### Reviews

**★★★★★ — iggyjav, Feb. 2026**

> The Sticks and Bricks team attention to detail and respect for our needs and budget was awesome.  They were very flexible and provided great options during the term of the project

**★★★★★ — cbaerwaldt, Jan. 2026**

> JD and his team were great throughout our entire build process. Integrity and professionalism alongside honest, strong work. Justin was our Project Manager and he was very organized and communicative throughout the entire process. Consistent meetings to review everything (and the inevitable changes that always occur when building) really helped. The amount of subs used throughout the project was A LOT to manage, but the team seemed to do it fluidly and without stress due to great, long-term relationships. Can't recommend S&B enough!

**★★★★★ — KCM, Jan. 2026**

> We recently worked with SB to build a new custom spec home in WR Estates. We signed the contract before permitting began, and the entire process was seamless and highly professional. My wife and I truly enjoyed every step of it, and we now have a beautiful home that we plan to enjoy for many years to come.
> We were actively involved in customizing finishes and selections, which made the experience even more rewarding. The subcontractors—from framers to electricians, plumbers, and beyond—were all outstanding tradespeople who delivered excellent work.
> Of course, no home build is without its challenges, including timing delays, material availability issues, and cost increases. Through it all, SB stayed fully committed and supported us every step of the way.
> Even after completion and move-in, they continued to impress with prompt follow-up and thorough warranty service for any needed adjustments.
> I would strongly recommend SB as a reliable and trustworthy general contractor for a custom home or major remodel project. JD, the owner, is exceptional to work with—responsive, fair, and dedicated to resolving any issues quickly and equitably.

**★★★★★ — Damon Wake, Jan. 2026**

> Excellent build process from start to finish. S&B team worked through design process advising client on budget and feasibility. Build came in in budget and on schedule!

**★★★★★ — Dominic Mancini, Jan. 2026**

> From the very beginning, Sticks and Bricks Development exceeded every expectation. I started this project with zero experience in construction, no knowledge of how to build, where to start, or even how to find the right piece of land. JD was there from day one, meeting me at properties, answering countless calls, and helping me evaluate options until we found the perfect lot. The communication throughout the entire process was exceptional, clear timelines, thoughtful budgeting, and consistent follow-through.
>
> I dove headfirst into building an 8,500, square-foot custom home in Paradise Valley without fully realizing the complexity involved, and at times it felt overwhelming. JD, Justin, and the entire Sticks and Bricks team truly held my hand through the process. Justin, in particular, became someone I genuinely consider a friend, always available, incredibly responsive, and calming whenever questions or concerns came up. Calls were returned almost immediately, and every detail was addressed with professionalism and care.
>
> The project was completed in approximately 18 months, which is remarkable given the size of the home and the strict building requirements in Paradise Valley. Even when timelines felt ambitious, they consistently delivered. When the project wrapped up, I honestly missed the daily collaboration, that’s how much I enjoyed working with this team.
>
> Sticks and Bricks stayed on budget, offered smart solutions when design or architectural costs started to escalate, and found ways to achieve a high-end finish without unnecessary expense. Most importantly, they delivered a beautiful, high-quality home. I would recommend Sticks and Bricks to anyone building in the Phoenix metropolitan area without hesitation. They are reliable, communicative, and exceptionally talented. I’m truly grateful to the entire team.

**★★★★★ — Bill seneff, Jan. 2026**

> Working with the crew of Sticks And Bricks was the best experience in communication, professional conduct great and quick answers to questions.
>
> My wife and I say that it was the best experience we had in building a brand new house
>
> We highly recommend using JD and his crew. They are all great.

**★★★★★ — Bri D, Jan. 2026**

> Sticks and Bricks was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire project. Not only do they produce a beautiful product, but they ensure the quality met my expectations even a year later! I have been very pleased with the whole team and am thankful for all the memories to come in our beautiful home.

**★ — HU-362507540, Oct. 2024**

> Builder acts extremely nice, they do quality work. But they are never in time always late delayed and have reasons for the delays! Take the time frame and almost double it. They don’t have enough workers / sub contractors so their homes take much longer to build

**★★★★★ — heathernovak, Sept. 2022**

> Best general contractors in the southwest! I have nothing but respect for this team and would highly recommend them to anyone in the residential and commercial building process

**★★★★★ — Long Development Corp., Aug. 2020**

> We recently completed a new build in Paradise Valley, Arizona under the guidance of the guys over at Sticks and Bricks Development. S & B was there every step of the way to help us bring our dream to life and deliver high a quality product at a competitive price. When selecting a general contractor and/or development partner trust is paramount and we can say without a doubt S & B is at the top of the general contractor / development partner list in Arizona. Not only did S & B execute on what we designed as a team but they proactively helped value engineer the project in order to look out for the client's bottom line. Look no further than S & B as we have done the homework for you.

**★★★★★ — Arcadia Blue Design, April 2020**

> I have had the incredible opportunity to work with Sticks and Bricks on several jobs over the last 3 years.  I would give them the very highest recommendation possible for a general contractor.  I have worked with multiple contractors over the years and these guys set the bar as the best of the best.  It truly has been and honor and privilege to work with them.

**★★★★★ — Jeff M, Dec. 2018**

> Extraordinary - sums up JD and his team. Not only in design insight and the trades he brings to the project, but as an individual. JD is the by far the the most trustworthy person you can meet. I constantly hear the horror stories that people go through with GCs. With JD, I never had a moment that I felt uneasy with his ethics. In the end, my house was done under budget and on time.  JD has the intelligence and insight to take seemingly impossible concepts and turn them into reality.  Not a day goes by that we do not look at our house and feel incredibly thankful that we were lucky enough to have hired JD. There is nobody that I would consider recommending more than JD and Sticks & Bricks Development.

## Community Q&A

**Q: what are the countertops?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the counters, what color and brand are they?

A: arizona tile - calcutta umber honed

**Q: Floor Tile** *(in Photo Questions)*

The floor tile is terrific!  Where is it from, and porcelain/cement/ceramic? Thank you!

A: Cathy, this is Porcelain product from Arizona Tile called "cementing". It has the look of cement tile but you don't need to seal and it holds up better. Hope this helps. https://www.arizonatile.com/en/products/porcelain-and-ceramic/cementine-black-and-white
