Plywood floors for three months. Crews that vanish for a week. Change orders that double the budget. That is the Phoenix remodel horror story too many homeowners know.
How Fortress Overcomes These Issues:
We are a family-owned Arizona GC with 15+ years remodeling Phoenix Metro homes, 90+ completed projects, and $1.3 billion in Arizona construction managed. Every job is fully permitted, staffed by our vetted licensed trades, and run by a dedicated project manager who answers the phone.
Whole-home remodels. Kitchen and bath gut renovations. Room additions that look like the home was built that way originally. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation and finishes with a number we put in writing — not a moving target.
Most of our remodel work falls into one of three buckets. Each is fully customized to your home — your finishes, your layout, your goals. Every project is fully permitted and code-compliant for Maricopa County.
Fortress General Contracting, Inc. is a family-owned Arizona GC serving the greater Phoenix Metro area since 2008. 90+ completed projects, over $1.3 billion in Arizona construction managed, and a team that has remodeled hundreds of Phoenix-area homes — kitchens, baths, additions, full gut renovations.
Here is how a remodel actually works with us:
01 — Free In-Home Consultation. We walk your home, listen to what is not working, and give you an honest read on scope and budget. No pressure, no obligation.
02 — Design & Fixed Pricing. Plans, finishes, and fixtures locked in. You see one real number — not a range that creeps up later.
03 — Permits, Build & Inspections. Every drawing, every city submittal, every inspection. Licensed Arizona trades, one project manager, weekly progress updates.
04 — Final Walkthrough. You inspect every detail before signing off. We are not done until you are.

Average Client Rating
How long does a kitchen remodel actually take?
A standard Phoenix kitchen remodel runs 6–10 weeks once demo starts, including cabinet lead times. Full gut jobs with structural changes run longer. We give you a real schedule before you sign — not a guess.
Will I have to move out during the remodel?
For kitchen-only or bath-only projects, no — we phase the work and protect your living space. For whole-home remodels and large additions, most clients move out for the heaviest 4–8 weeks. We talk through this during the consult so there are no surprises.
Does Fortress handle the permits and inspections?
Every single one. Drawings, city submittals, every inspection, and final sign-off — all on us. You never deal with Phoenix, Scottsdale, or Tempe permit offices.
What does a typical Phoenix kitchen remodel cost?
Most full kitchen remodels in the Valley land between $55,000 and $120,000 depending on size, layout changes, and finish level. Bath remodels run $25,000–$60,000. We price every job to a fixed number after the design phase.
Can you match the addition to my existing home?
Yes — that is the whole point. Roof line, stucco texture, window style, interior trim, flooring transitions. When we are done, an addition should look like the home was built that way originally. Anything less is a fail in our book.
What if I find something I want to change mid-project?
It happens, and we plan for it. Change orders are written, priced, and approved in writing before any work shifts — no verbal handshakes, no end-of-job surprise invoices. The number you sign is the number you pay, plus only the changes you specifically authorize.
Posted on Amy WhitworthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently experienced a storm that tore the majority of my roof off and created water damage throughout the house. Once I met with my insurance adjuster and the claim was approved, I had Fortress Contracting start rebuilding. Jason and his crew were fast, professional, and courteous. They showed up exactly when they said they would, kept the worksite incredibly tidy, and the quality of the new roof is impeccable. Jason maintained clear communication throughout the construction phase, always keeping us informed of the progress. Fortress made a stressful time, a lot easier.Posted on Chase MollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My project is off to a great start.
