A Town in the Middle of Sustained East Valley Growth

One of the East Valley’s Fastest-Growing Communities

Gilbert is a town in Maricopa County, in the East Valley of the Phoenix metro, and for years it has been cited as one of the fastest-growing communities in the country. ABC15 has continued to report that East Valley communities, Gilbert among them, rank among the nation’s fastest-growing, and that growth has reshaped Gilbert from its agricultural roots into a large, affluent suburban town with a construction market to match. Where orchards and farmland once defined the landscape, today’s Gilbert supports steady demand for ground-up custom homes, whole-home renovations, and commercial construction, built by teams who understand both the pace of the market and the realities of building in the Sonoran Desert.

From our Arizona studio in Carefree, our team builds custom homes and manages renovations and commercial construction throughout Gilbert and the surrounding East Valley, applying the same design-build accountability — one team responsible for design, budget, and construction — that we bring to every Hickok Homes project, regardless of which market it’s built in.

Building Considerations in Gilbert

As Gilbert has grown into a large, affluent suburban town, demand has grown alongside it for genuinely custom construction — not just production-built subdivisions, but ground-up homes, significant additions, and whole-home remodels built to a higher standard of craftsmanship. We see that reflected in the range of projects we take on here, from a young family’s first custom home to a multi-decade renovation of a property that predates much of the surrounding development.

Gilbert’s growth has unfolded differently than some of its East Valley neighbors: large stretches of newer subdivisions sit alongside older agricultural-era homesteads and established neighborhoods, which means our projects here run the gamut from ground-up custom builds on newly developed lots to full renovations of homes built across earlier decades. A newer home typically needs less structural intervention during a remodel, while an older Gilbert property often calls for a closer look at existing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems before we finalize scope and budget.

Every project in Gilbert moves through Town of Gilbert permitting and, where applicable, Maricopa County review, and we manage that filing and inspection scheduling as part of the project rather than leaving it to the homeowner. Arizona’s hot-summer climate shapes material and design decisions as much as the floor plan: deep overhangs and covered outdoor living spaces keep west-facing glass livable through summer afternoons, while stone, steel, and UV-stable finishes are selected to hold up to sustained high heat rather than finishes borrowed from a milder climate. Desert-modern design — clean lines, large-format glazing, and warm natural materials — remains the strongest current design language for new construction and major remodels alike.

Beyond custom residential work, Hickok Homes also provides commercial general contracting, multifamily construction, apartment construction, and commercial roofing services in Gilbert and throughout the East Valley.

Gilbert — Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hickok Homes build custom homes in Gilbert?

Yes. We build ground-up custom homes and manage whole-home renovations and commercial construction throughout Gilbert, applying the same design-build accountability we bring to every market we build in.

Is Gilbert a strong market for custom home building and remodeling right now?

Yes. Gilbert has long been cited as one of the fastest-growing communities in the country, and ABC15 has continued to report that East Valley communities, including Gilbert, rank among the nation’s fastest-growing, which has translated into strong demand for custom construction and renovation here.

How long does it take to build a custom home in Gilbert?

Most fully custom homes in the area take 10 to 16 months to construct once permits are issued, depending on size, site conditions, and finish level.

Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect on a Gilbert project?

Yes. We partner with independent architects and designers, coordinating construction documents and permitting around a design already underway.

What areas near Gilbert does Hickok Homes serve?

In addition to Gilbert itself, we serve nearby East Valley communities including Chandler, Mesa, and Queen Creek, along with the greater Phoenix metro.

Does Hickok Homes handle permitting with the Town of Gilbert?

Yes. We coordinate directly with the Town of Gilbert’s building department and, where applicable, Maricopa County review, so permitting runs alongside construction rather than becoming a separate bottleneck.

Do you build in both newer subdivisions and Gilbert’s older, established neighborhoods?

Yes. Gilbert’s growth has left a mix of newer subdivisions and older agricultural-era neighborhoods, and we work in both, adjusting our approach to each property’s age and condition.

We provide commercial general contracting, commercial roofing, multifamily construction, and apartment construction services throughout Gilbert and the surrounding East Valley.

Is Hickok Homes experienced building in both Arizona and Kansas City climates?
