I have never remodeled a space before and knew I needed help. I was so fortunate to work with all the people at Southern Mesa. They were great with communication, and making sure that they did a great job which they did. I am enjoying my new space and am thrilled with the wonderful work they did. I would highly recommend this company for anyone wanting to update their space. They also did some landscaping for me which I am also very happy with. I plan to request their help with any future needs.

Southern Mesa is an excellent company that lives up to its word. They have a list of core values that they truly honor & that’s what makes working with them a great experience. Their pre-project planning & communication is outstanding & this lends itself to a very smooth execution of the project. The communication remains strong throughout the entire process so that as a homeowner, you’re in the loop about everything. We did a total remodel of our kitchen & main living space to make it a very open concept design. It turned out so well & everything we’d dreamed of & planned was fulfilled & then some! We never had concern about the crew, as they are very professional & represent the company well. Our neighbors even commented on how friendly, polite & tidy they were. The subcontractors who come in are all vetted & we actually got to meet each of them ahead of time in a planning meeting. It’s these details that make a huge difference & instill confidence in turning your home over for a project. I could go on & on, but suffice it to say that Southern Mesa does excellent work from the initial meeting clear through to the big reveal. Our house is beautiful & the craftsmanship is superior. They care about their work & want it to shine. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give is that we will have them back for more work. We’re planning Phase 2 of our remodel & we KNOW that there’s no need to look for anyone else. It’s Southern Mesa or bust for us!!

The crew that worked on our project were very professional. They contacted us ahead of time when they were coming and came when they said they would. They prepped their work by protecting all surfaces they would be walking on. They encouraged us to inspect their work at every step. We are very pleased with the final results. We would recommend this company to everyone we know!

We recently contracted with Southern Mesa for our kitchen upgrade. The team was consistently professional and incredibly thorough throughout the renovation. Their crew was punctual, reliable, and kept the workspace as clean as possible during the entire project. They were proactive in keeping us informed of each phase and what to expect next. Their pricing was fair for the quality delivered, and the end result is beautiful. We'd happily use them again for future projects.

We worked with Southern Mesa to demo our kitchen counters & install a new backsplash, and they did a fantastic job. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding - they care about the little details and take the time to do things right. What really sets Southern Mesa apart is the communication. We had a group chat with our project manager, Cody, and the owner, Kyle, so we knew what to expect at all times during our project. Cody, Sage, and Ben were an amazing team to work with, and I hope to work with them on many more projects in the future.

Southern Mesa is a 5 star company! Kyle and Cody took my window replacement project from start to finish with incredible communication and follow through. Even with an issue with the window manufacturer sending an incorrect size and delaying the completion of the project, the communication was outstanding. They had their pulse on every aspect of the project and it’s clear they are customer service oriented. Their attention to detail is superb and I throughly enjoyed working with them and am already looking at a next project because they are that good. Highly recommend!
