I hired Alan Anderson and Arlington Custom Homes for an extensive remodel and was thrilled with how it turned out. Not only did the finished home end up better than I imagined, but the bid was lower than competitors, they finished on time and there were no surprises along the way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to build/remodel. You won't be disappointed

When we decided it was time to remodel our kitchen, laundry room and bar area we started by looking at appliances. The salesman referred us to Arlington Custom Builders and owner, Alan Anderson. Alan and his wife Brenda met with us at our convenience in our home. We expressed what we wanted and they made it a reality. Brenda's design talent and experience guided us in the right direction and Alan and his team of subcontractors brought the vision to fruition. Alan discussed with us daily on every phase of the process so there were no surprises.
His team of subcontractors were on time and very respectful of our home. We love our new kitchen, functional laundry room and bar area and looking forward to our next project with Alan. We highly recommend Arlington Custom builders. It is a pleasure working with Alan and Brenda. We are sure you would agree.

My wife and I hired Arlington Custom Builders to renovate a foreclosure home we purchased in Desert Mountain. Alan and all of his subcontractors did an outstanding job. They completely transformed our home. The renovation included the addition of an elevator, new flooring throughout, new appliances and accompanying cabinetry, transforming a bathroom into a complete handicap accessible bathroom, new French doors across the entire back of the home, Custom built in bar, and refinished garage with cabinetry and countertops. I cant say enough good things about Alan and his workers. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to my friends. Thank you Alan for transforming our house into a home.

We have employed the services of Arlington Custom Builders on two occasions. In the first remodel, a load bearing wall was removed between the kitchen and the family room. New windows were installed and travertine floors were laid in the main living areas of our home. In the second remodel, the master bathroom was gutted and completely done over. The results were outstanding!
