“I recently had my old kitchen remodeled by Republic West Remodeling, and I am very happy with the results. I took my time meeting with four different companies for design ideas. I met with Van the Owner of Republic West and he provided me some good ideas and professional designs to consider. He was patient with me and all my questions. I’m very glad I chose them — they really delivered. They completely transformed my kitchen — removed all the old cabinets, countertops, and the old peninsula layout — and replaced everything with custom cabinets, quartz countertops, backsplash, a new sink, and a beautiful kitchen island. It feels like a brand‑new home! Kathy was wonderful to work with on the interior design side — she helped me pull everything together perfectly — and Dakota, the project manager and main point of contact, kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. The crew was awesome too: Rob did great work on the cabinets, and Steve handled the drywall like a pro. Tommy the tile installer did great work on my backsplash and floor tile repair. I don't remember everyones names that contributed to the work. But I can tell they were all very skilled at their job. The whole process was organized, professional, and surprisingly stress‑free. I’d absolutely recommend Republic West Remodeling to anyone thinking about a kitchen remodel — they were fantastic!”

“We contracted with Republic West after receiving quotes from several remodeling companies. While we originally were going with another company, we changed our minds after spending more time with Van and are very happy with our decision. We had a three-phase project: new pool and backyard landscaping, addition, and complete remodel of existing home. Landscaping included patio and pavilion pavers, artificial turf, and built-in grill. Addition included new bedrooms, laundry room, bathroom, and gym. Remodel included new kitchen, bathrooms, combining two small bedrooms into one bedroom, raising kitchen and hall ceiling, walk-in closets, removing hearth and wood burning fireplace and replacing with electric fireplace, all new flooring and removing popcorn ceilings! Obviously, we had many workers through our home during this time. Dakota was the project manager and was wonderful to work with. He was very responsive to any questions or requests. Rob and Steve were also here a lot working on various aspects of the addition and remodel. Both did wonderful jobs. Everyone was always polite and asked for our opinions and had many good suggestions. I would definitely recommend Republic West for any of your remodeling needs.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Republic West Remodeling on two projects: converting my tandem garage into a media room and replacing the windows in our living room with a sliding glass door. I initially explained my requirements to John Cowan, who provided a comprehensive estimate that instilled a great deal of confidence, prompting me to proceed with the projects. At first, Andrew served as our project manager and did a commendable job securing the necessary permits. However, he was later replaced by Dakota, who truly stood out throughout the process. Dakota's exceptional ability to manage the contractors and accommodate my schedule was impressive. He was consistently communicative and receptive to any last-minute requests, all while ensuring that everything proceeded according to the timeline. In summary, I am very satisfied with the final outcome of the project. I would certainly recommend Republic West Remodeling to my friends and family and look forward to the possibility of working with them again in the future. Van should take pride in having such skilled individuals on his team. All the best to the Republic West team—they rock!”

“We came down to AZ to find a winter home. We found an original 1980 home that hadn't been touched. It was a time capsule of sorts. Republic West was recommended by friends. Van Hansen, the owner, met us at the house during inspection to discuss the project and provide an estimate to see if it was worth the investment to bring it into 2024. We closed on the house in April 2024 and the renovation started after Memorial Day. Being out of state, we needed a full service contractor. We put our trust in the Company to complete the project while we were several states away. Republic West took great care of our home during the process. Our Project Manager, Dakota, provided photos and videos along the way. We arrived in early November. The house was ready in time to spend our first winter in the desert. We would highly recommend Republic West.”
