Services, Glendale.

What we build, and what we coordinate.

Coker is a general contractor. We own the schedule and the result, and we bring a network of licensed trade subs to handle the work that needs their stamp. In Glendale, that scope spans more than a century of housing.

On kitchens.

Kitchen Remodels

Glendale kitchens span an unusual range. A Catlin Court bungalow kitchen is a small, character-rich room where the right call is often a restoration with quality finishes, not a wall removal. A 1970s Northern Horizon kitchen is the opposite — closed off, dated, and exactly where opening to the living area changes the whole house. And an Arrowhead Ranch kitchen typically has the architecture right but builder-grade finishes owners want to take up a level.

A full Coker kitchen typically covers layout decisions, new cabinetry and countertops, tile or stone backsplash, electrical for under-cabinet lighting and pendant runs, plumbing for sink and gas line relocations, and full appliance installation.

Typical scope:

  • Layout and demo
  • Cabinetry & islands
  • Quartz, granite, butcher block
  • Tile backsplash and full walls
  • Lighting and outlets
  • Plumbing relocations
  • Appliance installation
  • Flooring throughout

On bathrooms.

Bathroom Remodels

From a tile-and-vanity refresh to a primary suite reconfigured around a freestanding tub and curbless walk-in shower. The constants on every Glendale bath: full waterproofing, proper slope and drain, ventilation sized for AZ humidity swings, and finish work that survives daily use.

Common ask in Glendale: opening up secondary baths for aging-in-place, particularly in the Catlin Court and Northfield districts where owners are doing long-term-stay updates.

Typical scope:

  • Demo and waterproofing
  • Shower pans & full tile
  • Vanities, mirrors, lighting
  • Plumbing rough-ins
  • Heated floors (optional)
  • Ventilation and electrical
  • Glass and finish hardware

Typical timeline · three to six weeks

On historic homes.

Historic & Bungalow Renovations

Catlin Court and the nine other Glendale National Register districts ask a contractor to think differently. The job isn't to make an old home look new — it's to restore what was beautiful about it originally while bringing electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation into the modern era. Different priorities, different finish decisions, different inspection considerations.

We respect the architectural language of the period — Craftsman, Spanish Eclectic, mid-century ranch — and we know which details are worth preserving versus replacing.

Typical scope:

  • Sympathetic interior reworks
  • Period-appropriate finishes
  • Electrical & panel modernization
  • Repipe (lead/galvanized → copper or PEX)
  • HVAC retrofit
  • Insulation upgrade
  • Roof and stucco repair

Timeline varies — scope-dependent

On whole-home remodels.

Whole-Home Remodels

Glendale's 1970s–90s tract inventory — central neighborhoods, parts of Glendale Gardens, Northern Horizon — often makes more sense to remodel whole-cloth than to chip away room by room. The cost premium for combined demo and rebuild is smaller than people expect, and the result holds together architecturally in a way piecemeal updates never do.

Typical scope on these: outdated electrical panels, polybutylene plumbing, original AC ductwork that hasn't kept up. We sequence mechanical updates alongside finish updates so you're not paying twice for adjacent demo.

Typical scope:

  • Layout changes & demo
  • Electrical & panel updates
  • Plumbing & repiping
  • HVAC system replacement
  • Drywall & texture
  • Flooring throughout
  • Cabinetry & finishes
  • Exterior refresh

On adding square footage.

Additions, ADUs & Garage Conversions

Three ways to add usable space. Garage conversions are the fastest — you're working inside an existing slab and shell. Additions give more freedom but bring foundation, structural, and roofline work into the picture. ADUs are detached and require their own site plan, but unlock the largest gain on lots with the room.

We handle all three, including engineering, City of Glendale permits, and inspection coordination.

Typical scope:

  • Engineering & permits
  • Foundation (additions/ADUs)
  • Framing & mechanicals
  • Exterior match-finish
  • Insulation & HVAC tie-in
  • Full interior buildout

Conversions · six to ten weeks · Additions · four to eight months
