Arizona Service Areas

Blackstone Contracting is based in Peoria. Because this is home, the full range is on the table here — ground-up construction and major renovations through to repair calls and scheduled maintenance.

Glendale sits directly against Peoria, which makes it the closest market to the shop after home. The housing stock is older than the northwest Valley average, and the work reflects it.

Surprise is one of the fastest-growing cities in the northwest Valley, and a large share of its housing sits in active-adult communities where the renovation brief is its own category.

Anthem is a master-planned community in unincorporated Maricopa County, which means county permitting rather than a city building department, and community design review on top of it.

Mesa is the largest city in the East Valley and holds the widest range of housing age in the metro, from pre-war downtown blocks to recent construction on the eastern edge.

Chandler is a newer city with an employment corridor attached, which gives it both a maturing residential renovation market and steady commercial work.

Gilbert grew faster than almost anywhere in the country through the 1990s and 2000s, and that entire wave of housing is now hitting renovation age at the same time.

Paradise Valley is its own town with its own building department, one-acre minimum lots and hillside requirements on the mountain slopes. Projects here are estate-scale and the review is its own discipline.

Scottsdale is really two building markets. The south and central neighborhoods are a renovation market built on mid-century stock; the north is desert-lot custom construction. The work differs accordingly.

Arcadia is one of the most active renovation markets in the Valley: mid-century ranch homes on unusually large, often flood-irrigated lots, with a steady run of additions and full rebuilds.

North Scottsdale runs to large custom homes on desert parcels, much of it inside guard-gated communities with architectural review of their own. The work here is rarely small.

Cave Creek is low-density custom building on desert acreage. Larger parcels, more varied terrain, and site conditions that vary property to property rather than street to street.

Carefree is a small, low-density town built into boulder-strewn desert, where the terrain and the design guidelines shape a project as much as the brief does.

Fountain Hills is built across genuine elevation change, and the hillside lots that give the town its views are also what make building on them a structural exercise.
