Frequently Asked

The questions every Avondale homeowner asks first.

Licensing, permits, HOAs, ADUs, timelines, warranties — straight answers.

Are you licensed and insured to do remodeling work in Avondale?

Yes. Coker Construction is licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance.

Every subcontractor we bring onto an Avondale job is independently ROC-licensed in their trade and provides current certificates of insurance before work begins. We re-verify annually.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. The initial walkthrough and itemized written estimate are free. We aim to turn around a written estimate within 48 hours of the on-site visit.

How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel take?

Bathroom remodels typically run 3–6 weeks on site. Kitchen remodels typically run 4–8 weeks, depending on whether walls are coming down and how custom the cabinetry is. Permit timelines with the City of Avondale can add 1–3 weeks at the front for projects requiring them.

Do you handle City of Avondale permits?

Yes. We pull all required permits with the City of Avondale and coordinate inspections. Most kitchen and bathroom remodels involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require permits; cosmetic-only refreshes generally do not.

Can you work in HOAs like Garden Lakes, Coldwater Springs, or Rancho Santa Fe?

Yes. We're familiar with the architectural review processes in Garden Lakes, Crystal Gardens, Coldwater Springs, Rancho Santa Fe, Cambridge Estates, Fulton Estates, Palm Valley, and the other major HOA communities in Avondale.

We prepare and submit ARC packages as part of any exterior project.

Do you do whole-home remodels on older Avondale homes?

Yes. Older central Avondale homes — particularly in Old Town and the pre-late-90s neighborhoods — often make more sense to remodel whole-cloth than piece by piece.

We scope mechanical updates (panel, plumbing, HVAC) alongside finish updates so the result holds together architecturally and you're not paying twice for adjacent demo.

Do you build ADUs and casitas in Avondale?

Yes. We design, permit, and build detached ADUs and casitas across Avondale. As part of early scoping, we'll review your lot setbacks, HOA rules, and utility tie-in feasibility so you know what's possible before any commitment.

Do you handle single-trade work — just painting, flooring, or drywall repair?

Yes, though we have a project-size minimum. If you only need a single room painted or a small drywall patch, we may refer you out. For whole-home single-trade work, we take it on directly.

What ZIP codes do you serve in Avondale?

All Avondale ZIPs — 85323 (central / Old Town / Civic Center), 85392 (Garden Lakes, Rancho Santa Fe, Crystal Gardens area), and 85393 — plus the surrounding West Valley.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

We provide a one-year workmanship warranty on all Coker-managed remodeling and addition work. Manufacturer warranties on appliances, fixtures, and materials pass through to the homeowner at their published terms.

Do you provide design services or only construction?

We provide design consultation as part of the estimating process — layout suggestions, finish selections, and material sourcing. For larger or more architecturally complex projects, we coordinate with independent designers and architects you can work with directly.

Can I live in the house during a remodel?

For most remodels, yes. Bathroom and kitchen projects affect daily routines but rarely require moving out. Full-home remodels and large additions are case-by-case, and we'll be straight with you during scoping about what to expect.
