The Most In-Demand Renovation Market in Phoenix Requires the Right Interior Designer
Arcadia is unlike any other neighborhood in the Phoenix metro. Mature citrus groves, canopy streets, and homes set at the foot of Camelback Mountain create a setting that buyers pay a premium for and then invest heavily to transform. The renovation market here is extraordinarily active: buyers acquire existing homes and gut them completely, reconfigure floor plans, add square footage, and rebuild interiors to a standard the original construction never imagined.
As a licensed interior designer in Arcadia Phoenix AZ, Living with Lolo holds an Arizona General Contractor license (ROC #347577) alongside a full-service interior design practice. We handle every phase of an Arcadia renovation under one contract -- from structural work through final styling -- so you never have to coordinate between a designer and a separate contractor.
Named Best Interior Design by Phoenix Magazine three consecutive years: 2024, 2025, and 2026.
Who We Work With Here
Designed for the Arcadia Client
Arcadia attracts high-achieving buyers who recognized the value of the neighborhood early and moved fast: entrepreneurs who built businesses, athletes who chose Phoenix as their home base, and young families who want a primary residence that reflects how far they have come. They did not buy in Arcadia to accept a house as-is. They bought it to make it into something exceptional.
These clients want an interior designer in Arcadia Phoenix AZ who can handle everything: structural reconfigurations, full interior overhauls, and white-glove furnishings and installation. They are not interested in managing contractors, chasing timelines, or bridging the gap between a designer's vision and what actually gets built. That is exactly what Living with Lolo eliminates.

Our Differentiator
Arcadia Renovations Are Not Just About Design. They Are About Construction.
A full Arcadia gut renovation is a construction project first and a design project second. Walls move. Kitchens expand. Bathrooms get rebuilt from the studs. Outdoor living spaces get added. None of this can be handled by a designer alone, which means most Arcadia homeowners end up hiring a contractor separately, managing two relationships, and absorbing the cost of every miscommunication between them.
When you hire Living with Lolo as your interior designer in Arcadia Phoenix AZ, you get one team that designs your home and builds it. The vision never gets lost in translation because the same people who created it are the ones executing it.
Design Only
Designer specifies, contractor builds. Two teams, two contracts, and a communication gap that regularly produces budget overruns and missed timelines.
Living with Lolo
Design and construction under one contract. Licensed GC ROC #347577. One team from demolition through final styling. Full accountability throughout.
What We Can Do That Others Cannot
Pull permits with the City of Phoenix. Manage structural reconfigurations. Oversee licensed trades. Handle full gut renovations from demolition to installation.
The Client Experience
You make decisions on finishes and direction. We handle everything else. You return to a home that is exactly what you imagined, built and styled, ready to live in.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work specifically in Arcadia?
Yes. Living with Lolo works with homeowners throughout Arcadia and the surrounding neighborhoods. We are familiar with the renovation landscape here: the lot sizes, the permit process with the City of Phoenix, and the caliber of finish the Arcadia market demands. Arcadia is one of our most active areas for full gut renovations and whole-home redesigns.
Do I need a separate contractor for my Arcadia renovation?
No. As a licensed interior designer in Arcadia Phoenix AZ, Living with Lolo is also a licensed Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577). We handle both the design and the construction under one contract. This is especially valuable in Arcadia, where renovations almost always involve structural work: moving walls, reconfiguring kitchens and bathrooms, adding square footage, and rebuilding from the studs. You do not need two separate teams.
What does a luxury renovation in Arcadia typically cost?
Our Arcadia projects typically range from $300,000 to over $1 million across design fees, construction, furnishings, and installation. The investment depends on the scope of the renovation, the size of the home, and the level of finish. Full gut renovations on the higher end of Arcadia homes tend to sit in the $500,000 to $800,000 range. We are transparent about costs from the first conversation.
Can you handle a full gut renovation, not just interior decorating?
Yes, that is most of what we do in Arcadia. Our General Contractor license (ROC #347577) allows us to manage the full construction scope: demolition, structural modifications, mechanical and electrical, new finishes, and everything through final installation and styling. We are not a decorating firm. We are a full design-build firm that handles projects from the studs out.
How long does an Arcadia whole-home renovation take?
Most of our Arcadia whole-home renovations run 10 to 18 months from the initial discovery call through final installation and styling. The timeline depends on the scope of the structural work, City of Phoenix permit timelines, and lead times on custom materials and furnishings. We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins and manage every phase without requiring you to coordinate anything.
What makes Living with Lolo different from other interior designers in Arcadia?
Most interior designers working in Arcadia handle the visual side of a project and hand the construction off to a separate contractor. Living with Lolo holds a General Contractor license (ROC #347577), which means we manage both under one contract. There is no translation gap between what was designed and what gets built, no finger-pointing when something goes wrong, and no client stuck in the middle. We have also been named Best Interior Design by Phoenix Magazine three consecutive years: 2024, 2025, and 2026.
