Arcadia area in Scottsdale Arizona neighborhood remodel





Located near the Arizona Baltimore Fashion park, Fashion Square mall and Camelback Mountain you will find a treasure of neighborhoods. A Locality in Arizona where the families in the area are honored and the local home coming dance get’s top ranking on the Arcadia Daily website. No! this is not a small town in a rural area, this is in the heart of Arizona. 




 Money Magazine describes the Arcadia area as “highly regarded for its greenery and high-performance school, which are in the Scottsdale system” 
  
Neighborhoods such as the home pictured here are being revitalized, remodeled and updated.  The already picturesque neighborhood are updating the look of the home inside and out. Keeping the vegetation in tack the homes are painted on the outside and inside receives new cabinets, windows for energy efficiency and flooring. In some cases doorways are widened and sun rooms are completed adding additional space for families.

Watching the tragic news of Belle Harbor, New York on 60 min, the devastation that occurred from Hurricane Sandy is overwhelming to watch. I don't feel we can comprehend the struggle of their daily lives.
Yet, they are a community of family staying together in times of tragedy. Where a heroic man purchased extra generators on a credit card because he knew other families would need one to live. To learn more about the people of Belle Harbor go to http://www.cbsnews.com/60-minutes/ and watch the episode from 60 min. 

We don't see many of these communities anymore, at lease I didn't think we had. If you walk around the neighborhood of Arcadia you will see a community, one that looks after each other. When Knipp Contracting starts a project and our sign is in the yard we know neighbors are watching out for that home. We get calls when something just doesn't seam right with the home or just to say things are ok. We are grateful and honored they trust us and look out for their neighborhood.

Restaurants such as Postino Wine Cafe  where you can sit on the patio and have a panini or go next door to the La Grande Orange Grocery for a home made desert both are all staples of this close community.

Wally takes us through one of the recently remodeled home in the Arcadia area, let us know what you think. See our face book page for information other neighborhoods or questions about construction.

Ask Wally!  Any one can ask a construction question and Wally will answer it on face book or twitter.

Email us at sales@knippcontracting or face book to leave your question.

Will landscaping add value to my home?




Will landscaping add value to my home? It can add value by creating curb appeal. HGTV adds it to the list of 30 tips for increasing your home value 




Should we spend the Money for vacation or create an oasis in our own back yard.


Dukes in Maui 
We all want to get away from the hustle and bustle of work, the stress of getting up everyday doing the same thing over and over.
Even if you love what you do the stress of it all can get to you. We spend hours planning the perfect vacation, where we will go, where will we stay and how much will be spent when we arrive. Food, car rental, hotel and excursions can all add up. 

Many homeowners are choosing to stay home this summer and spend the money on creating a family retreat in their own backyard. This adds curb appeal and value to your home.





You can spend many months! with your family and friends enjoying Barbecues, family dinners and a little romance with your significant other. Vacations last one or two weeks.
