Hearth & Hone

Kitchen & bath remodeling in Scottsdale, Arizona

Every house has two rooms that tell the truth — the one where you cook, and the one where you begin the day. We build those.

The warm rooms

We design for the hour the light comes in — and for the twenty years the room stays after.

A kitchen and a bath are the two rooms a house cannot fake. One holds the fire and the gathering; the other holds the first quiet hour of the day. Everything we make is measured against those two moments.

We work in a short list of honest materials — limewash and plaster, honed marble and travertine, rifted oak and walnut, unlacquered brass left to age. No trend finishes, nothing that looks tired in five years.

The two rooms

Where the house tells the truth.

The bench

Custom cabinetry & millwork

Everything else is built to fit one house. Inset and frameless, paint-grade and walnut, drawn in the shop and installed to the sixteenth.

After eight o'clock

A kitchen has a second life after eight — one lamp, one pan, someone who couldn't sleep.

So we design the evening version of the room too: where the light falls when the overheads are off, how the stone reads under a single pendant, which brass catches it. A kitchen should be as good at midnight as it is at eight in the morning.

The build

Ten weeks, five acts.

You lend us a season; the room stays twenty years. Here is how the season goes.

01

Measure

We walk the house, measure to the sixteenth, open a wall or two, and find what the drawings never show — the settled floor, the abandoned chase, the load the wall is quietly carrying.

02

Draw

Plans, elevations, and a material board you can hold. Cabinetry drawn to the millimeter, stone slabs chosen off the actual bundle, every fixture specified before a single thing is ordered.

03

Strip

Protection down, the old room out. Pre-1990 homes get tested first — asbestos and poly-B are common in this valley and we will not surprise you with either mid-project.

04

Build

Rough-in, inspections, plaster, cabinetry, stone templating and set. The longest act, and the quietest — most weeks you will only hear it.

05

Finish

Hardware, lighting, the last coat of limewash, a punch list walked twice. We hand you a room that is done — not a room with a list still taped to the fridge.

Our work

Three rooms, three houses.

The word around the valley

★★★★★ 5.0 — thirty-one kitchens and baths across the Valley

★★★★★
They opened our 1958 galley into one room and it still feels like the house — not a showroom dropped into it. The green cabinets were their idea. They were right.

★★★★★
Eleven weeks, and the schedule they handed us in week one is the schedule that happened. In a remodel that is nearly unheard of.
Paul & Nina R. · Paradise ValleyJanuary 2026
★★★★★
They found poly-B piping behind the shower and dealt with it before it became our problem. That is the whole reason you hire a builder who has done these old homes.

★★★★★
The brass has aged exactly the way they said it would. A year in and it looks better than the day it went on.

★★★★★
We live in the house with two kids and they kept a working temporary kitchen the entire time. Small thing that turned out to be a very big thing.

★★★★★
Our primary bath is now the quietest room in the house. Travertine, one long window, and that deep tub. I begin every day in it.
