Custom Homes & Remodeling in Phoenix

The city we are named after, and the one we know best. Custom builds, kitchen and bath remodels, casitas, additions, and whole-house renovations from a locally owned builder with forty-five years in the trade.

Building in Phoenix

Phoenix is a city of a thousand micro-neighborhoods: 1950s ranches in Arcadia with irrigated lawns, historic bungalows in Willo and Encanto-Palmcroft, hillside lots in the North Central corridor, and infill parcels near the Biltmore where the old house comes down and something worth keeping goes up. We have built and rebuilt in most of them. The soils shift from caliche to river-bottom sand in a single mile, the historic districts have opinions, and the summer is not a season so much as an opponent. Forty-five years here taught us how to work with all three.

What we see in Phoenix homes

Phoenix housing runs from 1920s bungalows to brand-new desert contemporaries, which means our Phoenix work runs from historic-sensitive renovations to ground-up custom homes on teardown lots. Whatever the starting point, the process is the same one we describe on our services page: pre-design through post-construction, one accountable name, written quotes that hold.
