Award-Winning Gainey Ranch Bathroom Remodel in Scottsdale, AZ
2016 NARI of Greater Phoenix Contractor of the Year

At Homework Remodels, we believe that every space has untapped potential—especially when guided by thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship. This was certainly true for the master bathroom in this Gainey Ranch home in Scottsdale, Arizona. What started as a dated and uninspired builder-grade space was completely transformed into a show-stopping retreat of elegance, comfort, and luxury. This remodeling project was so successful, in fact, that it earned us the 2016 Contractor of the Year Award from NARI of Greater Phoenix.

We are honored to share the details of this award-winning Gainey Ranch bathroom remodel and give you a behind-the-scenes look at how we elevated a standard bathroom into a luxurious sanctuary that perfectly reflects the sophistication of Scottsdale living.

The Design Vision: From Bland to Breathtaking

When our clients first reached out to us, they were eager to upgrade their master bathroom but weren’t sure where to begin. Their existing space, like many builder-grade bathrooms in Gainey Ranch and similar Scottsdale neighborhoods, lacked personality, functionality, and any sense of luxury. They wanted something more elegant, with lasting materials and refined aesthetics that would feel like a high-end spa retreat in their own home.

Our design-build team at Homework Remodels stepped in with a vision: take this dull, dated space and reimagine it with natural materials, upscale finishes, dramatic lighting, and a cohesive design language that honored the home’s architecture while introducing modern sophistication.

Material Choices That Elevate Every Surface

One of the first major upgrades in this luxury bathroom renovation was the use of natural stone throughout the space. We installed marble and granite on the floors, in the shower, and around the tub deck. These materials not only exude elegance but also offer durability and timeless appeal, perfect for homeowners in upscale Scottsdale communities like Gainey Ranch who expect both beauty and performance in their home upgrades.

  • Marble was selected for its soft veining and light-reflective qualities, helping to make the space feel airy and expansive.
  • Granite, with its rich coloration and bold patterning, added depth and contrast while standing up to the demands of everyday use.

Together, these high-end materials instantly set the tone for a luxurious bathroom remodel tailored to the Gainey Ranch lifestyle.

Custom Cabinetry: A Two-Tone Statement Piece

Cabinetry is often the anchor of a well-designed bathroom, and in this project, we knew it had to be special. We created custom two-tone cabinetry that served as both functional storage and a focal design element.

  • The upper cabinetry was finished in a crisp, elegant white, keeping the room bright and cohesive.
  • The lower cabinetry featured a warm wood tone, which grounded the space and added visual interest.

The contrast between these two tones complemented the stone surfaces and tied in beautifully with the rest of the bathroom’s finishes.

Elegant Lighting Enhances the Atmosphere

Lighting can make or break a luxury bathroom remodel, and in this project, we used it to create a balance of drama and comfort. At the heart of the room is a stunning chandelier suspended beneath twin skylights. This bold feature adds a sense of grandeur while flooding the space with natural light during the day and a romantic glow in the evening.

To enhance the mood further, we installed under-cabinet LED tape lighting that provides a soft ambient glow. This not only enhances nighttime usability but also contributes to the tranquil, spa-like feel that our clients requested.

Backsplash Beauty: A Metallic Faux Finish

While most of the bathroom’s finishes are classic and enduring, we added a touch of unexpected glamour with a metallic faux finish backsplash behind the sinks. This shimmering accent catches the light from both the chandelier and the under-cabinet lighting, creating a dynamic, reflective surface that draws the eye and adds a touch of modern artistry.

This design choice demonstrates our philosophy: great design is in the details, and the right detail can elevate an entire space.

Luxurious Bathing Experience: Jets and Multi-Head Showers

No luxury bathroom renovation is complete without a focus on the bathing experience. For this Gainey Ranch bathroom, we included both a jetted soaking tub and a multi-head shower system—two upgrades that offer relaxation, rejuvenation, and the feeling of a personal spa.

  • The jetted tub is perfect for soaking away the day in silence or with soft lighting from the chandelier above.
  • The custom shower features multiple shower heads, offering an immersive experience that can be tailored to any mood, whether it’s energizing in the morning or calming at night.

These features have become increasingly popular in our Scottsdale bathroom remodeling projects, particularly among clients seeking to enhance their wellness and self-care routines.

Toilet Room with Venetian Plaster Finish

Even the most utilitarian spaces deserve thoughtful design. In the private toilet room, we used a Venetian Plaster faux finish to add elegance and texture to the walls. This subtle touch brings continuity to the overall design, demonstrating that no corner was overlooked in this master bathroom transformation.

Why This Remodel Stands Out

What makes this particular project award-worthy isn’t just the beautiful materials or smart lighting—it’s the way everything works together to serve the homeowners. Every decision, from the layout to the lighting to the finishes, was made in collaboration with the client, which is a cornerstone of our design-build remodeling process here at Homework Remodels.

This project exemplifies how the design-build approach delivers excellence, efficiency, and clarity. Rather than hiring separate architects, designers, and contractors, the homeowners worked with one team from start to finish—ensuring clear communication, accountability, and a cohesive result.
