. Cassandra, Tara, Chir and Connie excel at design consulting along with maintaining a professional office and showroom.

Both phases of the Project were completed on time and follow-up was promptly handled. Communication from Kurt was daily and included the tasks completed that day, the tasks for the next day, the individual who would be there and the time they would arrive.

Anyone who has been involved with a remodeling project knows that the lack of communication from contractors is one of the most frustrating facets of a remodel. Rise Above removes that frustration completely.

We highly recommend Rise Above Remodeling for their professionalism, diligence, skilled craftsmen, communication, ability to transfer our design ideas into a completed project and more than anything else, their entire team are just nice folks.

Do yourself a favor. If you are considering a remodel project, be sure you consider Rise Above Remodeling as your Project team.

Huge shout out to Higley Construction for the amazing work on our basement! They just finished building out a mother-in-law suite for us, and it turned out better than we imagined. It’s hard to find a crew that is both highly skilled and genuinely easy to work with, but they were great. If you have a big home project coming up, give them a call!

Becky and Joe do an amazing job building homes from ground up and renovating homes! The care and details they put into their homes shows in the quality of them! I highly recommend Higley Construction!

Joe and his crew are amazing! After a horrible experience with another contractor last year it took me a long time to trust anyone with our home again. Joe came highly recommended, and pretty much transformed our whole house, including our attic in a short period of time into the most beautiful space.This was such a wonderful experience, Joe and his team were a pleasure to work with and we will be forever grateful for our beautiful home!
