Tempe – Open Concept Home Remodeling
In Tempe, homeowners are choosing to reimagine their spaces by embracing open concept home remodeling. Whether you live in The Lakes, Warner Ranch, or a mid-century home in Broadmor, opening up your floor plan offers a refreshing way to bring more light, flexibility, and comfort into your home.
At Homework Remodels, we specialize in thoughtful, design-driven transformations that enhance the flow and feel of your home. By removing walls, redesigning layouts, and updating finishes, we create open, connected living spaces that are both functional and beautiful.
Why Tempe Homeowners Love Open Concept Living
Make Room for Modern Living
Tempe homes, especially those built in the mid-to-late 20th century, often feature segmented layouts with narrow kitchens, formal dining rooms, and closed-off living areas. These traditional floor plans can feel limiting for today’s homeowners.
Open concept remodeling allows you to:
- Combine kitchen, living, and dining spaces into a single flowing environment
- Improve circulation and visibility
- Support entertaining, multitasking, and family-centered lifestyles
- Make smaller or awkward spaces feel larger and more welcoming
Whether you’re updating a forever home in Warner Ranch or opening up a historic layout in Broadmor, the goal is the same — clarity, comfort, and connection.
Let in the Light
Tempe boasts plenty of sunshine, but older interiors often block it out. Open layouts allow you to:
- Share light between formerly divided rooms
- Highlight views of patios, pools, or courtyards
- Create the illusion of more space, even without expanding your home
What’s Involved in Open Concept Home Remodeling?
Thoughtful Layout Design
Our design-build team starts with a personal consultation. We’ll walk your home together, identify opportunities for transformation, and develop a custom design plan to:
- Remove unnecessary walls
- Improve visibility and accessibility
- Maximize natural light and usable space
- Enhance the overall layout without compromising structural integrity
Wall Removal: Structural and Non-Structural
In many homes, removing interior walls is key to achieving an open floor plan. Sometimes these are simple partition walls. Other times, they’re load-bearing — requiring careful engineering and construction.
If structural wall removal is needed, we:
- Collaborate with licensed structural engineers
- Design safe and attractive alternatives like beams or columns
- Handle all permits with the City of Tempe
- Execute the work safely and seamlessly
