What’s Really at Stake
A remodel this size isn’t just a project. It’s your home, your daily life, and a big investment, all on the line at once.
So the questions that keep you up at night are fair ones:
- Can I actually trust this company with my home?
- Will the number I was quoted be the number I pay?
- Will everything be permitted and inspected properly, or will I find out about a problem two years from now?
- Can they hit a real deadline, like getting it done before the holidays?
Many of these fears stem from the fact that most remodels are handled by a patchwork of people: an architect here, a designer there, a general contractor who shows up when he can. Nobody owns the whole picture. And when nobody owns it, things fall through the cracks.
That’s the real villain in most remodels. Not bad intentions. Just too many hands and not enough accountability.
Meet Aaron & Danny
The Brothers Behind ArDan
Aaron and Danny Niemela started ArDan Construction when they were 21 and 20 years old, with nothing more than the work ethic their parents had instilled in them while they were growing up in Washington state. Eighteen years later, that same standard runs through every project
ArDan builds: show up, do what you said you’d do, and treat the home like it’s your own.
Today, ArDan is a 24-person design-build firm with NARI Certified Remodeling Designers on staff, a two-year workmanship warranty, and a reputation built on well over 100 five-star Google reviews. We may not be the biggest firm in Scottsdale, but we are the most accountable.

See It Before You Take Our Word For It
Our Work Speaks First
Anyone can tell you they do quality work. We’d rather show you.
How It Works
A Simple, Proven Process
Step 1: In-Home Consultation
We walk through your home, talk through your vision, and give you an honest read on budget and scope before you commit to anything.
Step 2: Feasibility and Design
Our in-house design team finalizes drawings, materials, and a real price, so there are no surprises once construction starts. You’ll even walk through your finished space in VR, including accurate sunlight, before a single wall comes down.
Step 3: Build & Warranty
Our team builds it, keeps you updated in real time through your project portal, and stands behind the work with a two-year warranty after the crew leaves.

Why Homeowners Choose ArDan

A two-year warranty that means it.
We're still here after the check clears.
The Life On The Other Side
House to Home
This isn’t really about a kitchen or a bathroom. It’s about the Thanksgiving you finally get to host. The morning coffee on a patio that actually gets used. The moment your family walks in and says, it’s good to be home.
That’s what we build toward. Not just a finished space, but a home you’re proud to live in for the next twenty years, not one you’re fixing again in two.
What Waiting Costs You
The Cost of the Wrong Contractor, or No Contractor at All
Every year you put this off is another year of living in a home that no longer quite fits your life.
And the risk of hiring the wrong firm is real: unpermitted work that surfaces during a future sale, a budget that quietly balloons mid-project, a timeline that drags a three-month job into nine. We’ve talked to homeowners who lived through it. It costs more in money, time, and stress than doing it right the first time ever would.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a luxury home remodeling general contractor in Scottsdale actually do differently from a standard contractor?
A luxury remodeling general contractor manages your entire project under one roof, from design through construction, with the staffing, certifications, and process to handle high-end finishes and complex scopes. At ArDan, that means a well-managed design firm or an in-house design team who are NARI-Certified Remodeling Designers. We often select an outside designer to fit the client and get them involved on the project. We hire them directly and manage the vision, but we use their skill set to select all materials and details, and we offer a two-year warranty on every project.
How much does luxury home remodeling cost in Scottsdale, AZ?
Most ArDan projects fall between $300,000 and $1.6 million, depending on scope. Smaller projects in the $25,000 to $100,000 range are handled on a limited basis. Every project starts with a feasibility phase, so you know real numbers before committing to a full design.
What is design-build remodeling, and why does it matter?
Design-build means one firm handles both the design and the construction of your project. There’s no separate architect or designer for you to hire and manage on your own, and no game of telephone between three parties trying to interpret the same vision differently. At ArDan, we hand-select the designer and architect, bring them onto your project directly, and make sure every piece works together from the very first sketch. That single point of accountability means fewer miscommunications, fewer delays, and a final result that actually matches what you designed, not a compromised version of it.
How long does a luxury remodel take in Scottsdale?
It depends on the scope. A single bathroom or kitchen remodel typically takes 8 to 12 weeks of construction. A full home remodel can take 6 months to a year. Add pre-construction planning, permitting, and material lead times, and the full timeline from first call to move-in can run several months longer. We lay out real timelines during your feasibility consultation.
Does ArDan handle permits and inspections for remodeling projects in Scottsdale?
Yes. Every ArDan project includes full permit research, application, and inspection through the City of Scottsdale or the surrounding municipality. This is handled during the design phase specifically to prevent budget or timeline surprises once construction begins.
Why does your firm separate your PCA (Pre-Construction Agreement) into 2 different phases, Feasibility and Design?
Some design-build firms skip straight to design and construction documents. We’ve seen what that shortcut costs homeowners: full designs, months of work, dreams fully drawn out on paper, that never actually got built because of an HOA restriction, a permitting issue, or a budget that didn’t match the vision until it was too late to adjust cheaply. Our solution is to ask you to commit to feasibility first, before you commit to full design. That phase gives you a preliminary design, real information from your HOA and the City on what’s actually permittable, and a preliminary cost estimate, all before you’ve paid for complete drafting and permit-ready plans. With that information in hand, you can make the big decisions on scope and direction early, when they’re still cheap and easy to adjust, instead of discovering a problem after the design is finished and the real money has already been spent.
