Flooring is essential to both the function and appearance of any living space.

I cannot say enough great things about Rise Above Remodeling. I first hired them to remodel two bathrooms, and I was so impressed with the quality of their work that I later brought them back to remodel my kitchen. Across every project, their workmanship was superb, their team was responsive and easy to work with, and the finished results exceeded my expectations. I am absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Rise Above Remodeling to anyone looking for a contractor who delivers beautiful work and a great customer experience.

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!

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 youre looking for a reliable and skilled team that takes pride in their work, I highly recommend Rise Above Remodeling. Ill definitely be calling them again for future projects!

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.

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 respectsomething 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 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

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.

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!

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.

True professionals. I made the decisions and gave them my vision. They guided and executed. Flawless! From the showroom to all the tradesmen, they have a terrific team. We even did this while out of town! They kept me updated and the results are amazing. Updates 4 bathrooms including taking out two tubs.

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 didnt 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 wasnt for her I wouldnt be very happy with the original design. Chiquis is a precious gem they need to hold on to.

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.

Rise Above recently completed a whole home remodel for me -- Kitchen, both bathrooms, flooring throughout, lighting, garage repairs, and other miscellaneous fixes. I am very pleased with the results. This was a 6-figure project, that we knew would take months to complete. We had 4 contractors come into our home to prepare a quote, 3 quoted on the project, and Rise Above's quote was in the middle. We ultimately chose Rise Above because Bret had us out to the showroom, and really excited us to see the options for cabinets, flooring etc. Bret and Skyler completed the project on time, and there were no surprises thrown at us. There were some blips here and there, which is understandable with all that we had done. But it all got worked out. Skyler and his crew have been there for us before, during, AND after the project was completed. Any issue we had, we texted Skyler, and he got back to me within a few hours - very pleased with the customer service, and Skyler truly wants all his customers happy. We definitely are.

I recently had my Primary Shower and Guest Shower remodeled and Rise Above Remodeling was one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had. I called multiple companies in the area and many were not even interested in my project or gave me extremely high bids. Rise Above was referred to me by a friend and they were by far the most responsive, honest and reasonably priced companies to deal with. Bret was spot on with his design suggestions and Skylar and his team were extremely professional and communicated well throughout the construction process. I have had no problems with my showers post production and they look great! I would highly recommend Rise Above for any remodeling projects you have - you won't be dissapointed!

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.
