When it's 100 degrees perhaps you can't be outside as much, but you can bring the outside in. We were able to enlarge several patio doors and windows on this project to bring in more light and beautiful scenery. Not all upscale renovations have to be complicated. Avoid heavy frames and window boarders so as not to impede your view. You want your eye to be drawn to the beauty outdoors and not the frame.

This contemporary backyard installation was part of the scope for Paradise Valley renovation. If you are planning a landscape project as part of your renovation never assume it can be totally "separate' from your house project. You can often save time, money and a lot of headache by planning them at the same time even if they are not done at the same time. For example fences may need to come down temporarily, landscape may need to be moved or it may be unintentionally damaged during a house reno, you may need to enhance plumbing or electrical for a landscape project that could be handled during the house portion of the reno. Planning ahead=fewer surprises and happier clients.

Achieving the "right" roof design is crucial to ensure that it complements and does not detract from your home’s architectural style. A mismatched or "cookie-cutter" roof can look out of place and disrupt the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. A sophisticated and elegant roof like the one on this Arcadia Plantation Chic enhances curb appeal, increases property value and creates a cohesive look that further enhances the property’s character.

Putting a “hat” on a house is a necessity, but creating a roof that seriously elevates the appearance of a home is not often a priority. The skill required to create an interesting, sophisticated and “wow” worthy roofline like this is steeped in years of intense training and experience.  Gr...

How would you like to honestly be looking forward to guests arriving? What about having a home office that you can actually get some work done without interruptions or finding yourself loading the dishwasher instead of finishing your client proposals? Detached guest houses/home offices are still one of the hottest housing trends and show no signs of slowing down. Check your lot coverage rules and set backs with you local city planning department because if you are looking to renovate to get more space, this could be your answer...and it goes without saying that this move will seriously boost your property value!

Rice is not just for dinner! Are we taking green building materials too far? Not in our opinion----we specified Acre Siding made of rice husks on this Flagstaff Forest Highlands new build. RICE HUSKS become beautiful building material with benefits...no special tools needed---you can nail or drill with regular tools, no primer required, no harmful dust and no plastic look or smell! Click below to see two upclose applications. And if you are doing a new build or reno ask your architect/builder for green building material suggestions.

The Flagstaff Mountain retreat is humming along to completion and in theme with the beautiful surroundings the siding is a unique product made from rice hulls.  Acre siding certainly looks like wood and was stained with a rich charcoal grey to complement the natural Canyon Rubble stone from Solstic...
