Remodeling Older Homes of all Ages 

Metro Phoenix’s history is reflected in its diversity of housing styles.  In Phoenix and the surrounding cites of Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa, the population migrated to the suburbs as the city developed.  But now, distance and lack of convenience has caused a return to the city core and a renewed interest in its older homes. 

At Homework Remodels, we have always been most attracted to the unique nature of older homes.  The best part in working with these special homes is in working with their dedicated homeowners.  We are experts in kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels and home additions. We are also knowledgeable in all aspects of universal design, the art of making a home beautiful and accessible to all ages. There is nothing as enjoyable as collaborating on a remodel design with a person that loves their home and wants to customize their space while preserving the true nature of the home.

Centering in the downtown core of Phoenix’s historic neighborhoods, we have recreated historic looking kitchens, bathrooms, and additions.  Some were true replicas of the original, some added modern features while respecting the character of the original home.  We have an excellent relationship with the Historic Preservation Office and can handle all necessary permits for your historic remodel.

Working out from the city core, we have taken great pride in working with the growing community of people who love mid century modern homes.  These post WW2 homes were built looking forward to a brighter future.  Today homeowners are taking this to a higher level by adding artistic embellishments and bold colors to all aspects of the home and landscaping.   Many of their kitchens and bathrooms are beautifully embellished with the latest in glass and metal tile.  These homes are first in the use of open spaces, bringing the outside in, updating to state-of- the art fixtures and materials. 

And of course, Phoenix’s communities of ranch homes are not to be outdone in their scope of remodeling projects.  The older ranch homes lend themselves to a multitude of styles.  They can be made to please the homeowner who favors antiques, and the young professionals who love the state of the art in everyday living.

All of these ages and styles of homes are lacking in one major area.  They were built without any of today’s knowledge of how a home should operate as a system to minimize energy use and promote a healthier indoor environment.

As the only NARI Certified Green Professional  in Phoenix, we can help educate you in the many eco-friendly choices that can improve your home.  We believe that eco-remodeling does not have to cost more than any quality professional remodel.  As with any consumer choices, extremes can cost more, but well educated choices can make dollars and sense.

If you are ready to find out more about bringing your dream for your older home to life, we would love to help.  As a design/build remodeler we can design all projects such as kitchens, bathrooms, master suite additions and opening up rooms. You will want to start with our feasibility and design study.  During this phase we will work with you to understand your dream and see your vision.  We will design multiple floor plan options and develop the budget by itemizing necessary and optional choices for your custom project.  By starting with this preliminary design phase your dream remodel will more fully reflect your taste and lifestyle.  It will minimize confusion during the project and avoid costly surprises.  Learn more by visiting us at our website at Homework Remodels or email Steve at Steve@HomeworkRemodels.com
