Scottsdale Expertise
Building for the North Valley
Scottsdale itself spans a wide range of building conditions, from dense, walkable Old Town lots to North Scottsdale’s larger desert-adjacent homesites near Pinnacle Peak, Troon North, and DC Ranch. Hillside grading, native-plant preservation rules near preserve-adjacent land, HOA design review in many North Scottsdale communities, and drainage planning for monsoon season all factor into a realistic project timeline, and we walk every client through which of these apply to their specific lot before construction begins.
Arizona’s climate shapes every material choice as much as the floor plan. Deep overhangs and covered outdoor rooms keep west-facing glass livable through summer afternoons, while stone, steel, and board-formed concrete hold up to UV exposure far better than materials borrowed from a four-season market. Getting drainage and site grading right before the first wall goes up matters just as much during monsoon season as it does for a basement excavation in Kansas City.
Beyond custom residential work, Hickok Homes also provides commercial general contracting, multifamily construction, apartment construction, and commercial roofing services in Scottsdale and the North Valley.

Scottsdale — Frequently Asked Questions
Can I build on a sloped lot in Scottsdale?
Many Scottsdale lots have hillside or drainage constraints. A site review helps determine grading, foundation design, access and applicable city approvals before plans are finalized.
Do Scottsdale custom homes need HOA approval?
Some neighborhoods require architectural review in addition to city permits. Check the community rules early so design and construction schedules account for them.
Can Hickok Homes remodel an existing Scottsdale home?
Hickok Homes offers custom home building and renovation services in the Scottsdale area. The scope depends on the property’s condition and your goals.
What should I prepare before a custom home consultation?
Bring your lot address if you have one, inspiration photos, your preferred rooms and features, a preliminary budget and a target move-in timeframe.
Can I incorporate energy-efficient features into a Scottsdale home?
Yes. Discuss insulation, high-performance glazing, shading, efficient cooling and other desert-appropriate design choices during early planning.
Is Hickok Homes a Scottsdale-based custom home builder?
Yes. Hickok Homes maintains a dedicated Arizona office at 1852 Century Way in Carefree, just north of Scottsdale, and our Scottsdale-based team builds custom homes and handles renovations throughout Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the surrounding North Valley communities.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Scottsdale?
Most fully custom homes in the Scottsdale area take 10 to 16 months to construct once permits are issued, depending on size, site conditions, and finish level.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Scottsdale?
Because every custom home is unique, shaped by lot condition, square footage, and finish level, we do not quote a fixed cost-per-square-foot figure before understanding your specific project. The most useful first step is a feasibility conversation about your lot.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect on a Scottsdale project?
Yes. While many of our Scottsdale clients come to us for full design-build service, we also partner with independent architects and designers, coordinating construction documents, structural engineering, and permitting around a design that is already underway.
Does Hickok Homes handle both new construction and remodeling in Scottsdale?
Yes. Our Scottsdale-based team builds ground-up custom homes and also handles whole-home remodeling, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and home additions throughout Scottsdale and Paradise Valley.
