Master Bath Remodel / Carefree, AZ

GW Custom Homes is putting the finishing touches on a master bath remodel for the new owners of a home in Carefree. The house on Stagecoach Pass is nearly 30 years old. Prior to the current owners purchasing the house, the previous owners had added an attached guest house. Other than this new addition, the house was in original condition and was showing it's age.

In early August, the homeowner contacted GW Custom Homes via our website indicating that they were moving from New York to the house in Carefree this October. He indicated that they were interested in having the master bath remodeled and wanted it completed prior to their moving in.

The team at GW Custom Homes Remodeling Division went to work and quickly prepared a budget for this project. The owner agreed to travel from New York to Carefree to make all of the necessary selections for the project and finalize the scope of work. By the end of August, the owners had finalized the project scope, completed the selections and signed a contract for GW Custom Homes to complete the work. It was understood that their moving truck would be arriving the last week of October and the house needed to be ready to move into.

The project was completed the third week of October, inclusive of add-ons that the owner had requested and a complete electrical service change which was necessary to bring the house up to code.

Below are photos of the original condition as well as update photos from the second week of October. Final photos will follow next week.
