Artizon Construction LLC

Excellent. Really good. I'd give him a 10. He was reliable. Everything was done beautifully. Just wonderful. Perfectionist. Excellent work and craftsmanship.

Fantastic job! My porch needed repair/rebuild after a tree fell on top of it. They came out to inspect started the job right away and started a few days after I asked them to. They finished on time and within budget- they actually fixed a few additional items and didn't charge for them. Best experience I've even had with a contractor. I would definitely hire them again without hesitation.

Will give me a very fair estimate of the work to be done compared to 2 other bids. However was still a bit over my budget for the project. He was willing to work with me on cutting out some pieces of the work to be done to lower the cost. Will and his brother were very neat, everything was partitioned off properly. The work was done very nicely, very neat and ahead of the time Will originally gave me, Overall was very happy with the work done and the price. I would definitely recommend to try for a bid and I would use again as well.

Wil was great. Very responsive, provided a detailed estimate with a day of his initial visit which is more than I can say for most others we brought in. He and his team completed the work on a very tight turnaround. They were very neat and disposed of all materials at the end of their work. About a month after the work was complete the door was slightly off the hinge. Wil came right away to fix with no questions asked.

will and the team were extremely professional and considerate; the work completed was costed, detailed and explained well, and executed flawlessly.  Would definitely use them again.

Arrived promptly at the scheduled time for the estimate.  Upon reviewing the issue, he was able to fix it right there on the spot.  Wil was professional and pleasant to deal with.  He didn't even mind my big dog licking his face while he sat on the floor and worked.

Project turned out great.  Very pleased with the work and communication.

If you are looking for a contractor with a high level of integrity, you have found it in Will Lazo. We hired Wil after an unexpected malfunction required total renovation of a bathroom in our home.  We chose Artizon not only for the competitive bid Wil provided, but also because of his willingness to accommodate us on a reasonable but inflexible completion date. 
We are so happy with our decision. It was a challenging project. Wil delivered on time (even though unforeseen setbacks required some late nights); and the work is top quality. Wil answers his phone, he follows up, he shows up when he says he will, he cleans up after himself.  You don't see that every day.  
The company's initial estimate is a "base case". Complications and extras will cost more. Overall, we paid a reasonable price for some excellent work.  
We will have Wil back for future projects. 

Work was done professionally and beautifully. Friendly and responsible crew.

The service was performed professionally and on time.
We were very pleased with the result.

Wil and his crew were very professional and dependable. They were also responsive to changes that came up in the project. I am happy with the quality of their work and they made the experience very easy. I will consider their services in the future.

Added a 20' by 20' deck to our home which was renovated by the same contractor the year before.  The deck is made of composite material and virtually maintenance free.  Pictures are still viewable on the contractors web site.  A second layer of shingles was added to the roof.  The gutters were replaced and as well as the window shutters.  The vinyl siding was also power washed.  The entire construction went off without a hitch.

We hired Wil to renovate our sun room and build all the shelves for us in 2011.  He did a fantastic job.  We found a new house which we like last year but the house had not been well maintained.  We hired Wil as a consultant to check the roof and other carpentry related quality of the house.  He came on time and did a thorough job for us even though that day was extremely cold.  He later on issued a detailed report to us.  Thank you Wil!

Pricing was good on both projects.

Quick response to all calls.

Work performed neatly and efficiently leaving the projects well done.

Lazo takes his work quite seriously and aims to please!

This was our second project with Artizon.  They did a complete gut and remodel of our attic.  They replaced the windows; they put up new drywall and baseboards; they built window benches; they built a secure railing for the stairwell.  Wil's team remains very easy to work with.  They show up on time; they are professional; they pay attention to cleanliness.  Most of all, the quality of work is great.  We will continue to recommend Artizon for any remodeling project

We were very pleased with Artizon's work. Wil met with us to get an understanding of what we wanted (i.e. removing part of a load bearing wall to open up a room and install a load bearing beam) and provided us with a quote shortly after. He was easy to reach out and accommodated the dates of work (that took approx 2 days) so that they didn't create issues with our schedule. The work was done well and on time. Wil coordinated the coming of the different people involved and everything went smoothly.

price and quality were fine, horrible experience. it took almost 4 weeks to complete what should have been done in 1 week, and at the same time i received horrible attitude as a throw in bonus. would never use again

The estimate was delivered promptly after a survey. Structural work proceeded expertly and quickly,  with creative solutions to small problems which revealed themselves along the way. Design of the stair rails and posts was careful and sensitive, meeting current code requirements without sacrificing the style of the rest of the  porch. All requests by a finicky homeowner were accommodated without complaint. Unlike some other contractors, Wil Lazo was frequently on-site and always easily available by phone. His small crew was pleasant, highly- skilled, and self-starting. I enjoyed dealing with Artizon and  I'm very satisfied with the results.

Artizon has done great works for us in the past having replaced two stair cases at the rear of our home. Based on this we thought nothing of having them do the front / main entry steps / porch as well. 
Full disclosure - the finished project looked great. However, there were a number of issues and caveats that arose which would prevent us from using Artizon in the future:
1 -- Work was schedule 6 weeks in advance to ensure it would be completed before a large party we were hosting.
2 -- Artizon no longer has carpenters/laborers on staff, they sub out all activities. 
3 -- Initial sub-contractor used by Artizon for demo of old steps/porch were nice folks, but never on time and often absent.
4 -- That same sub also did initial foundation / construction work for NEW steps/porch.
5 -- They took short cuts which led to supports and fittings for new porch being in the wrong place.
6 -- Above included NOT putting any supports under the wheels of the dumpster to protect the driveway (big dents left)
7 -- They also made errors in the initial framing of the porch structure.
8 -- After talking with Artizon, initial sub was replaced with new sub, but again availability was an issue.
9 -- Once the 2nd sub got going on the job, slow and steady progress was made with a few minor errors along the way.
10 - During the entire process Artizon representative chiefly came to job site when called with an issue or looking for payment.
The finished product looked great and was well constructed but had a number of short cuts and omissions which were bothersome. All previous jobs we had done by Artizon were completed with no detail left undone. This latest job had numerous small details left undone and when we asked Artizon about how these would be completed, we were quoted rather high additional costs.
The price of the job was fairly reasonable based on the work to be done. However, the attempted nickel and diming for additional funds was annoying and uncalled for:  
A) The attempt to obtain $450 for an extra dumpster because Artizon misjudged the about of rumble from the old steps/porch.
B) When asked if our driveway would be repaired due to the damage done by overweight dumpster, Artizon shrugged.
B) Leaving the tops of the replacement columns completely open to the weather (not filled and caulked).
C) The attempt to obtain an additional $500 to paint the columns and do the touch up / priming / painting around banisters, etc.
It is understandable that business models need to change over time and that costs incurred must be carefully managed. But when these steps directly interfere with the level of service received and the confidence that a client should have that the job will be done accurately and on time, then that new business model will not work for very long.

It was a large and complex job involving many sub-contractors and trades and this contractor managed all of these sub-contractors extremely well -- keeping them on schedule and coordinating superbly.  I know something about building and I can say that his electricians and plumbers were top notch.  The carpentry work and the necessary breaking up of the cement foundation to lay the pipes was done by his own people as were the framing and extra supports needed to add windows and doors to load-bearing walls.  He was well aware of all codes (and exceeded them [which he pointed out as it was one of my primary concerns]) in terms of ensuring the walls were much stronger than required in terms of structural support.  His team did all the framing and all the finish carpentry and installation of the windows and doors as well.
Beyond the quality, which I feel was really superb (every piece of molding, every window, every sill, one cannot even see a seam and everything appears level to the eye even though the ceiling and floor he had to deal with were not), some other aspects of his delivery were extremely noteworthy:  First of all, he held to schedule on what was a 3 month project.  (My alarm contractor [who was separate and who had to come in when the framing was in but way before job completion, when he then had to return to finish], remarked to me how incredible he thought my contractors were.  He had not expected to be called back to complete his work for another 6 months!  He also remarked on the job's quality.)  Secondly, from the beginning, he isolated the area of work -- both from the rest of the house as well as from the other areas of the lower level that were finished.  He put down tarps and put plastic sheets up on the walls that covered everything and preserved all existing areas, including carpeting, wood work, etc. such that his work -- to the extent humanly possible -- did not impact the rest of the house or the other areas of the lower level that he was not touching.
He and his team were great to work with and discussed all the options with us before doing anything -- every detail, e.g., how the tiles would be laid, etc..  He was not the least expensive contractor; but, his work showed extreme quality and was very much worth what we paid.
