Scottsdale Neighborhoods We Serve
Scottsdale isn't one market, and the right materials differ by area. The city's median home was built in 1991 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Of its homes, 58% were built between 1970 and 1999. RDC serves every part of Scottsdale from the Bell Road showroom, so in-home estimates and sample visits are easy to schedule.

- Old Town & South Scottsdale: in an older home here, LVP or porcelain replacing original tile and carpet changes the house the most per dollar.
- McCormick Ranch & Gainey Ranch: established golf-course communities where whole-home flooring replacement and bathroom rebuilds come up.
- DC Ranch & Grayhawk: if your community has HOA design standards, RDC's written, itemized quotes and material specs make design-review submissions straightforward.
- Silverleaf & the North Scottsdale foothills: luxury and custom homes, for which RDC supplies and installs wide-plank engineered European oak, large-format porcelain and natural stone.
- Kierland & Scottsdale Airpark area: for a townhome or a rental, waterproof LVP is a practical choice for owners and investors.
- Vacation and seasonal homes citywide: RDC can work while owners are away, with progress photos at each step.

The RDC Client Experience
A Scottsdale project can be an Old Town condo, a North Scottsdale custom home, or a second home that sits empty half the year. Whichever it is, the finish matters and so does how the work is run and reported. This is the process every project follows.
- Showroom and samples. It starts at the Bell Road showroom, where you compare full-size materials side by side in real light rather than from a photo.
- Site visit and measure. RDC comes to the house, measures, and checks what moves a price: slab flatness, moisture, and what sits under the existing floor.
- Written itemized proposal. One document covering material, removal, prep and installation, with nothing left to "we'll see on site."
- Scheduling. Dates agreed in advance, sequenced around an occupied home, a part-time resident's calendar, or a builder's program.
- One point of contact. You deal with RDC throughout, from the estimate to the final walkthrough. You always know who to call.
- Updates with photos. Progress, what is next, and anything that needs a decision, with photos for owners who are out of state.
- Final walkthrough and punch list. RDC walks the finished work with you and closes every item on a written punch list before the job is called done.
- 1-year workmanship warranty. In writing, on top of the manufacturer's material warranties.
The standard on site
- Access and working hours agreed before the first day, not negotiated on it.
- Any change to scope priced and approved in writing before the work happens.
Working with a designer, Realtor, or builder? Interior designers, Realtors and contractors in Phoenix and Scottsdale refer work to RDC.
RDC installs to a designer's spec and keeps a single point of contact for the trade. It holds to the schedule the rest of the project depends on. If you are specifying RDC on a client's home, call (602) 788-1446 and ask for a trade walkthrough.
The Materials North Scottsdale Homes Choose
For higher-end Scottsdale homes, RDC recommends a short list of surfaces, chosen for how they read in big, light-filled rooms:
- Wide-plank engineered oak: the warm, natural wood look in an engineered construction made for slab homes. See the engineered hardwood guide.
- Large-format porcelain: fewer grout lines across open floor plans, and exterior-rated versions can carry the floor from the great room out to the patio. Details in the porcelain & ceramic tile guide.
- Marble, quartzite & natural stone: for primary baths, fireplace surrounds and countertops, sealed at installation. Compare options in the natural stone guide.
- Quartz & slab surfaces: non-porous and easy to live with, templated and installed with seam placement planned before anything is cut.
Tile and LVP Flooring in Scottsdale, AZ
Tile installation in Scottsdale, AZ and luxury vinyl plank are the two floors RDC is asked about here. In RDC's experience, the room settles the choice more than taste does. Large-format porcelain carries an open plan without breaking it into grout lines every few inches. LVP flooring in Scottsdale is waterproof, warmer underfoot and quieter, which suits bedrooms, second stories and rentals.
Many homes end up with both. A common RDC layout is large-format porcelain through the entry, kitchen and great room, and LVP through bedrooms and a bonus room.
What decides whether that floor still looks right years later is the slab underneath it. RDC checks the slab before anything is set. Moisture testing and grinding or filling to ASTM guidelines are done where needed and written into the estimate.

The City of Scottsdale's 2026 Water Quality Report lists approximate hardness of 13 to 15 grains per gallon south of Indian School Road. North of it, the figure is 13 to 17. So RDC uses epoxy or professionally sealed grout in wet areas as standard practice. Full Scottsdale flooring detail, prices and installers are on the Scottsdale flooring installation page.
Can You Put Hard Flooring in a Scottsdale Condo or Townhome?
Yes, when the underlayment meets your association's standard. The International Building Code sets STC 50 and IIC 50 between dwelling units, and RDC specs an underlayment that meets your association's rule. The product and its rating go on the written estimate, so you have something to submit.
The rules land differently depending on the house. In a detached home with HOA design standards, the association may want the material and finish submitted and approved before work starts. In an attached home, a townhome or a casita over a garage, the issue is impact sound. If your home is in an HOA, the CC&Rs may require written approval before carpet is replaced with a hard floor.
The International Building Code baseline applies between dwelling units in multi-resident buildings, and hard flooring transmits footfall in a way carpet did not. The exact number is set by your association, not by the city, so the real answer is in your CC&Rs. If an attached home has no stated standard, RDC still recommends a rated acoustic underlayment. A single-family home may have no sound requirement, but its HOA may still require approval for anything visible from the street.
Bathrooms in a Scottsdale Home Renovation
A bathroom in a Scottsdale renovation can start in one of two places. One is a tub surround whose waterproofing has failed behind the tile. The other is a bathroom that works but looks like the year it was built. Both end up the same way: the tile comes off, the waterproofing goes in, and the room is rebuilt.
RDC builds tile showers on a bonded waterproofing membrane (Schluter KERDI or RedGard) rather than fitting an acrylic or solid-surface liner. Tub-to-shower conversions, curbless walk-in showers, tile to the ceiling, niches and glass are all part of the same scope. Plumbing rough-in is coordinated through licensed plumbing partners.
Scottsdale bathroom costs, the week-by-week timeline and the questions to ask every bid are on the Scottsdale bathroom remodeling page. The Valley-wide figures are in the bathroom remodel cost guide.
Whole-Home Renovation in Scottsdale
The projects RDC is built for are the ones that touch the whole house at once. The ideal version is a Scottsdale homeowner who has just bought and wants the flooring, bathrooms and kitchen surfaces done before the furniture arrives. The house is empty, the trades can be sequenced freely, and one crew carries one floor through every room.
That scope covers flooring throughout, tile showers and full bathrooms, countertops and backsplash, and stair treads; baseboard is quoted as its own line. Kitchen cabinets are never part of it; in a full bathroom remodel RDC supplies the vanity cabinet with its top, sink and faucets. Structural work, such as moving a wall, goes through a licensed subcontractor RDC works with. If your cabinets are sound, new countertops, backsplash and flooring change the room without a full kitchen tear-out.
Two things make a whole-home renovation in Scottsdale run differently from a single room. The first is sequencing: floors go in after the wet work and before the baseboard, and getting that order wrong means redoing work. The second is design review: if your community has HOA design standards, RDC's itemized proposal lists the product specs a submission needs.
How Much Does a Whole-Home Renovation Cost in Scottsdale?
A whole-home renovation in Scottsdale with RDC Renovation & Design Concepts starts at about $24,000. That covers 1,500 sq ft of LVP plus two small bathrooms. Large-format porcelain and larger bathroom scopes raise the total. Countertops are additional, and final pricing is set individually for each customer.
| Flooring area and bathrooms | Flooring | Bathrooms | Starting total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 sq ft of flooring, 2 small bathrooms | LVP 1,500 × $4–$9 = $6,000–$13,500; large-format porcelain 1,500 × $12–$22 = $18,000–$33,000 | 2 × from $9,000 = from $18,000 | from $24,000 |
| 2,000 sq ft of flooring, 2 small bathrooms | LVP $8,000–$18,000; large-format porcelain $24,000–$44,000 | from $18,000 | from $26,000 |
| 2,750 sq ft of flooring, 2 small bathrooms + 1 primary | LVP $11,000–$24,750; large-format porcelain $33,000–$60,500 | from $18,000 + primary from $18,000 = from $36,000 | from $47,000 |
Starting totals use LVP throughout and RDC's starting bathroom prices. Removal of old flooring ($3 to $5 per sq ft) and slab prep ($1 to $4 per sq ft) are listed separately when needed. Countertops are additional. Final pricing is set individually for each customer based on their specific project.

What Separates a Quality Job From a Cheap Bid
If you are collecting estimates in Scottsdale you have probably noticed the spread. Compare what each bid includes, line by line. These are the five lines worth checking on every quote you receive, from anyone.
- Is slab preparation in the scope, or an extra? An older slab may need grinding, filling and moisture testing to ASTM guidelines before a new floor goes down. RDC writes it into the estimate instead of discovering it on day one.
- Is the shower waterproofed with a bonded membrane, or a liner? RDC builds tile showers on a bonded waterproofing membrane. A liner system is faster and cheaper, and it covers the substrate rather than sealing it. The difference shows up years later, behind the tile.
- What grout, given Scottsdale's hard water? Epoxy or professionally sealed grout is RDC's standard, not an upgrade line.
- Who is your point of contact? Ask who you call during the job. At RDC it is one contact from the estimate to the final walkthrough, and every change is priced in writing first.
- Is the estimate itemized? Material, removal, prep and installation as separate lines, in writing, before anything starts. A single lump sum is where the surprises live.
None of this makes RDC the cheapest quote in Scottsdale, and it is not meant to. It is written down so you can hold every bid you receive to the same five questions.
Everything starts at the Bell Road showroom, where you compare full-size materials side by side in real light rather than from a phone screen. For a house-sized project RDC brings samples to the home as well. A stone that reads warm under showroom light can read gray in a north-facing great room.
Countertops in Scottsdale
RDC installs quartz, granite, quartzite and porcelain slab countertops in Scottsdale, and seals natural stone at installation. Slabs are chosen in person at the Bell Road showroom rather than from a sample. Veining changes across a full slab, and an island shows all of it. Full detail is on the countertop installation page.
What Surfaces Cost in Scottsdale
Installed pricing in Scottsdale is the same as anywhere else RDC works. What moves the total is scale, material selection, and how much slab preparation the floor needs, not the zip code.
| Material | Installed, per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Carpet (bedrooms, stairs) | $3 – $7 |
| Luxury vinyl plank | $4 – $9 |
| Porcelain / ceramic tile | $7 – $18 |
| Large-format porcelain (24x48 in and larger) | $12 – $22 |
| Engineered hardwood | $8 – $16 |
| Quartz countertops | $50 – $120 |
| Granite countertops | $45 – $100 |
| Porcelain slab countertops | $60 – $130 |
Please note: these are typical ranges, not quotes. Final pricing is set individually for each customer based on their specific project. The material, the slab's condition and flatness, the layout, and the demolition and prep all affect it. The only accurate number is a written estimate after RDC measures.
