Custom Homes & Remodeling in Tempe
Good bones, great location, time for a change. 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 Tempe
Tempe is landlocked, which is the best thing that ever happened to its housing. There is nowhere new to build, so the 1960s and 1970s ranches around ASU, Kiwanis Park, and the Lakes get renovated instead of abandoned, and the neighborhoods keep their trees and their character. Our Tempe clients tend to love where they live and want the house to catch up. We remodeled one family's entire home while they, their stepdaughter, three dogs, and two cats lived through it. They said we treated it like our own. That is the Tempe job in a sentence.
What we see in Tempe homes
Tempe is almost all established neighborhoods: mid-century ranches and 1980s two-stories on mature lots, ideal for whole-house remodels, kitchen and bath updates, and additions. 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.
