Project Spotlight: The Mertel Remodel

the mertel remodel

Transforming homes into dream spaces is at the heart of what we do at MGD Builders. The Mertel Remodel presented an extraordinary opportunity: a complete redesign and reconstruction of an existing home in the beautiful Paradise Valley, Arizona area. 

With the homeowner granting us creative freedom, we poured our expertise into modernizing this residence while preserving its unique character, culminating in a breathtaking Santa Barbara-inspired masterpiece.

The Mertel Remodel was a comprehensive and transformative project, involving a full reconstruction of the existing home while preserving key structural elements. Our team at MGD Builders carefully navigated the complexities of the renovation, blending the old with the new to create a modern and cohesive living space.

This full reconstruction brought a fresh, modern identity to the home while thoughtfully preserving and enhancing key elements, ensuring a seamless blend overall.

From Vision to Reality: the complete redesign of the Mertel home

Redesigning and modernizing the Mertel home required extensive work, combining architectural enhancements with thoughtful interior design. As trusted remodel contractors in Phoenix, we approached every detail with precision. The result is a home that seamlessly integrates functionality, comfort, and beauty.

Interior Renovation

Every detail of the home’s interior was reimagined to achieve a harmonious balance of form and function. New high-end finishes throughout the space brought a fresh aesthetic, while smart home integration introduced modern convenience. 

Key areas, such as the kitchen—now featuring a new butler’s pantry—and the office, were strategically relocated to create a seamless, intuitive flow that enhances daily living.

structural upgrades

We elevated the home’s design with raised ceilings, restructured rooflines, and a foundation-leveling plan that ensured a seamless floor height throughout. These thoughtful upgrades modernized the structure while fostering a sense of continuity, effortlessly connecting every space.

outdoor living

The outdoor spaces were transformed into a luxurious extension of the home, designed for relaxation and entertainment. This included a new heated pool and spa, multiple fire features, putting green, bocce ball court, and a thoughtfully landscaped cactus garden.

creative design features

Every design element was chosen to impress. Handmade terracotta roof tiles from Mexico, permanent programmable exterior lighting, and a striking 20-foot multi-slide pocket door for a bold indoor-outdoor transition.

enhanced functionality

Behind the beauty lies practicality. The home is now equipped with a robust propane service, state-of-the-art security systems, and an advanced active air makeup system, ensuring healthier cooking environments and peace of mind.

spaces to gather

Special attention was given to spaces designed to bring people together and make memories that last a lifetime. The tavern area, heated outdoor patio, and BBQ island became upgraded hubs of connection and relaxation.

Put it all together, and the result is a stunning example of home renovation in Phoenix, AZ, blending timeless elegance with innovative features that elevate everyday living.
