Desert lots, custom homes, no two alike

Cave Creek is less uniform than most Valley towns. Tatum Ranch is a gated, master-planned community with larger newer homes. Rancho Manana is known for equestrian estates, some of them on multi-acre lots with no HOA. Rockaway Valley and other areas in the north have horse properties on acreage. The old town center along Cave Creek Road mixes small older buildings with newer builds. Because so many homes are custom, the roof and wall details differ house to house, and we look at each one instead of assuming.

Many Cave Creek parcels are not in an HOA, and the town's rules, a private community's rules or a deed restriction may govern instead. Some properties also use septic systems, which affects any bath or kitchen plumbing change. We ask these questions at the assessment so the plan does not hit a surprise after approval.

Custom homes here often have complex rooflines with multiple pitches, valleys and tile or metal, so one slow leak can have several possible sources. Stucco and block are common wall systems. Some estates have flat roof sections over patios and casitas. We trace leaks to the source before quoting.

Cave Creek sits at a higher elevation than central Phoenix, with desert foothills and washes that can run hard during monsoon storms. Wildlife and rocky terrain also affect access for crews. Summer heat is still severe, and sun on hillside lots with little shade is hard on exterior finishes.
