Our work · Phoenix

A century of houses in one city

Phoenix grew in waves, and you can read them in the houses. Bungalows and Period Revival homes went up close to downtown in the 1920s through 40s. Post-war ranch homes spread across Arcadia, Maryvale and central Phoenix in the 50s and 60s. Master-planned stucco neighborhoods followed in Ahwatukee, north Phoenix and Desert Ridge from the 80s on.

Each era has its own remodeling challenges. An older home may have plaster walls and original wiring behind them. A 1990s home is more about updating builder-grade finishes and awkward layouts. We plan around what your house actually is.

We’ve completed full home remodels in Phoenix, along with the kitchens and bathrooms shown on this site.

Homes in Phoenix

1920s–1940s

Historic bungalows & Period Revival

Willo, Encanto-Palmcroft, Coronado, F.Q. Story

Charming but often tight kitchens, a single original bathroom and older plumbing and electrical. Exterior changes in designated historic districts typically go through City of Phoenix historic preservation review.

1950s–1960s

Mid-century ranch homes

Arcadia, Maryvale, central Phoenix

Single-story block or brick homes with closed-off kitchens, low ceilings and small hall baths. Opening the kitchen to the living area is the classic upgrade.

1980s–2000s

Stucco tract & master-planned

Ahwatukee, north Phoenix, Desert Ridge

Vaulted ceilings, plant shelves, oak cabinets and tile counters. Good bones that usually need modern finishes, better lighting and more open kitchens.

Local guide

Remodeling a Phoenix home: what to know

Phoenix is a big city with a wide range of housing, and the right remodel depends a lot on when your home was built. Central Phoenix has early 1900s bungalows and Period Revival homes in neighborhoods like Willo, Encanto-Palmcroft and Coronado. Post-war ranch homes fill much of central and west Phoenix, Arcadia and Maryvale. Ahwatukee, Desert Ridge and north Phoenix are mostly 1980s through 2000s stucco homes in master-planned communities.

Older Phoenix homes are often slump block or brick on a concrete slab, with plaster walls and plumbing and electrical that may be decades old. Opening walls in a full kitchen or bathroom remodel is the right time to update those systems. Newer homes usually have sound systems and need finish upgrades: cabinets, counters, tile, flooring, lighting and paint.

The heat shapes how Phoenix homes are lived in. West-facing kitchens and living rooms run hot in the afternoon, so window placement, window quality and layout matter. Tile and porcelain flooring stay cool underfoot, which is part of why wood-look tile is so common in Valley remodels.

Permits in Phoenix come from the City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department. Cosmetic updates usually do not need one; moving walls, plumbing, gas or electrical generally does. If your home is in a designated historic district, exterior changes like windows and additions typically go through historic preservation review. Many Ahwatukee and north Phoenix neighborhoods also have HOAs with their own rules for exterior work.

FAQ

Remodeling in Phoenix: questions

Do I need a permit to remodel in Phoenix?
Cosmetic work like new cabinets, counters, tile and paint usually doesn’t need a permit. Moving walls, plumbing, gas or electrical generally does, through the City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department. We’ll tell you what your project needs at the estimate.
Can you remodel a home in a Phoenix historic district?
Yes. Interior remodels in historic districts like Willo or Encanto-Palmcroft work like any other home. Exterior changes, such as windows or additions, typically need City of Phoenix historic preservation review, so we plan that time into the schedule.
Which parts of Phoenix do you serve?
All of Phoenix, including Arcadia, Biltmore, North Central, the central historic districts, Ahwatukee, Desert Ridge, Moon Valley, Maryvale and Laveen.
Do you remodel homes in Ahwatukee?
Yes. Ahwatukee is part of Phoenix, and we remodel kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes there. Many Ahwatukee neighborhoods have HOAs, so exterior changes may need approval.
Is it worth remodeling an older Phoenix ranch home?
Often, yes. Many central Phoenix ranch homes sit in established neighborhoods on good lots. A full remodel that opens the kitchen, updates the bathrooms and replaces older systems can make them feel brand new without leaving the neighborhood.
