Bathroom, Kitchen, Flooring & Fireplace Remodeling in Tempe, AZ

Mustache Approved Remodeling proudly provides high-quality remodeling services in Tempe, Arizona. From modern bathroom renovations to full kitchen remodels, new flooring, and fireplace refacing, our team delivers craftsmanship-driven results built to last.

Tempe offers a unique mix of housing—from classic 1950s-1970s ranch homes near Arizona State University to newer developments in areas like South Tempe, Alameda, Warner Ranch, and Kyrene Corridor. Many of these homes feature original bathrooms and kitchens that are now 20-50+ years old, with dated tile, worn cabinets, and layouts that no longer work for today’s lifestyles.

Whether you’re updating a cramped hallway bathroom, transforming a builder-grade master bath, modernizing a galley kitchen, or creating a stunning fireplace focal point, we specialize in clean designs, durable materials, and proven installation systems that protect your home and your investment—without shortcuts.

As a licensed general contractor (ROC #309760), we handle every aspect of your remodel—from design and demolition through installation and finishing details—ensuring quality workmanship and results that exceed expectations.

Bathroom Remodeling in Tempe, AZ

We specialize in custom bathroom remodeling designed for comfort, safety, and long-term performance. Tempe bathrooms—particularly in older ranch homes and 1990s-era builds—often feature dated tile surrounds, fiberglass tub/shower combos, worn vanities, and inefficient layouts. We offer master bathroom remodeling and small bathroom remodeling for guest baths, hall baths, and powder rooms.

Our bathroom remodels transform these spaces into modern retreats with custom tile showers, frameless glass enclosures, contemporary vanities, and premium fixtures that fit both your style and daily routine.

This comprehensive approach exceeds industry minimums and protects your home from leaks, moisture damage, mold, and costly repairs. It’s the difference between a shower that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 25+ years.
