Business ProfileforArizona Elite Builders

10/2021 we contacted AZ Elite to for a remodel bid. During the process, we informed ***************************, that we had already selected our kitchen and bathroom slabs from AZ Tile. 4 slabs total. The slabs were being held for us, and we'd have a contractor take them for fabrication once we decided on a general contractor for the job, whether them or another GC. 12/2021, ** Tile told ** that there'd be a price increase on our ********** would need to purchase the slabs asap to keep the price. We asked ****** if he could facilitate the transfer of slabs & for a contractor discount from ** Tile. He sent ** an invoice, which we felt obliged to pay or else lose our carefully selected slabs. The stone total from AZ Tile's records was $16,938.44. We already paid $2,000 to hold them so the balance due was $14,938.44. AZ Elite priced the slab balance at $15,669. No discount. The invoice was for $21,914.25. ****** called a fabricator to procure the slabs and we were told the fabricator was ***** from Mayfair Direct. We had no part in arranging this. We called ***** in February to install kitchen counters. We told him throughout the entire process, no fewer than 3 times, to please save ALL cut-offs, even the smallest bit. He promised that he would. We are now finishing work on our bathroom, using the same slabs we purchased through ******. We found out ***** did NOT save any slab cutoffs and our entire bathroom design had to change to accommodate the remaining amount of marble. The remaining slab and damaged remnant were taken from ***** 2 weeks ago and we were told the several square feet of cutoffs were 'trash' and 'thrown out'. We emailed ****** to ask how they could make things right. I asked ****** why he charged us $6,244 and for them to refund the discrepancy. I was quickly shot down with 0 explanation for the cost and told that AZ Elite has no responsibility for the sub they hired and claim to have 'only made a referral'.
