What Is a Christ-Centered Business?
In a world where business is often driven by profit, prestige, or performance, a Christ-centered business chooses a different path—a path guided by purpose, humility, and a desire to honor God in all that it does.
At Homework Remodels, we believe that being Christ-centered is not a slogan—it’s the foundation of who we are. From how we treat clients and manage finances to the quality of our workmanship and our response to mistakes, our faith guides us. It doesn’t mean we’re perfect, but it does mean we’re intentional about honoring Christ in the way we conduct business.
As a design-build remodeling company in Phoenix, we’ve spent the past 20+ years renovating homes while staying true to the biblical values that inform our every decision.
Defining a Christ-Centered Business
So, what exactly is a Christ-centered business?
A Christ-centered business seeks to glorify God in its operations, relationships, and outcomes. It puts biblical principles above worldly success. It doesn’t separate faith from work—it integrates them.
Key characteristics include:
- Integrity over profit
- People over process
- Service over self
- Stewardship over excess
- Excellence as a form of worship
Every Christ-centered business is unique in how it embodies these values, but the common thread is a commitment to living out one’s faith in the marketplace.
How We Live This Out at Homework Remodels
We are proud to be a faith-driven business serving homeowners across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and Tempe. Here’s how our Christian values are expressed through our remodeling work:
-
Honesty and Integrity
We say what we mean and do what we say. That’s true in our contracts, pricing, timelines, and how we communicate with you throughout your renovation.
- No surprises or gimmicks
- Transparent estimates and change orders
- Clear contracts with realistic expectations
We believe in building trust through honesty—even when the truth is hard to hear.
-
Servant Leadership
As followers of Christ, we believe leadership is about service. That’s why we treat our clients with care, respect, and humility throughout every phase of their home remodel.
- We take time to listen and understand your goals
- We guide rather than push
- We treat your home and family with dignity
Every remodeling project is a chance to serve others with the heart of Christ.
-
Stewardship of Time, Talent, and Resources
We are stewards—not owners—of the time, finances, and materials entrusted to us. That means we use every resource with care and responsibility, always seeking to add value.
- Respect for your budget
- Efficient timelines and clear planning
- Responsible use of materials and labor
We honor God when we manage what we’ve been given with excellence and accountability.
-
Excellence in Craftsmanship
We see our work as more than construction—it’s a way to glorify God by building spaces that bless families and serve future generations.
- Detailed, thoughtful design
- Quality craftsmanship, never rushed or sloppy
- High-performance, long-lasting materials
As Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” That’s how we approach every home renovation.
-
Grace in Challenges
Even in the remodeling world, challenges arise—whether it’s supply chain issues, unexpected structural discoveries, or delays. When things don’t go according to plan, we respond with grace, humility, and a commitment to make things right.
- Clear communication in challenging moments
- Solutions, not excuses
- Patience and peace through uncertainty
Faith-based leadership means walking through trials with integrity, not panic.
Why This Matters to Our Clients
You don’t have to share our beliefs to appreciate the values we bring to every remodeling project.
Clients who work with Homework Remodels consistently tell us they feel:
- Heard and respected
- Informed and confident
- Encouraged and cared for
- Blessed by the experience, not just the result
In a competitive industry, our faith-based approach sets us apart. We’re not just here to renovate—we’re here to restore trust, elevate standards, and build spaces that nurture life.
What a Christ-Centered Business Is Not
Let’s be clear: being Christ-centered doesn’t mean we preach at clients or limit who we serve. We welcome people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
Here’s what we’re not:
- We’re not exclusive—we serve everyone with the same respect and dedication.
- We’re not perfect, but we own our mistakes and strive to improve.
- We’re not pushy—we offer solutions, not pressure tactics.
Our faith shows up in how we treat people, not in what we try to sell them.
The Heart Behind Homework Remodels
Steve Shinn, founder of Homework Remodels, began the company with a simple belief: that remodeling can be a high-integrity, purpose-driven service that genuinely improves lives. That mission continues today, as our Christ-centered team serves clients throughout Phoenix and beyond.
We see every project as an opportunity to:
- Help families love their homes again
- Build spaces for ministry, hospitality, and connection
- Honor God through quality work and ethical business
Whether we’re remodeling a kitchen in Arcadia, designing an aging-in-place bathroom in Tempe, or building an in-law suite in Chandler, we bring that same heart of purpose to every detail.
