Scottsdale, AZ's Experienced Bathroom & Kitchen Remodeling Professionals

These homeowners bought a house that was in good shape but needed a total remodel to bring it up to date and to be a home that fit them. There is no surface that went untouched, and the transformation is beautiful and to their taste, as you can see.

All of the cabinets were replaced with Bellmont cabinets, a frameless cabinet that has a lot of popularity now in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area. The countertop is a great contrast to the straight lines of the cabinetry. Look closely at the movement in it! It takes the eyes away from the straight lines and brings them to follow the beautiful natural beauty of the stone.

They are able to use some dark colors because they contrast it enough with light, and so as you step back and take in the whole house, it ties together so nicely.

These homeowners couldn't be happier with their new and beautiful home.

Jim & Donna in Scottsdale had a kitchen that was dated, dark and closed in. They wanted to open it up and make a brighter space that would be part of the living area. Originally there was a wall that separated the kitchen from the living room, and the refrigerator was set along that dividing wall. Also, in the kitchen there was a door to the patio. Directly on the other side of the wall separating the kitchen from the living room, there was a French door to that same patio.

We need to verify and ensure that the wall was not a supporting wall, and by removing it there would be no compromising the structure of the house and its tile roof. After knowing that this was not a structural wall, our designer was able to take Jim & Donna through the design process to plan their space.

By filling in the door in the kitchen, and removing the wall, we were able to open the space, bring the refrigerator to a more convenient spot in the working area of the kitchen, and create a nice, bright, open kitchen.

This Scottsdale couple came to TraVek Remodeling because they were wanting to remodel their bathrooms. They had lived there for 31 years and the bathrooms were all original. They wanted both the guest bath and the primary bathroom remodeled. Their wish was for everything to be taken out, and all new to be put in.

The colors were tired, and it did not hold the welcoming appeal that they wanted. It was dull, drab and dated, as you will see if you look at the Before/After photos. These Scottsdale homeowners were wanting an in-home spa, a place to enjoy and relax.

The layout did not change too much, but we did remove a corner Roman tub, and instead installed a center soaking tub just in front of the windows. The primary bathroom had a fiberglass shower insert with no extra frills or appeal. We removed that and put tile on the walls to the ceiling, added a couple niches for shampoos and soaps. We also added a huge bench for sitting on. The floor was tiled, as well. The original shower was just one shower head, and that was replaced with a nice, large shower head plus a handheld shower. The glass door and wall glass were replaced with new, taller panels and beautiful handles and hinges.

This bathroom has a nice his and her counter and cabinets. Many bathrooms have a double sink, but this one has counters and cabinetry on separate sides of the bathroom. The cabinets are Waypoint, and offer a lot more storage than the ones they originally had. With this layout, the makeup counter drops down from the rest of the counter, and extends further than it did previously because the tub was no longer taking up space in the corner.

It's the little details that add the pizzazz to the project. Notice the little legs on the bottom of the cabinets. They are not structural, but just a little added touch to bring a classier look and to help tie the look and style of the bathroom to the rest of the house.

We are happy to say the homeowners are delighted with the outcome of their bathroom remodel. In their words, "It's exactly what we hoped for...and more!"

Tamra and Sean had been in their home three years, and the DIY renovations to the kitchen the previous owners had done were quickly showing their wear. The previous owners had the kitchen cabinets painted white. Unfortunately, painting the cabinets is just a band-aid with only short-term benefits. They were ready to update their kitchen to last, but the layout was working just fine. This was the perfect kitchen for our 10-Day Kitchen Program! 

For homeowners that are looking to refresh their cabinets, counters, fixtures, and backsplash while keeping the floorplan of the kitchen the same, we can renovate in only 10 days! In fact, with our skilled workers, this kitchen (and additional laundry space) was finished in only 8!

These homeowners were tired of their dated and closed-off home that was stuck in the 70s. They knew drastic measures were needed to turn their house, which was in a wonderful community and location, into a home that could meet their needs long-term. The low, slanted ceilings, arched doorways, and multiple smaller living spaces created a challenge for how to best improve this home. 

The decision was made that to bring the new design to life and give the homeowners the home they were dreaming of, it would need to come down to the studs. The home had wings on both sides of the main living areas. Those stayed, but the center of the home was taken completely down so the roofline could be raised. 

As the center of the home was put back together, what began as four separated living spaces became two open, flowing rooms. This included a kitchen that opened into the dining and living area and a playroom for their grandkids. 

The higher ceilings came with modernized openings and the removal of the beehive fireplace. The homeowners have a son that is in a wheelchair. To accommodate his needs, we designed a dual-level kitchen island that has a higher section for working, and a lower level than he can pull right up to. 

StarMark Cabinetry lined the new kitchen, including tall cabinetry for pantry space.  

Diane of Scottsdale reached out to us after another contractor left her home torn apart and unfinished. The demo had all been done, but the company folded and Diane had been sorting through what to do for six months without a kitchen! In addition to the demo, a wall had been opened up into another room to create more space and flow, but the support beam installed was undersized and already showing signs of bowing under the pressure. This was an emergency in the making!

Diane reached out to TraVek and our Design experts, Thom Pitschke and Scott Raisanen were there to meet with her within the week and make a plan for what needed to be done. 

After making the decision to move forward, the real fun began. TraVek began analyzing the demo that had been done and the complicated puzzle that was the undone electrical. There were wires hanging everywhere with no sense of what went where. It is never easy being the second team on a site, it can be like a game of telephone trying to discern what came before us.

In spite of all challenges, TraVek was able to bring the long-awaited vision to life. A gorgeous, double island kitchen came together as the heart of the home, and everything else tied right into place. What could have been an endless nightmare was transformed into the Scottsdale Grayhawk kitchen of her dreams!
