What Remodeling With Elite Looks Like

Elite Home Remodeling is a licensed Arizona contractor — ROC #366903 — working in Phoenix and across the East Valley. You can look that license up yourself in a few seconds on the Registrar of Contractors' public register, and the hiring guide explains what that license does and does not guarantee — about us or anyone else you get a bid from.

From first call to final walk-through

1. 1. You get in touch

   Call, or send the form at the foot of this page with a few details about your kitchen. We reply within one business day and set up a time to come and see it. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation attached to it.

2. 2. We come and look at the kitchen

   We walk the room with you, listen to what you want, and say plainly what is realistic. This is also where we flag the things that move a Phoenix kitchen budget — whether the sink or stove is moving, what the slab means for the plumbing, and whether anything above the ceiling or behind the wall is likely to surprise us. You get an honest ballpark before you have spent anything.

3. 3. A written, itemized quote

   You get the scope of work broken into line items — labor, materials, and an allowance for each selection you have not made yet — along with a realistic schedule. You can see what drives the cost and change it before you commit, rather than discovering it halfway through.

4. 4. Agreement and a start date

   Once the scope and the price are agreed, we lock in a start date and a payment schedule tied to milestones. Arizona law sets out what a residential contract has to contain, and ours contains it. You will not be asked for more than a third up front.

5. 5. Ordering, and the wait nobody enjoys

   Cabinets are ordered first, because their lead time usually decides when demolition can start. Appliances are confirmed by exact model number before that order goes in, since the cabinets are built to their dimensions. This is the quiet stretch of the project, and we would rather tell you it is coming than have you wonder.

6. 6. The build

   One project manager owns your timeline and coordinates every trade. We pull the permits on our license — never on an owner-builder form you sign — and we book the inspections. You get regular updates, and if something changes, you hear it from us early and in writing as a change order you approve first.

7. 7. Template, and the gap in the middle

   Countertops are templated once the cabinets are in, and the stone shop needs about a week to cut and finish your slab. This is the stretch where the kitchen looks nearly done and has no sink. It is normal, it is in the schedule you were given, and it is the single most common thing people are not warned about.

8. 8. Final walk-through and the punch list

   Before we call it finished, we walk the kitchen together and write down whatever is not right. Those items get completed as part of the job, not left for later. Then we clean up, hand it over, and stand behind the workmanship — if something needs attention afterwards, you know exactly who to call.

What we commit to in writing

• Response within one business day.
• An itemized quote with the scope, the allowances and the schedule — before you commit to anything.
• No more than a third down, with the rest tied to stages of completed work.
• Any change to the price or the scope as a written change order you approve first.
• Permits pulled on our license, and the inspections booked by us.
