Construction & remodeling in Scottsdale

Old Town’s 1950s ranch stock and North Scottsdale’s HOA-governed communities are opposite problems. We handle both, including the paperwork.

About building in Scottsdale

Scottsdale has two construction climates and they barely acknowledge each other.

South of Indian School, the housing is mid-century — small, well-proportioned ranch homes with original block construction and floor plans that respond beautifully to being opened up. The constraint here is craftsmanship, because these houses reward precision and punish shortcuts visibly.

North of the 101, the constraint is governance. HOAs, design review committees, approved material and color palettes, construction hour restrictions, and in the hillside districts, genuine grading and disturbance rules. The work itself is often straightforward. Getting permission is the project.

We handle the submissions. An owner in a covenanted community should not be assembling their own design review package because their contractor found it inconvenient.

Permits in Scottsdale

The City of Scottsdale handles permitting and inspection, with additional design review in many communities and hillside districts. We manage both tracks, and we tell you up front when HOA approval — not plan review — is the item that will set your start date.

What Scottsdale calls us for

The work this community actually needs

Not a generic service list. These are the projects that come up here again and again, for reasons rooted in when and how the place was built.
  1. 01

    HOA and design review submissions

    Exterior paint, window replacement, additions and hardscape in covenanted communities. We prepare the submittal, respect the approved palette, and work within posted construction hours.

  2. 02

    Mid-century remodels in the Old Town ring

    Kitchens and bathrooms in 1950s and 60s block homes, plus wall removal to open compact plans — with engineering where a bearing condition is involved.

  3. 03

    Restaurant, retail and salon build-outs

    Old Town and the Waterfront corridor, phased around trading hours and coordinated directly with building management.

  4. 04

    Short-term rental turns and refreshes

    Scottsdale carries heavy short-term rental activity, which means frequent, fast, durable turns and repairs between guests rather than between tenants.
