ABOUT US

For homeowners in the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale areas seeking a thoughtful, high-quality transformation of their living spaces, Homework Remodels offers a design-build approach grounded in experience, collaboration, and long-term value. Founded in 2005 by Steve Shinn, the company has built a reputation for translating client goals into beautifully executed homes through careful planning, clear communication, and uncompromising craftsmanship.

Much of our work comes through referrals from current and past clients—homeowners who value professionalism, guidance, and a remodeling experience that feels well-managed from start to finish. That trust reflects not only the quality of our finished projects, but also the way we help clients navigate the complexity of remodeling decisions with confidence.

Over the years, Homework Remodels has earned industry recognition and consistently strong client reviews for projects ranging from focused kitchen renovations to comprehensive luxury whole-home remodels across Phoenix and Scottsdale. These acknowledgments reinforce our commitment to doing the work the right way—thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with lasting results in mind.

To support homeowners even earlier in the process, we’ve also created our Core Guides—an educational framework that explains how remodeling really works, why common challenges arise, and how informed decisions made early can lead to clearer outcomes, fewer surprises, and greater long-term satisfaction.

Collaboration is more than a step in our process—it’s the foundation of a positive remodeling experience. A full home renovation represents a meaningful investment of time, energy, and resources, and we believe that investment deserves clarity, partnership, and trust from the very beginning.

From the start, we focus on open communication and active listening. We take the time to understand how you live, what matters most to you, and how your home needs to support both your daily routines and long-term goals. Design decisions are made together, with intention, so the finished space feels personal, functional, and enduring.

Whether we’re shaping the initial concept for a custom home in Phoenix or completing the final details of a premier whole-home remodel in Scottsdale, our clients have the reassurance that comes from working with a dedicated, attentive team. Our designers and master craftsmen bring deep experience to the table, but just as importantly, they care about guiding you thoughtfully through each phase of the process.

Questions are encouraged. Concerns are addressed early. Decisions are explained clearly, not rushed. That collaborative approach helps reduce uncertainty and keeps projects moving forward with confidence.

Across Phoenix and Scottsdale, our commitment to collaboration creates remodeling experiences that feel well-managed, respectful, and ultimately rewarding—resulting in homes our clients are proud to live in and enjoy for years to come.

Our commitment to excellence in residential remodeling across Phoenix and Scottsdale is guided by a clear set of values that inform how we work, how we serve our clients, and how we approach every decision. These principles are not slogans—they shape the experience we create and the results we deliver.

Our Mission

As a Christ-centered business serving Phoenix and Scottsdale, our mission is to enrich the lives of our clients and the communities we serve through distinctive home design and thoughtfully executed renovations. We believe our work should reflect care, integrity, and respect—for our clients, our team, and the spaces entrusted to us.

Our Core Values

Quality
We are unwavering in our commitment to craftsmanship and service. Every project is approached with care and attention to detail, ensuring work is completed efficiently without compromising integrity, durability, or long-term performance.

Integrity
Trust is foundational to a successful remodeling experience. We prioritize honest communication, transparency, and accountability in every interaction—with our clients, our trade partners, and one another.

Creativity
Each home presents unique opportunities. We apply creativity and innovation thoughtfully, developing solutions that respond to both practical needs and personal expression while respecting the character of each home.

Faith
Our Christ-centered values guide how we treat people and how we conduct business. We support a healthy balance between work, family, and service, fostering an ethical and supportive environment that benefits both our team and our clients.

Accountability
We hold ourselves to high standards and take responsibility for our work. Continuous learning, professional development, and clear ownership of outcomes allow us to consistently deliver results we stand behind.

Teamwork
Exceptional remodeling requires seamless collaboration. Our designers, craftsmen, and project teams work closely together, ensuring alignment, communication, and shared responsibility throughout every phase of a project.

How We Work: Clarity Before Construction

Successful remodeling doesn’t begin with demolition—it begins with understanding. Before plans are finalized or schedules are set, we focus on helping homeowners gain clarity around priorities, tradeoffs, and the decisions that shape the entire project.

Our approach is rooted in preparation, transparency, and thoughtful sequencing. We take time to explain how the process works, why certain choices matter, and how early decisions influence cost, timelines, and long-term outcomes—principles explored in more depth in our Pre-Construction Guide—an educational framework designed to help homeowners navigate remodeling with confidence, not pressure.

By grounding each project in shared understanding before construction begins, we’re able to collaborate more effectively, reduce surprises, and deliver remodeling experiences that feel intentional, well-managed, and aligned from start to finish.
