Home Remodeling Contractors in Scottsdale, AZ

Most interior and exterior remodels are possible, from a single bathroom to a full-house renovation. Common projects include kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, garage conversions, pool remodels and multi-room projects. What you can do on a given property depends on its zoning, any HOA rules, and, in the northern part of the city, the Environmentally Sensitive Lands overlay. Those are checked during planning.

There is no single number that fits every kitchen. Cost depends mostly on whether the layout changes, the cabinet type, the countertop material, appliances and how much plumbing, electrical and drywall work is involved. For a rough reference point, the Remodeling 2025 Cost vs. Value report lists an average Phoenix-area job cost of about $28,300 for its defined midrange minor kitchen project and about $158,000 for its defined upscale major kitchen project. Your project can land well outside those figures. Our kitchen cost guide explains what moves the number.

Bathroom costs swing with size, whether fixtures move, tile coverage, the shower or tub design and the vanity. Keeping plumbing where it is usually costs less than relocating it, because moving fixtures adds permit and plumbing work. A written scope with your chosen finishes is the only reliable way to price a specific bathroom. See our bathroom cost guide for the main cost drivers.

It depends on scope, design decisions, permit review, product lead times and inspections. A cosmetic update with no permit can move quickly, while a project that needs plan review adds review time before work starts. We give you a project-specific schedule once the scope and selections are settled, rather than a generic promise.

Often, yes. The City of Scottsdale says permits are required to move walls and to add electrical or plumbing features, while items like replacing cabinets and countertops, flooring and interior painting do not need a permit. Some trade work, such as replacing a water heater, uses a simpler "minimum" permit. Your exact project decides it, so check the city’s home improvement permit list or read our Scottsdale permit guide.

Yes. Combining rooms lets one design carry through the house and avoids opening walls twice. It also means one permit process where permits apply. The trade-off is more of the home is affected at once, so living arrangements need planning. See multi-room remodeling.

Start with how you will replace the parking and storage you lose, whether your HOA allows the change, and how the new room will be heated, cooled and insulated. Scottsdale lists garage conversions to livable space among the projects that go through its residential permit process. If the space will become a separate living unit, the city’s ADU rules also apply. Our garage conversion vs. remodeling guide walks through the decision.

Pool remodeling can mean resurfacing, new tile and coping, a new deck, updated equipment, or a change in shape or features. Scottsdale treats re-plastering as general maintenance with no permit, but new pool construction needs a pool permit and barrier rules apply. Larger changes are reviewed case by case.
