I was recently asked about replacing a few windows in a historic home in the Roosevelt neighborhood in central Phoenix. The homeowners want to be as accurate as possible in replacing the windows and remodeling their home. We may end up looking for reclaimed windows from another historic home, building our own windows using the traditional sash, pulleys and weights, or considering new windows.
Pella windows are most often used when the historic look of an all wood window is important without the historic mechanics. Most of the other major window companies offer wood windows with metal cladding on the outside for protection from the elements.
The Kolbe window company is one company that does offer an all wood historic style window that does use the traditional sash and pulley system. They build both single and double hung varieties and offer true divided lights rather than external grids. The following video gives a great introduction to their historic style windows.
This video was taken in the last days of our interior remodel in this north Scottsdale home. The video shows how the new faux finished walls complement the travertine flooring as well as the faux finished cabinetry throughout the home.
We're doing the final details on this major home remodel in Westbrook Village. We've done everything from adding on to the front of the home to totally remodeling the kitchen and both bathrooms.

Things are underway on our interior remodel in North Scottsdale.
Our flooring crew is doing a beautiful job on installing a beautiful travertine floor. The basic field tiles are installed and they are beginning to cut the edge tiles. I am looking forward to the installation of a large tile medallion in the entry area.
Our next video should have interesting details on our faux finishing work on the walls and cabinetry as well as other finishing touches on the kitchen and bathroom remodeling.
Watch for our next video update as we start to do custom faux finished on the walls, ceilings and cabinetry.
This is our latest update on the largest remodel ever in the Westbrook Village neighborhood in Peoria Arizona.
The addition on the front of the house is structurally finished. The roof tile is ready to reinstall after totally removing it to replace the waterproof underlayment. The custom kitchen cabinetry is installed in the enlarged kitchen, and we are moving forward on wall texture and will soon start the tile work for the bathroom remodels and the tile flooring throughout the home.
Watch for our next video, as our Westbrook Village remodel comes together with more finishing touches!
This kitchen would look great in any mid century modern home.

We are just starting this whole house remodel in north Scottsdale Arizona. Our homeowners just bought it and want to personalize it before they move their things into their new home.
The home is in great shape but lacks interior personality. Our work will include reconfiguring the fireplace, installing new flooring throughout, remodeling the master bathroom, installing all new solid core interior doors, and doing extensive faux finishing on most of the walls, ceilings and cabinetry.
Our goal of this remodel is to make the inside of the home have as much personality as it's beautiful neighborhood.
