Quartz Valley Drive, The Boulders Project

GW Custom Homes Remodeling Division started another project in The Boulders. This project has us gutting three bathrooms, remodeling an upstairs office, adding a new attached garage and a host of other misc. items including new cabinets, carpets and electrical.

This house was already an amazing property, located on the green of the second hole on the golf course. The home was built in the mid-1980's and is in remarkably good condition. The updates and additions we are performing for the owners will really make this home an incredibly property.

Below are current photos of the original condition and progress to date:

Carefree Drive Project - Framing Complete

With the heat in full effect the last couple of weeks, GW Custom Homes Remodeling Division just wrapped up the rough framing on the Carefree Drive project. The new great room, bar, kitchen and patios look fantastic! The rough mechanicals start this week and we're planing on drywall starting in the next two weeks. Looking forward to getting the backyard graded for the new pool and patio!

Here are some update photos taken this week.

Front Patio Framing - A new, larger front door and a pair of doors where the windows are will be added to the front patio. The columns will be wrapped with canterra stone columns.

Carefree Drive Addition

GW Custom Homes Remodeling Division started three new projects in Carefree within the last couple of months. Our pipeline for remodeling and addition projects remains strong and somehow we continue to gain new client business from the great referrals from past clients, local Realtors and the wonderful architects and designers that we work with.

The project on Carefree Drive consists of an addition to include a great room, wet bar and kitchen as well as adding a new powder room and enlarging the laundry room. We will also be building a pool & spa and adding hardsacpe and landscaping.

The owners hired us after their previous builder was not able to execute, so we had some clean-up items to deal with. Overall the plans needed some work before we could get started. The original plans didn't flow very well, so we engaged Architect, Tyler Green to assist with reworking the great room and patios. We have also engaged Ellen Harper of Harper Studios to help us with finish selections and design details. Ellen reworked the kitchen layout to include a large island that will enhance the space beyond the original expectations.

Please find below some before photos as well as progress to date. Look for additional progress photos in the near future.

Circle G Ranch - Tempe Residential Addition

Back in November of last year GW Custom Homes Remodeling Division embarked on a new addition & remodeling project for a repeat client in Circle G Ranch in Tempe. We had scheduled to complete the project in March, but the client needed us to move slower than we would have preferred to. Fortunately, this phase of the project is coming to completion and we will be starting a master bath addition as well as completing a full kitchen remodel in the coming months. Here are some before and "near-completion" photos. Enjoy!
