Report
I am delighted to highly recommend Julio Castro and his team at Desert Concepts. We hired them to do some extensive repair work on our home, and I have only good things to say about Julio, his team, and the work that they did. They showed up when they said they would, every single day, and came in on budget. Not only is their work excellent, but they were wonderful to work with, and made a point of cleaning up the job site every day as they proceeded with the work. If you are in need of a capable, responsible and reliable construction company, you should definitely consider Desert Concepts. They're great!

Report
Do not do business with this company! One of their company vehicles backed into my car and caused major damage. The driver apologized to me, and after exchanging insurance information said he would inform his boss what had happened. I then learned through this companies insurance provider that the driver had told his boss that I ran into him. I called the company and asked to talk to this drivers supervisor.
I was told they would call me back. That didn't happen. I called again and asked to talk to their HR department. Again I was told someone would call me back. Again, no return call. Not wanting to admit they were at fault for causing an accident, I can just imagine them not admitting fault to construction done incorrectly.

I would not recommend this company At all. First off careless driving, one of them almost crashed into me and my family. He completely ran the stop sign with absolutely no cAre of life! I would not trust them to do any work for our home. You shouldn't either!
