Luxury Home Additions Tailored to Phoenix & Scottsdale

Historic Compatibility Meets Desert Luxury

Adding square footage is one of the most effective ways to transform your home. But in the Phoenix metro, the design and construction process varies dramatically depending on where you live. In Phoenix, many additions are crafted for historic neighborhoods or mid-century ranches, where compatibility with original architecture is essential. In Scottsdale, additions often focus on luxury estates, golf-course homes, and HOA-regulated neighborhoods, where resale appeal and indoor-outdoor living drive decisions.

At Homework Remodels, we specialize in designing and building home additions tailored to each city’s unique character. Whether you need a guest casita in Phoenix’s Willo District or a two-story addition in McCormick Ranch, we bring vision, engineering, and craftsmanship together under one design-build system.

Phoenix Home Additions – Respecting History and Adding Function

Preserving Historic Character

Phoenix is home to neighborhoods such as Willo, Encanto-Palmcroft, F.Q. Story, and Arcadia Lite, where historic preservation is a top priority. Expanding these homes requires more than space — it demands sensitivity.

Scale and Proportion: We ensure additions match original roof pitches, window styles, and masonry details.
Historic Approvals: For designated districts, we prepare submittals that pass City of Phoenix preservation review while staying true to your vision.
Compatible Materials: Brick, stucco, or block finishes are carefully chosen to blend seamlessly.

Common Phoenix Additions

Primary Suites: Creating private retreats in older homes that originally had smaller bedrooms.
Family Rooms: Expanding kitchens into great rooms while adding space for gatherings.
Casitas/ADUs: Popular in central Phoenix for multi-generational living and rental opportunities.

Scottsdale Home Additions – Expanding Desert Estates

Larger Lots, Bigger Possibilities

Scottsdale neighborhoods such as Gainey Ranch, McCormick Ranch, Troon, and North Scottsdale offer wide parcels and mountain views. Additions here are often about maximizing luxury, resale, and connection to outdoor living.

Two-Story Additions: Popular in Scottsdale estates, adding square footage while framing mountain vistas.
Luxury Guest Houses: Casitas with full kitchens and spa baths for visiting family or long-term guests.
Outdoor Living Pavilions: Covered patios, kitchens, and integrated pool spaces that blur indoor and outdoor boundaries.

HOA Coordination

Unlike Phoenix, many Scottsdale additions require HOA approval before permits. We prepare detailed architectural packages to ensure HOA approval while maintaining your design goals.
