New windows can be a great improvement to any home and has a lot of benefits. You could see your energy bill go down as well as gain a great noise reduction.

Taking out the damaged section and replace with a new section can often safe you from have to replace the floor in the entire room. it can be an easy fix. If a floor tile is broken and needs to be replaced it is not a problem, we can do that too.
Tile
Tile can break and/or come loose. It is important to spray the grout once a year to protect it from water. If you have not done so in years tile might come loose and fall down. Replacing broke or loose tile is an easy job and we are happy to do it.
Drywall
If you have had a leak change are that you will need to replace part of your drywall. Drywall is fairly easy to break and if something fall into the drywall and makes a hole in it you might need to do a small drywall repair. We will repair the drywall and match the existing finish so you can’t tell it was fixed.

Exterior paint faint in a few years and interior paint get dirty and dusty with time. Daily living might also cause the paint start flaking and get scrabes. Paint is a great way to freshen up the look of your home whether we are talking doing an exterior and/or doing the interior.

If you have a leak, it is important to get it fixed as soon as possible in order to prevent damage to framing and/or drywall or even worse, like the roof caving in.

Gutter/French Drain
The harsh sun here in Arizona causes havoc to everything exterior of the home. The gutter is no exception this slow decay. In the lifetime of your home, you will probably need to replace the gutters several times. We will remove the existing gutter and replace it with new gutter and make sure the down spouts drain the water away from the house. We can also install French drain and maybe even make a plant or tree benefit from the water.
Concrete
With remodels changing plumbing or electrical is sometimes needed. We will remove the old concrete, have everything prepared for the remodel and replace the concrete. Changing a brick patio to a concrete slab is also a common remodel.
Stucco
Sometimes an old house with wood paneling will need a facelift. Stucco can be a great way to do a facelift and at the same time protect the home and create more insulation. A brick wall may need a cosmetic help and adding stucco could be a great new look to a tired looking brick wall.
Masonry
A concrete wall or concrete slab can look boring. Chaning the concrete out with brick can add some texture to an otherwise blank surface. It might be time to change the live fence out with a more solid wall like a block wall. Creating a clean, solid and strong wall around your property or outdoor kitchen area.

Home Expansion
If your home is feeling tight and you really like where you live your best option might be to expand the current square footage of your home. Adding a living space, a master suite, children’s room/s, in-law suite or guest room/s might be enough to help you decide to stay in your current home.
Carport/Garage
The sun is really harsh here in southern Arizona. Having a carport or garage can significantly prolong the paintjob of your car. If you want a more secure space for your car you might want to have a garage. RV’s are becoming more popular and storing then can be mount to a huge expense. Having your own RV garage will lower that cost and give easy access to your RV when you want it.
S/He Cave
Are you having a hobby that your significant other doesn’t want to have in your home or are you just looking to have a space of your own then a S/he cave might be a perfect answer. Whether you want a wall to hang the huge TV, a workstation to do craft or a great seating area we can help get that special space for you.
Outdoor Living Space
Arizona is the perfect place to have an outdoor living space. A place for family and friends to hang out and enjoy a wonderful time together with conversations and games. We can help create a warm inviting space with all the amenities that you would want in a living space.
Fireplace/Fire Pit
Nothing says “hygge” like an open fire. Many great memories and stories are shared around a fire pit/fireplace. Best of all you can now have smores right there in your own back yard. We do traditional fire pits and fireplaces however we can also do a beehive fireplace.
Shade Structure
You have a perfect outdoors living space however the brutal sun of Southern Arizona makes it so you can’t enjoy the space as much as you want. We have the perfect solution. A pergola or shade structure (“shade tree”) or covered porch might be just what you were looking for, allowing you to spend time outside in perfect shade.
Outdoor Kitchen
Nothing tastes better than food cooked outside on open fire, the barbeque or in the pizza own. Make the dream of an outdoor kitchen a reality. We can make the kitchen as elaborate as you want it. You can have it all from a place to cook to the kitchen sink. We can even make a place for you to hang the TV.
Barbeque Area
You bought a great barbeque and after using it you found that you really needed a table to set your cooking utensils and food. We can build you that perfect barbeque area where you will have place to keep all the things you need for grilling. We can even make so you have a light above so grilling in the evening will not be a problem.
Screen Enclosure
The last couple of years we have had a longer and more intense monsoon season. This means more mosquitos and more flies. They can not only be annoying they can also bring disease. If you are ready to make sure those pests are not joining you during your outside time you should consider a screen enclosure. Take back the back yard and have a space for you and your family that is insect free.
Casitas
A casita is a place to have family and friends close yet giving them their own space, so they don’t feel encroaching on your space. Casitas can also be used to help out family or friends in need of a short-term place to stay. It could even be used as a AirB&B when not in use by family or friends.
In-Law Suite
If you or your significant other have elderly parent/s that needs a place to live close by then the best solution might be to add on an in-law suite. It can be built as a self-contained unit or as just an ensuite room. Having elderly parents close could be a great way to reelevate stress from a concern of health and a financial burden. Benefits of have the grandparents around is great for kids.
Guest Quarters
Like an in-law suite, guest quarters can be built as either a self-contained unit or as an ensuite room. This will give guests a place of their own, so they don’t feel they are encroaching on your home. It could also be used as a rental unit or roommate unit to help offset the cost of the mortgage.
