Tom Bisgaard Satisfied Customer

Hi Tom. Thank you for taking the time to post a 5-star review.

Kathy Cunningham Satisfied Customer

We are pleased with our kitchen and bath remodel and receive numerous compliments.

Daniel Dodson Satisfied Customer

They were the one group who listened to what we wanted and were able to get everything we asked for. Others had some part they wouldn't do. They were patient with all my questions and always provided a complete answer. The results are very good and we are pleased with the results. If we need additional work elsewhere in the house I wouldn't hesitate to have them do the work.

Judy Bjorhus Satisfied Customer

Tru Builders are amazing! I was astonished how these guys made the remodel process stress free. I would not have thought it was possible. From day one they were professional, friendly, communicated every day, no delay between steps in the process, always let us know what was going to happen the next day, used quality materials, etc. I can’t say enough and if I had the capital I would have them do more updates. They gave us a beautiful master bath. Love these guys! Judy and Ron in Wickenburg

Siera Nygaard Satisfied Customer

Great service always and competitive pricing. Hiring the right contractor to complete the job can be stressful but Tru Builders makes the process easy and always delivers. We are always satisfied when Tru Builders has completed our projects. Hire these guys and get the job done right the first time! You will not be disappointed.

Gayle Greear Satisfied Customer

I am a snow bird and had interviewed 3 builders last spring for updating my kitchen and electric panel. I wanted a fair price for good quality. Max, Lori and their team have exceeded my expectations in communication, workmanship and trust. No question goes unanswered in a timely manner. Shopping with Lori was not only exciting to pick out new things but we had fun like being out with a long time friend. I am planning my next project updating my bathrooms. Thanks Tru Builders.

Ken Kness Satisfied Customer

Worked closely with Mitch. He is top notch and we relied on him and felt we could count on and trust him.

Anthony Burton Satisfied Customer

Family owned business that is more professional than the big contracting companies. This team has great custumer service. State of the art applications to track every step of the planning and build process. I love the construction+plus app. Tru builders treats us like part of the team and together it feels like we can get great things done. Thank you for partnering with us on our renovation journey!

June Foy Satisfied Customer

Tru Builders remodeled my powder room. The craftsmanship of all the people who worked on my project was outstanding. Especially above and beyond was the tiler, Adrienne. I saw in my mind an abstract design of organic waves using 2 colors of glass bubble tiles. He did an excellent job of fulfilling my dream. I could not be happier.

Victoria O'Toole Satisfied Customer

We contacted Tru Builders to have them complete a small kitchen remodel/addition for us as we needed more storage. Working with the team was wonderful and they were so helpful in getting us what we needed on time and in our budget. Max and his crew were wonderful to work with and completed the addition beautifully. It is my favorite part of our home and because of Max and his team, we are able to create priceless memories!
