Latitude 33 did an AMAZING job on our total kitchen remodel. I'm overwhelmed with how pretty it turned out! John is very professional and experienced, but he's also down to earth and easy to work with. His team was impressive, working with excellence and diligence, and as a mom of 7 it was a comfort to me that they all were very respectful of me and my children. We felt very safe and comfortable around his crew, which is important when there's such a time-consuming project going on in your home, and I have been recommending him highly.Shari Jones
So pleased with the work that Latitude 33 did!! We moved into a home with a niched wall that was popular in the 90’s but did not fit our plans today. The wall affected both the living room and the bedroom behind it. Latitude 33 removed the niches and put up new drywall in both rooms. This included moving switches and cables, plastering and painting both rooms to match, and re-tiling the part of the floor that the niches had covered. John (the owner) gave us a timely estimate that was reasonable and accurate. Luke (the foreman) worked with us on timing and was flexible with our schedule. Luke’s team of both employees and subcontractors did a fantastic job and were great to work with. They did everything they could to minimize the dust, and we were delighted with the final product.Robert Buns
We were having a hard time finding a contractor that we felt comfortable with until John came by to give us a quote. John made us feel at ease, answered all of our questions and he showed that he knows his stuff. We are pleased with the kitchen remodel work Latitude 33 completed and are enjoying our new kitchen. We will definitely be using Latitude 33 again in the future!Nathan Boberg
I contacted John and Latitude 33 for a conversion/remodel of my 1970s fireplace to an entertainment wall. John and his company were great throughout the process. I was most impressed with the craftsmanship and care of everyone involved in the project. Great experience; I would highly recommend.Charles Cahoy
Working with John Gittus was a pleasure. As with all construction projects, there were delays and mishaps, but what sets a contractor apart is what he does when the inevitable happens. That is where John showed his great character and integrity. He always communicated, kept us in the loop, and went the extra mile to make sure things were done to our approval. I cannot imagine having had a more successful project working with any other contractor.Dane P. - Dixon Golf, CFO
There is really nothing negative that I can say about John and Latitude 33 Contracting. From our first meeting I knew that they were the right choice. John has impeccable communication and customer service skills. John and his team exceeded our expectations at every turn. Not only were they on time, or ahead for most of our project they were respectful of our home and our design wishes, I would without hesitation John and his team again, and plan on using them for future projects. The workmanship of every contractor who worked on our home was flawless, they exceeded our expectations!Laura DeNigris
We have used Latitude 33 for various needs at our current house and our previous one. This company is always professional and gives a fair price for the work. Everything has always looked amazing and we feel very good about each contractor... they are professional and qualified and do quality work. We would recommend this company without hesitation. They know what looks good and have creative ideas that fit within the unique style of each home. My favorite job they did for us is re-doing our front porch because of a tree root that had up-rooted the foundation. We trusted them to solve the problem, and re-model in a way that was updated and looked best. They even added a light in the walkway to show people (at night) there was a step. We were so happy with the results!Robyn Kelly
We needed to extend our back patio. This required additional drainage for our roof and moving our landscape. The work was done in a timely fashion and the contractor was attentive and easy to reach. The work also needed to be completed for a party and it was completed and cleaned up as promised.Christy Cole
I am a Realtor/Property Manager in the Phoenix area. I contacted Latitude 33 Contracting to have a patio door replaced for a property I manage for an out-of-state owner. I received the utmost care and respect from the contractors who took care of my request, in a timely manner. The job was completed efficiently, between tenants, so I didn't have any down time when showing and leasing the property. I would highly recommend Latitude 33 for any of my clients, family, and friends.Karla Reichard-Hoffer
I had Latitude 33 demo my old sliding glass door that led to my backyard and install a new 3 door French door unit. The French doors are a custom size and they were able to get a great product that would fit great in my pre-existing cutout. They installed the doors, painted and finished with hardware and it looks great. I wanted to get rid of the hanging blinds that were on my old sliding glass doors and these French doors have built in blinds between two panes of glass. You can fully open/close the blinds and with the slide of a bar on the side of the glass you can completely roll up the blinds to have a clean/clear window view of the backyard!Andy Warner
