Home Remodeling in Tempe, AZ
Architect-led design and construction for Tempe homes. One licensed team designs the remodel, handles City of Tempe permits, and builds it, backed by a two-year workmanship warranty.
Remodeling for Tempe's older ranch homes and South Tempe builds
Much of central and north Tempe was built between the 1950s and 1980s. These ranch homes are solid, often block construction, but they typically have small kitchens, closed floor plans, and aging plumbing and electrical. South Tempe neighborhoods like Warner Ranch and Lakeshore are newer, with more space but dated finishes.
Older homes reward careful planning. Because Roman is trained as an architect, we assess structure and systems during design, so removing a wall or relocating a bathroom is priced and planned before construction starts, not discovered halfway through.

What to know before remodeling in Tempe
City of Tempe permits
Structural, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work requires a permit through the City of Tempe. We prepare the drawings and manage plan review and inspections.
Older homes and systems
Homes from the 1950s through 1970s can have original plumbing, undersized electrical panels, and block walls that affect layout changes. We plan for these during design, not after demolition.
Historic and HOA rules
Some older central Tempe neighborhoods carry historic designations, and many South Tempe communities have HOAs. Either can affect exterior changes and additions, so we confirm requirements up front.

Tempe remodeling FAQ
Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Tempe?
Most remodels that move walls or change plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems need a building permit from the City of Tempe. Cosmetic updates usually do not. We confirm permit scope during design and handle the process.
Can you open up walls in an older Tempe block home?
Often yes. Many interior walls can be removed or opened with the right structural design. We assess which walls are load-bearing during design and engineer the change before construction.
Do you work in South Tempe neighborhoods like Warner Ranch and The Lakes?
Yes. We remodel homes across Tempe, including The Lakes, Warner Ranch, Lakeshore, Kiwanis Park, Tempe Gardens, and Broadmor.
What does design-build mean for a Tempe remodel?
You work with one firm for design and construction. Roman is a trained architect and licensed general contractor, so one accountable team carries the project from first sketch to final walkthrough.
What warranty comes with a T26 remodel?
Every T26 project includes a two-year workmanship warranty.
