Kitchen remodeler in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale spans from the dense, walkable blocks of Old Town in the south to the wide desert lots of North Scottsdale and the Troon North corridor. South Scottsdale's housing stock has a median construction year around 1978, meaning a significant share of those homes are approaching or past the 40-year renovation threshold where kitchens, bathrooms, and cabinetry need full replacement rather than cosmetic updates. North Scottsdale carries newer builds in communities like McCormick Ranch and Kierland, where owners are replacing builder-grade finishes with custom cabinetry and upgraded countertops to match the surrounding property values. The range of property types, from compact Old Town condos to multi-acre estate lots, shapes the scope and complexity of every project.

Custom Cabinetry and Kitchen Upgrades Across Scottsdale's Property Range

South Scottsdale homes built in the 1970s and early 1980s often have original tile countertops, dark wood cabinetry, and closed kitchen layouts that were standard for that era. At this age, refinishing or repainting the existing cabinets is rarely the right answer because the box construction itself has degraded. A full cabinet replacement with new custom cabinetry built to the room's exact dimensions delivers better storage, a cleaner look, and a longer service life than patching what is already there.

North Scottsdale communities like McCormick Ranch and Kierland carry homes that were built more recently but still have builder-grade finishes that stand out against the surrounding custom properties. Owners in these neighborhoods are replacing stock cabinets with face-frame or frameless custom cabinetry, swapping laminate countertops for quartz or stone, and updating flooring to match. We handle the full kitchen remodel scope so the finished space reads as a single cohesive design rather than a series of individual upgrades.

Scottsdale's desert climate creates specific conditions that affect interior finish work. The low humidity and high summer temperatures cause wood products to expand and contract more than in cooler climates, which means cabinet construction and installation methods matter. We account for those movement patterns in how we build and install custom cabinetry, using materials and joinery that hold up in Arizona's thermal range rather than products designed for more temperate markets.

Every service, available in Scottsdale, AZ

Custom cabinetry and kitchen remodeling are the primary services in Scottsdale, where the gap between an unrenovated home and a fully updated one is reflected directly in resale value. Countertop installation is almost always part of the kitchen scope, with quartz and natural stone surfaces being the most common material choice in this market. For North Scottsdale properties with larger lots, home additions and casitas/ADUs are a practical way to add square footage that fits the scale of the existing structure.

After living in this house for over 20 yrs our kitchen needed to be brighter and more modern looking. Derek and his crew did an excellent job installing new counters, backsplash, and all the other upgrades we had envisioned. Great communication, prompt service and cleanup. We wouldn’t hesitate to contract with Modern Design Construction again for future remodeling!

Derek did a complete gut and reconstruction of our kitchen and breakfast nook and we couldn’t be happier with the final results. He helped take our nice track home kitchen and make it custom home worthy! Derek expanded our island giving us more room for appliances and entertaining, added brand new cabinets that were extended up to the ceiling. We also added a whole new row of cabinets in our breakfast nook. To tie the whole project together, he updated our fireplace and added a matching mantle. The results speak for itself and he did an amazing job!

I finally have my dream kitchen. I initially wanted just my peeling cabinets replaced. Derek from Modern Design Construction LLC sent a picture of an updated much roomier kitchen. From start to finish, the hardest thing I had to do was pick out colors, flooring, knobs, a faucet and stay out of the way. The plumber, electrician, painter and flooring people all did exceptionally work. I highly recommended Modern Design Construction LLC. I am very pleased with my new kitchen.

We highly recommend Derek for your next remodel project. Our project included a major Kitchen redesign, as well as tile and cabinetry in two Bathrooms. From our very first meeting with Derek, he brought creative design ideas to help us reimagine our our spaces to achieve the bright and open concept we were looking for. This was a large project requiring multiple trades which Derek sourced and managed. It all went very smoothly and through each step, Derek worked closely with us to ensure every small detail met our expectations. His suggestions for tweaks here and there resulted in not only beautiful ascetics but, the best possible function as well. Thank you for everything Derek; you are a fabulous craftsman and a great guy! — Lisa Rae & Tom

Derek is very professional and quickly responded to my issues with the plumbing install. I would definitely recommend his company.

Kitchen Remodeler FAQ for Scottsdale, AZ

Common questions from Scottsdale, AZ customers about our services, process, and coverage.

We offer full kitchen remodeling, custom cabinetry, countertop installation, flooring installation, and modern kitchen upgrades throughout Scottsdale. South Scottsdale's older homes often need a complete gut-and-rebuild of the kitchen, including new cabinet boxes, countertops, and flooring. North Scottsdale projects more commonly involve replacing builder-grade finishes with custom cabinetry and upgraded countertop materials to match the surrounding property values.

A kitchen remodel that involves custom cabinetry typically runs longer than one using stock cabinets because custom boxes are built to order for your specific space. The overall timeline depends on the scope: a countertop and cabinet replacement without structural changes moves faster than a project that opens walls, relocates plumbing, or requires a permit review cycle. We give you a project schedule at the estimate stage so you know what to expect before work begins.

Yes. Scottsdale's low humidity and extreme summer heat cause wood products to expand and contract more than in cooler, more humid climates. Cabinet boxes and face frames built without accounting for that movement can develop gaps, warped doors, and loose joints over time. We use construction methods and material selections suited to Arizona's thermal range, which extends the life of the finished cabinetry.
