Home Renovation/Remodeling Process

Home Renovation/ Remodeling Process

As custom luxury home builders in Arizona, many people believe we only build luxury homes from the ground up. However, some of our favorite projects such as The Royal Chateau , are renovation projects! Our home renovation/ remodeling process is similar to that of a new build with some slight variations. The first step in this process is for our team to set up an initial meeting to get to know you as a person, and family. Such as your style, hopes, and requirements to re-design your dream home. Each home remodeling project is different and we completely tailor it to your family’s unique lifestyle.

Next, we will thoroughly explore which elements of the home are going to stay, and which our expert remodeling contractors will renovate. Thus, making sure to emphasize the home’s best features and altering those that could be better. Although we have no control over what was originally incorporated into a home, we do have total say over every facet of what goes into a home’s renovation. Bringing properties back to life from a formerly outdated state is what we’re all about and our team is never lacking in fresh inspiration. We travel the world to bring you some of the most breathtaking designs in Arizona, and the nation. Some of our clients are even international!

Approval is essential

After we’ve gained a thorough understanding of our client’s vision, hopes, and inspiration, we will begin to draw custom home renovation plans! Thus designing plans that will bring your home from dull to breathtaking. This is where designs come together from pen to paper and illustrate in 3D, to display what the remodel will achieve. For instance, rooms that we see go through renovation are kitchens, bedrooms, and entryways. Often, clients will choose to remodel the whole home in a way to change the style of the home. There are many design styles to choose from and endless ways to incorporate existing architecture. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we love our work and it shows, especially at this stage where our builders’ creativity is on display.

Finally, after the family has put a stamp of approval on every detail of their home’s renovation, we submit the plans to all appropriate agencies. At every step of the remodeling/renovation process, our luxury build team is involved to ensure the quality of work is being accomplished by our team and trades. Consistency and check-ins ensure that the remodeling process runs smoothly. The process does not end here, clients are family and we will assist you in figuring out which light switch turns on which light and ensuring the remodel is perfect!

Bespoke Wine Sanctuaries: Cellars, Glass Towers & Tasting Lounges Under One Roof

By Alexis Kesaris • June 4, 2025

Visualize welcoming friends into a softly lit lounge where a 600-bottle, climate-controlled cellar glows behind ultra-clear glass. A single tap on your phone lowers the temperature two degrees, LED ribbons spotlight a 1990 Château Latour, and the conversation shifts from market headlines to terroir. That experience, part theater, part craftsmanship, part investment vault, is driving the latest boom in luxury home wine sanctuaries. In 2025, serious collectors no longer hide vintages in a dusty basement; they showcase them at the very heart of the estate, turning storage into social space. Recent design reports even call the modern wine cellar a “jewel box” for the ultra-affluent, thanks to glass enclosures, app-controlled thermostats, and gallery-style lighting. But what transforms a mere storage room into a sanctuary worthy of your first-growth Bordeaux? Let’s uncork the essentials, backed by real Fratantoni projects and the latest industry data.

5 Red Flags to Watch Out for When Choosing a Design/Build Firm (And Why Discerning Homeowners Choose Fratantoni Luxury Estates)

By Alexis Kesaris • May 7, 2025

Building a custom home should be an experience marked by excitement, creativity, and complete trust in the team guiding you through it. But as we’ve seen time and again, placing your dream in the wrong hands can lead to disappointment, delays, and costly mistakes. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we’ve earned a reputation for building exceptional homes for discerning families across the nation. Many of our clients come to us after working with firms that didn’t meet their standards—and they’re often relieved to find the level of service, detail, and sophistication they expected from the start. Before you commit to a design/build firm, watch for these five red flags that could derail your custom home experience and discover how we intentionally do things differently. 1. Vague Proposals and Unrealistic Estimates If a proposal lacks clarity, feels overly “cookie-cutter,” or seems too low for the level of finishes you expect, take pause. Bespoke homes require bespoke planning. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our proposals are precise, detailed, and tailored to the scale and style of your estate. You’ll know exactly what’s include and what to expect so there are no surprises down the road. 2. Disconnected Teams and Outsourced Design When architecture, design, and construction are handled by different firms, communication gaps are inevitable—and those gaps show up in your finished home. Our in-house team of architects, designers, and builders work seamlessly together, ensuring a unified vision and flawless execution. This full-service model is how we create homes with harmony, balance, and timeless design integrity.
