    Scottsdale Area Service Providers

    Barry's black bookHere’s a list of my favorite vendors and service providers throughout Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. You cannot beg, borrow, steal or pay to be included on my list. These are simply individuals or companies that have provided quality work, products, knowledge and great service to myself, clients, or other Realtors in my sphere.

    Not all of these contractors are licensed, bonded or insured. If that is material to you, do your due diligence. You can visit the Arizona Registrar of Contractors to look up license status.

    Air Conditioner Cages:

    Mark Metzger
    Business: 623-561-0528
    Cell: 623-377-1254

    Alarm Systems:

    Simplisafe
    Website: http://simplisafe.com/

    Paul McKenna
    Phone: 480-710-5021

    Notes: Paul's pricing is great due to the high volume of work they do. They're the fabricator for most of the Home Depot jobs done in the state, and work with Ashton Woods and Shea Homes. Pick the granite from his yard for maximum savings.

    Ballroom Finishes
    April Mohn
    Phone: (602)451-2022

    Phone: (602) 944-9206
    Website: http://www.lovecarpetcare.com/index.html

    Notes: Nick with Love Carpet Care is very inexpensive and does a great job. If you want to give this a try on your own, Simple Green yields amazing results and is available at stores such as Home Depot. You may also want to look into having your grout stained. Staining the grout makes the grout look brand new and is sometimes just a little more than what it costs to get the grout cleaned, depending on what company you use.

    Phone: 623-544-1865

    Website: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Todd-Edwards-Air-Conditioning-and-Refrigeration/197432873017

    Notes: Over 20 years in the business and honest, true professionals. They primarily sell Trane's and Goodman's when installing new units. Check out a Goodman with the inexpensive 10 year extended "Easy Care" warranty for peace of mind. Great value. Timely on general service calls for repairs as well. 

    Flores Air Conditioning and Heating
    Phone: (602) 486-4531
    Website: http://www.floresairconditioning.com/
    Yelp Reviews: http://www.yelp.com/biz/flores-air-conditioning-and-heating-phoenix?osq=Air+Conditioning+Repair 

    Notes: These guys have really good pricing on new units. Trane, Rudd etc. I find West Coast Plumbing & Air to be more reliable and prompt for general service calls though.

    Website: https://www.facebook.com/ValleyPlatinumStagingLLC

    Home Warranty Companies:

    Buyers 2-10
    Website: http://www.2-10.com/

    Notes: Buyers 2-10 and Old Republic are far and away my favorite two home warranty companies. The most important thing to do before ordering a home warranty is to read the policy thoroughly so you understand what coverage is provided. 

    Old Republic
    Website: http://www.orhp.com/

    Hotels / Motels:

    The Phoenician
    6000 East Camelback Road

    FAX: (480) 949-7583
    Website: http://www.motel6.com/reservations/motel_detail.aspx?num=29

    Notes: Ok, this is not even close to being one of my favorite Scottsdale hotels / motels. However, if you are coming into town to look at homes and you just want a cheap place to crash in an amazing location near everything, this is the place. We're talking $35.00 a night cheap (non peak season).

    House Cleaning Service:

    Reyna
    Phone: 480-277-8004 (texting is best)

    Notes: This is a new addition to the list, but an agent in my sphere recently used Reyna's business for cleaning his personal home. In his words "A-MAAZZZ-INGGGG." 3 people showed up and spent 5 hours cleaning the home. They cleaned his windows, air vents, sofa, carpets, inside can lights, chandeliers, hosed off his patios etc. They even washed a couple dishes he had in the sink. Also in his words "customer service on steroids."

    Notes: I had this company come out to my personal home after a couple of pool companies couldn't find the source of a leak in my pool. They will prove there is either a leak in your pool and pinpoint the source, or prove there isn't a leak. The charge was $340.00 and they made 3 or 4 trips to my home without any additional charges.
