What we build
Four services, one licensed Arizona builder. Remodels, additions, ADUs and ground-up custom homes, each run by Mark Kelso from the first walkthrough to the day you get your keys.
Four lanes, one builder
Every project we take fits one of these four lanes. Same owner on site, same license on the wall, whichever one yours lands in.
Major remodels
Paint is a refresh. A major remodel changes how the house works. Walls move, plumbing and electrical get rerouted, and more than one room is open at a time. We run the whole job under one contract, from demo to the punch list.
- Kitchen, bath and whole home scopes
- Wall removals with engineered beams
- Electrical and plumbing brought up to code
- Permits and inspections handled for you
Home additions
A great room, a suite, a bigger kitchen footprint. An addition is new foundation, new framing and a new roof, tied into the original house so cleanly that nobody can point to the seam. That tie-in work is the whole craft, and it is ours.
- Great rooms, suites and office additions
- Foundation to roof under one contract
- Roofline, stucco and floor tie-ins that match
- Engineering and city permits included
ADUs & guest homes
A backyard casita for guests or family, an attached suite, or a garage turned into real living space. Arizona law now requires cities to allow ADUs on single family lots, so more Valley backyards qualify than ever. Local rules and HOAs still apply, and we check both before you spend a dollar.
- Detached casitas and attached suites
- Garage conversions done to code
- Kitchenette, bath and laundry in a tight footprint
- Utilities and separate entrances planned early
Custom homes
Nothing to tie into and everything to decide. We take custom builds from land feasibility through design, engineering, permits and the build itself, staged and inspected from footing to final walkthrough. One builder owns all of it, and he answers the phone.
- Land and feasibility read before you commit
- Design, engineering and permits managed
- Staged inspections at every milestone
- One contract, one builder, your keys
How big is your project, really?
Drag the slider from a weekend refresh to a ground-up build. Each rung changes what the job involves, how long it feels, and which of our services fits.
Paint, fixtures and finishes
New paint, flooring, counters, lighting, hardware. Nothing structural moves and the plumbing stays put. Straight answer: if this is the whole job, you may not need a general contractor. If it is step one of something bigger, it folds into a remodel scope.
Walls move, systems reroute
The kitchen opens to the living room. A bath doubles in size. A beam replaces a bearing wall and the trades follow in the right order, with inspections between. This is licensed contractor territory.
New square footage
You are not rearranging space, you are creating it. A room grafted onto the house, or a separate casita out back. New foundation, new roof, and tie-ins that have to read original from the street.
A new home, dirt to door
The longest runway of the four and the most decisions. Land, design, engineering, permits, then the build itself, staged and inspected from footing to final. One contract and one builder own every stage.
The same four phases, every time
Remodel or ground-up build, the rhythm does not change. Each phase ends with a checkpoint, so you always know where the job stands.
Walk & scope
Mark comes to you, walks the space or the lot, and writes a scope in plain English with a real number attached. Free, in person, no pressure.
Plan & price
Drawings, selections and engineering get locked before demo or dirt work. Decisions made on paper are the cheap kind.
Build & inspect
Structure first, then rough trades, then finishes, inspected at every required stage. You know what happens each week.
Walkthrough & keys
We walk the job with you and build the punch list together. We are done when the list is, not before.
Desert-smart building is not optional here
Valley summers run well past 110 and monsoon season, roughly mid June through September, brings dust and sideways rain. We sequence exterior work around the weather, detail roofs and drainage for it, and insulate like the power bill matters.

Not sure which lane you are in?
That is what the free consultation is for. Mark walks the space with you, talks through what is possible, and gives you a straight read on scope and budget.
