Tyler did an amazing job working with us on an extensive project to add square footage and completely renovate our Scottsdale house. We were living across the country and he did a great job keeping us updated along the way. The finished product blew us away

After interviewing a number of contractors to build our modern desert house, we selected Tyler/Apollo Builders for his can-do attitude on our energy-efficient, high-performance project. The valleyâ s contractors (at the time) were skeptical and inexperienced with the type of construction and materials our project required. Not only did the project introduce non-traditional materials for residential construction, our project was also a major renovation of an existing structure using the exterior block walls, an infrastructure overhaul, and major site work. From the outset, Tyler worked closely with our engineer & design team to educate himself on the material specs and constructions methods. Once construction began, he and his subcontractors were attentive to making sure the house was built to perform as designed. Regular communications kept the project strictly within budget while monitoring schedule. And, when issues arose, Tyler practiced transparency and perseverance when working with the team to identify potential solutions. Itâ s been one year, and our house has the aesthetic appeal we sought while performing brilliantly. The house is water efficient; it uses 1/3 the electricity (no gas) of a comparable sized house; the indoor air quality is top-notch. For a contractor who had never built a high-performance, passive house, Tyler excelled. We recommend him for his integrity and capacity for tackling the unknown.

Purchased a Scottsdale house that needed significant updating. We used Apollo to remodel 2 1/2 bathrooms, install wooden floors, remodel the fireplace, full interior painting, and other upgrades. Tyler was excellent throughout the process: design, helping us make material choices, spotting (and solving) issues as they arose, dealing with mid-construction changes we requested, and finishing on time, as promised. Has stayed involved in the inevitable punch-list process, to make sure we are completely satisfied. Always reachable, always reasonable. Excellent workmanship for a fair price. We couldn't have been happier with our experience.

Dear Tyler, This letter of recommendation/review dated January 30, 2023 (hereinafter the Letter of Recommendation) is submitted without reservation. We are the homeowners that retained Apollo Builders to remediate major damage done to (i) the two-car garage; and (ii) the laundry room. The damage was extensive and required, among other things, reconstruction of the load-bearing walls supporting the garage and the laundry room (hereinafter, the Damaged Areas). My wife and I are both seniors; unfortunately, my wife suffers from difficult health-related issues that require the intervention of various specialties found at the Mayo Clinic. I stress this point because Tyler Kestner was highly sensitive to these health issues when planning the remediation of our home. The reconstruction of the Damaged Areas commenced on January 24, 2023, and concluded on January 30, 2023. The Apollo staff were impeccable in the performance of their job, including (i) on-time arrivals; (ii) assemblage of the materials necessary to complete the remediation without delay or aggravation; and (iii) assuring that each of the subcontractor groups likewise followed the very high work ethic displayed by the Apollo staff. The restoration of the Damaged Areas is now complete; the work was expertly done by applicable professional standards. For example, during the work period, Tyler examined continuously the work done by his staff and his long-term retained sub-contractors. (These tradesmen have enjoyed many years of relationships with Tyler; they also perform their work consistent with the Apollo high work ethic.) In sum, Apollo, Tyler, the Apollo staff, and the assigned subcontractors were the consummate professionals. Respectfully, Allan Martin

The Apollo team built a beautiful enclosed bar in our game room. This project required demo of an existing smaller bar wall and a large closet to create the new space. From the beginning of the project to the end, Tyler and his team took great care to keep the project area clean and contained. The subcontractors used were professional and of the highest quality. The supervisor of this project communicated with us proactively and also responded to any questions we had along the way in a very timely manner. Most importantly, the end product is beautiful and we are very happy with our new bar.

Home remodeling in these days of supply and subcontractor shortages is challenging. To add another challenge, my US home remodel project began while I was out of the country. During weekly online meetings with Tyler Kestner, owner of Apollo Builders, I was very comfortable with his detailed progress reports and updates on my project, as well as the security provided for the site. During this time, most of the demo work was completed on the kitchen, three bathrooms, and other structural work including a new front door system and a new entry to the back patio which enabled easier access and a more open view to the backyard. When I was able to return to the United States and monitor the progress for myself, I was pleased with the progress as promised by Tyler. There were some hiccups along the way, as can be expected in a large project but Tyler and his site manager were quick to ameliorate and fix any problems. I created a â punch listâ for his team and sub-contractors and the items were all dealt with to my satisfaction. Tyler also provided good advice on certain areas of the remodel and I agreed with his style suggestions. Mostly, any problems were due to the supply chain disruption. In addition, the sub-contractors were â good peopleâ and I appreciated their contributions to the final result. The tile sub-contractors were given some tricky tiles to install and did a great job. I used my own painter that I had known for many years and Tyler had no problem with his participation. And now, while sitting in my beautiful new kitchen, I can say that I can recommend Tyler and Apollo builders. While the original timeline was changed due to unavoidable supply delays, I was kept abreast of when the new deliveries would arrive, which I much appreciated. I am very pleased with the results.

The attention to detail was exceptional! The job was cleaned up every day, and protective covers were installed to keep the existing fixtures clean. Then, a cleaning lady came in and cleaned the job site and ajacent room. The construction was beautifully done. Beyond expectations!

Tyler Kestner and his team did an excellent job with our Master Bathroom remodel project. The details in their work were amazing. From the way the project is presented on paper to delivery. I have already recommended them to a friend on mine which Apollo will be doing a major remodel of my friends Master Bathroom. We are completely satisfied with their work. Best remodel experience we have gone through. Their tile guys are the best. All the subs. were respectful of us living through the remodel and honored our time and space during the course of the project. We will be keeping them around for future projects in our home!

I have used many contractors over the years and The Apollo Group is the only group I would use again. A kitchen remodel is difficult at best-this contractor kept the rest of the house clean, maintained aesthetics of the project, and actually finished it to our satisfaction-not that the experience was seamless or without discussion; however, I am satisfied with the result - a first, and I do not feel I wasted a summer on a project - the kitchen is so beautiful that just working in it feels wonderful! The satisfaction with a remodeling project is a first for me - well worth the disgusting amount of time and energy such endeavors demand!

The Apollo Group and their design team did an absolutely wonderful job of remodeling our home. They�re pricing was very reasonable and they paid close attention to all details. We lived in our home during the construction process, and they were very accommodating with scheduling, dust control, and noise. I also had some extremely unique projects such as the fireplaces and bathrooms that required custom engineering, intense stone work and fabulous finishes. They were able to capture my vision and produce a very beautiful home. They were also responsive in returning to address any issues that arose from a remodeling project as large as ours. I highly recommend the Apollo Group.

I worked closely with Tyler. He was fantastic. No hidden costs associated with project. He was up front and even gave credit back for things that were not necessary for him to complete. I needed help on a couple of things outside of this project and Tyler was more than happy to assist. He even did few things on his own without charging for his services. Lastly, when the project was finished, it seemed that Tyler was as proud and happy with the results as I was. It was as if he were having work done on his own home!
