Where We Build
The whole Valley of the Sun, one neighborhood at a time.
Custom homes, kitchen and bath remodels, casitas, additions, and whole-house renovations across the Phoenix metro. Choose your city to see what we build there and why it is built a little differently.
A metro of very different places
People who have never lived here think the Phoenix metro is one big flat city. It is sixteen cities and towns with sixteen personalities: boulder-strewn hillsides in Carefree, one-acre estates in Paradise Valley, landlocked mid-century ranches in Tempe, horse property in Queen Creek, and master-planned family streets in Gilbert and Goodyear. The soils differ. The HOAs differ. The way the summer sun hits a west-facing kitchen differs.
Twenty-plus years of building across all of it means we do not arrive at your house with a template. We arrive knowing which inspector you will get, what your neighbors' additions look like, and what your lot will and will not allow. Pick your city below. Each page explains what we build there, links to the relevant services and portfolio collections, and, where we have one, lets a neighbor of yours do the talking.

Client Testimonials
The clients said it better than we could.
“With the care he gave us you would have thought he was working on his own home.”

“We were impressed when we first met Don Burns. He was very personable and had some great design ideas. We remodeled all but the 3 bedrooms in our home. We put new tile throughout, tore out a wall and a ceiling, new countertops and much, much more. We (my wife, stepdaughter and I, 3 dogs and 2 cats) were living in the home through this project. Don did his best to work around us and not displace us from the home more than he had to. Don did a magnificent job. With the care he gave us you would have thought he was working on his own home. It was the little touches that he did because he thought it would look better that way. Our home looks beautiful and my wife is thrilled with the results. The job was done on time and to budget.”

“We were very comfortable turning our home over to him while being in Minnesota.”

“Don Burns and Cactus Valley Homes completed renovation / additions of our entire home including the kitchen, family room, AZ room, study, hall bathroom etc. He also built a new addition for the master bedroom, master bathroom & closet. Don worked well with our MN based designer. Before bids were due Don brought his four main subcontractors (plumbing, electrical, HVAC & cabinetmaker) to our 40 year old house to review the work. We received several great ideas that were incorporated into the project. Our project included new flooring in all rooms, upgrading plumbing and electrical to code, new archway into AZ room, moving air handling to attic, expanding kitchen and adding island and new windows. Our project was completed on time - 10 weeks. We were kept well informed in MN with daily reports on work completed and people on site as well as weekly pictures of progress. We are very pleased with the final results and received good value for the cost. We would highly recommend Cactus Valley Homes for any remodel / repair work and would definitely use them again. They were particularly great to work with by long distance and we were very comfortable turning our home over to him while being in MN. It was an excellent experience and especially the outstanding workmanship that was provided. I would recommend his team to anyone!”
