Helping homeowners turn their visions into reality with confidence!

What We Handle as Your Tempe General Contractor
When Tempe homeowners take on a kitchen, bathroom, entertainment wall, or multi-room remodel, the general contractor role means managing every moving part, not just swinging a hammer. We handle design-build coordination so you are not the middleman between a separate designer and a construction crew.
On a typical project, we run the full scope of work through a single point of contact: in-house design and 3D rendering for kitchens and baths, trade coordination and project scheduling across all phases, material and fixture selections finalized before demolition, and a BuilderTrend portal so you can track the project from your phone. For Tempe homes from the 1970s through the early 2000s, that often means working around a slab foundation, routing plumbing changes during the design phase rather than mid-construction.

Each general contracting project begins with a full scope definition, trade coordination planning, and finalized material and specification selections before construction is scheduled. Defining project parameters, procurement timelines, and pricing before work begins reduces scope confusion and reactive decision-making during the build phase. A dedicated project manager coordinates all trades, maintains documentation, and provides structured communication updates throughout construction.
Tempe homeowners who work with a general contractor that defines scope, trade sequencing, and pricing before breaking ground typically experience fewer mid-project delays, more accurate final costs, and stronger overall project accountability.
Homeowners who resolve design, selections, and pricing before construction typically experience a fundamentally different project.

Recent General Contractor Project in Tempe
Eric's Tempe home needed work across four rooms. PHR handled the full scope under one design-build plan: a kitchen remodel with new cabinetry and countertops, an entertainment wall with a linear electric fireplace and tile surround, a guest bathroom update, and a laundry room with custom cabinetry and a utility sink. One project manager coordinated all trades from design through final walkthrough.

Remodeling in Tempe: What Affects Your Project
Most South Tempe homes were built between the 1970s and the early 1990s on slab foundations.
When a kitchen or bathroom remodel involves moving drain lines, that work goes through the slab.
We account for that in the design phase, not after demolition starts, so plumbing relocation is priced into the fixed-price proposal before any work is scheduled.
The Kyrene Corridor and Warner Ranch areas have a significant share of homes in HOA communities.
Interior remodels do not require HOA approval in most Tempe associations, but the planning-first process means material selections, layout changes, and the construction timeline are all locked in writing before the project starts, which avoids the back-and-forth that tends to stall projects in owner-occupied homes.

PHR has completed more than 500 remodeling projects across the Phoenix metro and carries 200-plus verified five-star reviews across Google and Houzz. Tempe homeowners rate the design-build process and fixed pricing as the two things that made their projects different from previous contractor experiences.
Why Tempe Homeowners Work With PHR Instead of a Traditional General Contractor
A traditional general contractor bids the job, hires subcontractors, and manages from a distance. The problem is that the bid happens before the full scope is defined, which is where price surprises originate.
PHR runs a design-build model where the full scope, material selections, and trade sequencing are locked in before construction is scheduled. The price you agree to at the end of the design phase is the price you pay.
There are no change orders for scope decisions that should have been made upfront.
Every project has a dedicated project manager who handles subcontractor coordination, maintains the BuilderTrend project portal, and provides structured communication updates throughout the build. You do not manage trades. You do not track down status updates.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Contractors in Tempe
What Makes Phoenix Home Remodeling Different From A General Contractor In Tempe?
Phoenix Home Remodeling is different because we use a planning-first design-build model instead of separating design from construction. Design first. Build second. All projects begin with a Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase so your scope, selections, drawings, and final price are set before construction begins. Tempe homeowners near ASU, Mill Avenue, Tempe Town Lake, and Kiwanis Park work with one coordinated team from concept to completion. That means no handoff between designer and contractor, and your dedicated project manager stays involved throughout the construction phase.
How Much Does Interior Remodeling Cost With A Tempe Design-Build Team?
Interior remodeling with Phoenix Home Remodeling starts at a project minimum of $15,000 and varies by room type, scope, and selections. Whole-home remodeling is typically $150K-$300K, kitchen remodeling is $50K-$100K, primary bathroom remodeling is $40K-$75K, guest bathroom remodeling is $18K-$25K, and shower remodeling is $15K-$40K. The final price is provided only after design and selections are complete, which helps create a defined scope before construction starts. This planning-first approach is useful for Tempe homes near Rural Road, McClintock Drive, Baseline Road, and Warner Road where layouts and finishes can vary widely by age and style.
How Long Does A Remodel Take After Design Is Complete?
A remodel typically takes 1.5-3 months for a whole-home project, 4-7 weeks for a kitchen, 5-7 weeks for a primary bathroom, 3-5 weeks for a guest bathroom, and 1-3 weeks for a shower. These are construction timelines after the planning and design phase is complete. Before construction, the Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase usually takes about 6-10 weeks. During that phase, Phoenix Home Remodeling develops the layout, 3D renderings, selections, and defined scope so your Tempe remodel can move into production with a clear plan and a dedicated project manager.
Do You Provide 3D Renderings Before Construction Begins?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling provides 3D renderings before construction begins so you can see your interior space before a single wall is touched. These renderings help you evaluate layout changes, cabinetry, shower design, kitchen flow, lighting locations, and finish combinations during the design phase. For Tempe homeowners, this is especially helpful in older homes near Maple-Ash, Broadmor, and Meyer Park where room dimensions and existing layouts may require thoughtful planning. The renderings are part of the 6-10 week Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase, and they support a more complete scope before the final price is set.
When Do I Receive The Final Price For My Remodel?
You receive the final price only after the design, scope, and selections are complete. Phoenix Home Remodeling uses fixed pricing for the construction agreement, based on the defined scope created during the Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase. That planning phase usually takes 6-10 weeks and includes layout decisions, finish selections, 3D renderings, and production preparation. This approach is designed to lock in the design and final price before construction begins, rather than asking you to approve construction with incomplete details. It also supports PHR’s low 2.1% change order rate.
Can Phoenix Home Remodeling Manage My Tempe Kitchen Remodel?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling can manage your Tempe kitchen remodel from planning and design through construction. Kitchen remodels typically range from $50K-$100K and construction usually takes 4-7 weeks after the design phase is complete. The process begins with evaluating your current kitchen layout, storage needs, appliance locations, lighting, surfaces, and finish selections. Then the team creates 3D renderings and a defined scope before the construction agreement is finalized. Whether your home is near South Tempe, The Lakes, or the area around Arizona Mills, the design-build structure keeps one team responsible for the full interior remodeling process.
Can You Remodel Bathrooms In Tempe Homes?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling remodels primary bathrooms, guest bathrooms, and showers in Tempe homes. Primary bathroom remodels are typically $40K-$75K and take 5-7 weeks of construction, while guest bathroom remodels are typically $18K-$25K and take 3-5 weeks. Shower remodels are typically $15K-$40K and take 1-3 weeks. Before construction begins, the design phase takes about 6-10 weeks and includes layout planning, selections, 3D renderings, and a defined scope. This process works well for Tempe homes with dated bathroom layouts, limited storage, or shower areas that need a more functional design.
What Is Included In The Feasibility Planning And Design Phase?
The Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase includes scope development, design direction, selections, 3D renderings, and preparation for a fixed construction price. This phase usually takes about 6-10 weeks and is the foundation of Phoenix Home Remodeling’s planning-first process. Instead of moving into construction with open-ended decisions, the team helps you make key choices before the build begins. For Tempe homeowners, that can include cabinet layouts, shower configurations, kitchen islands, lighting placement, tile patterns, surfaces, fixtures, and storage features. The goal is to create a complete plan before the construction schedule starts.
Will I Have A Dedicated Project Manager During Construction?
Yes, you will have a dedicated project manager during construction. The project manager coordinates the daily production schedule, trade partners, jobsite communication, and progress updates for your remodel. Phoenix Home Remodeling also provides a homeowner portal so you can follow important project details in one organized place. This is part of the design-build model, where one team manages the project from concept to completion. For Tempe homeowners balancing work, family, and activities around ASU, Tempe Marketplace, and Kiwanis Park, the project manager helps keep communication organized throughout the construction phase.
How Does The Homeowner Portal Help During A Remodel?
The homeowner portal helps by keeping key remodel communication and project information organized in one place. Phoenix Home Remodeling uses the portal to support updates, scheduling details, selections, and communication during the project. It works alongside your dedicated project manager, not as a replacement for personal guidance. During the 6-10 week design phase, the portal can help keep planning details accessible as your scope and selections develop. During construction, it helps you stay connected to the process whether your project is a 4-7 week kitchen, a 5-7 week primary bathroom, or a larger 1.5-3 month whole-home remodel.
Is Phoenix Home Remodeling Licensed For Interior Remodeling In Arizona?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling is licensed in Arizona under ROC 313636. The company serves interior remodeling clients in Tempe and nearby East Valley communities through a design-build process focused on planning before construction. PHR’s services include kitchens, bathrooms, showers, laundry rooms, entertainment walls, living rooms, and whole-home interior remodeling. The team does not separate the design experience from the construction experience, which helps keep the project organized under one company. Homeowners can also review completed projects and client experiences at phxhomeremodeling.com/remodel-clients/ when evaluating the company’s process and past work.
What Warranty Comes With A Phoenix Home Remodeling Project?
Phoenix Home Remodeling provides a 2-year warranty on its remodeling work. This warranty supports the company’s planning-first design-build process, which begins with a 6-10 week Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase before construction. During that phase, the team works through selections, layout details, and 3D renderings to create a defined scope before the final price is set. The warranty is part of a broader project experience that includes a dedicated project manager, homeowner portal, and one coordinated team from design through completion. PHR also has 200+ reviews from homeowners who have worked with the team.
Why Is The Change Order Rate Important For A Remodel?
The change order rate is important because it shows how often project scope or pricing changes after construction begins. Phoenix Home Remodeling has a 2.1% change order rate, supported by its planning-first design-build model. The team works through feasibility, design, selections, and 3D renderings before the construction agreement is finalized. This helps reduce avoidable changes because many decisions are handled before production starts. For Tempe homes with unique layouts near Mill Avenue, Alameda Drive, and Southern Avenue, detailed planning can make a meaningful difference in how well the construction phase follows the approved design and scope.
Can You Help With A Whole-Home Interior Remodel In Tempe?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling can help with whole-home interior remodeling in Tempe. Whole-home remodels are typically $150K-$300K and take about 1.5-3 months of construction after the 6-10 week planning and design phase. These projects may include kitchens, bathrooms, showers, laundry rooms, living areas, entertainment walls, flooring transitions, storage improvements, and interior layout updates. The design-build model is especially valuable for larger projects because one team manages the full process from concept to completion. The final price is provided only after design and selections are complete, giving the project a defined scope before construction starts.
Do You Offer Financing Information For Remodeling Projects?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling provides financing information through Hearth for homeowners who want to review payment options. You can learn more at phxhomeremodeling.com/financing/. Project costs depend on the room and scope, with kitchens typically at $50K-$100K, primary bathrooms at $40K-$75K, guest bathrooms at $18K-$25K, showers at $15K-$40K, and whole-home remodels at $150K-$300K. Financing conversations are separate from the design-build planning process, which still focuses on defining the scope, selections, renderings, and final construction price before work begins. The project minimum is $15,000.
How Do I Start Planning A Remodel With Phoenix Home Remodeling?
You can start planning by scheduling a consultation with Phoenix Home Remodeling at phxhomeremodeling.com/schedule-consultation/. The team will learn about your goals, the rooms you want to remodel, your desired scope, and whether the project is a fit for the design-build process. From there, qualified projects move into the Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase, which usually takes about 6-10 weeks. That phase includes design development, selections, 3D renderings, and preparation of a final price based on a defined scope. It is the first step toward a planned interior remodel in Tempe.

General Contractor or Design Build Company?
Most homeowners searching for a general contractor in Tempe are actually describing a broader role: someone who handles both the planning and the construction, not just the build phase.
A traditional general contractor receives a set of plans from a separate designer, bids the construction work, and manages subcontractors through the build. The problem with that model is the bid happens before everything is fully defined. Scope gaps get filled in during construction, which is when prices change.
A design-build contractor combines both roles under one roof. The design, material selections, and scope definition all happen before a construction price is issued. By the time you sign a construction agreement, the project is already planned, priced, and approved.
PHR operates as a design-build general contractor. The feasibility, planning, and design phase runs first. That phase produces 3D renderings, a defined scope of work, confirmed material selections, and a fixed construction price. Construction does not start until you have reviewed and approved everything.
The practical difference for Tempe homeowners: you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before any demolition begins. If you want to understand how the design-build model works in more detail, the process is laid out here: How Design-Build Protects You
What is the Design-Build Model?
With the design-build model, the design phase runs before the construction price is set. That means layout decisions, material selections, and trade sequencing are all resolved on paper before any demolition is scheduled.
The result is a construction agreement based on a fully defined project, not a rough estimate filled in with allowance items. What you approve at the end of the design phase is what gets built.
For Tempe homeowners, this changes how the project feels day to day. There is no version where a decision you thought was included turns out to be an extra. The scope is documented, the price is fixed, and the project manager runs the build against that plan.
PHR applies the design phase retainer toward the total project cost at the time the construction agreement is signed. The design phase deliverables, including 3D renderings, material selections, and a full scope of work document, belong to the homeowner regardless of whether construction moves forward with PHR.
