Exterior remodeling in Cave Creek, AZ

Exterior remodeling on a Cave Creek desert lot

Cave Creek was founded in 1870 as a mining and ranching community, voted to incorporate in 1986, and in 2013 adopted the motto "Where the Wild West Lives." Its Desert Rural zones are meant to protect scenic vistas and natural features like hillsides and washes, and an owner with at least two acres in one can keep horses. Tonto National Forest lies to the north.

Many homes here are reached by private roads the town doesn't maintain. When you set up the estimate, tell us what the drive in is like, so the crew can plan where to park and set up the portable metal brake. If there's a gate code or a dog, mention that too.

Monsoon storms and the roof edge

The town sits higher than Phoenix, so it runs cooler, and it gets more rain than the low desert. The monsoon brings thunderstorms from July into September, and August is usually the wettest month. That water hits the roof edge first. On a tile roof, roofing work at the eave means drip cap and bird block; a wood fascia gets covered in aluminum (soffit and fascia). Wood gables or walls that take the weather can go under vinyl siding.

For a patio that looks out at the hills, aluminum shade, solid or lattice, won't need staining the way a wood ramada does (patio covers). If you're adding anything near brush, the town offers a free defensible space evaluation, and it's worth doing first.
